LITTLE ATTENTION PAID
TO
Statement That President Had
Been Lobbying Will Not Be
Made an Issue
WASHINGTON, June 9.—Senators on
the lobby investigating: committee were
of the opinion today that Senator
Townsend’s sensational charge that
President Wilson himself virtually had
been lobbying for the tariff bill would
hot be taken up by the committee as
an issue unless some specific charges
were made.
The committee was in recess today
preparing for its next week’s work,
which will not only finish the testi-
ony of the' dozen senators yet un
examined, but will begin questioning
the score or more of men whose names
have been brought out in testimony as
having represented special interests in
Washington.
“President Wilson will be welcomed
before the committee if he desires to
appear.” said Acting Chairman Reed to
day. “but I see no reason why he should
deny charges that never have been
made.’*
Democratic members took the position
that it remained for Republicans to
persue inquiries on whether President
Wilson had used “undue influence” with
any Democratic senators, and insisted
that the statements by Senators Towns
end. Weeks and* Warren had been of a
general character. Senators Nelson and
Cummins, the Republican members of'
the committee, had no plans today for
following up that line of inquiry.
“I intend, however, to insist before
the hearings are over.” said Senator
Cummins, “that President' Wilson fur
nish the committee with the facts or in
formation upon which he based his
statements as to ‘insidious lobbying’ in
Washington.”
The list of witnesses for next week
was enlarged today by the addition of
; R. D. Bowen, Paris, Tex. Circular let
ters signed by Bowen as chairman of
the "National Farmers’ Union commit
tee,” wene furnished by Senators Rans-
dell and Kern. These letters urged cot
ton farmers to “use strong language”
with their senators in favor of higher
duties on cotton cloth.
AIDES PROXY ABSENT
President Wilson Has First
Secretary of Each Depart
ment Represent Absentees
WASHINGTON, June 9.—President
Wilson apparently has established a rule
that in the absence from the city of
heads of the departments, assistant sec
retaries shall sit in their places at the
cabinet table. f\
John Skelton Williams, assistant sec
retary of the treasury, attended the last
cabinet meeting, and on all oocassions
upon which Secretary Bryan has been
away, John Bassett Moore counselor
of the state department, has joined the
president’s advisers. It is said the rea
son for the rule is that each cabinet offi
cer may have a representative at the
session, who will report to him any sub
jects concerning his department, which
may have come up for discussion during
bis absenoe.

