Outside of Law
IMMUNITY TO PLANTERS
Course Taken with Louisiana Cane
Planters Resulted In Excessive
Profits.

Washington, June 3.--The sugar
investigating committee in a majority
report presented to the House yester-
day declared that Atty. Gen. Palmer
had used his power as chief prosecut-
ling officer Of the Government for the
purpose Of fixing maximum selling
prices of sugar in Louisiana and in so
doing acted wholly without authority
of law and in violation of his own con-
Istruction Of his official duty"
The report, prepared by Rep. Hustled
(Rep) of New York, as chairman,
charged that the legalistic method
adopted by the Attorney General was
wholly ineffective as a means of price
control" and that sit gave apparent
government sanction to extremely
high sugar prices, which excited the
Icupidity of Cuban producers and caus-
ed an advance in the Cuban market"
Reps. Whaley of South Carolina and
Summers of Texas, Democratic mem
bers of the judiciary sum committee
which conducted the investigation, re-
fused TO sign the report and announc-
ed that they would file minority re-
port.
Mr.. Palmer insisted before the COM
mittee that he had not fixed sugar
prices, but had merely stated the posi-
tion of the department as to prosecu-
tion tor profiteering THAT Louisiana
planters selling at more than IL and
is cents wholesale would be prosecut-
ed under the Lever law.

PALMER'S SHARP RETORT

Washington, June "A startling
description of lawlessness in Fennsyl-
yania, alleged to be with the conniv-
ance of the Department Of Justice and
Federal authorities generally, was
given today before the Senate com
mittee investigating Presidential cam
paign funds. Judge Eugene C, Bonni-
we'll of the Municipal Court of Phila-
delphia made the charges, which were
particularly concerned with the fail
ure to enforce prohibition and which
charged that this laxity was part Of
The campaign programme of Attorney
General Palmer.
When the committee placed Judge
Bonniwell on the stand 1t was brought
out that he is the leader of the anti
Palmer faction of the Pennsylvania
Democrats was the party candidate for
Governor in 1918, and is leader Of the
opposition to the Palmer for President
delegation to San Francisco.
Judge Bonniwell explained that he
was himself a candidate in the pri-
mary for National Committeeman and
the identification of his candidacy
with the name of McAdoo helped him.
"In Philadelphia they had minimum
of $40 for workers on primary day in
every division of the city; there are
more than 1000 divisions. 1t has been
estimated to me by people in the fight
that the Palmer campaign in the State
must have cost from 100000 TO $780,
600 Robert S. Bright issued a gener-
al letter soliciting Palmer funds and
another letter was sent 10 all Federal
office holders for contributions.
