Bond Issue Criticised Tillman Hints At Inquiry
The Senate debated the Treasury bond issue with Titman Culberson and Hatley pushing for an investigation into the allocation of Panama bonds. Aldrich defended Cortelyou while noting some bidders, especially banks, received better allocations than individuals. A letter showed individuals over $10,000 bids received no allotments, prompting discussion of potential irregularities and an inquest into the process. The finance committee was to consider Tillman’s resolutions and await Cortelyou’s response.
