Commander Kenworthy havin asked what was the reason for this discrimination against particular Newspapers seeing official and semi- official information issued for the benefit of the public and not for the benefit of certain selected newspa- pers, the Premier replied: ‘Official information is rendered available to newspapers in two ways. Announcements of Government de- partments and communiques aro dis- tributed by the news agencics as a matter of routine, but now for some years it has been customary for fa- cilities to be given to representatives of newspapers to visit Government offices and make inquiries on their own behalf. This courtesy has been normally extended to all newspapers without regard to their attitude to the Government of the day. “The Times took full advantage of the courtesies, but courtesy should beget courtesy. On Wednesday the | Times published an attack of a pecu- liarly offensive and mischievous char- acter on the Foreign Secretary, with | special reference to the momentous) and delicate negotiations in which he was engaged in pursuance of the policy of representing not only the Gov- ernment of the English United King- dom, but the dominion Premiers and India. Such reference seems to us to violate all normal standards of Eng- lish Journalism. I pass over the ques. tion of taste, but it is difficult to pass over the attempt to create personal prejudice in foreign countries against a British public servant of high re- pute at a time when he was charged with the most responsible negotia~ tions on behalf of the whole empire. “It is not too much to say that no reputable journal of any party would publish such an attack, Fort: ately it is entirely without precedent. Jn spite of its record the Times still is supposed in many circles abroad to represent both educated and official opinion in this country. Here we know it has long ceased to hold that position, That fact is only gradually becoming known abroad and it is therefore essential that ,the British Government as a whole Should mark strongly its disapproval of such an attack upon the Foreign Secretary at such a critical moment. “Official information is, of course, available to the Times all before, but the special favor actordéd to it in the past by tradition is entirely with- drawn.” ———— SIDETRACK ANTI-BEER BILL. Senators Temporarily Shelve It to Consider Farmers’ Measure Firat, WASHINGTON, July 18.—The Willts- Campbell Anti-Beer Bill got a tempor ary set back to-day when the Senate, by a vote of 47 to 17, refused to give it right of way and instead gave privileged status to the Norris farmers’ relief measure to create a $100,000,000 export corporation, Chairman Norris of the Agriculture Committe moved to proceed with his bill, Sterling (Rep., 8. D.) countered with an effort to get up the Willis- Campbell pill. “There is no comparison in im- rtance of the two bills,” said Senator Norris. “Here comes the Senator from South Dakota with a little Dill in one hand and a beer bottle in the other and demands that everything else stop until his bill ts passed.” Senator Sterling replied that the Anti- beer Dill was an emergency measure, adding that it probably could be passed in_one Senators Underwood, Jader, and Borah (Re consideration of the “immediate necessity beer bill, Senator “Willi: o.) declared, might mean ‘breakdown of Prohibition enforcement.”” SOLDIER BURIAL INQUIRY. Col, William Hayward, Federal At- torney for the Southern District of New York, yesterday appointed his as- sistant, Maxwell S, Mattick, to con- duct a thorough inquiry into the burial of soldier dead and to start such crim- inal prosecutions as the evidence may warrant. His action followed a talk with Major Wiliam Deegan, Vice Commander of the American Legion of the State, Who, in the absence of Lieut. Col. Cor- helius W. Wickersham, Chairman. of the committee investigating Fox Hilla And other soldier hospitals, presented to-Col. Hayward the evidence adduced before the Meyer committee, ‘After the examination of an under- taker under contract to bury soldier dead, the Meyer committee wrote to laeut. Col.

Machold, who had the Dill reported out of Rules Committee, and che next day it was passed by the Assembly. Gegan reported no “evidence” back to Lusk. Under questioning of Leonard M. Wallstein, associate counsel for the Meyer committee, Gegan told of the « first meeting of the Detectives’ Em dowment Association in April fol vaney and Conkling took the floor, Gegan charged, and asked that the association assess members up to $10,000 to pay for “putting the bill ~ through.” Gegan immediately pro- tested. He revealed to the members his version of everything that had taken place at Albany. Turning to Conkling and Devaney, who persisted that the money be paid, Gegan testi- fied, he admonished: ARRESTS THREATENED 8UT NOT MADE. “If you don't stop now—if theres any more talk of assessmenta—IU. make arrests right here.” No arrests were made, although Gegan admitted Conkling insisted there would be “a scandal” if the money borrowed for use at Albany was not repaid by the association. “Did you have any further conver- sations with Senats Lusk?” Gegan ” was asked. “No.” “pid the Police Commissioner favor or oppose this legislation?” “J don't know.” ; “Have you testified to these cite cumstances before?” Mr, Wallstein questioned. “Yes.
