proprietors and to FIVE public rights

mar school

HAS NOTHING TO SAY.
Former Attorney General BOnaparte on
The Senate Order

Baltimore, June 22.-Chas. J. Bona
parte, former attorney general Of the
T. S. last night refused to say ANYTHING
regarding the statement from Washing
ton that Attorney General Wickersham
has been ordered TO send to the Senate
all the acts in possession Of the depart
nent Of justice relating to the prosecu-
tion Of DR.. E. B. PerTine, Of Williams,
Ariz., on the charge Of conspiracy to
defraud the government in timber land
cases and was asked for a sta tement
relative to the matter
Washington, june 22.--Attorney-Gen-
eral Wickersham, by an order adopted
by the Senate committee on Judiciary
yesterday, il commanded to send to the
Senate all Of the facts in the possession
Of the department of Justice relating %
the prosecution Of Or. r. r. Perrine Of
Williams, Ariz., on the charge Of con-
spiracy to defraud the government in
California lumber land cases. The data
was sealed by former Attorney General
fBonaparte and the packages, which were
left in the files of the department Of JUS
tiee were marked confidential" Con-.
frmation Of the re1ppointment of Mr.
Deylin, who was nominated on March
20 last has been opposed because Of cHi-
ticism Of his course il conducting the
Perrine case.
The chief criticism Of District Attor-
ney Devlin is that he has declined TO
press the case against Perrine although
the report made to the department Of
justice by w. r. Harr, formerly a spec
ial attorney in land cases. now an as
sistant to the attorney general, declares
that such action should be taken.
1T was yesterday brought out at the
session Of the subcommittee which Is
Investigating the Devlin nomination that
the Harr report declares the conviction
of Perrine was procured by methods
which could not be approved by the de-
partment Of Justice. Mr.. Harr gave the
details Of the Indictment Of Perrine
which he attributed to a statement made
by w. J. Burns, United States secret
service operative, whose services were
loaned to Francis j HeneY in gathering
evidence in lumber frauds.
This statement. which was made to
the grand jury was to the effect that
he (BuTns) had Just come from Oyster
Bay and knew that President Roosevelt
desired to have Perrine indicted.
At session lasting more than three
hours yesterday the subcommittee,
composed of Senator's Piles, Borah and
Overman discussed the Han report. Sen
ator BoTah criticised the action Of for
mer Attorney General Bonaparte in seal
ing the information and declared to his
colleagues that it was evident that Mr..
Bonaparte did not want to proceed on
the line recommended by Mr.. Harr,
which called for the dismissal Of pro-
ecedings against Perrine and the prose
eution Of Smell on charge Of perjury.
Smell, former emplove Of Perrine, tes-
titled against HIM Mr. Borah insisted
that the reason for Mr.. Bonaparte's
failure to act should be given to the
committee and that the subject was one
which should receive he attention of the
full committee on Judiciary.
