PALMER WANTS
INVESTIGATION
LIQUOR RUN|OR
Illegal Withdrawal Of
Bonded Spirits During
Convention Charged.

Washington, Oct 1S.-Attorney Gen
eral Palmer Monday directed the United
States district attorney at San Fran
cisco TO make a full and complete in
yestigation'' of reports that 40 barrels
of whisky and gin were withdrawn from
bond at San Francisco for the enter
tainment of the delegates to the Demo
cratic national convention.
At the same time Mr.. Palmer in a
telegram to acting Mayor McLeran of
San Francisco called upon that official
either to produce the proof of or pub
licly retract statement attributed to
him that Mr.. Palmer knew all about the
whisky transaction at the time
Mr.. Palmer'S message to the acting
mayor was predcated upon special dis
patches from San Francisco appearing
in newspapers in Washington and other
cities. These dispatches said bad faith
as to the withdrawal of the whisky had
been disclosed by a grand jury investi-
cation.
Mr.. Palmer's telegram to Mayor Nc
Leran follows:
my attention has just been called
to an address from San Francisco that
forty barrels of whisky and gin were
withdrawn from bond on order of Will
liam C. Hasler, city health officer, os-
tensibly for use in the San Francisco
municipal hospital but actually for en-
tertainment of delegates to Democratic
national convention according to facts re-
vealed by grand jury investigation. The
dispatch further states as follows:
Acting Mayor Ralph McLeran de-
clared that Attorney General Palmer
who was attending the convention as a
delegate. knew all about the transac-
ton
"If you have been correctly quoted
I call upon you either to produce the
proof of your statement or publicly re-
tract it. I knew nothing about any Ii
quor being withdrawn in San Francisco,
by any persons withdrawing liquor 1t
was entirely without my knowledge or
authority If you have any faith or
information upon which the statement
was based you should furnish them inn
mediately to the United States attorney
whom l have directed to make full and
complete investigation Of this matter" ;"

Internal Conditions Not So Bad
as Reported, Declares Baron
AyeZzana.

Washington, Oct. 1S.-Before his de-
parture Monday night for Rome on leave
of absence, Baron Camille Romano
Avezzana, Italian ambassador, told The
Associated Press he was able to state
from official information that the Ameri-
can public had an erroneous impression
of the internal situation of Italy.
"The Italian press is partially respon-
sible for this" he said, giving too much
place to isolated occurrences, detail and
description of which was misleading to
the foreign press. Moderation was often
sacrificed to satisfy public curiosity.
1T would be untrue to say complica-
tions had never arisen, however, as in
the case of the recent troubles with
metal workers, all contentious had been
amicably settled by the foresight and in
teryention of the government.
'Socialistic movements have been evi-
dent, but they have never threatened the
state, and solutions have been arrived at
which solved intricate problems, the out
come being erection of a great barrier
against any menace of revolution.
