Take Cs Any Line of Canal Inqnlry Deemed Noeeseary. WASHINGTON. Doc. 18.-That the senate committee on Interoceanlo canals' Is pre pared to take up any sort of an Investiga tion of canal affairs that may be do manded by any member of the committee was asserted today by Senator Klttredge of South Dakota, chairman of the com mittee. Thus far there have been no demands upon the committee, and as there baa not been a meeting at the present session of congress It cannot be ascertained what ac tion will be taken. "It has been the policy of the senate committee," said Mr. Kit tredge today, "to call witnesses at any lime a demafld Is made by any member of .the committee, and I purpose to continue that policy." The demand. If It oomee, prob ably will originate with democratic mem bers. An Investigating resolution was offered In the house by Representative Ralney of Illinois, which Is said to have been offered at the suggestion of the democratic na tional committee followtflg the publication In certain "democratic and Independent newspapers of a story that Americans may have profited by the sale of the canal property to the United States. Senator Cul berson, chairman of the minority caucus of the senate, was intimately connected with the management Ot the democratic na tional campaign and Is a member of the senate canal committee, but he has not yet taken cognizance of the houso resolution.
