WASHINGTON-, June 28. In a vigor ous spech in the House today. Repre sentative Mann of Illinois, the Repub lican leader, attacked Attorney-General McReynolds for postponing- the white slave cases in San Francisco, criticised Commissioner-General Cam inetti, of the Immigration Bureau, father of one of the defendants, and declared that District Attornoy McNab had "made the President and Attorney General not only to beg the question but eat their words." 'Frightened rabbits," Mr. Mann said, "never grot away quicker than the President and the Attorney-General when this matter was brought up." Officials Mere C'alspawa. Mr. Mann declared that the Presi dent and the Attorney-General had "permitted themselves to be used to prevent the enf orceraent of a great moral reform law," and insisted that the Administration's excuse for post ' ponement "offered to cast ignominy on one official in the Department of Jus tice who has bravery, couraare and knowledge of how to do things." was worse than the offense. . "The young- Caminetti- is a youthful boy of 27 years with, I believe, several children," continued the speaker, "and it was desirable to have his father at the trial to protect him in his guile less innocence, having only seven law yers to do so. His father had been ap pointed Commissioner of Immigration, one of the duties of which office is to enforce both the Mann and Bennett white slave laws in reference to the deportation of aliens brought here for prostitution a fine man to place in to leave his office in order to go to the Hide of his 27-year-old boy under trial for a white slave offense. Action Called Hypocrisy. "The action now taken is pure hy pocrisy. Manliness such as I would have expected from the Christian mor al gentleman occupying the White House would have required him to ask the District Attorney to withdraw his resignation and try these cases, he be ing most familiar with them. They have accepted the resignation of the District Attorney and dismissed the. of ficer who worked up these cases. 'I suspect the elder Caminetti and probably the junior Caminetti may be quite willing to have the case speedily tried, when the few men who were fa miliar with the case and who have worked it up are fired out of the ser vice, before anyone else has time to jcai u ii ma Lin-'umsuncea . or ine case." Mr. Mann charges that the -new cabi net officers seemed to have an exag gerated importance in their own eyes and an exaggerated idea of the in fluence of each. Postponements Made Kasy. "A former member of this House" (Secretary Wllunn). h "ti. phones to the Attorney-General's of fice and the Attorney-General says that , 'without stopping to go through the ; files and so refresh my recollection , wiiTri mug any particular circum ' stances of the case, I sent the follow ' ing telegram to the District Attorney, j ordering him to postpone the case." "What sort of a Department of Jus , tire is it? What kind of an Attorney General is it? No doubt the Attorney -General is a great lawyer and a great , man. But if the Democratic Adminls j tratibn intends to proceed upon the ! theory that when a Cabinet officer tel , ephones the Attorney-General, or when , some wealthy defendant, as happened 1 in the Western Fuel case, walks into the office of the Attorney-General and asks to have a case postponed, it is done, there will not be many Demo cratic administrations in the next hun , dred years." , Special Counsel Aaslsrned. Attorney-General McReynolds late : to-day retained Thomas E. Hayden, ex ' president of the San Francisco board of : education, as one of the counsel for ihe Government in the prosecution of ' the Caminetti-D'ggs and Western Fuel : cases. The Attorney-General has not definitely determined who else will be retained, it is announced, but is con- ; hidering the names of several promi nent ianrornia attorneys. However, , siattnew I. Hum van is regarded as cer tain to be employed. L,imitd funds probably will prevent the department from retaining more man two special prosecutors. Mr. Mc Reynolds had considered asking Francis J. Meney to take up the case. Mr. Sullivan prosecuted Ruef In San Fran- ciro after Mr. Heney was shot. Mr. Hayden. who is in Washington, will leave for San Francisco shortly. He has been strongly indorsed as the successor or Mr. McNab. Officials to night were unable to say whether he intimately would be appointed. HAVDEX FORMER EDUCATOR Sullivan Once Prominent in Prose cution of Graft Cases. PAN FRANCISCO, June 26. Thomas K. Hayden, selected today for appoint ment as special prosecutor in the Tiigrs-Caminettl and Western Fuel Company cases, was formerly president ot the fc.an Francisco Board of Educa tion and before coming to this state was Superintendent of Schools at Watertown, N. Y. Matt I. Sullivan is a leading attorney of this city, and was prominent in the prosecution of the notorious municipal graft cases several years ago. Mr. Hayden is now in Washington. Mr. Sullivan -said to muni ne naa received no official no tice of his selection and would await such notification before deciding as to acceptance of the post. Judge Van Fleet of the United States District Court today appointed Benja mln Ij.

