L. Phillips, republican state shairman of Georgia, had stated a week prior to his arrest on charges in con- pection with war fraud cases, that “things en the hill had come to such a comdition,” that he probably would be sréested, but that the case would end iere. Representative Larsen, - democrat, Georgia, characterized the . arrest of Phillips as 4n attempt. “by the attor- ney-general” to' shield -himseif from pub- lic eriticism.” He added that he did not believe the attorney-geniéral comtemiplat- ed_further prosecution. Representative Woodruff, joint author of a resolution for Investigation of war fraud cases, referring to the Phillips, case, sald “was taking a greal in- terest in that proceeding” and added Ba had not been lulled to sleep by the “feverish” attempt of the attorney-gen- eral to “go after war grafters.” “There is great activity no “bmt there was none until after.

P.)—The main difficulties of the signatories of the Anglo-:Irish treaty over the proposed Irish constitution, are believed to have been climinated in consequence of the tonferences io London in which Premier Lloyd George and Arthur Griffith, pres \dent of the Dail Eireann, have taken part. It is estimated that a joint meet- Ing of the signatories will be held early vest week.

June The - senate abandoned' tonight, temporariiy’ at least, its night sessions for consideration of ‘the tariff bill, ‘hut it had difficuity ‘in getting away owing to the fact that a record vote on an amendment, demanded just before the hour agreed upon for a recess, disclosed that a quorum was not present. After fifty minutes, and soma activity by thesergeant-at-arms, a sufficient number of senators to make up the necessary 49 was obtained and the session was brought to a close. Whether day sessions alone are to be the rule for the future will depend, Sena- tor McCumber, republican, North Dakota, in charge of the bili, said,, upon . how closely the senate applies itself to a con- slderation of the tariff. Committee amendments in only three paragraphs of the bill were disposed of today, and this progress was not as satisfactory as those in charge of the measure had hoped for. Senator McCumber has urged senators on his side of ‘the committée'to eliminate as far as possible discussion of extrane- ous matters, and a similar request of democratic senators was renewed today by Senator Simmons of Nerth Carolina, minority leader in the tzriff debate. Committee amendments disposed of to- day had to do with duties on table, butcher and other knives and scissors and shears. i The committee.amendments taken . up today led to long fights with Senator Jones, democrat, New Mexico, opposing the duties proposed, and Senators M Lean, republican, Connecticut, and Mg Cumber conducting the fight. In several instances the committee receded from its original rates and its substitute figures were approved after several efforts by the minority to reduce-them had failed. {'vlnmne of the situation’ to boost the It was said that at the conference which was held at Senator Borah’s res- idence, at the instance of the comméres secretary, the question o governmental action for bringing about a settlement of the strike was not discussed. Secretary Hoover was said to have assured Senator Borah that in further conference with operators and dealers he would do his utmost to prevent profiteer- ing and to obtain price adjustments to protect the public, and Senator Borah was understood to have agreed to with- hold any investigation pending the out- come of Mr. Hoover’s action. Following the conference, Senator Bo- rah made the following statement: “My position at the conference tonight was simply this. If the operators and retailers work together and will co-op- erate to protect the public in the matter of prices, T-should not favor'at this time any investigation and would let this price propositiop werk itself-out if it will. “But if the maximum which has:been fixed by Mr. Hoover is going to be used by the operators. at a minimum-price and thus push on {o the retailers, and the op- erators and retailers together . take ad price to the public, I would favor an in- vestigation to force a complete exposi- tion with a view to laying the foundation for public control. TEN DAYS BEFORE SENATE TAKES UP THE BONUS BILL Washington, June §.—Efforts to ob- tain senate consideration of the soldiers’ Bonus bill will be ‘deferred. for at least ten days it was stated today authorita- tively. Whether it will be taken up by agreement - among republican - leaders or without the consent of some remains to be determined. Chairman McCumber, of the finance committee, who will pilot the legislation on the floor, has informed senators that in fixing a time to call the bill up he will try to suit the conveniénce of most of them. He sald he realized that thers were those on each side who had been absent from time to time because of pri- mary campaigns in their states and who desired to be present when the bonus is considered. Another amendment to the bonus measure was offered today, Senator Mc- Nary, republican, Oregon, proposing the Smith-McNary $350,000,000 reclamation measure as a land settlement feature. This bill already has been reported to both the house and senate but as a part of the bonus measure it would be changed Senator McNary said, so that veterans would be given preference in the purchase of land in excess of the farm unit and in the preference to homestead public lands lying within & reclamation district. Under another change the service of veterans would be utilized as practicable In-the construction of each reclamation project. Senator McNary said it was his pur- pose to press his amendment provided: a majority of the senate show adesire to incorporate land settlement provisions in the bonus bill. mi M WRECKED A SEAPLANE TO v SAVE LIVES OF BATHERS Boston, June 9.—To save the lives of bathers at Tennean Beach, Dorchester, toady, Stanley E. and William H.

The founding fathers who gave us America no more dreamed of what 125 years would bring than we today can dream of the possi- bilities of the funture. “When I realize what has happened in that time I dare not lift the cup of outi- mism to lips.

He also suggested that the law which created the federal trade commission be enlarged to prohibit corporations in in- terstate trade from acquiring competi- tors without previous approval of the commission. Under the present law, Untermyer contended, the commission never’ gets an opportunity to lock the stable door until the horse has escaped. With respect to the merging of Re- public, Midvale, and Inland, into North American Steel, Mr. Untermyer said, he had had no suggestions.. He said the committee inquiry showed the capitali- zation to be conservative, and that the consofidation might be a public benefit if it would have the effect of reducing “the huge differential now enjoyed by the United States Steel corporation.” “Any Jove in the steel business that tends toward destruction of the monop- oly now enjoved by the steel corpora- tion should be welcomed,” he said.
