He did not believe tht slightest degree of partiality or favoritism had been shown by any officer or employe of tl e pension bureau toward any attor ney, 'i lie new order was giving more satisfaction to the country at large than the original plan and had considerably expediated business, although some in justice was worked perhaps toward claimants with attorneys. II. Honsbatk, a mechanical engineer, fcUrted in to tell how he met in Mem. phis, several years ago, Frank A. Smith w ho, he had been told, w as the paten tee of the Universal refrigerator.

Cooptr insisted that he would prove by the witness that Smith w as working on the citizens of Memphis, trying to create a corporation, just as had been done here; that the citizens of Mem phis investigated and the patentee de camped, just as he had done in Califor nia afterwards; that he came next to the pension ofliee as the best place to organize a scheme with the head of the bureau tl at was a fraud. Commissioner I'aum interrupted to say that Cooper took his refrigerator charges from certain newspaper articles. The men w ho wrote those articles knew that they were lies and Cooper today knew they were false. He had not proven his charges and now sought to throw out a drag net to bring iu other things to break down the enterprise in which he (Haum) was interested. He did not propose to have his private bus iness subjected to investigation unless the house directed it. Lewis argued for a full and fair in vestigation. The invention was im practicable and worthless. The conn try ought to know it because he be lieved an officer of the United States should not use his official position to boast any worthless enterprise. . In answer to a question Cooper said be did not know that he could prove that Geoerat Raum knew the inven tion was a fraud. He could prove that he ought to know. After further discussion the matter went over and Smyser was recalled. Coopsr asked if he had not told Lewis (a member of the committee) that be had no money interest in the stock, f-'myser replied that he told Lewis that while the stock w as entered in his name he did not own all of it, but represent ed some gentlemen In Ohio. This brought Lew is to his feet and there was a wordy war between him self and Smyser. Lewis finally admit ted that he might have misunderstood him. Adjourned. XIimmm Democrat.
