1t was only the impulsive, CHEEKY,
warning exclamation of wild young
Irish spirit to his friend Dyck CAL
houn, but it had behind it the humor
and incongruity of Irish life.
The man, Dyck Calhoun, after whom
were sent the daring words about the
sessions and the assizes, was a year
or two older than his friend, and, as
Michael Clones his servant and
friend, said. ''the worst and best
scamp of them ADJUST up to any

1nterrogations of committee men,

not favor the impeachment of Judge
Lands. they feed a bad precedent
was being set in permitting him to

Judge Lands might go unchal-

CONSPIRACY LAID
TO Pine DEALERS
Government Starts. Action
Against Southern Lum-
Der Men.

Charging q conspiracy in restraint
of interstate trade and commerce
in yellow pine, the government has
Instituted action against the South
ern Pima Association, under the
Sherman antitrust act. in the Dis
trict Court of the United States at
Missouri. it was announced at tho
Department of Justice Monday.
The petition names sixty-one COM
paniss and sixty-nine of their Of
ficers as individual defendants.
With twenty-four of the defend
ants each producing more than g.
100000 feet of pine lumber annu-
ally, the association has succeeded
in dominating the industry, accord
ing to the petition.
The governments allegations go
back as far as 1904. when the de-
PENDANTS are said to have manipu-
lated a one-third curtailment of
production, which brought them an
additional profit of $6.3oo,o0o.
Continuously thereafter the de-
PENDANTS combined and conspired
together to increase the prices of
yellow pine lumber by curtailing
and restricting the amount pro-
duced in Arkansas. Oklahoma,
Texas. Louisiana, Mississippi and
Alabama, sold and shipped into
other States" the petition sets out.
One method of manipulating
prices, 1t Is alleged, was to force all
producers to adopt as a basis of cost
of production "stumpage values
representing an assumed present
value of standing timber. irrespec-
tive OF the actual cost of such tim
ber, inflated to correspond to the
Increased prices to be secured for
the lumber produced therefrom."

FRAU BERNSTORFE.
SUES TO RECOVER
SEIZED PROPERTY
Ex-Envoy's Wife Bases
Claim on American Birth
And Citizenship.

Countess Jeanne Bernstorff. wife
of Count Johann Won Bernstorn,
former German Ambassador. daugh-
ter Of Edward Luckemeyer, q for
mer wealthy New York merchant.
fied suit Monday in the District
Supreme Court against Francis y.
Garvan, Alien Property Custodian,
for the return of nearly s1,0eo.0oo
in cash. stocks and bonds. which she
claims are unlawfully detained un-
der the trading with the enemy act.
This property was. a. the time Of
its seizure as enemy-owned prop
erty. In the custody of the banking
firm Of ]. p. Morgan & Co.. the
countess claims. She sets forth In
the petition filed by Attorney Arlen
G. Swiger, Of New York. that she
did not acquire any of this property
either directly or Indirectly from
any citizen or subject of Germany or
Austria On the other hand. she as
serts, she inherited all of IL from
her father under that provision OF
his will, In which Luckemeyer be-
queathed half of his estate, valued
at more than $2.500, 900, to her moth
er and the other half to her.
Mr.. Swiser included in the petit
tion the birth certificate of the
countess, showing her American
birth, also a copy of the will of Ed
ward Luckemeyer and a photo
graphic copy of a passport issued
to him by the State Department IN
1883 on the occasion Of his visit to
his ancestral home in Germany.
The countess, who gives her pres
ent residence as Starnburg, Upper
Bavaria, but who Is sojourning In
Berlin, claims that her father was
an American citizen at the time OF
her birth, therefore eliminating her
entirely from the alien class.
The list OF stocks and bonds in
cluded in the petition shows that
Luckemeyer invested his fortune
heavily in bonds of American rail-
roads and Industrial concerns.
The countess asks that the Alien
Property Custodian give a full and
complete account of these proper
ties and also that he explain the
why and wherefore of the seizure.
No mention is made OF any treaty
tending to forbid the seizure of
personal property of an ambassador
Of a foreign country or that be-
longing to his family.

Drifts in Record Short
Time, officials Say.

NEW YORK, Feb. ,22.-Twenty
thousand men. aided by tractors,
motor truck plows and the small
but potent shovel yesterday shook
the 12-inch covering of snow from
large section of New York city's
principal business and residential
sections The suburbs and less set
tied parts Of the city are still
showed under but are hourly
emerging more and more.
There were several deaths from
overexertion in walking through
drifts yesterday in New York and
nearby places. These brought the
number of deaths resulting directly
or Indirectly from the storm to
twelve.
Rails Cleared.
The arteries of communication.
railways. subway elevated and
street lines are clear almost every
where. The opinion seemed to pre-
vail everywhere. from the whole
sale food district to the Fifth ave-
nue. residential section. and from
Brooklyn to the Bronx. that the
storm which dumped foot Of snow
on the entire city in so short a time
did not create the only record.
Never, citizens declared. has New
York dug itself out quite so rapidly
before.
Street Cleaning Commissioner
John p. Leo gave much praise to the
work of the tractors. The fact that
the labor situation is not nearly so
tight, was given as a reason for the
speedy attack on the snow.
