By Associated Fress

Washington, June 5u.--lne admlnlS- tration bill authorizing the Secre- tary of the Treasury to fund the all lied lomes was attacked in the Senate today by Senator Underwood. Ala bama. the democratic leader
 "So far as l know" said Under wood, this bill would confer the broadest power and the widest field of responsibility ever given to any official in the history of our govern ment."
 Senator Underwood said that Sec retary Melton, in asking broad pow CTS possibly wanted to make the United States the clearing house for European obligations"
 Senator Braudegee republican Con- necticut. interrupted to remark thaS he was not convinced that the broad powers asked were needed and Sem ator Underwood declared he would oppose granting such powers to any man.
 Senator Williams, democrat Mis- sissippi. declared that he favored giving the administration plenary power and holding it responsible. He said he would greatly prefer the bonds of some no debtor countries than those of the debtor nations.
 There are countries in Europe to- day of first or second power that are waverinE in the balance of solvency, said Williams. adding that he could not see how Greece would ever be able to pay her debts If she continued her present course.

Dublin June 3D.-Arthuf drltiltn' founder of the sim Fein organlza- tion. and Prof. John MacNeill, presi- dent of the Gaelic league, were re- leased from Mount Joy prison here this afternoon.

(The reason for the detention of Mr. Griffith and Professor MacNeill as given in q public dispatch of January last, was that the British government de- sired to ascertain their responsibility for the alleged employment of Irish republican funds in ambuscades and other operations involving the losing or the lives of the British troops.)
 In the recent elections to the Cls- ter Parliament under the home rule, botk MT. Griffith and Professor Mac Neill were elected to seats in tho Parliament.

By A.sociated rrr.s

 On the roll call however, only four votes were cast against confirmation. | These were by Senators Borah, John son and LaFollette, and Senator Wat son, democrat, Georgia. The final vote was 60 to 4. An agreement was reached not to make public the roll call.

 Demand Prompt Action
By Associated Press

Washington, June 3o.--Plans or Senate leaders to begin a series of threc-day recesses next week. pend- ing receipt of tariff legislation from the House were disrupted today by insistence Of advocates of soldier bonus, maternity and agricultural relief bills that such measures be dis posed of before the Senate temporarily stops work.

Another measure on which action will be pressed before any ad- journment or recess is taken is the Wtllis- Campbell anti medical beer bill.
 The length Of the proposed temper ary adjournment had not been de- termined tonight. but leaders add thc senate probably would not re- convene possibly until late 'n Au- gust or early in September, when the tariff bill would be ready.
 While negotiations for the extend ed stoppage of business was in prog ress. it was arranged that the Senate should recess from tomorrow eve- ming until Tuesday because of the .cNing holiday.

THOUSANDS LOSE RIGHT ID BALLOT
 THROUGH DECISION
Supreme Court Holds Amend ment Is Invalid Because Measure Was Not
 Properly Adopted
By FRED IT. GORMLEY


 Montgomery, June 30.-(SpeciaI) Sustaining again it's interpretation of Section 2si of the state constitu- tion, which nullified the s25, ,o00, ,O0O bond issue for road construction work early in the year, the supreme court of Alabama Thursday ren- dered decision in which it held that the voters of Alabama never legally ratified the constitutional amendment exempting soldiers. sailors and marines who served at least four months in the World war from the payment of poll taxes.
 The effect of the decision is so far reaching no person will venture uhat VIII he the result. The primary re- suit iS that thousands, probably 2O,Ooo ex-service men who did not pay their poll taxes last year in the belief that they were erempted .re now disqualified and cannot partici- pate In any future elections urtiI they have paid aIl poll taxes or until the voters have again ratified an amendment exempting them iron, this obligation. It Is possible that scores of persons who have been elected and appointed to political of- fices will he busted. though 1t cau- not he said now that the decistoa will automatically oust them. It may he separate action. must he main tained against each officc-hoider who did not pay his poll taxes.
 Among those whose right to hold office has become an issue since the decision is w. l.. Longshore. repub- lican judge of the Eighteenth cir cult, who was elected last November when he defeated the incumbent. Judge E J Garrison, danoeras. Judge Eongshore served in the wal and did not pay his poll taxes for two years, believing he was exempted by the amendment
 Follows Former Decision
 The decision of the supreme court caused no great disa ppointment as it did no more than follow the decision in the case in which the bond issue was involved. The decision was based on the same point, the risht of the legislature to delegate to the governor the duty of setting the date for the special elections at which tne poll tax amendment and the bond issue amendment were ratified. The supreme court held in the first case that the bond issue amendment did not become part of the constitution because the legislature did not ar- point the date. It followed this de- cision in holding that the poll tax amendment did not become a part of the constitution.
 There had been some hope that the court would reverse itself and would hold the poll tax amendment to be valid on the ground that the time had passed when the amendment could be attacked and that rights had accrued
