March 4. Special. By a strictly partisan vote, 162 to 142, the house today adopted a resolution offered by Representative Tink-ham of Massachusetts, authorizing the judiciary committee to investigate Attorney General Palmer's conduct in concurring in the proposal submitted by the United States district attorney of New Organs, which permitted the Louisiana sugar planters to fix a price of 17 and 18 cents for last year's sugar crop. The resolution not only calls for an investigation into the facts surrounding this transaction, but empowers the committee to inquire whether the department of justice gave the sugar growers immunity from prosecution against profiteering and demands under what authority of law the department of justice agreed upon the sugar prices that could be charged, which, Mr. Tinkham avers, caused retail sugar prices to soar 9 and 10 cents a pound.

Complete elimination of the forces of Gen. Denikine in south Russia has been brought about, according to expert interpretation of the war office advices of the past week's operations. With the Reds in possession of portions of the Trikhoretskaya-Petrovsk railway, Gen. Denikine's only lateral means of communication by which it would be possible to ship troops to the weakened points of his line is paralyzed and contact with the Caspian fleet is imperiled. The Red cavalry and armored trains are concentrating on the railway center of Ekaterinodar, making worse this feature of the situation.

The entire collapse of Denikine's resistance is considered a matter of a short time. Feril to IJritish Lands. This, according to the war office report, revives the fears of a menace to the British mid-Asian interests. Additional cause for alarm, says the report, is that the bolsheviki may undertake aggressive steps in Tersia. This alarm arises from the reports of the new Red administration established at Mery, Trans-Caspia, under Gen.

Kuropatkin. This administration is uncomfortably near the troublesome elements in Afghanistan. Another former czarist commander who is reported to have appeared at the head of a Red force is (Jen. Brussiloff, former commander in chief of the Russian armies. He is said to be at Skobeleff operating against the Ferghana insurgents.

At the outbreak of the world war Brussiloff commanded the Russians in their attacks on Galicia. Kuban Revolt Against Denikine. Sir Hamar Greenwood, undersecretary for home affairs, said in the house of commons today that, according to the latest British information, the province of Kuban in northern Caucasia was revolting against Gen. Denikine. A large detachment of the Russian volunteer army under Gen.

I'radow has reached the 1'olish lines near Ka-menetz-I'odolsk. says a London Times dispatch from Warsaw. These forces are the remains of Gen. Denikine's corps from west of the Dnieper, which have been without a base since the bol-shvik occupation of Odessa. detachment numbers 6.000 men, mostly of the cavalry, and is accompanied by as many women and children.

Almost three-quarters of the company is reported suffering from typhus.

Official announcement of the inauguration of one of the greatest gold import movements in the history of the United States will be made within forty-eight hours, it was learned today. Present plans contemplate the shipment from Europe, principally from lingland and France, of no less than $230,000,000 spread over a number of months.

The current shipments of gold to Argentina dwindle into insignificance In comparison with the determination of England and France to ship enough gold here to restore tiie credit of British and French outstanding in the United States and to create dollars in this market. While positive information retarding1 the start of a huge gold import movement was not obtained until after the close of today's market, the Je-rcign exchange market had the most abrupt upturn since the long avalanche of declines' began.

The shipping board steamship Poughkeepsie, with thirty-four members of the crew in irons, guarded by bluejackets from destroyers, arrived today at Hampton roads. Department of justice agents brought the prisoners to Norfolk tonight for arraignment before the United States commissioner.

Cable dispatches from Hamilton, Bermuda, said members of the crew of the steamer had mutinied Feb. 5 when their articles expired and the United States consul general sustained the contention of the. captain that they must work the ship to the port of discharge in the United States. The Poughkeepsie had been towed into Hamilton in distress Jan. 22.

A temporary crew was secured and soven days ago the Poughkeepsie sailed for this port. The delay in arrival was due to a broken propeller blade. A detachment of bluejackets remained on the steamer to guard the men under arrest. United States Commissioner Stephenson remanded the men to jail pending a hearing. V'lD Dodse et Issue.

In explanation of his speech, Mr. Campbell said subsequently that he had in mind the impeachment of the attorney general for unlawful acts." Rep. Garrett of Tennessee, who made the chief speech for tlie opposition, charged the Republicans with cowardice and challenged them to take the open, brave course and rise on the floor and impeach the attorney general." Public Is "King" of U. S.

Attorney General Palmer, in a political speech here tonight, the first since his candidacy for the Democratic presidential nomination was openly avowed, sought to restore with labor any friendly relations that may have been disturbed by his injunction suit in the coal strike. The attorney general, speaking before the National Press club, made relations of capital and labor his principal theme. There need be no restriction of the rights of men to strike," hfe said, and no compulsory arbitration of differences if provision is made for the American public to be advised of all facts in relation to every dispute so large as to affect in its consequences a considerable portion of the public. Public opinion is the only monarch. Should Never Reach Strike Stage.

All the government sought to do in the coal strike was to insist that both sides should be heard before an impartial tribunal so that the country would not be made to suffer. While the government may properly exercise its right to protect the vast body of the American people from a general tieup in the production or transportation of the necessaries of life, it ought never to be necessary to exercise that right. It is a shame that labor was ever forced to the necessity of taking the strong stand it has been compelled to take for its own advancement. Now that both capital and labor recognize each other's power, the thing to do in the public interest is to build the machinery which will make it possible for both sides to have their claims pre-senteto the public." Big Pay for Grain Men. Replying tp a letter from Senator Hitchcock, the Democratic leader of the senate, Julius H.

Barnes, head of the United States Grain corporation, admitted' today that there are fifteen men on the corporation pay roll at present drawing salaries of $25,000 a year each. The high salaried men, Mr. Barnes explained, served without any remuneration whatever during the war and until July 1 last. When President Wilson asked to continue the service administering the war pledge guarantee. Mr.

Barnes said that it was necessary to give the men salaries- ln order to retain them and their remuneration began July 1, 1919. U. S. German Bond Sellers Caught "Short" on Orders? New York, March 4. Special.
