 Weather Favored Homeless.
 Perfect June weather simplified the task of caring for the homeless. The refugees, for the most part, refused to be downhearted Children romped about the tents looking upon the sit uation as a picnic. Property holders answering inquiries of friends an nounced their losses in most instances with a smile and a shrug and began to talk of rebuilding. They even found humor in the fact that Mayor Hurley, who had lost personally through the burning of his home, still wore the tall silk hat which has long been con- spicuoIs in Salem's political history.
 Families Become Separated.
 One of the saddest places in the city was about the quarters of the domes- tic affairs department of the relief committee, in charge of Edward F. Moore, who was secretary to former Mayor John F. Fitzgerald of Boston. Early in the day the committee had the names of 200 men. women and children who had become separated from their families Tonight this num- Der had been reduced to one hundred Considering the scope of the disaster there were comparatively few small children whose parents could not be found tonight. So determined were one family of nine not to b espaerated that notwithstanding all the efforts of the relief officials they insisted upon oc- cupying one small tent five feet by seven

Haven railroad system was empha- sized in a letter read before the sen ate today by Senator Norris. The let ter written by Mir McReynolds crit icised statements made on the floor of the senate by Senator Norris, as to the departments attitude toward the interstate commerce commission investigation of the New Haven.
 Senator Norris had declared in dis cussing the matter: The attorney general did not have in contemplation any criminal action, and nobody has been given immunity in that case" and had referred to a statement from the attorney generals office to the eff feet that there never was in contem- plation any criminal action, that there was no violation of any federal stat ute in the proceedings that were had in the New Haven affairs
 Writing to the attorney general Senator Norris supported these state ments by reference to conference with the attorney general at which Senator Kern was present.
 There was no claim made at this conference" he wrote. "by you that any federal statute had been violated CT that your department contemplated any critical proceedings in the New Haven affair.""
 Basis of Senator's Statement.
 The senator said the statement re- ferred to in his speech was one is sued by the department of justice in January, setting forth that there is no law under which the department can prosecute officers, directors, or other agents Of a railroad company for improvident or dishonest manage ment."
 Attorney Generals Reply.
 In his reply the attorney general said: The language which you un- fortunately employed is out of har- mony with the real facts; and if ac- cepted as accurate would cast a false light about the situation.
 . 'The assertion that the attorney general did not have in contemplation any criminal action, and nobody has been given immunity in that case was unwarranted and misleading. Speak ing in your presence I had expressly declined to declare my plans or pur- poses. and this has been my uninter- rupted attitude. It was therefore i'm possible for you to know what they were. and yet you undertook to make announcement in respect of them. As is we'll known, MT. Mellen. con- specuous figure, was then. and Is now under indictment in the federal court because of certain transactions con- nected with New Haven affairs.
