MR. DENNIS REFUSES TO SEE SUFFRAGISTSIMPATIENT at the long delay in the settlement of the Burke sugar prr-.fif case, the just Government League of Maryland, throughMrs. Theodore \V. Forbes, chairman, telegraphed A. Mitchell Palmer last Friday and asked for an interview with him. Mr. Palmer's secretary replied by letter that Mr. Palmer was out of the city, but that as soon as he returned the matter of the delegation from the Just Government League would be brought to his attention.Meanwhile a resolution urging that the case be reopened had been unanimously passed by the Just Government League, and many attempts to secure an interview with Mr. Samuel K. Dennis had proved unavailing.Mr. Dennis was either always “busy” or was “in court,” and his secretary could give no information as to just when Mr. Dennis could see the suffragists. On Tuesday morning, however, the Just Government League delegation decided that Mr. Dennis should at least receive a copy of their resolution, and accordingly a committee consisting of Mrs. Donald R. Hooker, Airs. C. J. Keller, Mrs. Frank F. Ramey and Mrs. Forbes called at Mr. Dennis’ office at II o’clock. Although Air. Dennis was in his office at the time, his secretary brought back word that it would be impossible for Mr. Dennis to grant the suffragists an interview, so the resolution was left in the secretary’s hands. The text of the resolution is as follows:Whereas the evidence in the Burke sugar profiteering case is sufficient to call for thorough investigation and a public trial; andWhereas the interests of the public can be conserved only through the impartial handling of all cases of suspected profiteering; therefore, be itResolved, That the members of the Just Government League call upon Attorney-General A. Mitchell Palmer and United States District Attorney Samuel K. Dennis to reopen the Burke case and bring it to a just settlement ; and be it furtherResolved, That the members of the Just Government League express their confidence and trust in Mr. William H. Killian, Fair Price Commissioner for Maryland, and urge that his righteous stand in the Burke case be endorsed and commended.
