suit in q Sensation.

The statement coming from the ruined
Upmann banking firm Of Havana that
more than $1,2oo,ooo was spent for Eek
penses In Washington" while prosecut-
ing claim of the Upmann brothers
against the United States Government.
was characterized yesterday by Federal
officials. past and present, Republicans
and Democrats. as a clumsy effort TO ac-
count for very large sum that disap-
peared from the Upmann bank. but no.
in connection with the Upmann claim.
The prediction was made that the
banking authorities of Cuba, with prob
ably some help from well informed per-
sons in the United States. will be able
to trace the true dispersal of the miss
ing s1.2oo.o0o. and that the result will
show that the hands Of American Off
cials were entirely clean.
The man best informed Of the facts of
the Upmann claim from its inception
to the final decision TO restore property
that had been illegally seized by the
Government Is Adrian Fl. Larkin, who
as counsel for James p. McGovern OF
Washington, attorney for the Upmanns,
directed every phase OF the case.
Insinuations Again Denied.
Mr.. Larkin, who Is e. leader Of the
American bar, said to TIE NEW YoaK
HERAL4 yesterday:
"My attention is again called TO state
nnents or insinuations proceeding from
Washington. as we'll as Havana, that
officials Of the United States Govern
ment were connected in some improper
or dubious way with the decision to
restore Upmann's property. Such In
situations are absolutely damnable and
efforts should be made to trace the
source of them. Not one cent. much
less dollar, was improperly expended
In the Upmann case. I make that state
ment upon my personal and professional
honor.
ITO say that $1,000, 900 which seems
to have disappeared from the assets Of
the Upmann bank was dissipated in
Washington Is outrageously false. The
whole case was conducted with absolute
openness. I don't suppose that either
Francs F. Garvan or A. Mitchell Palmer
knew anything about the details. The
inquiry was conducted by Edwin A.
Jones, referee. He had to restore the
property because It had been seized IL
legally.
Bribery would have been wholly ur-
necessary in such a case. assuming that
anybody thought Of such a thing. 1t is
as despicable to throw mud at these
honorable officials as 1t was to connect
Senator Frelinghuysen's name with the
affair"

There have been signs and p~ortents. Last Thurs

wanted to argue things out with them. He did, and
when the party broke up there was perfect agreement
that there was no agreement
Game Saturday night, and there was another party
at which John 7. adams of Iowa, chairman Of the Re
publican national committee, was present. Admins
tration' leaders were on hand. It is probable that
what John 7. Adams and other spokesman said when
boiled down would amount to this:
Congress may have done the best it could, but that
best is not good enough and has not been placed in the
best possible light before the American voter who is
going to the polls next November.

so far, but congress is not.
Congress has no boss and IS lettering along the
highway picking daisies when it ought to be throwing

Therefore and wherefore, it seemed to be the sense
OF the little gathering that 1t was time for the presi-
dent to demand action on something. The decision
was reached that it might be best to make a test case
out of the allied war debt refunding bill and call for
a showdown on the part Of the folks on Capitol Hill
The argument can be used that the funding bill can
be tied up with soldier-bonus legislation and the ad-
ministration thereby get two birds with a.single stone.
"The president is likely to get his vote of conf
dence' on this. The farm bloc is not hunting trouble
in that direction so long as the bonus is not hooked up

However, if the president and party leadership
