Air. Harr, to prevent a possible mis carriage of justice. "The trial of the entire Western fuel case was not ordered postponed." said Mr. Harr, "but only the trials of Bruce and Smith, who were indicted with three other directors of the company. Bruce and Smith were directors only, while the otner three defendants were officials as weU as directors. "Attorney Pringle. for the company, asked that the indictments of Bruce and Smith be dismissed . on the ground of" no evidence to connect them with thealleged frauds. I certainly studied the evidence in the case submitted by Cuffed." States Attorney McNab and reached the conclusion that Bruce and Smith, who seemed men of high char acter, probably were Innocent, as ap parently they were directors in the usual sense ana were unfamiliar with the operations of the company. Miscarriage or Justice Fcireil. "In order to prevent a miscarriage of justice, I recommend, and Attorney General McReynolds acquiesced, that it would be better to try first the three directors who were officials because this trial undoubtedly would develop the extent of the connection of Bruce and Smith with the alleged frauds. "It seemed unwise to run the risk . T convicting two innocent men along with three men who might be guilty when the ends of justice could be fully satisfied by later trials if the govern ment received evi-V-u which it did not then possess of '?- guilt of Bruce and Smith." Following is the tex. of the Kahn resolutions: "Resolved. That the Attorney Gen eral be, and he is hereby instructed, to transmit to the House of Representa tives copies of all correspondence and other papers and memoranda on file in the office of the Attorney General, "or referred by the President to the Attorney General, relating to the pros ecution or trial of Maury Diggs and Drew Caminetti, or both of them, for violation of the white slave law.

Further correspondence that passed between the offices of the Attorney-General In Washington and the United States At torney for the Northern District of California was made public tonight as TJistrlrt Attorney John L. McNab's re ply to the statement of Assistant-At torney-General William R. Harr In "ex planation of the postponement of the trials of two directors of the Western Fnel Company accused of conspiracy to defraud the Government. The correspondence related to an or- d-er from the Attorney-Generals office that six women, w hose deportation had been decreed by Federal judges on the ground that -they had entered the United States to follow an immoral iilling, be Admitted to bail. The de portation orders had been signed by Judges Van Fleet and Petrick. In a letter written on September 27. 1912. District Attorney McNab in formed the Assistant-Attorney Gen eral that the' court had denied the women freedom on ball and protested against their release on bail. On October 12 Assistant Attorney General Harr wrote that he had con sidered the evidence In the cases and thiit he disagreed With the court; that in his judgment the women should hsve been released on bail. District Attorney MeNab's reply to this letter, made public tonight, de scribed the six women as "of the low est type" and conveyed the informa tion that a roundabout attempt had been made to procure their freedom by bribery of his office. "Nevertheless," said Mr. McNab, "the women were not deported and they are now engaged in their illicit traffic in this city." The Federal grand jury at a meet ins this afternoon prepared resolutions condemning the action of Attorney General McReynolds In the Western Fuel Company and the Diggs-Camlnettl rases and supporting the action of United States Attorney John L. Mc Nab. The members of the body said tonight that the resolutions would be acted upon at their next meeting. This is the grand jury which investigated the charges a second time and which returned indictments upon both occa sions. The former grand jury, already dis charged, which first indicted the West ern Fuel officials, will be called into a meeting tomorrow at the instigation of their former members. Resolutions have been prepared which are like those prepared by the present grand Jury. CHARGES MAY BE PROSECUTED Diggs and Caminetti May Not Get Clear In Sacramento County. SACRAMENTO, Cal.. June 23. Al though the Federal authorities ordered the postponement of the cases of Maury Diggs and Drew Caminetti, two charges, one a misdemeanor and the other a felony, still remain for the men to face in the Sacramento County superior courts. The felony charge against Diggs al leges the desertion of his 5-year-ola daughter; that against Caminetti al leges the desertion of Naoini Camin etti and a 1-year-old son. District Attorney Wachhorst had in tended to suspend - these charges should the Federal charges be com pleted, but it is probable that they will now be prosecuted.

Dr. Simpson. Rector of 'St. Mark's Parish. Sits at Head of Committee Considering Facts. Final Report Expected Soon. Whether Mrs. Marcella Clark is to be permanently excommunicated from the Episcopal Church, of which she has been a member for a long time, will be definitely determined by a commit tee of high church officials which met last night to hear the charges against Mrs. Clark brought by Rev. Dr. A. A. Morrison, rector of Trinity parish, who recently denied her the privilege of a communicant in his church. Bishop Charles Scadding, head of the Western Oregon diocese, was to have been present at the hearing last night, but did not attend, explaining that the matter has not been brought to his attention officially, and that unless one of the interested parties appeals to him he may not be called into consultation at all. Dr. Shnpnon la Presiding. Rev. Dr. J. E. H". Simpson, rector of St. Mark's parish, is head of the com mittee of Episcopal rectors who are considering the facts in the case as presented to them last night. His as sociates are Rev. B. E. Lee, of Salem, and Rev. Mr. Rosenmuller, of Astoria. The facts relating to the recent in cident when Dr. Morrison excommuni cated Mrs. Clark were told the com mittee. Dr. Morrison, it is charged by Mrs. Clark, declared her "an obstreperous person. a mischief-maker and a nuisance in the parish." This is al leged to have occurred at a recent meeting, and was followed, it is said, by the rector holding open the door as if to indicate that Mrs. Clark should leave the church. Mrs. Clark Still Attends Church. Mrs. Clark has been a regular par ishioner and points out that she pays pew- rent in Trinity Church.. She has been attending services regularly since the incident occurred.

The committee of rectors who heard these allegations last night took the entire matter under advisement, and will make a final report, it is under stood, before the end of the present week. - 36TH BIRTHDAY OBSERVED Nine Portland Councils Attend Cele bration of Royal Arcanum.
