In continuation of the controversy

a challenge to Atotrney-General Palmer
yesterday afternoon to meet his charges
item by item ''instead of contenting
himself with characterizing them as
lurid and letting them go at that" 1t
was Mr.. Untermyer's third attack upon
the Attorney-General within five days,
and in it he referred to Mr.. Palmer's
now wihtered Presidential hopes as
"grotesque," and characterized his con-
duct at the beginning of the Lockwood
housing inquiry as "sullen and obstrep-
erous" and his assistance as "grudging
and inefficient"

charges, which he invites Mr.. Palmer
to answer. The charges include:
THAT he turned the administration OF
the office of the Alien Property Custo-
dian into political machine for the
furtherance of his own ambitions.
THAT not only was the enforcement
of the antitrust laws suspended through
out the war, as he himself is forced to
confess, but that since the armistice he
has persistently failed to enforce these
laws. although he asked and received
millions of dollars from Congress for
that express purpose.

newly elected from the Thirty eighth
district.
In several cities. he stated. like New

of the aliens.
my own State Of New York" said
Mr.. Hill. ALREADY has recognized the
propriety of this proposition by exclud-
ing aliens in the enumeration of the
population for the purpose of determine
ing representation in the lower House
of the New York State Legislature.
Because. of this New York city,
which has more than majority of the
representation Of New York State in
the national House of Representatives.,
largely controlled by Tammany, has
only n little more than 40 per cert of
the membership of the New York Legis-
lature.
1--WE must take our chances with the
way the people who are admitted to
citizenship will vote under the direc-
tion OF the kind of political organiza-
tions that exist in most large cities. but
no good reason can be advanced why
city political organizations like Tam
many should be allowed extra repre-
sentatives in Congress on the basis Of
alien population which is not only not
intelligent enough to qualify for citi-
zenship but much of which. according to
the Department of Justice, really seeks

FIND WILD MAN WITH WIFE

of whom strayed into the village of Lux
yesterday like pc ople from another age,
tonight are as much a mystery as when
they were first discovered.
Interest centres in the identity Of the
baby. Authorities feel certsin that she
is not the child of the couple, who, al
though in perfect health, show signs of
years of primitive living and constant
batting with the forces of nature. The
woman has lost an eye, which she de-
clares in rambling statements was
scratched out by wildcat.
When found the mans clothes were

IN tatters, the woman wore the scanty
remnants of a one garment house dress
and the baby was naked. They had been
driven out of their home, a shack on a
strip fland in an isolated section. by
high water. Parson maintains that he
owns the land and the shack.
The trio had lived principally upon
roots, Wild fruits and game which they
trapped, but there was evidence of an
effort to farm with the aid of a blind
horse which Parson said he had cap
tured.
Although the mans mind is said by
the authorities to be more nearly normal
than the woman's he is unable to account
for the child. The baby is perfectly
healthy.
Stories have been heard for years re-
garding wild man in the section, but
usually were discounted. The man says
he is ~. but looks older.

passed and instead of disarming the
most stupendous programmes for arnla-
ments ever known have been initiated
by at least four of the great allied and
associated Powers. France has an army
of nearly 100000; Japan has been in
creasing her military and naval powers;
the United States has let contracts Tor
sixteen battleships. which will cost un-
der present conditions $40,0O0.0Oo apiece,
other things accordingly. This pro-
gramme is going forward with rush
as if we were on the verge of great
war.
1T is true that after March we will
have a new Administration, but we will
not have a new world. The funda-
mental principles of this question of
disarmament will be precisely the same,
and this first step will have to be
taken.
.'Mr. Root says we should wait until
Mr.. Harding and his Secretary of State
inform themselves as to the best way TO
insure success. If this suggestion had
come from Mr.. Harding should have
felt very much like deferring. But
doubt if Mr.. Harding would wish to
say that he is going to appoint Secre-
tary of State who is not entirely famil-
lar with the situation SO far as the un-
derlying principles are concerned.
These nations will have to be brought
together some time, somebody will have
to make the move and we have already
made great headway in arousing public
sentiment in the respective nations to
force action in this matter.

II regret exceedingly that Mr.. Root
should throw his great influence against
the progress that is being made. If
Mr. Root thinks the way suggested by
this resolution Is not the best way, the
speediest way and the surest way to
go about this proposition, no one would
be more delighted than myself to have
suggestion from him as to how we should
go about it. l will accept any pro-
gramme and gladly support any pro-
gramme whoever may be the author
of it. which seems to be better and
speedier and wiser than the one pro-

Disarmament ought not to be de-
