noticeable that the host of political
leaders at the funeral services of the

the fact that the Governor and the

and enjoyed full opportunity for heart-to-heart
conferences.
What is described as a Sproul-Moore

source of comfort to the Vnre leaders.
Coincident with the eveuts in this

Washington, June 4. With confer

ures and n mass of routine legislation

Senate and House, after long night
sessions, are making every effort to
day to finish their program by 4 p.
m. tomorrow, when Congress will ad
journ. llllls passed tonight or tomorrow,
leaders pointed out, could not become
laws, because of delays incident to en
rollment and presentation to the Presi
dent for signaturo before the adjourn
ment, ,
Without amendment the Senate judi
ciary committee today reported out the
Ifouse joint resolution providing for
the repeal of all war Jegislatlon except
the Lever food control and the trading
with the enemy act.
Before Senate Tomorrow
Senators said there was no opposi
tion in committee to the resolution, and
that it would be considered by the
Sennte before adjournment tomorrow.
In the Senate, which remained in
session until after 2 o'clock this morn-
ing to pass tlie third deficiency bill
carrying appropriations for ?.8,407.0(HJ,
or ?5,000,000 more than the House
bill, tho conference report on thn mer
chant marine bill was made the un
finished business to be taken up at 11
o'clock. Several appropriation bills
also were yet to be approved.
A similar program Is before the
House, in addition to which leaders in
that branch expected to consider the
Senato resolution refusing the authority
asked by President Wilson for a man
date over Armenia. Pabsugo of the
resolution was said to be assured, al
though Democrats expressed hope that
tho vote would not be as decisive as
that in tho Senate.
.Merchant Marine Rill
The merchant marine bill wns before
the House yesterday, but was sent back
to conference because It was held that
the conferees hnd exceeded their au
thority iu making several changes.

maneuvers in the House and n hint
of a filibuster In the Senate against the
government employes minimum wage

night sessions, and leaders held both
branches until the program to be com
pleted wns cleaned up.

Utterly False Charges Made In
Regard to Aliens' Cases, Says
Attorney General
RETORTS TO FRANKFURTER
Ry tho Associated Press
Washington, Juue 4. Describing as
utterly falso charges contained In n re
port of a committee of lawyers to the
National Popular Government League
relative to the treatment of nrrested
aliens by tho Dcpnrtmcut of Justice.
Attorney General Palmer today called
on Felix Frankfurter, of Cambridge,
Mass., one of the signers of the report,
to retract them.
Mr. Pnlmcr telegraphed Mr. Frank
furter in reply to n telegram from him
and Kacharlah Chafce, Jr., of Cam
bridge, asking the attorney general
whether he was disposed to prohibit
arrested aliens from having legal
counsel.
"I have not criticized you or any
other lawyer for appearing as counsel
for aliens in deportation cases in any
proceedings, either before tho Depart
ment of Labor or In court," the at
torney general's telegram said. "My
criticism was directed against the no
tion of yourself and other lawyers whose
names were attached to a statement
filed with the House committee on rules
nnd given wide publicity in the country,
making utterly false charges aguinst the
Department of Justice and the attorney
general.
"These charges had ns their only
foundation statements made by aliens
after their arrests, which were pal
pably false upon their face aud the alle
gations of which, as you know, were
denied by tho responsible sworn officers
of the government whose conduct these
aliens sought to impeach. Some of'thc
ullens themselves have since denied the
very statements which your committee
filed. Your uppnrent willingness to be
lieve theso statements indicates some
other desire on your part than jubt ad
ministration of tho law.
"I produced before the committee ou
rules, of the House of Representatives
conclusive proof of the falsity of these
charges. Confronted by proof you owe it
to yourself ns well ub to the Depart
ment of Justico to publicly retract
them."
