POLITICAL SCANDALS.
EXCITEMENT IN AMERICA.
INVESTIGATIONS AT WASHINGTON.
Washington, Jan. 30.
Not satisfied with the oil investigationsjdone. the Democratic members of Congress promise a progressive investigation into various activities of the Republicant administration, including the Shipping Board and aircraft. The capital has become a city of investigations and rumoured scandals. The nation’s legislative (business has stopped completely. The Republican party chieftains hold midnight councils in an attempt to stein the tide of public disapproval over the oil scandal, while the Democrats hold secret conclaves in an attempt to secure the greatest possible political advantage from the situation. An interesting incident in connection with investgations of scandals occurred to-day. when the court dismissed the indictments against Crowell. Crowell successfully. maintained that he merely obeyed the orders of Mr. Baker, then Secretary for War. Thus a scandal which had been, promised a year ago never materialised. —(A .and N.Z,)
