WHALEY IS SEATED; CONTEST AT AN END HOUSE SUSTAINS COMMITTEE KEPOKT WITHOUT KOLL CALL. Freear Makes Hard Fight For Investigation, Hut Loses by Vote of ??7 to 9S. I K. F. Murray in News and Courier. Washington, Jan. 27.?At about 4 o'clock this afternoon the house of representatives put the finishing touch to the Grace-Whaley case by rejecting on a yea and nay vote, by a majority of 227 to 98, the substitute offered by Congressman Freear, republican. of Wisconsin, for the resolution submitted by Chairman Post, of elections committee No. 1, in support of the minority report of that committee against any further investigation. The Freear resolution provided for the appointment of a special committee of seven members to conduct an investigation, sitting where it pleased, and armed with the power of subpoena. Nineteen republicans, including the republican floor leader, Representative Mann, of Illinois, were among the 227 who voted against the Freear resolution, and eight democrats were among cne ys wno votea ior n. After the defeat of this resolution the majority report of the committee was ^ sustained without roll call. Speeches Made. At the request of various speakers, the time of debate was extended an tour or more. The first speech was made by Congressman Borcher, democrat, of Illinois, who favored a further investigation of the Grace charges, but did not concur fully in the Freear minority report. Mr. Borchers reviewed the record at some length from his point of view, and at the close made a refernce to Illinios politics, urging South Carolina to profit by the example of his own State and change the occupants of some of the seats in congress. Mr. Borchers represents the district formerly represented by Congressman j McKinley, who managed the Taft campaign. Representative French, republican, of Idaho, followed Mr. Borchers. Mr. French is a member of the elections committee and signed the majority report. He made a very effective speech and got applause from both sides. He declared that he would have been heartily in favor of an investigation if Mayor Grace had been "\ able to produce anything definite to 1 justify it, and he renewed his suggestion, made as an addendum to the majority report, mat steps De laxeu to look into the admission made by Mr. Grace tftat $44,500 had been spent in the interest pf HughQB. Mr. French severely criticised the mayor. Leader Qf Minority. The "heavy gun1' of the minority was Representative Freear, who has a forceful delivery and is skillful in parliamentary tactics. Mr. Freear repeated to the house practically the whole of his minority report. He was embarrassed with questions with re- " gard to the admissions Mayor Grace had made as to his own political record, but his answer was that two 1 * j wrongs do not make a rignt. ne saiu j; that he believed Mr. Grace was telling! the truth to the committee, and that!, he had been treated like a dog by the committee. For the latter statement he apologized to Chairman Post, saying that it was stronger than he had intended. Mr. Freear read a telegram from ( Mayor Grace, who had said that he had been too busy to send an analysis | W of the unfair majority report, but that he hoped the investigation by special committee would be made, and assur- { ed Mr. Freear that there need be no fear that the facts would not be forthcoming to prove all the allegations n o-oin <?f Whalev. He declared that he ; could not understand why Mr. Whaley himself had not asked congress to make the investigation demanded. He j and other speakers on his side referred to the pardon record of Governor Blease as an illustration of the Mr inefficiency of the law in South Carolina. j In Favor of Majority. The strong and aggressive speeches in favor of the majority report were made during the day. One of them was by Representative Elder, of i Louisiana, a member of the elections ^ committee, who said that Chairman - -? ^ P Post had treated Mr. urate >\ 1111 hj.uv.li j more consideration than he should [ have done during the committee hearings. i Representative Stephens, of Mississippi, another member of tihe committee, spoke with still greater vehem-1 ence, and declared that there were j only two uncontradicted statements j of corruption in the record, namely, ^ those that Mr. Grace had spent j (CONTINUB]>-ON PAGE 3).