METHOD CALLED 'RUSSIAN' Speer, of Georgia District, Tells Iowa Lawyers New Censors of Bench Are Xot Required Even to Be Attorneys. SIOUX CITY, la., June 26. Emory Speer, United. States judge for the Southern district of Alabama. In an ad dress before the . Iowa ..State Bar. As sociation today, bitterly criticised the Department of Justice for exercising espionage" over Judges of Federal Courts. He denounced this practice as striking directly at the independence of the judiciary and as a method "more Russian than American." "Is it not, indeed, intolerable," he said, "that the lawyer who is the lead ing counsel for Ihe Government shall have within his power and control the right to question the honor and char acter, official and personal. of the Judge upon whom determinations of ell National jurisdiction must depend? True, the Attorney-General can act at any time and make any accusation he thinks proper, as can any citizen, but can he constitutionally exert his powers, detail the officials, utilize the machinery and expend the money of the Government in inquisitorial ex aminations of a judge, appointed by the President and confirmed bv the Senate and who holds his office during his good behavior? Lawful Right Questioned. "Where is the constitutional right or statutory authority? Does not this commit to a lawyer on one side of a multitude of cases the right to in vestigate the title to his office of Judge ana it xnis could ever be properly done, should it ever be done without notice to the judge and information to him of the complaints against him? Would even the President, with all his initia tive and power, attempt this, and if the Attorney-General has no such power. can his examiner lawfully ao- pear a.t the court and officially enter upon the Inquisition of a judge? finally. If there ever could be a shred of propriety in such action, should it ever be done when the court is in-actual session and when the judge should be undisturbed in those absorbing, intense, and exacting intellectual efforts and labor on which the rights of property and of liberty must depend? Who is the examiner of the Department of Justice? This critic and censor of judges need not be practitioner or even a lawyer. Judicial Chastity Offended. "This method is very, very recent. I dare declare that no other could be more offensive to the chastity of judi cial vigor. With experience of four years in the service of my state and 34 years in the service of my country, I declare that no other proceeding can be so destructive of the confidence and support accorded the Judiciary by the masses of the people. It is a con tinental and not an American method. Aye, it is more Russian than Ameri can. Then too, there is no end to it. "Shall this un-American method con tinue? By It and similar aggressions upon the dependence of the judiciary shall the august fabric, which Marshall and the great judges who held with him have builded, amid the cursings of the mob, the Jeers of the hoodlums, amid the mouthings of the demagogue, crumble into nothingness? The inde pendence of the judges is the chief felicity or the Constitution. "Forget not, my brother, that the dignity of our noble profession de pends upon the undented purity and the righteous authority of the courts wherein you are the priests of justice." formed at "Dana Beach," the Dana Summer home. It was an "ethical mar riage," the second in the Dana family. Just a year and a week ago the "ethical bride's" brother, Edmund Trowbridge Dana, married in a similar manner Miss Jessie Holliday, the English painter. The bride is an ardent Socialist and suffragist. Miss Dana recently came into promi nence through her radical views on marriage, which she expressed with startling frankness. "Marriage is a calling that should be studied as one would any profes sion," she said, in an interview last May, "such as nursing, for example. It is a definite work, yet few women are really prepared for the bringing up of children. I have made a close study of eugenics, and am of the opinion that I am fitted for the marriage state with all its duties." Miss Dana gave her friends a distinct shock by declaring her firm belief In trial marriages as a means of Im proving the race. BRAZIL LEARNS LESSON ENVOY MUCH INTERESTED RECLAMATION PROJECTS.

Dr. Muller said to day that he had acquired sufficient knowledge concerning intensive agri culture to prove of lasting benefit to his own people.

Running through the great agricul tural section of Utah today, Dr. Muller iook especial notice of reclamation and irrigation projects along the line and made extensive notes of the methods used. "My visit to your country has been one succession of surprises," said Dr. Muller. "I would that several hundred of our farmers could come to this sec tion to study country methods of agri culture. We of Brazil need the verv methods you are using in order to de velop our own agriculture. I hope to return to Tjtah next year with my fam ily to give the matter further atten tion. It may be that some of my countrymen will make the trip with e.

Treasury Department officials and a committee of bankers took part, but despite earnest appeals that the Federal reserve board to con trol the proposed new currency system be increased and that the bankers re-' ceive representation, no change in this provision was made.

Republican Leader Mann declared the latter resolution nrobablv would lean to "more Democratic waste." Mr. Mann attacked the methods used in preparing the bill Introduced today. He objected to the statement of Preaiden Wilson that the members of the bark ing and currency committees had been consulted in framing the bill. "The President." he said, "was' a lit tie loose as to his facts or a little or less as to his language. . The members of the committee were not consulted. xne uemocratic members were."

Republican member of the Senate cur rency committee and a former member or the National Monetary Commission, Issued a statement today in which he urged Immediate action toward curren cy reform, but criticised certain fea tures of the new Administration bilL "I think the worst feature of the Dill is the Federal reserve board, as i constituted, and the extravagan powers given to it," he said.
