 The statement by Chairman Cum mings said:
 If MT. Bryan had read by speech on the occasion referred to he would not have made the comments attrib- uted to him. If he complains l at tended an inaugural dinner to'a Dem- ocratic governor of a great state, par ticipated in by both Democrats and Republicans, his comments are with out merit, whether that governor fla vored or opposed the adoption of the 18th amendment If I am criticised for participating in a so-called "Ed- wards for president" movement that statement also is without foundation My position in regard to presiden- tial candidates is one of impartial neutrality. do not forfeit that po- sition by participating in functions in honor of Democrats who have been mentioned for the presidency

 SIBERIA HALT Slow Down Advance to East But Make Progress to
 the South

LONDON, Jan. 22.-The position of Gen. Denikine. anti-Rolshevik leader in southern Russia, to all appear ances is somewhat better, according to the war office summary of the sit nation. The inevitable pause which must follow any long and rapid of fensive such as haze been conducted by the Bolshevik in southern Rus sia, has occurred.
 Much depends upon the support af- forded Denikine by the population at his rear. Latest reports seem to in dicate that he still commands their full confidence and loyalty How ever, his losses of materials in the recent retreat are bound to have a grave effect on future operations. The imminent danger to their country has causd both the Don and Kuban CoSSacks to rally whole-heartedly around the government and afford full support to Denikine.
 The Bolshevik advance in Siberia appears to have slowed down. The allied commissioner has received a message from Admiral Kolchak at Mini Udinsk, stating that he is re maining there with the ministers of his suite, whose fate he intends to share. In west Russia, the Let's, since the opening of their offensive on January 4, have retaken a stretch of their own country about 40 miles in depth and captured 13,000 prison CTS and considerable material. Sixty miles of Lettish territory still re- mains in BolshevIk hands.

COUNSEL CLASH AT HEARING IN
 ALBANY HOUSE
Attorney for Five Accused Assemblymen Threatens
 a "Walkout"

ALBANY, N Y, Jan. 22-There were tense moments today at the trial of the five suspended Socialist assemblymen charged with disloyalty when it seemed that defendants and counsel would walk out" on the as- sembly judiciary committee.
 This came when committee counsel proposed to call on witnesses to pro- duee books, documents and papers to mark them for identification and to leave them with the committee for examination with the idea that they later might be introduced in evidence.
 Morris Hillquit. chief defense coun- sel objected Louis M. Martin, com mit-ee chairman denied the objection. Assemblymen Evans and Bloch. com mittee members, dissented from the ruling. Then Mir Hillquit turning to the witness on the stand, Mrs. Anna Stern. executive secretary of the So- cialist Bronx local, said:
 lou are .HOJ DOullu lO pat "l'h possession of your book unless it is offered in evidence.
 "The statement of counsel, so often made, that the committee is law un- to itself, that the assemblymen un- der charges are here by courtesy or favor-with that statement as prop osition of force, I am not finding any fault But I want to have it under stood that we do not wish to appear here on sufferance or courtesy or by favor We are either here with all the right of counsel in any court or justice, or we do not propose to be here"
 The threatened walk out" was averted when Judge Arthur k. Suth- erland, speaking for the committees counsel. yielded to the suggestion of Mir. Hillquit, that the documents be marked for Identification, but return ed to their owners.
 After MT Hillquit had recalled that the committee had promised a fair trial, Assemblyman Bloch said he ob- jected to that remainder" and he be lieved that the statement lis only made to create an impression with the press that you are not getting a fair trial"