Guilty of Libelling Godfrey
Isaacs in London
(By Associated Press.")
BOSTON, June 9.—After deliberating
throughout the night a jury today ac
quitted President William W. Wood, of
the American Woolen company of the
charfge of conspiracy to injure the tex
tile strikers at Lawrence by “planting’
dynamite.
A disagreement In the case of Freder
ick E. Atteaux was reported.
Dennis J. Collins, who turned state’s
evidence, was found guilty on two
counts of the indictment.
The first count charged conspiracy to
Injure the textile strikers, and the
second county conspiracy to injure un
known persons. The other counts allege
conspiracy against certain persons and.
a plot to damage property.
The case, one of the most sensational
that has grown out of a dispute between
capital and labor, was given to the jury
at noon . yesterday. The jurors began
their deliberations at 3 o’clock and when
they had failed ot report at midnight
they were locked up for the night. Court
reconvened at 9:30 this morning and the
jury came in at 10 o’clock.
The foreman reported that Collins was
guilty on the first two counts; Wood
acquitted and that the Jury had been
unable to agree in the case of Atteaux.
The court ordered that bail for At
teaux be renewed pending disposition
of his case.
Counsel for Wood asked the court to
direct an investigation of the publish
ed. statement that an attempt had been
made to influence Morris Shuman, one
of the jurors. Yesterday Shuman was
questioned by Judge John C. Crosby re
garding a statement which he was said
to have made recently to the district
attorney. \
This was to the effect that a man,
unnamed, had intimated to him that he
might have a business position for life
and $200 in cash if he voted “right.”
Upon assuring the court that he would
not be influenced by the alleged attempt
at bribery, Shuman was permitted to
continue in the jury box.
Judge Crosby stated that an inquiry
would be begun before him next Wed
nesday and he instructed all the jurors
to be present.
In asking for the investigation Coun
sel Hurlburt said:
“The newspapers of Boston have been
filled with the statement that a jtiror
was approached. While the name of
the attorney to whom it was said this
juror was to go to get $200 was not
mentioned, it was generally known
through rumors circulated about the
court that the atorney was myself.
I am an officer of this court. The
charge of attempting to bribe a juror
is of the gravest character. The jurors
are here and I ask that hey be kept
while these charges are publicly in
vestigated.”
(By Associated Press.)
LONDON, June 9.—A verdict of guil
ty was returned against Cecil Chester
ton, a brother of G. K. Chesterton the
author, at the Central criminal court to
day on a charge of criminal libel.
He had charged Godfrey Isaacs, man
aging director of the Marconi company,
with corruption in connection with the
British government’s wireless contract.
Some of the most prominent lawyers in
England were engaged in the case.
Chesterton was fined $f>00 and all the
costs of the prosecution which will be
exceedingly heavy as the trial lasted
ten days. He is to be kept in prison
until his fine has been paid.
On sentencing the defendant the judge
said that when he considered the cruel
ty of Chesterton’s conduct and how he
might have rendered Mr. Isaac a beggar
by driving him from his employment, It
was extremely difficult to refrain from
sending Chesterton to prison. The Judy’s
verdict, thfe pudge added, was a coplete
vindication of the prosecutor’s honor.
LONDON MILITANTS LOSE
11,1140 IN CIVIL SUIT
TO GIVE OLD HEN A
BEAUTIFUL PLUMAGE
WASHINGTON, June 9.—Fowl fan
ciers and experts in the bureau of ani
mal industry are seeking some method
of breeding whereby the unattractive
but useful hen can sprout plumage as
variegated as Joseph’s coat of many
colors. The activity of the experts is
inspired by the fact that many states
are passing stringent laws against the
destruction of birds for their plumage,
while several federal laws prohibiting
the traffic in such plumage already ara
in effect.
The bird division of the National
'museum also h$is the matter under
consideration, but it is inclined to be
lieve that the evolution of the com
mon hen along the lines desired is
scarcely practicable.
“I> might be accomplished.” said one
of the museum scientists facetiously,
“by hatching the eggs in a dye house.
It might also be accomplished by feed
ing the chickabiddies ochre, Prussian
blue and othfcr vari-colored paint
powders instead of corn or other grain.
One, you know, never can tell what
might happen in such a truly scientific
experiment.”

DALTON, Ga., June 9.—The resi
dence of Mrs. W- C. Huff, on Selvidge
street, and not the old Tibbs home on
North Hamilton street, was headquar
ters of General Joseph E. Johnston
while his army was in winter quarters
here, according to a statement made
by Dr. J. E. Wright, of McAlester,
Okla., on a visit here this week. Dr.
Wright is dean of the Oklahoma State
Dental association. His statement,
which he is willing to back with an
affidavit, again raises the question
'hich is of great interest to the
Daughters cf the Confederacy, veterans
and others, who had accepted the Tibbs
nouse as Johnston’s headquarters.
Dr. Wright was, during the winter of
1863-64, special messenger to General
Johnston, carrying telegrams to him
night and day, and is positive in his
statement as to where Johnston had
headquarters. He states that the
house was then known as the the Dr.
Black place.

Highly on Speech
(By Associated Press.)
LONDON, June 9.—Walter Hines
Page, American ambassador to the court
of St. James, is complimented in - editori
als appearing in the evening papers
today on his first speech in England,
made last night at the banquet given in
his honor by the Pilgrims’ society.
The writers express pleasure that he
devoted his speech to cementing the
bonds of friendship between the two
countries.
The Westminster Gazette says:
“Ambasador Page’p speech showed
that the United States have succeeded
in securing an ambassador who is more
than capable of maintaining the tradi
tional reputation of his office for public
speaking. Nothing could have been hap
pier than the note he struck in this first
public utterance.”
The Pall Mall Gazette says;
“We cannot too cordially reciprocate
Ambasador Page’s pleasant words.”
The Evening Standard says:
“It is good to see the power of the
friendly feeling existing betwen the two
nations thus recognized.”

