s o CAUSE SURPRISE AT WASHINGTON| Alleged Remarks of Our Min- ister to Greece. INQUIRY IS UNDER WAY George Fred Williams Reported to Have Condemned in Emphatic Terms the Present Government of Albania, Recently Set Up by- the Powers. Washington, June 29—Administra- tion officials, particularly those in the state department, are interested, mildly amazed and in some doubt over the reports from abroad that George Fred Williams of Boston, min- ister to Greece, officially condemned, in emphatic terms, the present gov- ernment in Albania. No such report has reached the de- partment. Inasmuch as some time ago the de- partment investigated a published re- port that Mr. Williams had offered his services on behalf of the United States 48 a mediator in the Albanian crisis, and found it was requdiated, they are inclined to await the result of an in- quiry on the latest story. The report attributed to Mr. Will- iams denounces as “a horrible crime” what the powers are doing in Albania. It does not even spare the Prince of Wied, saying of him: “l found a prince, calling himsel king, with no powers, no territory and no subjects except his wife and chil- dren.” Elsewhere in the report Mr. Will- iams says: "I uncovered at Durazzo an epochal scandal or anarchy, incom- petence, hypocrisy and murder. My first effort was to find the Albanian government. 1 found none, except six warships, and they were silent: “I took opinions on the London agreement. Eve one agreed from its plain reading that it created no government except one of armed force from abroad. for which all the au- thorities were clamoring.” FIGHT OPENS IN SENATE Senator Borah Attacks Trade Com- . mission Bill. Washington, June —Republican attack on the federal 1de commis- slon bill was opened in the senate by Senator Borah, who told his col- leagues that passage of the measure would lead, not to certainty among business men as to what they might lawfully do, but to another period of uncertainty such as followed the en- actment of the Sherman anti-trust act, Senator Borah criticised particula ly the pro on in the bill which s that “unfair competition” is unla ful. He declared that leading lawyers in the senate were unable to on what that term means and i it was unjust to ask the business of the country to determine a matter where the national legislators had failed.
