a dashN of oratory and was continued
for hours with considerable fury.
There were arguments. charges and
counter-charges.
A sub committee, headed by Charles
L. Warren of Detroit, was appointed
to make report on claims.
The three eornered fight In Florida

PALMER FLAYS
POST FOR ACTS
Attorney General Declares AS
sistant Labor Secretary Sc
cretly Aided Radicals.

Washington, June Charging that
Lcu:s F. Pa st. assistant secretary oi
labor had a perverted sympathy" for
the criminal anarchist, Attorney Gen.
eral Palmer told house committee to-
day that in dealing with attempts
Of the government to rid the country
OF dangerous aliens Mr.. Post had en-
ployed "self-willed and autocratic
substitution of his own mistaken per-
sonal view point for the obligations of
the public law
Mr.. Palmer was testifying before
the rules committee which is investi-
eating the official conduct of Mr.. Post
in deportation proceedings.
1t 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 deportation
law is wrong, rather than by any de-
sire or intention to carry out the law
as enacted by the congress. BY his
self-willed and autocratic substitution
OF his mistaken personal viewpoint for
the obligation OF public law: by his
habitually tender solicitude for social
revolutionists and perverted sympathy
for the criminal anarchists of the coun-
try he has consistently deprived the
people of their day in court in the
enforcement of a law of vital impor-
tance to their peace and safety. By
his wholesale Jail deliveries and his
release Of even self-confessed anar-
chists of the worst type, he has utter
ly nullified the purpose of the con-
gress in passing the deportation statue
and has set at large amongst the peo-
pie the very public enemies whom it
was the desire and intention of the
congress to be rid of.
He has defied the rules of evil
dence gathered, has cancelled hun
dreds of legal warrants issued by his
entirely without justifi-
cation and in face of the facts has
flouted the judgement of a committee
of the senate which has investigated
one of the cases before him, has shown
constant favors to yiolators of the law
and their attorneys refusing even COM
mon courtesy to the department of
Justice, which is charged with the duty
Of enforcing the laws and, in order to
distract public attention from his
obvious failure to perform his own,
duty, has showered upon the depart
ment of justice mass Of charges of
misconduct in the hope that he could
put this law enforcing department of
the government on the defensive I'M
the place of these criminal enemies
Of the country from whose activities
our department has sought to protect
the government and the people"
Mr.. Palmer said he had hoped 1T
might never be necessary to indulge in
any criticism of another government
official but that outrageous false
hoods laid before the committee by
Mr.. Post, when the opportunity has
presented itself in an official way toi
Gender a service to those who advocate
force and violence. should employ I'll

pathetic with that sort of thing.

Hoover, In Telegram to Barnes
In 1919, Advised Joint
Purchase Cuban Crop.
FORESAW HIGH PRICES
Food Administrator Suggested
Means to Prevent Specula-
ti0n and Profiteering.

Washington. June Copy Of a
cablegrams sent from Paris July 23
1919 by Herbert Hoover to Julius H
Barnes, president of the United States
Grain Corporation for transmittal e
President Wilson declaring that "de-
termination of the sugar policies re-
quires immediate consideration" wa.
made pubic in the house today bv Rep
irresentative Tink h m, republican
Massachusetts,.
The cablegram was read by Mr.,
Tinkham in the course of a speech in
which he charged that responsibility
for the high price of sugar was placed
squarely on the shoulders OF 2resi-
dent Wilson" The Massachusetts, rep
resentative declared that the president
could relieve the situation even now
by following Mr.. Hoover's advice and
rationing nom essential consumers
Mr.. Hoover said in his message to
Mr.. Barnes, as read by Mr.. Tinkhsm,
that it was necessary to make impor-
tant restrictions as to sugar contro! in
this country in order to anticipating
the market of new beet sugar harv-
est and to settle the policy with Cuba
for the next year.
"Any continuation Of control will re-
quire action by congress- Mr.. Hoover
said, 'and it must embrace appropria-
tions, the continuation Of power and
embargo, control of speculation, profi-
teering and distribution" The only
alternative course to any action of the
above character is for the sugar
equalization board to Announce its
cessation of control at an early date
prior to the marketing season of do
mestic beet and cane sugars and to
dispose of the remaining stocks from
the old crop purchased by them at the
market prices from day to day until
they are exhausted
Referring to his recommendation in
Jointly with the allies, which was done,
Mr.. Hoover said, at the time his cable
gram was sent. the United States was
the "only large nation possessing lib
eral supplies for the entire year and
at a saving of four cents under the
world price, Decision must now be
made" he added, "as to whether con-
gress should be recommended to legis-
late authority for the continuation of
these measures over the year 1920 pro-
viding again for purchase of the Cuban
crop and the control of domestic pro-
duction. stabilization of price and dis
tribution. The intrinsic situation is by
no means clear as to the prospect of
supplies and 1t is argued by many that
there will be continued shortage
over the year 1920 with attendant
speculation and profiteering unless ac-
tion Is taken.'
Mr.. Tinkham, author Of the resoiu-
tion for the sugar investigation de-
clared that Mr.. Hoover's warning was
reinforced by a request from the sugar
board, ''for executive approval and
purchase OF the Cuban crop" and that
both warnings were unheeded by the j
White House."

LEADERS POSITIVE
LEGISLATURE WILL
RATIFY SUFFRAGE
Ants Seek An Adjournment
Until Monday Morning.

Charleston. w. Va, Feb. 2S.-Lead-
ers In favor of the ratification OF the
federal suffrage amendment in both
senate and house of delegates of the
West Virginia Legislature last even
ing made positive claims of sufficient
votes to adopt the resolution when
the house met at 10 o'clock this morn
ing and the senate at 2 this after
noon.
In the senate 1t was claimed that
Duty, Stats, Dodson, Polling. Coalter.
Sanders, Fox. Morton. Sinsel, Stew
art, Harmer, Johnson and Cobun are
certain to vote for ratification, with
Chapman and Kump very probable
supporters. On tho other hand, the
leaders against ratification claimed
only eleven certain votes in Hough,
Burgess, Hunter Frazier, Luther, Ar
nold, York Scherr, Gribble, Hartman
and Burr
Senator Lewis also is said to be
opposed to ratification, but if the
question comes to vote today he
will still be absent, being kept at
home by serious illness in his fam
lily. 1t was for this reason that
Senator Gribble sought to have an
adjournment taken until Monday.
Besides those named above, Sen
ator Grlbble said last evening they
felt fairly sure that Senators Chap.
man and Coalter and possibly Ven
Gill will vote against ratification,
but Senator Coalten who Is a candi-
date for denomination, has openly
endorsed suffrage, and Senator
Chapman had not indicated which
way he will vote.
The suffrage leaders in the house
of delegates claimed they had the
absolute promise OF 46 votes. and
said they were gaining new support
every hour. The As members, they
said, would vote for the resolution.
