BERGER REFUSED
SEAT IN HOUSE
A SECOND TIME
TRepubIican A. p. Leased Wirel


WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-Victor
Berger, Milwaukee socialist, reelected
from the fifth Wisconsin congressional
district after he had been refused
membership in the house because he
gave aid and comfort 10 the enemy"
was denied his seat again today by q
vote of 32S to 6. The house acted in
a little more than an hour after Berger
presented himself to be sworn in.
Chairman Dallinger of the elections
committee, which held Berger ineligi-
BILE the first time, presented q reSolu-
ton barring Berger and reviewed the
reasons why Berger was excluded at
the special session. Representative
Mann, republican. Illinois: Noigt. re-
publican, Wisconsin, and Sherwood,
democrat Ohio, supported Berger's
right to a seat.
This is a representative form of
government" Mr.. Mann said, "and this
pie desire it. Berger was elected by
the people of Wisconsin. They have a
right to be represented"
Members of the house showed little
interest in news from Milwaukee that
the socialist executive committee had
voted to renominate Berger.
In presenting his resolution today
Chairman Dallinger said Berger was
ineligible to membership under provi-
sions of the constitution.
Request for hearing of Henry H.
Bodenstad's right to the seat denied
Berger has been made before Chairman
DaIlinger. Bodenstad. republican, was
defeated by Berger by majority of
1850 votes in the special election The
committee previously held Joseph i.
Carney, Berger's opponent in the first
election, to be Ineligible.
Chairman Dallinger said today that
at the time of his first election Berger
;,,d q
espionage act, but that he had been
convicted before the second election
took place. This. he added, would
strengthen Bodenstad's status.

REASON
FOR SUSPEND|NG

NEW YORK, Jan. 10.-The action of
the state assembly in suspending the
five socialist members was to deter
mine whether the organizations they
ploy tactics to bring about the over
throw of the government, Thaddeus c..
Sweet, speaker of the assembly, de-
clared in a letter to Charles E. Hughes,
made public tonight. 1t was in reply
to- the former governors letter con-
deanning the ousting of the socialist
assemblymen.
hold judgment, Speaker Sweet added,
until evidencer especting the socialist
party of America and other organiza-
tions had been presented to the judici
airy committee of the assembly, before
which the suspended socialists will be
'.impartially judged as to their
fright and fitness to take their
seats.
The suspension follows the recept
practice of congress, State Senator
Clayton r. Lusk, chairman of the joint
legislative committee investigating Sc
ditious activities, declared tonight.
The assembly's action amounts to a
challenge of the fitness to serve of the
socialists as individuals Senator
Lusk said The charges against them
were based on evidence presented be-
fore the joint legislative committee, he
added althoug hthe committee is not
the complainant nor party to the
hearings"
-The charge is that they, as indi-
viduals, personally stand for the over
throw OF the established state and ma
tional governments by force and VIC
lence." Senator Lusk said. Their af-
filiations with the socialist party, as
now organized, and the Rand school;
their attitude toward communism and

having a bearing on the question of
whether they individually are pledged
to the violent and revolutionary oyer
throw of our government"

Charges Before House

WASHINGTON Jan. 10 - Charges
made before a house war investigation
committee that lives of American SOL
diers were wasted in needless attacks
on armistice day. are denied in a let
ter from General Pershing. made pub
lie today by Representative Fuller of
Massachusetts. General Pershing said
the American forces were acting un-
der general instructions issued by
Marshal F'och to all allied commanders
on November g. 1918. and that orders
for attacks We're withdrawn as soon
possible after he was advised of
the signing of the armistice. He also
said statements that Americans troops
were ordered to the attack while
French divisions remained stationary,
were wholly erroneous"
The generals letter is dated No
vember 81, 1919, and is in reply to
charges contained in a letter to Mr..
Fuller from Captain G. K. Livermore,
of Winchester, Massachusetts. former
ly operations officer of the 18TH field
artillery brigade of the Ninty Second
(negro) division.
Mr.. Fuller explained that he made
the letter public in view of the state
ments recently made before the in
vestigating committee by Brig Cen
lery division of the 92nd division. about
which much of the controversy re-
garding armistice day losses, has CEN

False Rumors Caused Upset
For several days prior to November

one of these rumors even reached the
United states and that November

GOSSIP OF.
THE STREET

The election Of General Obregon,
as President Of Mexico, is generally
regarded in financial circles as the
biggest constructive event that mas
happened in that country in years.
Developments i'm our neighboring turbu-
lent republic have for some time been
financial men of this country and future
plans for further investments were
being laid, subject to the political moves:
1t is felt that General Obregon will
give all foreign companies doing business
in Mexico a square deal. The con-
trolling interests in the large oil com
panies have more faith in him than any
other Mexican statesman.
For the last four or five years, all the
American companies having property
interests in Mexico had rough road to
travel and were virtually unable to
carry out extensive development
schemes. This applied particularly to
those having properties in the interior.
Those near the coast lines while con-
siderably hampered on the one side by
the revolutionists, and blackmailing by
the powers to be on the other side,
managed to do, business under these
irritating handicaps.
It is now believed, with General
Obregon in the saddle, that many OF
the obstacles will be eliminated, as he
is, from all accounts, extremely anxious
to encourage full development of the
vast Mexican mineral resources. Quite
a number of the silver, copper and other
mines have been idle and much of the
property destroyed. 1t is understood
that a number of large American in
terests are ready to send corps OF

Speculation stln Discouraged

"In the early part Of the summer
had serious misgivings Of financial diff
culties this fall" said an official Of one
of the large untown trust companies
yesterday, In commenting on the money
situation; "but / am equally certain
now that we are going to get through
without any serious shakeup. 1t has
required some very skillful plotting to
dodge the rocks and shoal water, but
there Is every evidence that the reserve
board and the big banking interests
have the situation well in hand. Credit
imitation has been successfully checked,
and the banking institutions unques =
tionably are in a better position to sup
ply the needs of general business. That
Is to say. funds are more liquid for
what Is popularity called essential loans.
Speculation, however, in any form Is
still and will be for some time, dis
couraged.
"There Is little probability" he con
tinued, ''of any material easing OF
money rates until late in the fall; In
fact, there does not seem to be much
chance for easy rates until after the
turn Of the year. The per cent rate
for the new French loan Is an illumi-
| mating sign Of the tines

added, "the record of August failures Is
not pleasing. The casualties for the last

PEOPLE AGITATED

Berlin, July 16.-The secrecy with which the German government arranged tns ceremony of salutng the French flag aI the French embassy to atone for the pulling down of the French flag at the French embassy on Balstle Day is be- lieved to have saved Berlin from what would inevitably have developed into a serious popular outbreak. No one knew beforehand that the military salute was to take place, and the newspapers learned or 1t only just before going to press But in their abbreviated reports they presaged an outburst of editorial indgna- ton. This afternoon and evening tho Bariserplatz continued to be dotted with small groups of widely agitated civilians
 The French flag as sundown was stti floating from the French embassy which was protected by a special party of se- curity police.
 The foreign office tonight declined td say whether the French government was satisfied with the apology, the military salute which accompanied it and the dis missal of two officials supposed to have been guilty of interfering with French property.
