Owen Plays the Graham SeditiOn
 Bill in Address

Washington, Jan. 21.-Thc Ora ham anti-sedition bill. pending in the house, was attacked by Senator Owen, democrat of Oklahoma, in an address here tonight before the National Popular Government Lea gue, of which he is president. Sena- tor Owen said the measure extended governmental power beyond all req sonable inhibitions, violated the spirit of the constitution, and placed in the office of the postmaster gem eral powers which should not be intrusted to any bureau clerk"
 "Su1h arbitrary power would as suredly be abused" said Senator Owen, land liberty of speech be un- der an ever dangerous menace. 1 have too much faith in the common sense and patriotism of some 1l0,000,000 of American people to believe that either their opinions about their government or their government it self can be 'overthroWn' by a hand ful feXtreme theorists.
 q am unwilling under the guise of curbing this handful of agitators to destroy the established liberties of the American people to discuss their constitutions and laws, and criticize the government and elected and appointed servants With no fear of penitentiaries, arrests, fines and cruel and unusual punishment hang ing over them.
 Ninety percent of talk about the danger of bolshevik revolution in this country is nonsense. It is high time to discount history and return to normal thinking. Moreover, believe the time has come to liber- ate mere political prisoners as all European nations have done."

Carpenter Will
 Visit the U. s. in
 February, Belief

New York, Jan. 21.-Private ad- vices from France indicate that Georges Carpenter, European heavy weight champion, will arrive in this country about the middle of Febru- ary. The French pugilist, challen- ger for the worlds title, now held by Jack Dempsey, will come to the United States to fulfill contract entirely outside his ring activities, but there is understood to be no obligation in this contract which would prohibit him from engaging in either exhibition or limited round boxing contests.
 While Carpenters manager, Des- camps, refuses to divulge the actual conditions of the contract, various promoters take it for granted that the French fighter will be permitted to engage in some form of restrict ed ring activities and there is cer- tain to be wild scramble for his services. In view of his early arri- val it is unlikely Carpenter will sign for a championship bout with Dempsey until he reaches America.
