Mason, Republican, Illinois. which
would appropriate funds for dispatch
of diplomatic and consular represents
tives to the government SET up by the
insurgent Irish republicans. Its SUP
porters declared it presented an oppor
tunity for congress to do all 1t could
/ cOnstitutimally toward full dplo-
matte recognition, and its opponents
condemned il as an effort TO involve
the United States In a dangerous for

Late in the session charges of pro-
Germanism on the part of the Irish
republican leaders and some of their
supporters in this country threw the
meeting into furore, which the COM

chairman had warned against insults
to any of the witnesses.
Justice Daniel F. Coha,an Of the
New York state supreme court and
Frank p. Walsh, who headed the Irish
American delegation sent to Paris dur
ing the peace negotiations, appeared to
