Show WILL SEEK MORE LIGHT Senate Committee May Come to Utah in the Smoot Inquiry. WASHINGTON. Feb. 11. The investigation inves-tigation of the charges against Senator Reed Smoot has not closed and will not close for some time to come. Evidence of a most important character demands that the committee prolong its Inquiry along lines recently developed and it is highly probable that a sub-committee will devote a majority part of the summer sum-mer recess to the subject. It will undoubtedly un-doubtedly go to I'tah. Within a few days the Senate Committee Com-mittee on Privileges and Elections will be called together and the new facts communicated to it. Only a few men know the exact situation and the evidence evi-dence the committee has will be carefully care-fully guarded. This means there will be no disposition of the cise by this Congress. Senator Burrows, chairman of the Committee on Privileges :md Elections, declined to discuss the situation. "Just wait a while, all will yield well."' he said with a significant twinkle, and this taken ta-ken in conjunction with his remarks upon the Statehood bill and his veiled reference to important information, suggests that he has confidence in the report?. Yhile it is generally admitted now that there will be no action upon the case at this session, it is certain that several important speeches will be made upon the case before the session Is closed. Certain Senators have given . notice of their intention to speak upon the subject. One of these Senators who will address the Senate is a man who was near the scene of the Mountain Meadow massacre, and will tell what he knows of the situation. |
