London, March THE impact of
the Dennistoun case upon the sensi-

about series OF repercussions in the
form of whispered speculatIons as to
what the social outcome will be.
Coming on the heels of the scandal

Leads Hot Fight
Against Warren
Suspend the Sherman Act If

Cries Montana

Washington, March Proceeding
In open legislative session over the
protest OF administration leaders, the
senate today took up the nomination
OF Charles B. Warren of Michigan,
to be attorney general, but failed to
reach vote after three hours dis
cussion.
The fight against confirmation was
launched by Senator Walsh of Mon
tana, democrat. on the judiciary COM
mittee, which has twice approved the
nomination, and will be continued
next week by Sentaor Reed of Mis-
souri,, and possibly others. Friends
of Mr.. Warren expect favorable ac-
ton. however, before the end of the
week.
Mr.. Warren's nomination was called
up in executive session as required
under senate rules, and Senator Reed
moved that the doors be opened. The
motion then prevailed. As to SO. with
administration republicans voting al
most solidly against it.
Suspend Sherman Act"
Practically all of the three hours
Of debate today were taken up by
Senator Walsh in presenting his ar
gument against confirmation. and In
its course he had read to the senate
long abstracts from the testimony of
Mr.. Warren in the sugar trust" In
vestigation a decade ago.
~
ator from Montana declared that II
the senate consented to the nomina-
ton of Mr.. Warren there would be
left only one consistent thing for con-
gress-the repeal of the Sherman anti.
trust act.
Chairman Cumnins Of the judiciary
COMMITTEES frequently interrupted
Senator Walsh In the defense OF Mr..
Warren, and Senator Butler, repub-
lican, Massachusetts,. presented copy
of stipulation made by a represen-
tative OF tho Department of Justice
during the Wilson administration,
that Mr. Warren and his law firm
had had no connection with the Amer
lean Sugar Refining company since
1906, the date of the organization of
the Michigan Sugar company.
Acted for Sugar Firm.
Evidence in the sugar trust" in
vestigation read to the senate was
that Mr.. Warren had acted for II. f.
Havermyer and the American Sugar
Refining company in purchasing stock
in the Michigan beet sugar companies,
which subsequently we're consolidated
into the Michigan Beet Sugar COM
pany, Of which Mr.. Warren became
president.
In this connection Senator Walsh
said the federal trade commission had
reported the Michigan Beet Sugar
company, with others, was engaged
in a conspiracy to restrain trade IN
the sale Of beet pulp, and insisted that
should court proceeding result, the
presidents nominee would not be the
proper official to prosecute the case
for the government.
Calling attention that Harlan f.
Stone. as attorney general, had denied
a request of the American Sugar Re
filming company for permission to ae-
auire more than 25 per cent of the
stock of the National Sugar company
of New Jersey, Senator Walsh pre-
dicted that the request would be re-
newed. He added that Mr.. Warren
would not be the proper person rs
