WILSON THROWS THRIFT
LOBBY INTO A PANIC
President's Warning to Coun
try Brings Confusion in
Camp of Interests
(By Asiociated Press.)
WASHINGTON. May 29.—The small
army of “tariff lobbyists,” which has
been occupying Washington since the
Underwood bill passed the house, was
in confusion today because of Presi
dent Wilson’s vigorous attack on the
"numerous, industrious and insidious
lobby.”
Many assumed the president's state
ment referred to them, although he
called none by name, and they began
issuing statements to justify their po
sition.
Senator Simmons, chairman of the
finance committee, reiterated that the
lobbyists were not getting very far,
adding that never in his legislative ex
perience had he seen so determined
and so expensive a lobby.
• President Wilson’s lobby charge that
was brought to the formal notice of
• the senate yesterday through a resolu
tion by Senator Cummins demanding an
immediate investigation by a commit
tee .of five senators, to determine the
identity of all persons who had made
efforts to present arguments or bring
influence to bear in favor of changes
in the tariff law. A similar resolu
tion was introduced in the house by
Representative Tavenner, of Illinois.
Senator Qummins attempted to get
immediate action on his resolution,
which would authorize the greatest in
vestigation or so-called lobbying”
ever undertaken by congress.
Senator Gallinger at first objected
to the resolution as “absurd.” Later,
he withdrew his objection, but on de
mand of Senator Owen, the Cummins
resolution finally went over for one
day without action.
The proposed investigation would re
quire all senators to give names of
persons who had approached or writ
ten them in the interest of tariff
changes; would request President Wil
son to furnish names of persons re
ferred to in his statement yesterday
that a great and powerful lobby was
at work and would authorize the sen
atorial committee to determine whether
the action of any lobbyist who might
be discovered was proper or improper.
“It is absurd to demand that the
names be given of men who have talked
with senators about the tariff bill,” de
clared Senator Gallinger.
“Men are here who have a right to
be here, because they represent the
great interests of the country that are
imperiled by proposed changes in the
tariff. To call them lobbyists is ab
surd,” said Mr. Gallinger.
Senator Cummins declared he nad
presented the demand for an investi
gation becfluse members of the sen
ate had been put in a very “unenvia
ble positiqn.”
“I recognize the right of any inter
est affected by pending legislation to
appear and offer argument,” he said.
“I do not know that any lobbyists are
here. None have approached me. But
•we have a tariff bill before us. A
great many men are here, suppose,
for the purpose of putting legitimate
arguments before the senate and its
committee affecting that legislation. *
“Now, it is said by' the highest au
thority, that a lobby of great propor
tions, employing means of the most
insidious and illegitimate character, is
engaged in the effort to secure changes
to the bill as now proposed. The pub
lic has been led tS believe' and will
believe that if any changes are made
they will have been due to their in
fluence.
“I don’t know what a lobbyist is.
If it is the man who appears to make
legitimate arguments, I am for him.
But the* country has & right to rknow
what influences are surrounding the
senate of the United States, to know
who is here and who is attempting
by argument, by influence or by per*\
suasion, to change the tariff rates.”
FORMER MEMBERS OF
CABINET TESTIFY TO
“$350,000,000 ANNUALLY
TO THE SHIPPING TRUST”
ANNISTON, Ala., May 29.—“The
United States is annually paying a
tribute of $350,000,000 to the shipping
trust, and thereby we are cutting our
own throat in more ways than one,”
says Colonel Sidnpy Story, student of
the merchant marine and recent witness
before the shipping trust probe in
Washington, who has just returned
from a world tour, during which he
made an exhaustive study of the prob
lem. He is now the guest of M. A.
Foute, manager of the Anniston hotel.
l@n Welcome
Mothers Friend
A Duty that Every Man Owes to Those
who Perpetuate the Race.
It is just as important that men should
know of progressive methods in advance of
motherhood. The suf
fering incident t o
child-bearing can be
easily avoided by hav
ing at hand a bottle
of Mother’s Friend.
This is a penetrat
ing, external applica
tion that relieves all
tension upon the mus
cles and enables them
to expand without painful strain upon the
■ ligaments. Thus there is avoided nervous
spells; the tendency to nausea or morning
sickness is counteracted, and a bright, hap
py disposition is preserved that reflects
wonderfully upon the charcter and tem
perament of the little one soon to come.
You can obtain a bottle of “Mother’s
Friend” at any drug store at $1.00. It
preserves the mother’s health, enables her
to make a complete recovery, and thus with
renewed strength she will eagerly devote
herself to the care and attention which
mean so much to the welfare of the child.

