President Renews Fight
Against Senate Inquiry

Washington, May 10. - President
Wilson today renewed his fight
against adoption by the Senate OF
Senator Chamberlain's resolution for
a war inquiry by the Senate military
affairs committee. He advised SEN
ator Thompson of Kansas that the
resolution as amended yesterday by
the Senate expenditures committee
still is objectionable.
Considering all the circumstances,
President Wilson told Senator
Thompson, chairman of the expendi-
lures committee, the Chamberlain
resolution, even as modified, would
in effect authorize a "dragnct" in
yestigation by the military commit
tee.
During today's preliminary discus
sion significance was attached TO a
statement by Senator Martin that he
had hoped the appointment Of Mr'
Hughes for the aviation inquiry
would satisfy every senator that the
government is going to make q thor
ough Investigations
During the day Senator Brandegee
presented to the Senate the letters
and affidavits received by him from
Gutzon Borglum denying charges that
the sculptor negotiated for the or
SANITATION of a private airpiane cor
poration while inquirinG into the aVl-
alton situation at the invitation OF
the President. The senator said Bor-
glum's accusations against govern :
ment officials were so grave that ne
would not stand sponsor for them
and therefore would not ask that they
he put into the record. He read TINS
telegram from the sculptor:
II was acting as | believed cor
rectlv in asking YOU to place my re
nly before the Senate. Will you
kindly give the papers to some SEN
ator who may regularly do this?
cannot let slanderous afirmatiOnS
without proof be brought before the
Senate without reply, and of course
no one wishes to deprive me Of the
right to answer
Senator Brandegee said he had no
intention of suppressing the papers,
hut believed they should be referred
to the military committee.

picture; rather it is strong virile
story Of modern times in which the
development and the strength of the
picture are concentrated upon the
plot and not upon elements of inter
national intrigue which run, subordi-
mated by the plot, throughout the
film. Miss Glaum appears, for the
first time in years, in sympathetic
role. Her emotional performance in
AN Alien Enemy is so impressive
as to rank her among the greatest
artists of dramatic Interpretation.
Miss Glaum is supported by a strong
cast of eminent players.-Adv.
