Senator Holds Corrupt Of
6cials" Responsible
For Veto.

Reed Smoot, chairman of the Sen
ate Committee on Printing. declared
yesterday that the President had
been duped by corrupt officials and
still more corrupt outside interests
into vetoing the legislative. execu-
tive and judicial appropriation bill.
Roger w. Babson was named as one
of the worst of these outside in
fuences.'
The section cited by the President
as the reason for vetoing the bill
provides that the Committee on
Printing be given general superyi-
sion over all government publica-
tions, in order to bring about CO.
ordination in government printing
and that the committee be empow-
cred to pass on the discontinuancs

There is no disposition among
Department of Justice officials to
allow Eugene v. Debs to be for
mally notified of his nomination as

night after Attorney General Pal

who urged that he grant amnesty
to all political prisoners, including
Debs. who is, serving a term at
Atlanta.

Superintendent McGlasson. of the

ground that Debs has no status as
a citizen. McGlasson said:
IF the matter is referred to me
I'll have to refuse the permit. And
IN doing SO I will be acting only by
precedent, for a Federal prisoner

LEADER FLAYED
BY REED FOR
PACT STAND
Senator from Missouri
Speaks Before Unrespon-
sive Audience.

Senator James A. Reed, Demo
cratic insurgent from Missouri. had
large but wholly unresponsive
audience yesterday afternoon for 4
bitter attack on President wI,son
because of the latter's condemna-
tion of Democratic Senators who
did not favor ratification of the
treaty OF Versailles as presented to
the Senate.
Nearly all of the galleries were
crowded when Mr.. Reed began
speaking. Senators observed from
the floor the attitude of the audi
ence toward the speaker and in a
short time were discussing it freely
as Mr.. Reed rose to his familiar
heights of eloquence. The visitors
were largely men and women at
tending the conference of the
Southern Baptist Church. The Who'll
ly undemonstrative reception by
them of the Senator's attack on the
ACSAuCht was ISkdEutu ny OluST
Senators as rejecting the sentiment
of the Democratic South as stand

Even though applause or other
demonstrations of approval or dis
approval by the galleries are pro-
hibited by the Senate rules. SEN
ators have come to know from the
silent manifestations by their audi
ences whether a speech is getting
over.
Mr.. Reed declared that all but six
Democratic Senators had voted for
one or more of the Lodge reserva-
tions at one time or another. Those
who voted for ratification, he de-
clared. ARE dishonored, damned and
disgraced."
Walking over to the Republican
side, Mr.. Reed told Senators seated
there that great financial interests
and the international banking cor
porations are trying to influence
viii H. Hays to adopt a halfway
plank on the treaty" "All sinister
influences" he said. ARE working.
l do not believe they will succeed,
The Republicans have heard from
too many States and Johnson has
received too great a popular indorse-
ment."

Senate Committee.

Herbert Hoover appeared in
Washington yesterday as an expert
adviser to Congress on two national
questions agitating the American
people-sugar and the industrial
situation -'sa,s.s.. = =
As Hoover the economic admin
istrator he told a House committee
how the Wilson administration had
bungled the sugar problem.
As. Hoover the authority on in
dustriaI problems he gave a Sem
ate committee advice as to means
of bringing about a better rela-
tionship between capital and labor
for the settlement of disputes with
out resort to strikes.
Legislation Not Cure-AH.
F At both hearings, Mr.. Hoover
stated his opposition to legislation
as a cure-alI for industrial and
economic ills. He opposed the use
of court injunctions or other forms
of legal repression in strikes be-
cause that made the Jail the means
of enforcement" He declared the
sugar problem should have been
handled as a commercial instead OF
a legal proposition.
In both instances Mr.. Hoover's
insistence upon the application of
ordinary business judgment to the
settlement of the two problems he
discussed constituted severe indict-
ments of A. Mitchell Palmer, Attor-
ney General
Between his appearances at both
ends of the Capitol, Mr.. Hoover
assumed the role of publisher and
inspected improvements being made
in the local newspaper plant of
which he is one of the owners.
Foresaw Sugar Situation.
The House Sugar Committee
learned how Mr.. Hoover had fore
seen the existing sugar situation
and urged the President to buy the
Cuban crop. He said the price al
lowed on the small crop of Louisi-
ana sugar by Mr.. Palmer never
should have been permitted to con-
troll the price of the whole quantity
consumed.
Mr.. Hoover told the Senate COM
mittee that the plan of the Presi-
dents second industrial conference,
of which he was a member, con-
stituted the best method of bring
ing capital and labor together for
settlement of their controversies,
the verdict of the jointly represen-
tative boards to be enforced by
public opinion. "the only. pressure
that can be safely applied"

us that Dempsey fought and whip,

A radio told us the nominations,
but outside of those two items We
are as up-to-date as Ramesis the I'd
/ think Cox is from Ohio and Hard
ing may be either the ersuwhile
governor of Iowa or a senator, but
I am not sure of either.
However, | note that Jimmie James

taken of the everyday life. Is Jimmy
