BRITISH WAR "vET"
C00LS OFF BEFORE
REACHING CAPITAL

WASHINGTON, May alexander
E. Robertson, British war veteran, did
not press his case before British en-
bassy officials today with the ardor
with which he is reported to have
pressed his suit for the hand of Miss
Mary Culberson, 81 year old daughter
of Senator Culbersan, of Texas.
The British veteran was reported to
have arrived in Washington on an
early train from Newark, N. J., pre-
pared to lay before the embassy his
charges that as an outgrowth of the
romance involving the Texas senator's
daughter, private detectives had kid
mapped him and attempted to railroad
him out of the country
Up to noon, however, he had not put
in his appearance at the embassy and
nothing of him.
Officials at the embassy, who were
plainly inclined to suspend judgment
in the matter until they had heard
Robertson's statement, indicated that
any action the embassy might take
would depend on the information and
evidence then submitted Robertson
found no escort for him on his arrival
here as he announced he had request
ed in telegram to the embassy from
Newark yesterday. Embassy officials
said no such request had been receiv.
ed and intimated they believed the
veterans fears of molestation were
groundless.
Senator Culberson, who continued
to maintain a strict silence regarding
the entire affair yesterday later in the
day was said to have indicated that
he might make a formal statement
about it today. Miss Culberson as to
whose whereabout there has been
some mystery since the matter was
first given publicity, was understood tc
be at the home of her parents here
today.

lerand this afternoon at a cabinet
meeting after his return from his long

tente intact, without sacrificing any
further in reparations or in conces
Sions to Russia.

CHILD ADVISES EUROPE
us. STAND UNCHANGED
ON RUSS CONCESSIONS
(By Associated Press)

GENOA, May 9-The principal Eu-
ropean delegations here have been
given unmistakable hints by the
American ambassador, Richard Wash
burn Child, that the United States
maintains its consistent standpoint re-
garding any private or general ar
rangement for commercial and indus
trial privileges in Russia and that no
such arrangements can be recognized
by the United States, says Henry
Wickham Steed, editor of the Times
of L )ndon.
He adds that whatever agreement
has been or may be made must be af
fected by the American attitude, un.
less and until equality of industrial op
portunity in Russia is assured on
principles and by means which the
United States can recognize.
The correspondent understands thai
minor British oil interests in South
Russia have suggested to the British
delegation the expediency of establish
ing a special petroleum council along
side the Genoa conference and says
that, were such a council to be con
stituted, and were it to include the
leading companies, its proceedings
might speedily eclipse those of the
main conference.
AS regards the Standard Oil com
pany the correspondent says its dis
tinct status in the Russian oil nego
tiations, certainly gives point" Il
the support lent by the United States
to the French and Belgian attitude re
garding private property in Russia

RIGHT OF CABINET
OFFICERS TO SPEAK
IN HOUSE DISCUSSED
PALLADIUM NEWS BUREAU

WASHINGTON, May Govern
ment officials are much interested in
the opinions expressed by Attorney
General Daugherty that cabinet Off
GERS should have the privilege of
speaking on the floor of the senate.
By inference, it may be supposed he
would also favor their having the
privilege of participating in the de-
bate on the floor of the house.
Mr. Daugherty's expression of opin-
ion followed a recent attack made up
on him by Senator Caraway of Arkan-
sas. The attorney general would have
welcomed the opportunity of making
a reply to the charges in the same
forum. Incidentally, he is not the
first cabinet officer who has advocat-
ed the plan of permitting the heads
of the executive departments to be
heard in congress.
It is doubtful, however, If congress
will give immediate consideration to
any proposal according the privi-
Iege of the floors of the two houses
to cabinet officers. Occasionally such
a plan is urged by some members Of
congress, but they base their advocacy
of il not so much to permit cabinet
officers to reply to attacks made upon
them during congressional debates
| but to permit cabinet officers to give.
! first hand, the fullest information pos
/ sible concerning their departments,
avoiding the indirect method of tes-
| tifying before congressional commit
| tees; to bring about a more cordial
understanding between the executive
and legislative branches of the gov
ernment; in fact, to expedite the
/ transaction of public business.
Speaks From Floor.
In the early days of the republic
cabinet officers at times spoke from
! the floors of congress. The annals
of the first congress show that "the
| secretary of foreign affairs, Mr.. Jef
! ferson," on July %, 1889, ATTENDED
agreeably to order and made the nee
essary explanations" and that on
! August %, 1889, General Knox. sec
retary of war, appeared in the senate
and delivered message on behall
of the president.
President Washington inaugurated
the custom of appearing before a
joint session of the congress and de
livering a message in person. He die
not continue it for any length Of
time. 1t is said that he once became
incensed at the treatment he was &C
corded while addressing congress and
left the floor vowing that he would
not return He kept his VOW. No
until Woodrow Wilson became presi

HOPE FOR SOLUTION
lRy Associated Press,

WASHINGTON, May "A discus
sion of the Russian problem as it is
affected by the negotiations at Genoa
occurred most of today's session of the
cabinet
1t developed an opinion that the at
titude of the allied governments to
wards the soviet regime had shaped
up at Genoa in virtual agreement with
the policies of the United States.
After the cabinet meeting it was
said by administration officials that
there had been general agreement
among the cabinet members that the
work now proceeding at Genoa was go
ing forward largely along lines which
had previously laid down by the state
department
By the same administration, spokes
man, a hope was expressed that the
solution of the whole problem which
could be endorsed by this government
might be reached at Genoa.
Would Go Ahead.
1t was added that should the con
ference fail the United States would
have to go ahead independently in ad
justing its relations with Russia. i
was reiterated that the basic principle
that had been set forth as condition:
for resumption of relations with Rus
sian remained unchanged.
Nothing had transpired at Genoa, i
was said, that had changed the posi-
tion of the United States.
AS consequence officials said tha
If the Genoa conference failed in tn,
solution, the United States in it's rela

where it was before.
In commenting on the work of tn,
conference, officials avoided any ref
erences to the differences which hav,
developed between the French ant
British representatives confining thei
recommendations to tie general worl

gressed.

NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-Investiga-
tion by a federal grand jury into a
bachelors dinner at the fashionable
Racquet and Tennis club on Park
avenue at which liquor was alleged
to have flowed freely, today brought
indictments of 13 men, including
four members of the La Montague
family, prominent in society.
Two indictments were returned,
charging a conspiracy to violate the
Volstead and internal revenue acts,
through which approximately 10000
gallons of assorted liquors were al
legged to have been illegally sold.
Some of those indicted also were
charged with having forged liquor
permits and other papers.
In statement made public in
connection with the indictments,
United States Attorney Haywoard
asserted that his office had followed
the trail of alleged bootleggers even
though it led to select circles and
exclusive places, and charged that
liquor had been sold on a wholesale
scale TO exclusive clubs and the
homes of the wealthy.
Federal Judge Knox received the
indictments on day on which two
other juries-one in the court of

the other in Brooklyn-had handed
up presentments urging repeal of
the state prohibition enforcement act
on the ground that it was ineffective
and wasteful of public funds.
