REPORT Mr.. GOMPERS AS
HAVING RESTFUL NIGHT

NEW YORK, April 29.-The ply
sicians attending Samuel Gompers.
president of the American Federation
of Labor, who was injured here Sun
day when q street car collided with a
taxicab in which he was riding, said
he passed another restful night and
that his condition today was consid-
cred satisfactory.
Examination of the patient showed
that one rib had been broken and the
hip badly wrenched. Although his
pulse and temperature were normal,
the physicians insisted on Mr.. Com
pers remaining in bed, receiving no call
ers and refraining from all effort, in
cluding reading. His engagements for
the immediate future have been called
off.
The patients son, Alfred L. Gompers,
arrived from Washington. A large
box Of flowers was received from the
White House and note from Sir
Thomas Upton.
In the box of flowers which came
from the White House conservatories
was card, stating that they had been
sent by the direction of President
Wilson. Large boxes of flowers also
were received from the WASHINGTON
lodge of Elks and from the Masonic
lodge in Washington to each Of which
Mr.. Gompers belongs.
He was to have attended tomorrow
the launching of the superdread-
nauEht Tennessee at the navy yard,
and had accepted an invitation to ad-
dress the men who had worked on the
construction of the battleship.

the courthouse, some delay was ex-
perienced in reaching them, and 1t was

"psycopathic personality" but was not

Mr.. Borah Says Congress
Is Responsible for Power
Exercised by P.O. Head

Blame for much Of the severe crit
icfsm of Postmaster General Burleson
was placed upon Congress today by
Senator Borah Of Idaho, republican,
who in a statement said the Post
master General is only enforcing the
laws which Congress passed confer
ring drastic and unlimited powers un-
der the guise of war powers. The
best remedy, the senator said, would
be for Congress to repeal these laws
Congress has granted Mr.. Burle !.
son." Senator Borah said, unlimited,
underlined, drastic and arbitrary DOW
ers; granted them in violation of the
most fundamental and cherished prfn-
c1ples OF free government. We grant
ed these powers under the guise of
war necessity. but no necessity ex-
listed! fol" any such grant of powers.
War upon the part Of a republic never
necessitates' the sacrifice Of the fun
damental principles upon which the
republic is organized.
he Is not exercising any authority
not within the provisions Of the law
which Congress passed. If he is ex
ercising it arbitrarily how did Con
gress expect arbitrary laws to be ex-
ecuted except in an arbitrary way?
II he is exercising that power de-
spotically, how did Congress expect
the laws to be executed except in a
despotic way? They are cruel, arbi-
trary and at war with every principle
OF free government and should be re-
pealed.
For Mr.. Burleson to be dismissed
and to leave these laws upon the
statute books would indeed be a tray-
esty. II we did not want arbitrary
power exercised in this country the
lawmaking body is the body to appeal
to and not to some administrative
officer"

ranging the welcome. Mr.. Cans said
Maj. Henry +. Sawtelle. commander
Of the outfit. told Y. NJ. c. a. officials
at Camp Merritt. n. J.. that his men
probably would be in Washington on
one Of those dates.
Unofficial information reached hero
today to the effect that the hospital
company would be broken up and that
possibly not more than half the unit
would come to Camp Meade. From ths
same source it was learned that the
officers probably would go to Camp
Custer, Michigan.
Brig. Gen. Richard d. Simms. COM
mander Of the new District National
Guard, is arranging to meet the hos
pital company with a detachment OF
guardsmen and a band.

ferred as a unit to Camp Meade. Nd.
for rehabilitation has not been defin-
itely learned. In letter received by
Mrs Sawtelle, at 3001 18th street. to-
day, the major referred to the fact
that he expected to start home soon
after he reaches Camp Meade. Whether
he meant that his whole company
would accompany him to Meade was
not made clear.
Definite word is expected soon from
Camp Merritt of the next move of the
Washington men.

LEAGUE CRITICS COUNT
ONLY VOTES AGAINST
PLAN AS NOW DRAWN
Republicans A Asked
Not TO Comment
On League Yet

kilograms were sent to all repub-
lican senators today by Senator
Lodge of Massachusetts,, floor lead
er. and Senator Curtis of Kansas.
whip, asking that public express
sions of opinion upon the league
of nations covenant be withheld
until a republican conference could
decide on what attitude should be
adopted.
The message follows:
I'VE suggest that republican
senators reserve final expressions
of opinion respecting the amend
ed league covenant until the lat
est draft has been carefully stud
led and until there has been an op-
portunity for conference"
The league of nations covenant
and the treaty of peace will be dis
cussed in open session of the Sem
ate, according to the plan of re-
publican leaders. Concurrence of
some democrats is expected. Car
rying out of the plan is said to be
assured.
No vote will be allowed on the
treaty until the obligations i'm
posed upon the United States by
the league of nations covenant
have been thoroughly explained to
the American people in the Senate
debate.
1t is declared to be the judgment
OF republican senators welding in
fluence in the Senate that. it will
be possible to dissociate the treaty
of peace from the league of ma
tions in a manner which will Sc
cure ratification of the peace treaty
and permit amendment of the late
covenant of the league of nations.
Amendments then would be pro-
posed in three major instances: To
strengthen preservation of the
Monroe doctrine; retain control of
the immigration question beyond
doubt, and amend article x, which
commits the United States to
maintenance of territorial integ-
rity of foreign nations.
