Secretary Baker Called on Carpet In Probe of War Asked to Give Reason for Re- fusing Investigators Permis sion to Inspect Depart- ment Records. Washington, Feb. 12y-A resolu tion which is expected to shift the congressional investigation of the conduct of the war into a new field was introduced by Representative Flood, democrat, Virginia, member of the general investigating body. The resolution called on Secre tary Baker for all facts connected with the application of J. M. Hill and C C. Lindsey "for permission to inspect the secret archives of the War department and the refusal of the department to grant ' such per mission." The two were' employed by an investigator who wa!s employed by the Johnson sub-committee and not directly by the committee, the chair man explained. A voucher of $2,400 for their work, or part of it, made out in the name of their employer, is held by Chairman Ireland of the house committee on accounts and has not been paid. ' Their names were brought before the general investigating committee last June. Mr. " Flood ia denying charges then by republican members that the War department's attitude was unfavorable to the investigation, declared the only, refusal was in the case of Hill and; Lindsey who were seeking certain f secret documents containing the settlement of con tracts. This action, he charged, was taken after the department authori ties had found that their real purpose was to obtain money from, a news paper for information supposed to be dTT.fite f scmong-: Tgxt cmroc.nt!-rtcortfcji "in the event they were unable to otyairt a large sum through black mail."; - . i , . vi,? Chairman Ireland, in the house this week, criticized the expenditure of large sums by investigating commit-i tees, declaring he had seen "no real application of concrete results" from the war investigations and that his committee undoubtedly would have disapproved many of the contracts had it known about it.