Robert Bacon, Truman H,
Newberry, Gifford Pinchot,
Newspaper Men and Many
Others Testify in Libel Suit
(By Associated Press.)
MARQUETTE, Mich., May 29.—In
troduction of further testimony to show
the abstemious habits or the plaintiff
was resumed today in the libel suit of
Thqodore Roosevelt against George A.
Newett, publisher of the “Iron Ore,”
of Ishpeming, Mich., who charged him
with drunkenness.
John Callan O’Laughlin, a Washing
ton correspondent, was the first wit
ness.
Colonel Roosevelt entered the court
room with George Shiras, his host here,
and took his accustomed seat with a
row of spectators inside the railing.
His gaze turned upon the jury and then
upon O’Laughlin as the latter was
sworn.
During court proceedings the former
president sits quietly caressing his
heavy watch chain. He does it slowly
and reflectively rather than nervously.
Mr. Newett, the defendant, came into
oourt with his counsel. He is very ill
but his ruddy countenance hid this
from all but those who knew him well.
He sat looking straight in front of
him and not at any one in particular,
utterly motionless as he has sat thus
far in- the proceedings.
O’LAUGHLIN’S TESTIMONY.
turning to Europe from his African
hunt, wAs obliged to attend banquets
and receptions, he never indulged in
champagne to an immoderate degree,
was the testimony of O’Laughlin, who
said he had been associated with Col
onel Roosevelt for twenty years.
The witness said he met the former
president on the night after the Afri
can hunt and accompanied him as far
as Paris, acting as his secretary.
O’Laughlin also accompanied the colonl
on various campaign trips.
“During your twenty years’ experi
ence with Colonel Roosevelt, have you
ever seen him in the slightest degree
under the influence of liquor?”
“I not only never saw him under the
Influence of liquor but it seems abso
lutely silly to me to have any one sug
gest the fact that he ever was,” replied
O’Laughlin.
“At banquets have you ever seen him
drink any liquor?”
“At banquets he sometimes took a
glass of white wine. I never saw him
drink more than one glass of cham
pagne.”
OFLaughlin described the various
dinners, official and otherwise, given
at Washington.
•'Will you tell this jury whether Mr.
Roosevelt mixed his drinks or not.”
NO MIXED DRINKS.
“If he took champagne he never took
anything else.”
A question involving the custom of
former presidents in regard to liquors
at banquets caused objection by coun
sel for the defense. The court held it
was competent for the plaintiff to show
whether Colonel Roosevelt followed
custom in the use of liquor in the
White House.
O’Laughlin said his first experience
with presidents began with the second
Cleveland administration, and Colonel
Roosevelt followed the precedent of
Presidents Cleveland and McKinley in
serving wines at public dinners.
“Are you not in charge of some work
of the Progressive party?” O’Laugh
lin was asked on cross-examination.
“I am not,” he answered.
O’Laughlin said Colonel Roosevelt
had appointed him assistant secretary
of state, and he had gone on a mission
to Japan for the Roosevelt administra
tion. He said he .went to Japan the
same year that Colonel Roosevelt order
ed the Atlantic fleet to the Pacific
“Now, you mention that Colonel
Roosevelt sent the fleet to the Pacific.
Was that measure taken because of the
relations between this country and Ja
pan? Was it to prevent war?
“Well, yes, It was perfectly evident
that Japan would not go to war with
this country if it was apparent that
this country was more powerful. It
was one of the measures taken by Col
onel Roosevelt to prevent war. It was
a measure of peace.”
WHAT REPORTERS THOUGHT.
“I will ask you if in 1912 and for
some time prior, there *vas not a gen
eral report amonfg newspaper men that
Colonel Roosevelt drank to excess?”
asked Attorney Belden.
O’Laughlin, shaking his finger at the
lawyer, replied;
“There was not a reputable corres