WASHINGTON, June 9.—Former
President Taft made his first visit to
the White House today since he left
on March 4 to become a private citi
zen. Mr. Taft was the luncheon guest
of the president and Mrs. Wilson, but
before he sat down to the White House
table again he made a brief visit to
the executive offices and shook hands
with all the old employes he knew.
Before his White House call, Mr. Taft
motored to the capitoi and got lost.
He went to the house wing and looked
for Speaker Clark In the chamber. The
house was not in session and only empty
benches greeted him. He strolled
through the lobby and stepped confi
dently up to the door of Representative
Underwood’s private office to find It
locked.
“I’m looking for Speaker Clark,” said
Mr. Taft. *
“That’s not his office,” suggested a
bystander, who pointed out the proper
door.
“I’m looking for a gentleman named
Champ Clark,” said Mr. Taft as he en
tered.
Speaker Clark jumped from behind a
newspaper and shouted:
“How are you?”
The former president and the speaker
conferred for some time. Both are
members of the Lincoln Memorial asso
ciation which will meet here next Mon
day.
“I am the happiest man in the United
States,” declared Mr. Taft as he left
the speaker’s 1 office. Pointing to Mr.
Clark, he observed:
“The speaker hasn’t changed any, I
find.”
“I haven’t been on this side in more
than four years,” added Mr. Taft. “I
used to come up and lobby as secretary
of war.”

COLUMBUS, O., June 9.—Lee Cage, a
fember of the iron molders’ union of
Wheeling, W. Va., confessed in the fed
eral court here today that he * killed
John J. Reardon, a detective, of Pitts
burg, at Steubenville, O., in 1910. The
tragedy occurred during a period of
labor trouble.
Cage was tried at Steubenville more
than a year ago on a charge of having
murdered Reardon, but he was ac
quitted, having refused to take the
witness stand. Cage’s confession to
day was made in connection with a
civil hearing.
He cannot be tried again on the
same charge, having once been in
jeopardy.
Cage’s confession resulted in the
speedy dismissal of proceedings pend
ing involving the disposition of $5,000
reward money offered by the commis
sioners of Jefferson county, and anoth
er suit by Reardon’s administrator to
collect $5,000 damages from Jefferson
county because of Reardon’s death.
After Cage’s admission that he fired
the shots, an agreed order was entered
allowing Reardon’s heirs $1,500,
Cage declared that ho had come into
court valuntarily.

