ence was bitterly discussed by both
sides and the machine had all it could
do to martial the votes necessary for
the quashing of the case.
Frank Harrington, himself, pleaded
that the graft charges be dropped and
the resolutions committee begged for
peace and tranquility.
John Watt demanded action on the
call for an investigation into the
charges that Harrington and Lewis
made against each other-that Far
rington had deal with W. ]. Lester
for the operation of the notorious
strip mine at Herrin and that Lewis
and his associates were paid by the
operators for throwing Howat out Of
the union and got 100000 and $780,
900 respectively, from Kentucky and
Pennsylvania operators for betraying
the miners during the 1922 strike.
Truth in Charges"
81 believe there is some truth in the
charges brought in these letters"
cried Watt. why didn't harrington
get up in the national convention and
make statements he made here If he
says he isn't afraid Of Lewis?"
Watts referred to the statement of
Harrington that in spite of Lewis's
later denial Harrington still believes
Lewis charged Harrington in an inter
national board meeting with being
corrupt and with dickering with Les
ter strip mine owner and allowing ii
to operate during the strike.
1T is true Lewis and harrington
got together but not for good of the
organization. They got together and
Harrington had to get down on HIS
knees before Lewis and said, Gods
sakes, let's get together II they
hadn't they would have destroyed
each other. The victim of the Lewis
Harrington deal is sitting in this hall
right now
Let Lewis Arswer Charges.
Before the vote to quash the de-
mand for an investigation was taken
Delegate Joe Tumulty moved to defer
action until Lewis arrived to defend
his position. but Harrington arbitrarily
ruled him out Of order.
Freeman Thompson, another signer
to the probe-resoluton, was denied the
floor contrary to all parliamentary
procedure. A motion to close debate
came next and the vote was taken

June 15-Finland to Make
Debt Payment

Great Britain, Finland and Hun.
gary are expected to make material
payments on their war and relief
debts to the United States June is,
the Treasury announced today.
England will pay something over
SIS. 100000 as semi-annual interest
on her debt of $4,000 900 900; Fin
land will pay $134,O 900 interest and
Hungary probably $4,000, under
the recent funding agreement.
May Pay In Cash.
The British government may pay
in cash instead OF Liberty bonds as
in the past. That government has
the option of paying in bonds or
cash but the agreement provides
thirty day notice to the United
States If bond payments are to be
made. Treasury officials announced
today that no notice has been re.
ceived from Great Britain and that
1t was therefore assumed cash
would be received.
Secretary Of the Treasury Mellon
indicated that should Britain later
decide to pay in bonds an arrange
ment might be concluded. It is
not material to the Treasury how
the payments are made. While not
desiring a further accumulation Of
gold the Government observed that
gold would come to this country
for the purchase of bonds so that
the material result would be the
same.
Securities Above Par.
Britain is leaning toward cash
payment because most of the Gov
eminent securities are above par,
according to the Treasury.
The payments will be made
through the New York Federal Re.
serve Bank.
No limitations of possible settle.
ment have been received from
France or Italy, the principal
debtors whose obligations have not
been funded.

British Embassy Moves to So

Subject

John CLAIMANT, twenty years old.
Singalese, sits in Gallinger Hos
pital and wonders why the name Of
Theodore Roosevelt brought him
there, while the British embassy,
moving with it's usual decorous
dignity, is working for the release
Of this subject Of King George.
Travelling from tropical Asia with
two Catholic priests, CLAIMANT
separated from his companies in
Paris and came to the United
States.
On April %, CLAIMANT walked into
the White House. A policeman
asked him his business. Speaking
in broken English. CLAIMANT said he
wished to see President Roosevelt.
The policeman politely waved
CLAIMANT to a seat, and the smooth
machinery Of the law landed the
amazed Singalese in Gallinger Hos
pital for mental observation.
The young man says that Colonel
Roosevelt once invited his father
to visit the White House.. The
son took up the invitation and came
here.
G. H. Thorn pson, second secretary
of the British embassy, learned Of
Claimants plight, and asked the hos
pital authorities to forward a re-
port on the case. CLAIMANT ap-
parently is well educated and shows
none of the usual signs of an un.
balanced mind. It is expected he
will be released soon.
