Senator Calder objections to the ex-
pense began TO be made, Senator Jones.
OF New Mexico, Democrat, and Senator
Borah, Of Idaho. Republican, being
among the critics. Senator Underwood,
of Alabama, Democrat. pointed out that
the alien property custodian was hav-
ing his books audited by a firm Of
bonded accountants, and that the Cal
der resolution proposed repeating the
performance at an additional cost from
$l50,000 to $500 900. He suggested an
amendment forbidding duplication of
work and this was agreed to.
1t viii be remembered that the SEN
ate Judiciary committee recently in
,vestigated at length all the charges
brought against Mr.. Palner's conduct
OF the office Of alien property custodian
by Senator Frelinghuysen and others,
and that this committee, Republicans
and Democrats alike, reported unani-
mously In his favor. Also that when
the question Of Mr.. Palmers eonfirma-
ton came before the senate there was
but one dissenting vote, that, II is said
being Senator Frelinghuysen
notwithstanding this, Senator Calder
insisted that 1.-The expenditure OF $780,
900 or 100000 or even more than that,
would be a splendid investment for the
government II we could obtain informa-
