Story of Raid on Labor Bureau
By House Committee Is Cunard

Especial Federated Press Wire. =
Washington. April 3.-Acting Sec
retary of Labor Post had not heard
today of the alleged night raid on
his office files by three members of
the house immigration committee,
led by Commissioner of Immigration
Caminetti. Nobody at the labor de-
partment had read the fake account
of it printed in New York Yesterday
"lf such q thing had been at
tempted under the leadership men
toned, the guinea population of the
United States would be reduced by
one this morning" is the way one
member of the department expressed
himself informally respecting the
canard.
New York has been reading its
April fool story, one day late," said
another.
Further questioning at Secretary
Posts office and at the house immi-
grafton committee brought out the
fact that three of the members Of
the committee did visit the labor de-

partment on Wednesday with a res
quest that they be allowed to ex-
anime the documents in the cases of
aliens who had been released by the
secretary of labor after their depor-.
tation was recommended by COM
missioner Caminetti. Secretary Post
supplied them with the papers aud
the delegation went it's way.
That kind of thing is normal
part of the intercourse between con-
gress and the executive departments.
There is no reason to suppose that
tho immigration committee Of the
house inspired the raid story printed
in New York.
The secretary Of the committee at
first confirmed the story when ques.
toned over the telephone yesterday,
but on hearing Secretary Posts
version, however, the committees
spokesman confessed that no coor-
cion had been employed and that
there was not the slightest objection
raised by Post to full examinations
OF the deportation records.

VOTE
SAID TO Be
LIGHT
Heavy Balloting Expected
Between 5 O'clock and
Closing Of the Polls at 8.
Results at 10.

Despite the tremendous interest
which has been evinCed in the school
election today, voting up to an early
hour this afternoon was said to be
exceptionally light at nearly all pre-
cincts heard from. 1t was expected
however, that the number of votes
cast this afternoon would be heavy,
with the heaviest vote polled between
o'clock and s O'Clock, when the
polls close.
Election officials stated today that
it was believed the results of today
election would be known by 10
O'Clock, since in some of the largest
precincts voting machines had been
installed.
No statements were issued by can
didates of either party today because
of the provisions of the corrupt prac-
tices act which prohibited such ac-
tion.

JURY ORDERS
BYRNE TO
HANG
Second Of Quartet Accused
of Prenatt Murder Found
Guilty and Sentenced to
Pay Supreme Penalty.

Unless Governor Stewart steps in
with communication of sentence, it
is probable that Steve Byrnes, one
of the quartet charged with the mur-
der of Sylvester Prenatt last winter
during an attempted robbery of the
Prenatt home in the belief that
liquor was stored there, will die at
the end of a hangman's rope some
time within the next few months
Byrnes was found guilty of first de-
gree murder by the jury in Judge
Lynch's court last night, which also
fixed hanging as the punishment.
Arguments of counsel in the case
were completed late yesterday after
noon after two days of testimony.
The jury informed the bailiff that
it had reached Il verdict in the case
at about $3.50 o'clock, but it was not
until nearly Z o'clock that the jury
men filed into their places and pre-
sented the court with their verdict
With stolidity that he had main
tanned throughout the trial and in
direct contrast to the attitude as
sumed by Tom Williams several
days ago when he was sentenced for
life Imprisonment for connection
with the same crime, Byrne's heard
the verdict sentencing him to a
felon's death without tremor. Even
when the words, death by hanging" "
We're pronounced by the deputy clerk
of the court Byrnes maintained his
composure, the only sign of emotion
being a faint smile which spread
over his features.
At the request of Deputy County
Attorney McDaniels, pronounce
ment of sentence, on Byrnes was
postponed until next Saturday, April
10.
