Stirs Senate Again

Washington, Sept. 6.-Controversy

again to-day in the Senate. Senator
Smoot, of Utah. Republican called
up his resolution proposing an inves-
tigation by the Senate Military Com
mittee of the arrests in New York
and elsewhere, particularly to dis
close by whose orders soldiers and
sailors participated.
Senator Jones. of New Mexico, DEM

adoption of the resolution.
The raids, he said. are nothing new
and have accomplished much in iden-

said 500 were found and in New
York 1900, besides several hundred
deserters from the army.

Persistent Misrepresentation
Notwithstanding these facts the
Harrisburg Patriot again to-day per-
sisted in the effort to convict Mr..
Jennings of a violation of the regu-
lations.
Even if the well-known chairman
of the Committee of National Defense
and safety in this county, who has
also been chairman of the Dauphin
County Liberty Loan drives and ac-
tive in all manner of war work. had
inadvertently violated some obscure
regulation, which he has not done,
his friends all over the district be-
lieve that the great public service he
has rendered entitled him to some
consideration, especially in view of
the fact that such misrepresentation
would have tendency to place him
in a false position among those who
do not know of his patriotic efforts.
His friends everywhere have not
forgotten that Mr.. jennings has two
sons in the service in France and that
Mrs Jennings is the head of the Ma
tional War Aid here.
