WASHINGTON, Feb. 25. = Unless
Congress passes legislation that will
enable the government to deport hun
dreds of dangerous enemy aliens now
nterned, these German agents will be
liberated by the Department of Justice
upon the signing of the treaty of peace.
1t was revealed at the Department of
Justice to-day that present laws are
entirely inadequate to prevent a re-
sumption of activity by these enemy
aliens, and that thus far Congress has
ignored the request of Attorney Gen
eral Gregory for legislation providing
for their deportation.

of Justice were at least hundred
bomb plotters, German spies and
agents and highly dangerous aliens"

Calder Resolution Directs
A. Mitchell Palmer TO
Make Report to Senate
Inquiry May Be Outcome
Certain Democrats Said to
Have Received s'Fat" Fees
for Work for Custodian

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-An in
quiry into the conduct of the Office of
A. Mitchell Palmer, Alien Property
Custodian, may be the outcome of a
resolution introduced by Senator
Calder, of New York, and adopted by
the Senate to-day. The resolution di-
reefs Mr.. Palmer to submit to the
Senate complete data relative to his
office and his methods of administering
its business.
The resolution was the result of re-
peated charges made privately that
certain Democrats, principally lawyers
have been receiving cXhorbitant fees
from Mr.. Palmer. 1t is alleged, among
other things, that a former member of
Congress from Brooklyn had received
more than $4,000. in fees from the
Alien Property Custodian in the last
twelve months and protegc of the
administration, a senator elect, was
being paid $1,000 a day for his SER
vices.
Mr.. Palmer several times has denied
there was anything improper in the
administration of his office.
property valuation now in the care of
Mr.. Palmer amounts to S2,OO00 900, 900,
and insists that the public is entitled
to know how the property has been
disposed of.
Senator Calder's resolution was
adopted while the Democrats we're not
watching and failed to realize its i'm
port. The text of the resolution fol-
lows:
"Resolved, That the Alien Property
Custodian be and is hereby directed tc
transmit to the Senate of the United
States the following information, as
provided for under section Of the act
entitled AN act to define, regulate and
punish. trading with the enemy and FOR
other purposes approved October 6,

ing February IS, 1919; such report
shall contain a list of all persons an
pointed or employed, with the salary
or compensation paid to each and a
statement of the different kinds of
property takon into custody and the
disposition made thereof"
Said report shall recite the name
and address at the time of their desig-
nation or appointment of such persons
as clerks, Investigators, accountants

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25. - Eight
members of the New York Republican
delegation will become chairmen of
committees in the House of Rcpresen-
tativcs unless there is a sweeping un-
setting of the seniority rule, which is
not expected now, with the caucus onlv
two days off
The only case in which there is any
doubt is that of Representative Platt.

Banking and Currency Committee,

a rapid rise on the committee and is
made the ranking member now bv the

comes chairman of the committee on

times an important committee.
Any member of the House would
rather take the bottom place on the
Ways and Means Committee than the
chairmanship Of almost any other.

to the Speakership and other preferre d
positions in addition to the actual i'm

vacant by George w. Fairchild's re-
tirement both may have chairmanships

the place they are fighting for. Mr.
Mott has the option of being chairman
OF the committee on expenditures in

entitled by seniority, and Mr.. Gould
may become chairman of the committee

Cred Propaganda Dangerous
That there is some danger from the
bolsheviki propaganda is the opinion
OF the Ambassaor. He said he is as
sured that the Bolsheviki are sending
money and propagandists into all
countries. He said the Bolsheviki were
coming rubles without any thought of
the value or consequence and were
selling them to the best advantage,
and this money is finding its way to
other countries, he believes.
Until there is a solution for that
problem l do not see how there can
be any peace for the world" he said.
THAT is the reason l wish to return.
If something is not done to save Rus
STA, the Germans are certain to gain

soldiers of Austro-Germany and the
Russian soldiers, would become a pow

JAMES M. MURPHY HOME
AFTER IA MONTHS OVERSEAS

Not having heard from his son for
several weeks Officer Patrick Murphy
was pleasantly surprised on Saturday
when his son, James M. Murphy, who
has been overseas for the past IA
months, returned home. Mr.. Murphy
did not know that his son was in this
country or had even left France. The
letters he mad written to his son last
July had been returned to him and he
was beginning to have fears for his
sens safety.
James M. Murphy was one of the
first four boys from Norwich to go to
Camp Devens and one of the first to
sail for overseas. He was with Com
pany of the now famous 102d regi-
ment of the 26th (Yankee) Division
that left New Haven for overseas in
September, but after having sailed
about 400 miles out to sea was forced
to turn back to Fort Totem, Staten
Island, owing to engine trouble. They
then left for overseas on Oct. IS, 1918,
and arrived safely in France and all
most Immediately were sent to the
front line trenches.
Mr.. Murphy was stationed in the
Toul sector for a number of months
and in April in a gas attack launched
| by the Huns he was badly gassed.
He spent four months in Il hospital
and was finally discharged and being
unfit for infantry service was trans
| ferred to the electrical engineering de-
partment where he remained until the
| signing of the armistice.
. Mr.. Murphy left France on Dec: %
! and after thirteen days arrived al
