\SKN M>ATE TO INVESTIGATE
Albany. N Y.. March 23 — Attorney
General Jackson today sent to the sen-
ate a letter asking for an investigation
of his department by the senate. The
letter was referred to the finance com-
mittee. which is now considering the
resolution introduced yesterday call-
ing for an investigation of the attor-
ney general's action with regard to re-
ceivership for financial institutions. In
his letter Mr. Jackson says:
"My administration of the office of
attorney general has been severely at-
tacked in certain quarters, due, as I
believe, to ignorance of the facts to
political opposition or to personal en-
mity engendered by my attempts to
enforce the law without fear or favor."
