The extent to which Congress may

eating broad powers to the District

fully before the bill to accomplish
that purpose is acted on by Congress,
Senator McCarran. Democrat, OF Ne
vada, declared today.
Senator McCarran, to whom the bill
was referred by the District Commit

the legal phases of the bill, but be-
lieves the constitutionality Of such a

oughly in view Of the fact that the
Constitution provides that Congress

"It might be well to let the bill go
over until the next session. so that
these legal questions can be looked
into" Senator McCarran added.
The question came to the front
again yesterday when the District
Commissioners sent to the Senate Dis
trict Committee favorable report on

PHILLIPS DELAYED
|. GERMAN, IS CLAIM
Counsel for Normano, As
SertS UnderSecretary, Held
Up Extradition.
BY the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
BOSTON, May 9.-Undersecretary
Of State William Phillips today was
alleged to have been almost wholly
responsible for the delaying of the
extraoition to Germany Of DR.. Joao
FREDERICK Normano by William G.
Thompson. Normano's counsel, today.
The statement was made as counsel
for Normano petitioned Federal Judge
Elisha H. Brewster for Normano's re-
lease The German government al
leges Normano Is defaulting Berlin
banker, involved in $780, swindle.
Normano was arrested at his Cam
bridge home in January, 1888. while
n lecturer on economics at Harvard
University. He has consistently de-
MED he is Isaak Levin, the one-time
Berlin banker as charged by the Ger
man government.
In arguing for his clients freedom,
Thompson today pictured Phillips as
having, on his own initiative. at
tempted to have the German Ambas-
sador withdraw his country's demand
for Normano's removal to Berlin.
In addition. Thompson urged that
the court ought to take judicial notice
Of the status Of Jews in Germany and
the claim of Normano that he would
not obtain fair trial under the Hit
Ter regime.
1t was Thompson's contention that,
under the extradition treaty between
this country and Germany, if Nor
mano was TO be eytradited it should
have been done within 60 days after
the United States commissioner be-
fore whom Normano was originally
brought had found probable cause for
extradition. That was on March IL,
1888.
Thompson described Phillips as hav-
ing asked the German Ambassador on
May to withdraw his governments
demand and, he said, 1t took the Ger
man government nearly a month to
make up its mind it would not with
draw its request.
Phillips was worried about the
trial" said Thompson, because of
conditions in Germany"
Counsel for the German govern
ment countered with the allegation
that it was Normano's petition for a
writ Of habeas corpus which had de-
layed his deportation. After hearing
both sides, the court took the case
under advisement.

chairman of the board; Mrs. Hugh S.
Cumming and Judge Michael NJ.
Doyle.
Two members of the original Nom

ton of Mr.. KelSo.
