Frederick C Howe, the Federal Immigration Commissioner at New York, was at tacked today by Senator Lodge, the Republican leader, in his speech ap proving President Wilson's rejection of Germany's peace feeler, as a writer cf articles which the Senator charac terized as pro-German propaganda. Howe's book "Why War?" and -a recent article by Howe in. Harper's magazine, the Republican Senator de clared, were contrary to American ideals and at direct variance with the principles enunciated in President Wilson's Baltimore speech. The book. Senator Lodge pointed out. was among those barred from soldiers libraries by Secretary Baker s orde along with others by George Sylveste Viereck. Hugo Munsterberg and Emma Goldman. "I understand it treats. the war as directed to a settlement of certain economic questions." said the P.cpub 41 can senator. Idea Deaoaaresl si Abasird. The Idea that we should be sending Cor youth to France to be killed to get Come trade advantage somewhere! "If this Congress and the President had done it on grounds like that. It would have been a crime. To put out such stuff as that seems Intolerable and It Is only one of the books that have been wisely excluded." Reading from Howe's magazine ar ticle passages which appeared to con tend for Germany's rights in the East, particularly along the Bagdad Rail road, the Senator exclaimed: "Are we In this war to see that Ger many can build herself up in the East by the Bagdad Railroad and that she Is protected in her trade rights in the Mediterranean? We are In this ' to prevent her from ever again having the strength to break out on the world. But that is there. "Let me read as a contrast what the President said In his speech, at Balti more on this very point. Violation of Policy Charged. After quoting from the President's Address, Senator Lodge continued: "This man. whose books are excluded from the camps by the Secretary of War ... is the Commissioner of Immigration at the port of New York, holding a great and important office under this Administration when he is publishing stuff like that in flagrant contravention of the policy laid down by the President. "I am showing how far this German propaganda extends; how subtle, how persuasive It ts; how you find It even among the officers of the Government find it in the libraries of our- sol diers; find It everywhere."

Curing his incumbency bond issues were approved for sewer and water im provements and the money from the sales of the bonds passed through Blue's hands as Treasurer. He issued check's against the accounts and gen- erally handled the funds of the city. It is charged that he wrongfully convert ed $2365 of the city's funds to his own use and failed to pay over any part of the amount to his successor. It is aliased that Blue left in Sep-' tember, 1916. On March 16, this year. Judge Kelly issued a bench warrant for Blue's arrest. His arrest took place at Ketchikan. Alaska, and he was placed under $5000 bail, later being brought here. A complication has arisen in connec tion with the case from the fact that the books of West Salem were experted by A. A. Cunningham, an expert ac countant, now in the employ of the Internal Revenue Service at Seattle. Cunningham was to have been a wit ness for the state, but to leave his du ties there will require permission from the Commissioner of Internal Revenue at Washington. District Attorney Gehlhar has telegraphed the commis sioner in an effort to secure permission for Cunningham to come to Salem, but so far has received no satisfactory an swer. The District Attorney also has telegraphed to Representative Hawley to get action on the matter of Cunning ham's release for witness duty, as he is considered an important witness for the state, in fact the chief witness for the prosecution.
