New Yerk, May, 3. The Lockwood
Legislative Committee was advised , net
te start investigation of conditions in

It has been suggested, he .said, that
the committee take cegnisance of these
conditions en the ground that heat ia
necessary for apartments and that the
coal situation affects housing condi

that matter at this time," he said, "It
is being dealt with by the Federal au
thorities "and our entry, it seems te be,
would only create confusion. Ceal

"I maintain that six and nine months

before he died, took the blame for the
killings and said that he and Jehn

desire of the President te hnve him re

llnm J. Burke, who nlse aspires te the
old Penrose sent in the Scnntc.
The machine chleftuins nre figuring
en "trades" iu favor of Burke in seme
districts In order te swing votes for
Alter.
The presidential snub te Alter was
given ut Washington yesterday when
Alter visited the White Heuse under the
direction of Congressman Vnre. After
the Attorney General had met the Pres
ident the Alter lenders were shocked te
hcar.thnt Piesldent Harding hnd sternly
announced that he was net tnking sides
in the primary tentet In I'ennsjlvnnla.
This Is what wok said by the Presi
dent: "I wnnt te settle this question for
all time. The President is net partici
pating in nny primary fight In -any
State. He does net regard It ns a seemly
thing te de, and there will be nunc
of It."
Vnre leaders would have been much
plen"j(l, It wns indicated, if things had
worked out the same ns they did when
Congressman Vnre nnd Sennter Vnre
called en the President in the first ef
fort te make it appear thnt the Presi
dent wns concerned nbeut Alter. On
thnt occasion the President said noth
ing. This time, In the view of Alter
leaders, he said cntliely tee much for
their comfort.
Pinchot Is In Dauphin County tedny,
the home of the Stnte Capitel nnd spo spe
cinl bailiwick of W. Hnrry Baker, chief
engineer of the Alter campaign. Yes
ttrduy he toured Fajette County, nnd
spoke last night ut Pittsburgh te u
reusing meeting.
Sennter IViiper boldly repudiated the
idea festered by the Vare City Commit
tee meeting thnt he was linked up with
the Alter candldncy. He said he wus
running for Senater.
President Slams Schemes
Dibputehcs from Washington tedny
Indicate that President Harding bitterly
resents the schemes of the bosses te
make him a pait of the Alter campaign.
On the heels of this disappointment
te the political plotters, the "love
feast" between Mr. Alter nnd the Penn
sylvania delegation In Congress, also
engineered by "Brether BUI," turned
out a "frost." Even with the aid of
Sergeant -at -Arms Redgers, ,a Phlladel
phlan nnd pretege of the late Boies Pen
rose, te round up the members of the
delegation, only fifteen out of the thirty
six Pcnnsylvanlans in Congress could
be corralled for the cenfnb.
Sixteen men nnd women were ndded
today te the Alter Philadelphia Com
mittee. They are:
Mrs. Jehn Hnmpten , Barnes. Mrs.
David Phillips, C'liurlemagne Tower,
Henry P. Brown, Jehn M. Daley, C.
Stuart Patterson, -Tern 11. Shnw. David

Sidney W. Keith, ('. S. W. Packard
and Arthur S. Arneld.
Jehn Hampton Bnrnes Issued n state
ment tedny indorsing the Attorney Gen
eral's candidacy.
The Alter campaign hendquarters is
sued another statement, most of it In
the form of n questlonnniie aimed n
Mr. Pinchot.
"Did jeu." wns one query, "consult
or confer with any prominent member
of the Republican Party in Pcnnsjl
vnnla before announcing jour candi
dacy 7 H net, why, if you claim te be
a Republican, did jeu net de se?"
Mr. Pinchot's uuupnign nmiuuers re
torted that the former State Ferester
placed his candidacy before the people
without consulting Senater Vnre, Sen Sen
aeor Mnx G. Leslie or ether county
lenders of the contractor combine.
