Of an unconstitutional law, he held.
Massachusetts,, as a sovereign state,
had the right to raise the question of

attorney general continued. He said
that while acceptance of the act would
not waive the rights of a sovereign

INSPECTION HANDS BOUQUET TO
/ FIFTH INF. BACK FROM GERMANY

Portland, Maine. May 4.-Major
General Clarence r. Edwards after
reviewing today a provisional bat
talon of the Fift hInfantry, recent
ly returned from Germany, commend
ed the regiment as a "well drilled
and highly efficient body of men,"
Both tho commissioned and en-
listed personnel of the unit" he
added, "are of a distinctly high type
in their respective fields, and it is
evident that complete advantage has
been taken OF the exceptional op-
portunity they have had for intensive
training in Germany"
General Edwards in an interview
later said that, as a potential center
OF defense, New England and the
First Corps Area is the most vital
spot in the United States. He added
that any successful invasion of the
New England coast would, to his
mind, break down the entire defense
of the United States. He considers
New England in it's defensive relation
to this country the same as Block
Island in the defense Of New York
city.
AS commanding general of this
area, he said that all he asked was.
'for the men in New England to give
up a little time to military training

SUSTAIN PLEA OF
ABATEMENT FOR
ATTY GEN. ALLEN

Boston, May A plea in abate-
ment filed by Attorney General j.
Weston Allen to an indictment return
ed against him by the Suffolk county
grand jury charging the larceny of
$155 from a client, was sustained by
Judge Fessenden of the superior court
late today. The plea was taken on the
ground Of certain alleged irregulari-
ties in the grand jury room.
The court found that while the then
District Attorney Joseph c. Pelletier
and Assistant District Attorney Fred
erick NJ. ]. Sheehan were present, one
Of the grand jurors asked Mr.. Shee-
han regarding certain evidence that
had been presented, and that the as
sistant district attorney stated mis-
opinion or estimate of that evidence in
fact.
In announcing his decision Judge
Fessenden cited a recent opinion of the
supreme judicial 'court TO the eHect
that such action by the prosecuting Of
ficer was not permissible. The supe-
riorI court, he said, was bound to fol-
low the rule of law laid down by the
supreme court.
The indictment was returned in No
venIber last, shortly after the attorney
general had started proceedings which
resulted in the removal of Mr. Pelle-
tier. Mr.. Allen claimed before the
court that the grand jury had been
coerced by the district attorney into
returning the indictment.
At a hearing last month members
Of the grand jury testified as to the
presence Of Pelletier and Sheehan in
the grand jury room when the indict-
ment was voted, and told Of their le-
plies to questions by grand jurors.
They testified that at :.rst no bill was
voted, but that when the vote was
doubted a second ballot was takcf
which resulted in the indictment.

Washington. May 4-The Senate
had an old time political debate to-
day growing out of the result of the
Republican senatorial primary in In
diana, and revolving around the
question Of what will be the para
mount issue in the by-election in
November.
Senator Mccormick of Illinois,
chairman of the Republican sena-
torial campaign committee, quoting
from former governor Cox Of Ohio,
contended that the Democrats were
seeking to make the league of ma
tions the chief issue, but Senator
Underwood of Ala bama, the minority
leader, and other Democrats in
sisted that the existing economic
conditions would be the big question
before the voters.

Washington, May AFTER three
hours of rough shedding the Treadway
bill providing for creation of 10 addi-

laid aside by the House tonight just
at the voting point with indications
that it might not be called up again

Opposition to the measure as report
ed by the ways and means committee
with Democratic members dissenting,
developed so rapidly and Unexpectedly
that Republican leaders, joining in the
fight against it, declared It had gone
to the~legislative morgue.
During the long wrangling there
were references to the 'rumblings
from Indiana" and the protest from
some quarters against the nomination
of Sol Goldstein as revenue collector
at st. Louis. Chairman Fordney of
the committee. Representatives Chand-
Ter of Oklahoma. Mills of New York,

tional in an opinion given the legis-
lature today by Attorney General AL

The attorney generals opinion was

On the question Of constitutionality
his opinion said:
'"The act vests in the federal gov
ernment certain powers relating r.

manifestly fall within the scope of
the police powers. Most Of the ex-
pense will be borne by small minor
ity OF the states, while majority Of
