 perjury charges made against Luis
 Angel Firpo by Canon William S.
 Case on behalf of the New York Civil
 league. Firpo's fight with Harry Wills Is scheduled for September II. The ease was adjourned by the commissioner at tho request of Fly
 man Bushel. counsel for Firpo.
 Fidrpo. who hastened from his training camp near Saratoga Springs when he learned that the perjury charge had been brought. appeared before Commissioner Hitchcock with Mir. Bushel and a score Of friends.
 It is alleged that Firpo committed perjury before immigration officers at Ellis Island when he asserted that he had only a casual acquaintance with Senorita Blaca Lourdes Picart, who was a passenger on the steamer that brought him to this country. She was not permitted to land. but had to go to Cuba as her passport provided.

 we have no desire to act against the fight" he said. "Our only inter est in prosecution of FirRo Is to keep the country clean; to keep undesir- ables out of it. The woman was de- ported. Firpo is no exception; he. al- so should be deported."
 Assistant United States Attorney told the commissioner that the government had no interest in the case and would have nothing to do with its prosecution.
 A crowded court room, with many women In the audience, heard Bushel move for the postponement. during the course of which he laid down verbal barrage against Canon Chase. At one point he demanded the arrest on a counter charge of perjury. charging that he had made nisstatements ia procuring the warrant against Firpo. He averred that CanSh could have had no know1- edge of what had transpired at Fir oo's immigration hearing, whereupon .fe clergyman produced 8 letter rom the assistant acting secretary of abor at Washington, in which Firpo's tatements before the immigration au- horities were summarized.
 Firpo stood by stolidly throughout he proceedings, taking no part in hem, an interpreter and his lawyer oing all the talking necessary. On eaving court the big Argentine an- ounced he would leave immediately or Saratoga Springs to resume his raining grind.
 Firpo was held In s2,000 bail by Hitchcock. The bond yas furnished by Nathan Vlodinger.

 Washington. Aug, 1.-The attempt Of the senate Daugherty committee to Inquire into the affairs of M. &. paugherty. brother of the former At- torney General. was fully upheld by the federal government today Tn doeketing with the supreme court an appeal in the senatc's unsuccessful contempt proceedings against MT Daugherty in Ohio.
 A department of justice brief hled with the court declared the commit- tee had ample constitutional author ity for it's action and had not sought as held by the lower court, to exer- else judicial functions. The brief de- clared also that the committee had not encroached upon any of the pre- negatives of the house of representa- tiyes, under the provision placing the power to impeach in the hands Of the house.
 Not Peysonal
 The senate inquiTy was not a per- sonal investigation, of the former at- torney general. the government ar gued, but was directed to produce in- formation required by the senate within the exercise of Its legislative duties. Both houses of congress, 1t was held, have the constitutional pow CT to punish to the extent necessary in order to prevent obstruction or their functionings.
 The lower court had erred, the brief continued, when it entertained the habeas corpus proceedings brought by NJ. s. Daugherty because 1t had no, right whatever to inter- fere in the matter.
 Court Granted Habeas Corpus
 When arrested upon warrant 1s- sued by the senate in connection with | the senate investigation of the depart ment of justice, for having declined to appear before the committee and produce certain records of the Mid- land National bank at Washington Court House.

By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 Paris. Aug. 19.-The evacuation. begun yesterday morning by French troops of the Baden towns of Offen- bourg and Appenweier was compelled last night without incident the French war department announced today.
 The two squadrons of the eighth Hussars from Strasbourg and com- pany of the ITO infantry from KehL which formed the entire occupying force, numbering something less than 200 men, have rejoined their garri- sons. The two towns on the east bank of the Rhine, across from Strasbourg, have left not single one of the for- eign soldiers who entered limits Feb. 4, 1923, when the occupation was or- dered as a penalty for the suspension of service on German sections of two railway routes. By The Associated Press
 Strasbourg. France, Aug. fe.-Pres cautions taken by the German su- thorities against possible incidents during the French evacuation of Off, fenbourg and Appenweier proved needless, as the population not only of the affected towns but of the whole district showed indifference with the exception perhaps of the children who seemed to regret the soldiers depart ure.

Richmond Has Necessary Supplies for World Pliers
 Italian to Come Along

Washington. Aug. 19.-Official de.
 spatches today to the army air serv.
 ice from the world flight pilots
 strengthened the belief held here that
 both the planes disabled in an acci-
 dent yesterday can be readily re-
 paired from equipment carried by the
 naval convoy.
 Reporting the propcllers of one
 plane and the spreader bar of the
 other to have been broken in an at- tempt to take off from Iceland for Greenland, Lieutenant Smith, the flight commander. declared that "oth- erwise everything is o. K"
 Have requested Admiral Magruder to send parts which are on board Richmond near Greenland" he add ed, and explained that the mishap was caused by 'heavy swells without wind"
 Their machines were heavily load cd with fuel for the hop of more than 800 miles to Fredericksdal, and 1t was this extra weight that caused the trouble. as the planes refused to lift from the water. Repeated efforts to get off were in vain, and the strain caused the spreader bar on Lieutenant Smiths plane to break, while the propeller of the other machine was shattered.
 Repairs wait on the arrival here of the cruiser Richmond with spare parts. The cruiser, which had put to sea in anticipation of the flight. is not expected to reach port before tomor- row.
 A despatch from Lieutenant Bis- sell, in charge of an advance party, which evidently was filed before the accident, described the preparations which were made for the S25-mile hop:
 "Destroyers Billingsley and Reid, and cruisers Richmond and Raleigh proceeding to positions on new line of flight" he said. Barry and Coglllan believed in position at Cape Farewell. and Julianehaab, respec- lively. Islands Falk at Frederiksdal reports all in readiness and conditions favorable. Everything ready Ivigtut. Everyone confident"