pondent in Washington but who thought
the report was silly; too absurd to*be
regarded or- repeated.”
Counsel on both sides were on their
feet with regard to this reply and the
jury was excluded.
Attorney Pound said he found the
answer “embarrassing,” and Beldln ex
plained that he proposed to show what
other newspapers had to say on the sub
ject.
Former members of his cabinet, his in
timate friends and men who were asso
ciated with him in his travels were
to testify today on behalf of Theodore
RooBevelt in his libel suit against
George A. Newett, owner of an Ishpem
ing newspaper, which published an edi
torial accusing Colonel Roosevelt of be
ing* drunk.
Today, it was expected, would be de
voted entirely to the oral testimony of
Colonel Roosevelt’s witnesses. These
include Robert Bacon, former secretary
of state; Truman H. Newberry, former
secretary of the navy; Gifford Pinchot,
James R. Garfield, Regis H. Post, for
mer governor of Porto Rico; Lawrence
Abbott, W. Emlen Roosevelt, William
Loeb, Jr., and newspaper correspond
ents who have accompanied the colonel
on many of his campaign trips.
All of these witnesses are to testify
as to Colonel Roosevelt’s habits with
reference to liquor in his official and
private life.
James H. Pound, chief counsel for
the plaintiff, made it known that many
depositions are to be read after the
hearing of oral testimony, which pre
cluded the possibility of completing the
case on behalf of Colonel Roosevelt be
fore tomorrow.
Court will take a recess over Friday.
Many of the lawyers believe the case
cannot go to the jury before the middle
of next week.
Attorney Belden stated it was the in
tention of the defense to ask future
witnesses in an attempt to show the
position of the defense, that there was
in existence a general report amount
ing to a general reputation that Colo
nel Roosevelt does use liquors and
sometimes to excess, that these reports
were published in newspapers and that
Colonel Roosevelt read these reports
and this charge had never been con
tradicted by him; that the defendant
published the report of the former presi
dent’s reputed excessive use of intoxi
cants, believing it to be true and not
with any malice.
CHICAGO POLICE PROBE
DEATH OF MYSTERY MAN
H. E, Morrison Was Involved
in Mystery Which May Rival
That of Johann Hoch
(By Associated Press.)
CHICAGO, May 29.—The coroner will
be asked today to investigate the 'death
of Homer Edward Morrison, who was
involved in a mystery which may rival
that of Johann Hoch.
Morrison died last Thursday at a
hospital of what was diagnosed as
acute nephritis, but Dr. Darwin B.
Pound, who will demand the inquiry,
now suspects his patient was poisoned.
Two women already have appeared
who say they were defrauded by a man
named Morrison, who posed as a real
estate dealer, and the police have a
record of a third woman, who claims
alsQ to have been victimized.
Mrs. Pearl Devitt, a widbw, asserts
she gave Morrison $1,600 upon his
promise to marry her. This money in-
eluded her husband’s insurance.
The second woman says she was
Louise Beck before she married Mor
rison three years ago at Hillsdale,
Mich. She states that she gave him
$15,000.
Mrs. Devitt appealed to the police on
Saturday to find Morrison. She had
gone to his rooms at 367 Chicago ave
nue, where neighbors told her Morrison
was dead and that his furniture had
been moved out by a woman.
The police then found that Morrison
had resided at 4919 Winchester avenue
with a woman who says she was his
wife. She knew nothing of his apart
ments on Chicago avenue.
“I thought I was Mrs. Morrison. I
may be mistaken,” she said.
In his pocket after his death I
.... . ^ .. found the Chicago avenue address,
Although Colonel Roosevelt, on re- where 1 was toW * ls thinss had bee ,;
removed by another woman. I know
now that there were many women in
his life. He had his photographs
taken in large lots, and always got
rid of them at once.”

