bers of the house that it was evident

consideration of the case and it was
said that he would not take il under
adyisement until it had come To him

partment. AT the state department it
was said delay of the secretary of labor
in rendering a decision after having

Officials Of the labor department de-
cLared that should the secretary of In
bor find o'Callaghan inadmissable to the
United states on immigration grounds.
It would not be necessary for the sec
retary to refer the waving OF passport
restrictions to the state department.
Should the secretary find the lord may

OF the labor department.
The state department decision, an
nounced Monday by Acting Secretary
Davis, brought forth the assertion by
labor department officials that juris-
diction in the case still rested exclu-
sivcly with the secretary Of labor. This
indicated a continuation of the con-
troyersy between the two departments
which has been more or less apparent
ever since the landing Of the Cork lord
mayor on American soil.
Hints Deportation.
Secretary Davis, in making his an
nouncement, said that he concurred in
the opinion of the solicitor Of his de-
partment, as forwarded to him Mon
day, that there was no reason to make
an exception in the case of O'Caliaghan
as regards admission without d pass
port. He said he was communicating
his decision to Secretary of Labor VII
son and added the intimation that his
acting under the war time
powers given the president TO regulate
the entry Of aliens. might recommend
that the department Of justice be call
ed upon to deport the Irish mayor.

that Secretary Wilson did not recog-
nize that the case Of O'CalI0ghan had

willing to pay an initial payment Of
800, it was there in black and
white.
The man wrote that he desired to
see the woman, and added that he
could read her character. He stated
that he wanted a wife to help him
conduct his restaurant, and intimat-
ed that he would admire especially
woman who could talk fast. The
Judge replied that he should have no
