Party Vote in House Prevents
It, as 1T Might EmbarraSs
the Administration"
'AFRAID,' SAY REPUBLICANS
Attorney General, Using Byrns
as Instrument to Check Speech,
Fears Truth of Caminetti
Case, Says Mr.. Mann.
rrrnm Tic Tribune Bureau.l

Washington. July 1S.--On the partisan
ground that 1T might embarrass the az
rinIstration," the Democrats OF the
House to-day prevented a discussion OF
the Caminettl- Digs white slave case
and the Kahn resolution asking for III
formation regarding the dilatory atutuue
OF the Department Of Justice in this mat
ter and the Western Fuel Company case
Dlsregarding the general understand
ing OF Tuesday last that four hours de-
bate would be allowed on the Kahn reso-
lutions to-day, Representative Byrhs'
Tennessee Democrat, moved TO table the
resolutions forthwith and shut off all dis
cussion, including a carefully prepared
speech by Mr. Kahn. The motion pre-
vailed by q vote Of 1873 to 81 Mr.. Byrns
gag motion wa1 made in opposition to the
wishes Of Chairman Clayton Of the Ju-
dietary Committee, who had been party
TO the agreement that Republicans might
have all opportunity to discuss a con-
trovcrsy which already has involved the
administration In serious embarrassment
score of Democrats voted with the Re-
puolicans against the palpable attempt
to prevent discussion which might be un-
pleasant 90 the Democrats
Following the adjournment Of the
House. Representative Mann, the minor
ity leader. issued a caustic statement re-
ssrding the activity Of Mr. Byrns. He
said: THE almost unprecedented action
OF the Democrats In the House to-day. Of
laying the Kahn resolution Of inquiry in
the Camlnetti case on the table, shows
how desperately afraid the Democrats are
OF having the truth known. The move
ment was led by Mr. Byrns, OF Tennessee
from which state the Attorney General
comes. and it is understood that Mr..
Byrns is acting at the instigaIion Of the
Attorney General"
The statement issued by Mr. Mann
quickly brought a reply from Mr.. Byrns
The Tennessee Democrat asserted he acted
Oh his own initiative. and without con-
sultation with Mr.. McReynods. Mr..
Byrns SAYS he was actuated by the very
evident fact that Mr. Kahn desired TO
make a speech. thereby hoping TO en-
barrass the administration and at the
same time promote the political fortunes
OF Mr. McNab. Republican, and notorious
candidate for Governor of California
Mr.. Kahn will yet find way to deliver
his speech. he said to-day.

Mulhall also told what purported 10 DC

serted Brownell told him. and then ne
would get his price. Mulhall declared that
the plan was ridiculous and could not be
carried out. as Gompers was too shre"d

Brownell, the former lobbyist said, told
him he had $4,000 TO get Gompers ana

tho National Council for Industrial De
fence had been organized TO get around
the New York law prohibiting campaign
contributions from corporations. Mul-
hall had said IL was an unincOrporated
body and had been formed for this pur-
pose.
In answer to Mr. McCarter Mulhall
said he knew its purpose from "A talk
with it's officers. and then he went on:
