Boston Woman Bitterly Attacks mer Chairman of RepubG- can National Commit. tee, Now Candidate for U. 5. Senator.
Asserts He Tried to Push Veteran Statesman Into Retirement, Then Insult ed Him At Convention Denies ex-Legislator Approved Succession"

Boston, Sept. 1o.-(UP)-Charges that her father the late Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, had been treated like a pickpocket" at the orders of William M. Butler, candl- date for the republican nomination for United States senator, were made today by Mrs, Constance Will Hams of South Hamilton.
 In letter to Eben S. Draper. who is opposing Butler for the ,nomina ton. Mrs. Williams said there was mot word of truth" in campaign statements by Butler that he and Lodge were friends. that Lodge wished Butler to succeed him in the senate, or that reports of happenings at the 1924 convention at Cleveland were exaggerated.
 When Mrs. Williams letter was brought to his attention, Butler is- sued a statement in which he said he regretted that she was under misapprehension with reference to the matter of my relations with her father Senator Lodge"
 T have been told by Senator Moses, and he has publicly asserted, that Senator Lodge told him that his successor in the senate regardless of the manner in which the seat be- came vacant would be William NJ Butler" the statement said. T have never made this assertion by reason of any statement of Senator Lodge 1 to me-" Butler declared.
 Hostility Was Marked
 "Mr. Buffers hostility to my 1 father was in good working order 1n 1893 when he supported Crapo and not Lodge for the republican nomin- ation to the U. s. senate" Mrs. Will liams' letter said. When Lodge ran for the senate in 1922, he was told | that Butler and his outfit would | support him if he would retire iu favor of Butler at the end of the | term. My father said to me, That crowd of Buffers want me to prom | ise to get out and let Butler in. Not except over my dead body
 Tn 1924 the republican conven- tion was held at Cleveland. My | father was a. senator of Massachu- setts, and had been so for 31 years: he was rich in years and honors ana had given long and honorable serv- ice to his country and his state. He arrived at Cleveland to find himself treated like pickpocket, at the or ders of William Morgan Butler, the chairman at that time of the re- publican committee. It was carried so far that his accommodations were unfit and insufficient; and bis one-time secretary, the late Louis A Coolidge, insisted on changing rooms with him.

.PILSUDSKI ARRESTS
 l5 SEJM MEMBERS
Dictator's Foes Seized in Their Beds By
 Police

Warsaw, Poland. Sept. 10 (UP)- moved sternly against his political foes in Poland again today when 15 members of the opposition parties in parliament were summoned from their beds by police and taken to jail.
 All of the deputies arrested were taken to Brestlitovsk. The arrests were not made on orders of the public prosecutor but by police on the grounds of crimes against the president and the existence of the state.
 Pilsudski, who returned to the premiership recently after various premiers under his influence had failed to unite the nations political factions, has long been in contro- versy with the parliament and his action against the deputies coincided with announcement that five oppo- sition parties had formed an cleo ton bloc headed by Ignace Daszyn- yki, former Sejm speaker and foe of the premier.
 Pilsudski suspended parliament immediately after he took over the duties of premier. Although police carried out the arrests it was said in many quarters that the govern ment might have believed that the present parliamentary election cam paign has been going against it.
 Warrants were said to have been issued for the arrest of the Minister Of Interior and General Skladkovski. The deputies arrested early today all surprised while in bed except Vincenz Witos who was seized at the Cracow station-were members of the socialist party, the various farmers parties and the nationalist democratic party. sThere' are more than score of political factions in the parliament.
