of Mr. HuKhrs who conducted the riircraft inquiry, Mr. Cummir.cs jrild lht iliffcrenco between republican leaders In conicrcf s and the president was that the president had feiccted for the inquiry a man of known Impartiality, while the other was a I-urely political Investigation. Questions IVxxI Sales. Kep. Magee, republican, of New York, asked Mr. Cummings for a ye cr no answer bearing on the war Investigation and the resultant sale of army food. "Why. that's a trick question." tho witness replied. "It's like asking a jr.an if ho has quit beatin? his wife." ".Strike that out," Mr. Magee thouted. and it was t-tricken out. Chairman Freu contended that the democrats were making a concerted attempt to discredit the In

ci v.-bat wou!! come latrr. From the moment he entered the corrrnittee room and introduced

'limfflf to the members demanding'

an explanation, until he went away. Mr. Cit:im!r continu illy was smilir.sr, whil Chairman Frear pounded the table with great heat and stopi d the proc- dings to have certain replies stricken from thi record. With marked courtesy, Mr. Cumm rigs, turning to the chairman and addressing him as "my good fellow," said that h? knew before he arrived that ho would be unable to .ati.lv the republicans. There were i-omo sharp retor3 from Chairrra.'i Frear, to one or which the witn lighting a cigar from another and still smiling, declared. "My. v. .-isn't that a delicate thrust." Appmw-H Artielr.

At the outlet Mr. Cummings told! the jommlttee that while In- had not!

t'r.e republicans took offence, ho, q::-te approved it, except that it was j not vigorous enough. It was during thi.i questioning that" Chairman j I'rtar told the. stenographer not tO: j erra-.t certain statements to remain J in the record, to which th witness replied that in' a court of Justico he i would have more rights. What the I chairman wanted to know especially j w-:-: th b'asis for tho charge that i thv ?ub-committee was a "smelling! c ommittee." and that it soon was to I start on a '"junket." Finally, after j a sharp wrangle. Mr. Cummings said that he understood the. committee'' coritrmplatfi! a western trip to lookj

into pprucc conditions relating to rviat'on, when all of this had been gone over by Charles K. Hughes. "Thre have been other Inquiries,"'

the witnrsa continued, "and thii

-.vhol subject haa been canvassed until it 13 threadbare. Moreover, the taking up a. subject of this character by a committee which I submit lr not friendly to tho administration and not in n. position to !ve an unbiased opinion, Is a waste of ti:Ti and public money. andin ordinary political parlance a 'Junket.' " Calls Trip "Junket," "la it fair to this committee when I Is ordered to make a trip to call it a Junket?" Chairman Frear asked. "I think so," Mr. Curnmintrs replied. "It Is perfect folly to spend money on a trip of this 'character when you ought really to send public accountants, and when there are so many other problems, including fhe

high cost of. living, demanding consideration." I "Tho republican organization."! the witness went on, "lias Indulged! in plenty of slander directed at the!

president of th United states and you should bo sportsmen enough to stand mtM criticism. This is not a marker to what's coming." "If you do there will be an Investigation by tho house," the chairman interrupted. "Fine," the witness replied. "I have quito enjoyed myself this evening." In commending the public service

lSSfS the witness was a republican. He told how he and Mr. Magee and Hep. Lee, democrat of California, members of the committee, had pro-

tested against being forced to travel

to the Pacific coast next month. Mr. Frear said he had been to the coast over every railroad so the trip was no "Junket" for him.
