EXPIAIUS REMARKS
Says He Did Not Score Sen
ators in Comment on Hand
* book Case.
To the Editor of Tlie Star:
The Star of Wednesday, under
the. headline, "Scores Senators in
Handbook Cases," quoted me as "say
ing:, among other things, that I had
received numerous communications
from United: States senators asking:
that the charges against Tallant be
continued or dropped, and that
"United States senators have 110 right
whatever to interfere in the trial of
cases in this court. I- will ncft stand
for ?it and they might as well know
now as ever. This practice must stop
and I will personally see that it does."
This article is incorrect and mis
leading. I did not say "I had received'
numerous communications from sena- i
tors asking that the charges against
Tallant be continued or dropped." nor'
have I ever received any such commu
nications. The defendant in the easel
to which ^vou refer did not ask to j
have his case continued or dropped. 1
but upon the contrary appeared and
entered a plea of guilty and had his
case disposed of. i~did say, "This de
fendant has had several* United States
senators attempt to comnlunlcate
with me about his case. 1 think this
is a bad practice and don't approve of
it. United States senators have no
more to do with the judgments in1
cases in this court than truck drivers
in the streets have, and the sooner j
everybody around here finds it out the!
better."
I did not, as stated in the headline!
over your article, "score" any sena- j
tors. United States senators and other
prominent officials here are subject
to frequent and great annoyance by
people chained with offenses impor-j
tuning them to use. their influence!
with the judges in regard to sen
tences. Senators and other such of
ficials are as reluctant to engage inj
this as the judges are to have them
t to do, but sometimes they do yield
j to the importunities and make such
I communications. 1 regard this as a
1 bad practice and think it ought to be^
j stopped.
; In a community in wfcieh there are
J so many powerful and influential men,1
who c6me intimately into contact
with the masses of the people, it is
highly important that the belief
should not exist that all that is nec
essary to avoid the penalty of vio
lated law is to have the influence of
some powerful official.

CONFER WITH MONDELL
ON U. S. PATENT OFFICE
I Lawyer* and Manufacturers Call
Conditions Deplorably and
Ask Belief.
The deplorable situation at the United
Stated patent office, where the trained
workers are quitting the service, and I
It Is Impossible to get the right kind !
of examiners to take their places, was
emphasised at a conference of lawyers
and manufacturers with House Leader
Mondell.
A large delegation. Including spokes
men from tliS patent law committees
of many bar associations, co-operated
with representatives of technical and
scientific societies in making the ap
; peal to Congress for prompt action on
ia relief measure now watting on the
I House calendar.
Warning was given that the govern
ment Is about to lose the service's of
the few remaining expert examiners
because of Inadequate salaries, and
that at a time when Speeding up of in
dustries is imperative, the manufac
turers are being delayed Indefinitely
because the jiatent office cannot give
them service.
Mr. Mondell told khe delegation he!
would not press pending bills for that
purpose while the project of reclassi
fying government employes in all de
j partments was under way. The dele
gation told the republican leader that
under the reclassification bill relief
could not be obtained for nearly two
years, and carried their case to As
sistant Secretary Finney of the ln
! terior Department.
I The lawyers also intend to appeal to
President Harding.
The same committee of patent law
yers and technical and scientific men
had a conference, with Chairman
Lampert of the House subcommittee,
who made the favorable report on
the proposed1 legislation and who has
been endeavoring to secure action
upon it In the House. Chairman
l^ampert assured the delegation that
he would call up the hill in the House
for action as soon as he could get
consideration.
HANDIWORK ON EXHIBIT.
An exhibition of handiwork by for
eign children opened yesterday at the
Americanization house. 129 Schotts
