Means about Treasury liquor | permit issues, Secretary Mellon today | sent to the Senate Daugherty commit- | tee a letter from S. P. Gilbert, former undersecretary of the Treas- ury, denying that he ever talked with Means about the subject. “I notice that Gaston Means, in his absurb testimony before the Wheeler committee,” Mr. Gilbert wrote on May 29, “states that he talked with me. What he says Is of no particular importance, but I have never talked with Means on any subject at any time.” Thomas W. Miller, the alien proper- ty custodian, testified before the com- mittee yesterday that he was present when Mcans and Gilbert had a talk in his office. “On one occaasion when Means tried to get me to talk to him through Col. Miller," said Mr. Gilbert's letter, “I flatly ‘refused even to see him, and told Miller that I regarded him as a crook and scoundrel, and would have no dealings with him under any con- dition.” Samuel Ungerleider, an Ohio broker, also filed a letter with the committee, denying various allegations contained in its testimony that he had dis- cussed “transactions or had interest in enterprises which _ involved ! tion, became ill liquor.’ He denied that Abe Unger- leider, his brother, was a member of his brokerage firm, ,_D.

A minority report by five Republi- can members of the oil committee | was submitted yesterday to the Sen-| ate. 1t differed from som of ihe| views expressed in the majority port drawn up Thursday by _the mittee prosecutor, Senator Walsh.

The five senators complain they had no_adequate opportunity ts ex. amine the majority report which, the: assert, was first p ted for their co deration Wednesday. Walsh gave not he would ask the Senate today to adopt formally the majority report. The full text of the minority report | follows: “No adequate opportunity has been given to examine the report which has been submitted. The final hear- ings are not vet returned from the printer. “A casual reading of the report in: dicates many mistakes and conclu- | sions and inferences of fact and law which, in the judgment of the under- signed, are unwarranted by the testi- mony. “On May 14, when the hearings were discontinued for this session, request was made, of record, that an oppor- tunity of at least a few days be of- forded in order to examine the report which_the_senior senator from Mon- tana, Mr. Walsh, indicated he intend- ed to prepare, and that such oppor- tunity be given before the report was submitted to the committee for final action. No such opportunity was af- forded. “The report was .printed and pre- | sented June 4 to the committee for immediate consideration and action. | It was on that date first presented to | the undersigned.

ADVERSARIES PLAN COoTP Motion to Oust President Consid- ered by Deputies. e Associuted Pro PARIS, June 7—The government deadlock es, but there is evi that President Millerand will name a premier this evening after consulting M. Steeg and a few other political leaders. The president is convinced that hi tance to the interdict of the Left has been approved by steadily grow ing sections of parliamentary opir ion, where uneasiness is felt over the drastic measures put forward by th radical leaders, providing for “starv ing” the government by cutting on its money supplies. The president's adversaries likely (o bring forward a motion tha dence re: | the chamber =it uninterruptedly unti A ministry in conformity with the will of the country as expressed i1 the election on the 11th of May formed.” 1f the motion is adopted it is pre sumed that President Millerand will walk out of the Elysee Palace after launching a resignation _addres: leaving no doubt as to the causea of the crisis and the reasons for his attitude. This address in all prob- ability would be read to parliament by M. Poincare, who would tem- porarily resume office until the elec tion of a new president. This, however, is but hypothetical So far as can be seen, M. Millerand has a chance of winning his figh and the general impression of thos with whom he has consulted is tha he is likely to be able to form som« sort of ministry within two days. Deaths Reported.
