back to the hotel. and he was demoted at that time. Q—In his conversation over the telephone yesterday did he make any mention of Joel Baker or the incident when Wayne Coy was saulted? A—He never said a word about Wayne Coy or Joel Baker or the incident. He just said that he regretted that he and I had any difference and asked if I would go to Morrissey for him, which I have done. I hold nothing against him. Q-—How long had you known this Officer John Dalton? A—I have known him since this session of the Legislature opened. Q~—This present? A—I was introduced to John Dalton this present session. Q—Was he with any one at that time? A—He was with another officer, Q—Did you ever see him in the company of Joel A. Baker?

but I had no conversation with him | whatsoever and I feel as if there |

was no reason for what happened to me. Q—Before he was demoted did Chief Morrissey or any one in his behalf call you about the reported incident? A—Yes, I was called from the Board of Safety right after it happened.

A—No, I just regret the in- | cident happened. It is just a sad | thing which is no fault of ours. I| | hold no bad feeling or animosity | toward the officer.

Q—Mr. Beggs, do you know about what time of the day it was when Mr. Baker said that he hoped Cancilla had not hit him? A—I would say it was a little bit before 12 o'clock noon. I. do not know exactly, Q—When you saw him with the bill do you know what time of day that was? When you saw Joel Baker? A—I don’t even remember the day, to tell you the truth about it. Q—It could only have been Friday or Saturday. A—I don’t recall. I would rather not say what day it was. I don’t know. Q—You received the bill on the 26th, that was Friday, Saturday was the 27th. On Saturday we had that committee of the whole. Q—Monday was the day Wayne was attacked. A—I don’t know which day it was.

signed to any particular committee? A—No. Q—I would like to clear up this one little point about the conversation that you had with Joel Baker at the time you saw the bill in his pocket. Do I understand that he called you over to him to show you the bill that he had, or what was the circumstances? A—No, he called me over there to say something, but I do not know what he said now. I don’t recall a word that he said. I don’t know what he said.

Q—It was just through seccident that you saw the bill in his coat pocket? A—Yes, he had it out there in plain view in his side. He was facing out through that little corridor toward the House Chamber. He would be facing this way.

according to the Commis- | sioner. Aimed at probing the records of | employers, the two clauses would | allow inspection of wages, records | and working conditions.

By United Press WASHINGTON, March 5. — The Senate Railroad Investigating Committee called Thomas W. Lamont and George Whitney, J. P. Morgan & Co. partners back to the witness stand today for further questioning concerning dealings with the late Van Sweringen brothers.
