FATHER WANTS
 DRIVER PUNISHED
Weeps As He Tells Coroner of His Boys
 Death.

The father of John Cleotura, the 12- year-old boy who was killed in the motorcycle accident at Madison and Capitol avenues a week ago Sunday, tea rfuuy told Coroner John J. Phelan this morning that something should be done to the driver of the jitney bus whom he thought was responsible for the death of his boy.
 The coroner taetfully told the be- reaved father that the testimony so far produced before him had shown that the driver of the jitney had not run into the motorcycle but that the motorcycle was travelling at such a high rate of speed that it was prob able that the driver lost control of the machine when he swerved to escape hitting the bus.
 John Scocco, who sat behind the driver of the motorcycle, testified that he first saw the jitney when it was about seven or ten feet away, and that he thought the jitney struck the side car and drove the motorcycle against the curb.
 He was thrown out and struck on his head and was so excited and be- wfldered that he could not tell exactly what did happen at the time.

 A decision in the three fight in Florida was first on the program. A special sub- committee composed of Committeeman Warren of Michigan, Dupont of Delaware, and Parsons of New York spent most of the night examining the law and the facts in the Florida case, and prepared a re- port on the claims of the contestants and possibly a recommendation for a course of action by the committee.
 The Florida case, in which the com mittee was called upon to decide whether there was, in legal effect, any Republican party in Florida, promis- ed in a sense to show the first indica- tions on the candida cies of Major General Leonard Wood. Governor Frank O. Ilowden and Senator Hiram Johnson.
 The Florida hearings were reopen ed to hear the regular delegation and that headed by H. l.. Anderson of Jacksonville. It appeared to be gen orally agreed that the contest of the third delegation headed by A. L. Church and w. l.. Vapduser of Jack sonville would not be permitted to participate in the rehearing.

SYMPATHY
 TOWARD ANARCHISTS
 WAS POSTS TROUBLE
Attorney Gen. Palmer Tells Committee Post Substituted Own Mis-. taken Personal Views For Obligations of Public Law.

Washington, June 1-(By the A. P.)-Charging that Louis F. Post, Assistant Secretary of Labor, had a perverted sym pathy" for the criminal anar- chist, Attorney General Palm CT told House Committee to- day that in dealing with at tempts of the government to rid the country of dangerous aliens MT. Post had employed a ''self willed and autocratic sub- stitution of his own mistaken personal viewpoint for the ob- legations of the public law"
 MT. Palmer was testifying before the rules committee which is investigat- ing the official conduct of MT. Post in deportation proceedings.
 Tt has become perfectly apparent the attorney general said, that Mr. Posts course in all the deportation proceedings has been dictated by his own personal view that the deporta- ton law is wrong, rather than by any desire or intention to carry out the
 law enacted by the congress. By his seif-willed and autocratic substitu- tion of his mistaken personal view point for the obligation of public law;
 by his habitually tender solicitude for social revolutionists and perverted sympathy for the criminal anarchists of the country, he. has consistently de- prived the people of their day in court in the enforcement of a law of vital importance to their peace and safety. By his wholesale jail deliveries and his release of even self-confeSsed- an arcI1ists of the worst type, he has ut i terly nullified the purpose of the con- gress in passing the deportation stat 1 ute and has set at large amongst the people the very public enemies whom it was the desire and intention of the congress to be rid of.
 He has defied the rules of evidence as laid down by our most responsible (Continued on Page Six)

ASKS FOR COAL
 ADMINISTRATOR

Boston, June 1-Governor Coolidge in a special message to the House to- day asked for authority to appoint a coal administrator and for an ap- propriation of $25,000 to defray the expenses of administration.
 The governor believes the shortage of coal in New England is due almost entirely to shipments to foreign countries.
 "Out of a million and three-quar- ters tons of coal at Hampton Roads during April,'' he said, in a state ment, "all but 800, or 400, tons was shipped abroad, notwithstanding that the pier at Hampton Roads was built for the specific purpose of handling coal for New England.'
 Until foreign shipments are stopped, he considers it highly necessary that such coal as can be obtained for New England be distributed equitably.

Our fight afterward was against an element in the Republican party rather than for any individual
 The witness refused to '-go into per- sonalities" when Senator Pomerene, Democrat, Ohio, asked for names of men constituting the alleged "coterie.'
 Your activities were rather against Senator Hardins's manager, then, than for General Wood?" asked Sen ator Pomerene.
 ~ Tt was against the crowd manag- ing Senator Harding's candidacy" MT.
