WASHINGTON', Jan. 14. It is not
xpected that the "op-ent of Senator
Tillman that the senate investigate tho

not be found a member of t ho commit

start an investigation of Tillman's con

under tlx1 impression that the Pitch

hnrges are true that he senator was
not guilty of a violaiio.t of the law.
