land and Solicitor General Goods It was Proper the Government Should Bring the WAsniKOTOw, July Chairman Boyle, of the Pan Eleotrie Telephone investigating committee, submitted his report to the house this morning. It la indorsed by Messrs. Gates, Eden and Hale, and Is what waf intended to ba the majority report. The r- port first reviews the press charges against the Pan Electric company, and on this toplo concludes that it does' not find "that either the Bell company or the Pan Electrlo company, "or their officers, agents or employee have in any manner improperly influenced or attempted to influence officials or official Taction by or through the public press." Then the Pan Electric company, its formation, character and intentions are reviewed at great length. A full history of it origin, workings and present condition to given, including a recitation of the bonan za, acts of Dr.

Rogers, who distributed stock to public men and attempted to gain for the company widespread reputation. The actions of the federal officers -is 'the company are explained in an exonerating Speaking of the effort of certain officers of the Pan; Electric company to sec nre the appointment of Young Rogers as electrician of the Capitol the report 'tays: "What would have been the harm if Roger's had been appointed and if the telephone had been placed in the Capitolt No legislation was asked, or, so far as. the committee can see, was possible in the interest of the tele phone company, and if it had been; how could tne presence of Rogers and his tele phones in the Capitol have influenced itFv The report states that the Bell.tek- phone was exhibited at the Capitol and no one 1 suspscted that the- object was to- influence lee is la tion. The method adopted by the Rogers for de veloping their inventions and bringing them into use it says was not unusual. The members who signed this report do not hold Attorney-General Garland, but Solicitor-General Goods, responsible for or dering tne suits ey tne government They say Mr.

Garland refused at the outset to have anything to do with the telephone matters in connection with his offioi Solicitor General Goode was the proper officer, they think, to take onarge of the applications for suits after the attorney-general refuse to do so. v. A great many citations are mode, show ing the reasons and authorities for bringing the suits, all of which vindicate the action of the public officials. The report observes that Mr. Goode and Mr.

Lunar ought not to have 'been deterred from ordering the government suit by the allegations- that the question involved in it had already been adjudicated, and then continues: "It has been urged that the; people of the- tWted Btates have not sufficient interest fu havintj tne oeu patenm overmrown to warrant the interference of the government; as the effect would be only to establish some other, monopoly in their, stead. The committee does not so regard the mat ter. Least of all could this suit so result to the benefit of the Pan Electric Telephone com pany, as many inventions preceded that of Koger-a The effect would be to throw the market open to all companies. All would probably do something, but the one having tue i best instruments and being the best managed would probably have Uie greatest degree oE success. Speaking of the inventions and Intentions of the "Rogers family, the report says: "Dr.

Rogers testified that he was poor, always poor, but hoped to become through his son's patents. Whether J. H. Rogers was in better circumstances than his fattier the committee did not learn. It appsan i that.

notwithstanding he had obtained patents for what are conceded to be at least great improvements on previous telephone instru ments, he had not been able to put them in. use, and desired help to do so. The gentlemen to whom he had assigned interests were men of the highest character some law yers of known ability, some soldiers of distinction and others men in high positions. That Mr. Rogers expected to profit by all these conditions is doubtless true; that ho thought tne standing given to these gentlemen by their official positions would be of ser vice to bun may be admitted, and that thev expected their skill as lawyers, their reputa tions as men of integrity, and even their official positions, supposed to be the best of their kind, into public use, and thus maka them of great value, need not be denied.

But did they intend to use their, powers as public officers to further the private enter prise in wmcn tney engaged! Did they in tend to prostitute their honorable reputa tions ana taeir nign positions to foist add impose upon the government or the publis wortniess inventions, ana to obtain money by fraudulent and dishonest practices! In. other words, ok) these men, to whom wrongdoing had never before been imputed, and who are. regarded now by those who hare-given the widest circulation to the charges against them, as guilty of no but at most of an, intend to become, and did they beoome scoundrels all at once!" 5 The committee. In nlwlinnrv. in ttM tion creating it, considered the conduct of those persons who were officers of the government of the United States and members of the senate and the house at the time of the happening of the several things with, whlcn it was alleged tney were connected.

The question of the right of a oommlttee of the house to investigate the conduct of a senator baa not bean raised. Members of the senate have been treated as if they had been members of the hones. The public acta tnese gentlemen nave Men considered and the testimony taken as to their private acts a private business enterprise has bean re ferred to only so far aa their private con nuct ana relations night be supposed to affect their acta as public officers. The com mittee does not mean to Intimate that there was anything in their private conduct which war: even of doubtful propriety. The report thtn ooncludes.

as follows: The committee repeats what perhaps has already been made sufficiently, clear that it does not wish to be understood as taking any part in or expressing any opin ion upon any controversy affecting the validity of the Bell patents. What it has said this connection is Intended not aa an expression of its own opinions noon the matters involved in that controversy, because as them members of the committee who join this report might differ. The sole purpose has been to look at these matters with view to ascertain whether the officials con nected with the bringing of the Mvernment suits acted within or without legal author ity, and wnetner irom tnelr standpoint there seamed to be "reaaoa" for ordering said suite. The committee doee find that there was sufficient "reason and uthorityn for briosine suits, but it expressly refrains from at. tempting to find whether the Bell patent was ODtainea fraudulently or Bell was the inventor of the naaking tele I phone.
