RADICAL ALIENS
 AIDED BY POST
Charges Against Assistant Secretary of Labor May Result in His Inn Official Prevented
 Their Deportation.

Washington, April l6.- Majority headers of the House decided to insti- tute an official investigation to deter. mine whether there is ground for the impeachment of Louis F Post of chi cago, assistant secretary of labor. on charges of shielding dangerous aliens from deportation
 A resolution providing for such in- vestigation with view to impeach. ment was introduced by Representa- tive Hoch of Kansas. but was with held from consideration at the request of Majority Leader Mondell, who im- mediateiy laid it before the Steering Committee. The Republican leaders who compose this body approved the resolution and had it referred to the Rules Committee, which is scheduled to bring in a special rule tomorrow for Its consideration.
 If the resolution is adopted by the House, the Judiciary Committee will investigate the charges. If the charges are substantiated, the Judiciary Con- mittee will ask the House to adopt an impeachment resolution. A trial of Mr. Post by the Senate would be the result of Impeachment by the House
 Friction Between Departments
 Involved in this affair is a row that has been developing for months be- tween the Departments of Labor and Justice over the deportation of aliens charged with conspiring 10 undermine the American government. Attorney General Palmer has executed whole sale raids upon the Communist party and other radical organizations com prisine large alien membership and has arrested more than 4,e00 foreign CTS, whom he has sought to have de ported
 The Department of Labor has exc cuted the deportation of several hun- dred, but has been accused of being dilatory and reluctant to act. Mir Post recently released a Baltimore alien on the ground that he had not actually become a member of the Communist party and said that this case is typical Of large proportion" of 1000 other cases he had passed upon in course of hearing the charges against aliens, preferred by the Department of Jus sice
 The inference was that 1000 of the S.000 aliens arrested in the last raid were being or would be released. I.
 This row bobbed up in the cabinet meeting yesterday when Mir. Palmer charged that the Communists and other radical alien influences have brought about the railroad strikes Secretary of Labor Wilson evinced considerable lack of sympathy with Mr. Palmer's attitude President Wil- son decreed that the administration should proceed vigorously against agi- tators seeking to overthrow the gov ernment, but must be careful to do no injustice to any individuals.

BILLS HANDICAP TOO HEAVY
OF Course He Couldn't Play Golf With
Such an Opponent and Such
Gallery.

Bill is Presbyterian by marriage.
Those of us who have heard him play
golf would never have guessed that he
had any such church connection what
ever. His language when he misses Q
shot (and he misses quite a number OF
times during an afternoon) is what
might be termed Of the explosive and
highly irreverent variety.
Bill appeared at the club the other
afternoon with friend whom he intro
duced as Rev. Mr.. Sanderson-accent-
ing the Reverend as though he were
afraid we were going to miss it and
treat him as one Of his ordinary COM
panions. Personally, it isn't necessary
to tip us off in advance that the
stranger Is a minister.
But Bill seemed to be afraid Of us,
although not quite so afraid as we
were of him.
You and the minister going to play
together| we asked.
"Yep," said he. "Join us?"
"You bet." said we. "If you and
minister can 60 1S holes and you
don't explode we want to see it."
Bill began gamely. His drive was
full Of slice and his iron shots were
mostly all turf, and he put on a stage
grin that was marvellous to behold.
Toward the middle Of the afternoon
he tried whistling. switching to hum;
ming, tackled silence and reverted to
plain grinning.
He dubbed shot on the twelfth
hole and said: "Good nightl'
"That isn't what you said when you
dubbed one here last Saturday." one
Of us remarked.
He missed putt for a win on the
fourteenth and whistled.
"First time we ever heard you whis-
tie after missing one," we casually re-
marked.
On the sixteenth he went to pieces
altogether. But he was game. He
made no apologies.
"That shot you just made used to
be good for quite string" we sug-
gested.
"Say," he finally shrieked, show
could anybody play golf with a couple
Of birds like you pecking at him all
day long7 You haven't given me a
minutes peace since the parson and I
began this game"
"Peace?" we exclaimed. ''Is it peace

Cars to BE Run BY Sugar Power.
Sugar as source Of alcohol for use
as motor fuel was predicted by Ad-
miral Dumas at the Imperial motor
transport conference, held at Olympia,
London.
He looked forward, he said, to sugar
being a by-product Of coal and alcohol
becoming the main product. Similarly
with wine. He hoped to see wine the
by-product and alcohol the main prod
uct.
The admiral added that he welcomed
the "Pussyfoot" campaign, as 1t might
set free sources Of alcohol now wasted
in wines and spirits.

The 8addueeea.