WHY GIRLS LEAVE SCHOOL
IS BEING INVESTIGATED
WASHINGTON?°May Why girls
leave school” Is the title of a bulletin
issued today by the United States bureau
of education, based on .r.n Inquiry made
by Its experts into trade and labor con
ditions among girls in Worcester, Mass.
The claim that children are forced to
leave school to work because their pa-
the money is repudiated by
the officials. of the bureau. They found
that from one-half to three-fourths of the
girls at work in the factories could have
had further schooling if they had desired
or if their parents had insisted upon it.
Various reasons were assigned by the
girls for their refusal to attend school
longer, according to the bureau. Some
said “they did not like school,” others
‘‘could not get along with the teacher
and were not promoted,” while many
simply “wanted to go to work.” Only
17 per cent of the girls questioned had
finished the grammar schools while most
of them had left sixth and seventh
grades.
“Conditions such as were found,” says
the bulletin, "emphasized the imperative
need of school training in a practical
school for girls between the ages of thir
teen and fifteen. Not getting the kind of
training they might have liked and would
have profited by they joined the army of
shifting discontent girls that go from' one
monotonous factory job to another and
because of their-lack of training, rarely
rise above the class of low paid, unskilled
workers.”

Lee W, Dutro Charged With
Soliciting Campaign Funds
From Clerks
Did This Man Leave
Five Widows and Two
Fiancees to Mourn?
CHICAGO, May 29.—At least two
widows and a fiancee are mourning the
death of Homer E. Morrison, and the
police are working- in clews which fnay
lead them to three other women who
can claim the man as their late hus
band.
Morrison died last Thursday of what
may have been poisoning:.
Two of his wives have complained
that he took $17,000 of their money,
and a widow, who says he promised
to marry her, admits she gave him
$1,600.
Mrs. Homer E. Morrison says she
married Morrison three years ago; Mrs.
R. W. Thompson says she married the
same man under the name of Thomp
son, seven years ago; Mrs. Pearl Mc-
Divitt aserts Morrison promised to
marry her next month.
These three women lived on the
same car line without knowing the
existence of each other. Sometimes
Morrison visited all three on the same
day.
Under the name of Thompson, the
man posed as a claim adjuster, but for
seven years kept Mrs. Thompson in the
dark regarding his place of business.
To Mrs. Morrison he was a real estate
dealer, but she never knew where his
office was. By day he was manager of
a rooming house on Chicago avenue,
where he never was seen at night.
From what Mrs. Thompson has said,
the police suspect that Morrison took
poison, and they are gathering evidence
to present to the coroner.
MEMPHIS, Tenn., May 29.—Lee W.
Dutro, postmaster at Memphis, for the
past twelve years, today was indicted
by the federal grand jury on the charge
of soliciting campaign funds in 1910.
It is stated similar charges against
Newell Sanders, of Chattanooga, form
er Uniter States senator, and Henry O.
True, leader of Republicans in West
Tennessee, were ignored.
The specific charge against Postmas
ter Dutro is that he violated postal
code No. 18, when he obtained a $10
contribution from W. F. Roberts, clerk
in the postoffice on Oct. 1, 1910.
The chargee against Postmaster Du*
tra were first made last year, but at
that time no action was taken by the
grand jury. Similar charges -al^o were
made against government officials* at
Nashville and Knoxville, but the men
indicted were acquitted when placed on
trial.
Friction between factions of the Re
publican party in this state is said to
be at the bottom of the charges.

NO COMMITTEE ON
PUBLIC HEALTH YET
(By Associated Prels.)
WASHINGTON, May 29.—There will
be no house committee on public health
under the present plan of the house
leader, it was declared today. The crea
tion of such a committee has been vig
orously advocated. It was presumed that
if the committee was named it would
be headed by Representative Foster, of
Illinois, a physician himself, who as a
member of the rules committee has been
active in health matters.
The decision of the leaders was fore
casted yesterday on the floor of the
house when Representative Payne, of
New York, asked if there was any in
tention to appoint committees on new
subjects such as public health.
Mr, Underwood replied that the ways
and means committee was not prepared
yet to submit its committee recom
mendations.
It was doubted today if a health com
mittee would, be created any time soon.
Leaders feel the subject is amply pro
vided for in the itnerstate commerce
committee, where such legislation has
bq^n considered in the past.

he had been exonerated by the New
York state senate, was sentenced today

the senate and assembly codes commit
tees of a bill to make illegal descrira-

by stock exchanges.
Kendall refused to pay. Governor
Sulzer called on Stilwell to resign.
Stilwell declined. The senate investi
