Precedent for the ' action o tho Assembly In suspending 'the five Socialist members, pending the investigation by the judiciary committee to determine -whether they nrc aualineil to serve as legislators, is found in the case of Brigham It. Roberts, elected to tho Fifty-sixth Congress from Utah, according to Speaker TliailuViis c' Bweet, of the Assembly. This declurn tion was contained iu a formal stnle ment issued by the speaker todio . "The remarks made in debate by cer tain members of the Assembly durme the Sessions of 101S and 1010 upon 1eKWn don then pendtne. pertaining to the Successful prosecution of the war linil attracted my attention." Mr. bucet aid. "This attitude upon their part, together with information which came to me from federal intelligence nfliecrs, led to the creation of the f.usk inesti Sating committee 'My observation of these, members iti legislative action, to gether with eidenec presented to the Lusk committee and other information, convinced me, ns it has otliciN that nij duty to the state and to the nation de manded that before these the members should be permitted to sit iu the As sembly their eligibility and qualifica tions should be passed upon. "The resolution introduced bv Mr. Adler djd not epel these the members. It empowered th - judiemrv i onunittce to Investigate their qualifications ami eligi bility and suspended them until the committee should report upon the sub ject. f "Tho sscmbly has followed the usual, orderly and well-settled rules and precedents in such oases. "In the case of Urisham II. Itobeits. a. reprcsentatie elected from the state pt Utah to tuc ntty-Miii ougrcs, ins rielit to sit was challenged by nn in dividual member of that body ou the ground that Koberts's Conduct had gendered him ineligible. A resolution was adonted by the House denjing him the right to a seat until after the report of the committee apiiinted to imesti- ?ate ns to his qualifications. "While the preamble of the reso lution adopted by the Assembly sug gests certain lines of inestigation which might be followed and certain associations and connections of the suspended members which might intli- 1 eate their disqualification, the com mittee is In no wise confined In tho scope o its investigation. It Is not di rected primarily to investigate the prin ciples of any political party or any other organization except as they have a bearing upon individual qualifications of a suspended member. Nor is the committee directed or required to In vestigate any specific charges what ever. "It Is a very different proceeding from the case of an Impeachment upon formulated charges. The committee Is required to investigate and ascertain whether in Its opinion the suspended members, separately and individually, havp beeu guilty of such conduct, have expressed bitch opinions, have associ ated themselves in such relationships as render them milit to sit in an Amer ican legislative assembly. If any such member has been guilty of disloyal, criminal, vicious or immoral conduct or utterances, or has associated him self with any organization, the prin ciples, tenets or practices of which are disloyal, criminal, vicious or im moral, lie is manifestly disqualified. "The suggestion which is being ac tively and insidiously promulgated that these men liner been suspended by rea son of political opinions, or primarily because they arc members of n politi cal party ns such, or that the action of the Assembly in suspending them constitutes any finality of judgment, is utterly fale."

Officials at Ellis Island oxnressed tho belief that if aliens were released before (hey had been examined by immigration inspectors it would be impossible; In many cases, to prove that they should he deported. Consequently, many taken in recent rnlds would have to bo set at liberty, it was argued. In behalf of I?vron II, I'hl, acting commissioner at the island, it was ex plained that he Ind not failed to obey the orders of his superiors in regard to admitting radicals to bail. I'ercy A. Uaker, superintendent at the island, said that deportation warrants provided that aliens "mav" be admitted to bail, but that the coutt had interpreted this as mandatorv. "The burden of proof is upon aliens held in deportation proceedings," said Mr Uaker. "Th" deportation warrants rend that the aliens must show cause why thev should not be deported. The assumption is that they nrc aliens unil in the United States. in violation of law. It will be almost Impossible to get a caso against theso pcoplo If they are let out on ball Immediately.

They had refused to answer questions of immigration In spectors in preliminary hearings and this was given as tho reason for re fusing them ball.