Sadducees and Pharisees were the
names Of two powerful but antagonis-
tic parties In the Jewish church, and
in Jewish society at the time Of Our
Lords earthly ministry. They DIFF.
fered radically respecting what may
be called politics. and respecting GER
tain religious beliefs. The Phariseea
were the national party, adhering with
all possible strictness to Jewish ira
ditions, and labored necessarily to keep
alive the national spirit, although
their country was conquered part
Of the Roman empire. In politics the
Sadducees were trimmers, adjusting
their practices to prevailing conditions.
They were the priestly-aristOcratfc
party, who allied themselves always
with the ruling power, even when that
power was anti-national in it's aims.
In Our Lords time the name indi-
Gated differences which were religious
as well as political. The Sadducees
may broadly be described as ration
alists, the Pharisees as ritualists. The
radical difference as regards faith that
is brought out clearly in the Gospels,
is this: The Pharisees believed in
the doctrine of the resurrection Of the
dead; the Sadducees did not.

It was nine-thirty when reached
home. 1t had been arranged that Bar
bara about ten would signal me that
we might have a chat from our re-
spective windows. AS I sat In my
room waiting for the time to come,
was reviewing the case In all its as
poets. Indeed there was hardly wax
ing moment that was not, thinking of
the many mysteries about US. ! was
wondering If, when the case was
cleared up the mysterious whispers
that we all had heard would also be
explained. recalled Claire Brad
ford's unexpected visit to my apart
ment the evening before and her con-
fusion when had captured her. I
wondered II the explanations she had
offered had been the truth. Was she
really trying to locate the source of
the whispers? looked interestedly
up at the section of the wall that l
had found her inspecting. What had
she hoped to discover there?
decided to make a close inspec-
ton of both sides of the wall. AS
lighted up the sitting room and hall
for this purpose. something unusual
came to my notice that had hitherto
escaped me enturely.
THE INNER WALL OF MY ROOM
the one running along the hall Of
the apartment-HAD THE APPEAR
ANCE OF BEING AT LEAST FOUR
FEET THICK.
It seemed so absurd that refused
to believe the evidence my eyes had
given me. In these modern days of
steel construction there was no reason
for wall being>of medieval proper
tions. sprang to my great.aunts
work basket and began rummaging to
see II could find a tape measure,
and luckily my search was quickly re-
warded.
I sketched a rough diagram Of the
rear rooms, and began measuring
them of. carefully checking my figures
as went along. found myself grow
ing wildly excited as the tape meas
ure confirmed what my eyes already
had told me. The inner wall was at
least four feet thick.
With thrills at the thought Of the
possibility Of secret passage there,
climbed up on chair Just as Claire
Bradford had done, and began in
specting the wall inch BY inch. Even

Tho Eirst Bicycle.

The first man in England to make
a bicycle was James PlOwright, who
died in September last. He copied
the first "boneshaker' brought over
from France. Mr.. Plowright's first
bicycle was built entirely Of iron, with
Gathering iron wheels, but later he in
troduced iron-shod wooden wheels.
Subsequently he made the tall ordi-
nary. The actual inventor Of pedals
to propel the front wheels of bicycle
was NJ. Michaux, of Paris, who in
vented the bicycle proper in 1866, 1S
years after Mr.. Plowright was born.
1t was imported into England in 1868,
and it was apparently this bicycle that
Mr.. Plowright copied. James Starley.
a Sussex mechanic, was the man who
converted the old-fashioned "bOne-
shaker into the modern bicycle and
tricycle..

as l did so I could not help laughing
at myself. The idea that modern
apartment building might contain a
secret passage was utterly ridiculous,
yet as I pounded lightly on the wall
it gave forth hollow sound, vastly
different from any other part Of the
room. was convinced that between
enough at least for a passageway in
which a man might walk.
surveyed with growing interest the
wooden paneling that in my room ran
clear up to the ceiling. In the other
rooms there was no paneling. Mount
ing the chair again l pressed sharply
against the wood at the point from
which the sound had seemed to come.
1t seemed to me 1t gave little to my
touch. I struck one Of the sections
sharp blow. 1t dropped back full
half-inch. leaving what looked like a
doorway space three feet wide by
five feet high. The bottom Of the
opening was hardly two feet from the
floor. If there was passageway
here, this panel certainly would ex-
plain how my rooms had been surrep-
titiously visited.
Feverishly worked at the panel try
ing to push 1t further back. II there
was passageway there in the wall
was determined to see whittier 1t led.
My efforts to move the panel further
seemed hopeless. AS worked at 1t
heard tapping on my window sill.
1t must be Barbara. In my excite

about the time. I sprang from the
chair and rushed to the window.