and soon the misery was worse than

and it made me feel entirely different.
Now I am the picture of health, weigh

Colorado Senator Tells of In
fluence Used to Discredit
'Wilson's Program
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, June 9.—Further evi
dence of organized efforts of anti-free
sugar forces to bring pressure to bear
upon western Democratic senators and
congressmen to align them against
President Wilson’s free sugar plan were
given the senate “lobby” committee to
day by Senator Thomas, of Colorado, a
member of the finance committee.
He produced hundreds of telegrams
and scores of documents, letters,
pamphlets and newspaper clippings
which he believed showed an organized
attempt to manufacture public senti
ment in Colorado which would affect
the action of its senators and rere-
sentatives.
He gave the names of many Colorado
towns from which scores of similar tele
grams and letters had come and said
he had been informed by some of the
signers that they were practically forced
to attach their names because of finan
cial obligations to persons directing
the movement.
The invevstigating committee showed
a disposition to go to the bottom of
some newspaper articles that Senator
Thomas furnished and learn wha forces
were at work circulating newspapers on
the sugar fight.
Senator Thomas said he knew the
beet sugar interests long had maintain
ed headquarters at Washington.
The campaign from Colorado, he de
clared, was evidently directed and fi
nanced by interests that would be af
fected by the tariff bill, but had been
conducted in an anonymous matter, so
he dtd not know the real forces behind
it.
Although 24 senators were yet to be
twenty-four senators were yet to be
heard when the senate lobby investiga
tion got under way today, Acting Chair
man Reed was of the opinion that the
investigators would be able to turn the
light upon some of the so-called lob
byists subpenaed before adjournment
tonight.
With the scent of the lobby already
strong, Senator Reed was convinced that
the committee is on the right trail
at last and that from some of the
scores of men who have been summoned
it will be able to extract information
confirming President Wilson’s lobby
statement.
Senator Reed announced he would ask
the senate for an indefinite extension
of time for the holding of the hear
ings. Objection by Senator Jones yes*-
terday prevented the consideration of a
similar request, but the Missouri sena
tor expected to obtain approval today.
Senator Oliver, owner of 1,000 shares
of preferred stock in the United StateS
Steel corporation, told the committee
he did not expect the tariff in any way
to affect ,its value.
“I have always held that so far as
the iron and steel schedule of the tar
iff ic concerned, the United States
Steel corporation is very much less
subject to menace than would small
manufacturers be to a change In the
rates,” said he. In addition to the
steel stock. Senator Oliver said he had
an investment of $1,500,000 in two
Pittsburg newspapers and coal shares.
“I never sought to influence any
senator in regard to the tariff on any
of the articles in which I am con
cerned,” said he, ‘“nor has anyone
sought to influence me improperly.”
Mr. Oliver declined to give his In-
vestfents in copper or in other lines
that he said were not affected by the
tariff or other legislation before con
gress.
“I am perfectly willing to give the
public an inventory of everything I
own,” he said, “but I do not think the
purpose of this, investigation is to se
cure an inventory of every senator’s
property.” «
Senator Walsh insisted that it was
pertinent to ask how much Oliver had
invested in copper properties.
“I cannot concede your right to ask
that,” returned Senator Oliver.
“You’re dead right,” interjected Sen
ator Nelson, a Republican member of
the committee.
Senator Reed agreed with Senator
Walsh and Senator Cummins with Sen
ator Nelson. Chairman Overman was
absent. It was a tie.
Senator Oliver said he knew of no
steel lobby and no representatives of
the steel Interests maintained in
Washington on tariff or other questions.
Senator Dupont, of Delaware, said he
owned several farms, 1,000 shares in the
Pennsylvania Steel company, 1,000
shares in the Cambria Steel company,
1,000 shares in the National Biscuit com
pany and no powder stock.
“When I came to the senate I had a
small amount of stock in the Dupont
Powder company, but I disposed of that
long ago,” said he. “I have never felt
it proper, however, for me to take part
in any debates in the senate involving
powder questions or to talk with sen
ators about the subject.”
Senator Dupont said that although
he was a member of the senate mili
tary committee, the committee had
acted without his co-operation upon
legislation concerning powder.
Senator Thomas said he had declined
to take part in consideration of the
lead and zinc provisions because of his
mining interests which include $3,700
worth of stock in the Del Monte Leas
ing company; $80,000 worth of the Vol
unteer Mining company, and $100,000
in the Creed Mines company, limited.
Senator Thomas said the only remark
to him that might be considered ‘im
proper” came from Henry Oxford, who
represented beet sugar interests.
There had been a persistent effort
to influence his action on sugar, wool
and lead, Senator Thomas said, through
a great number of letters and tele
grams from Colorado and the Rocky
Mountain states.
Senator Thomas said the anti-free
sugar campaign of the beet sugar
forces was the only one of* an anony
mous character, while the wool and
other interests had worked openly, he
said.

BALKAN DEMOBILIZATION
To Insure Peace, Great Pow

Others Lay Down Arms
(By Associated Press.)
LONDON, June 9.—King George en
tertained the peace delegates of the Bal
kan states and of Turkey at luncheon
at Buckingham palace today to cele
brate the signing of the treaty of peace.
Other guests included the Duke of
Connaught, Premier Asquith, Foreign
Secretary Sir Edward Grey and Viscount
Morley, of Blackburn, lord president of
the council. • t
While peace is being celebrated in
London the situation in the Near East
continues threatening. The report comes
from Constantinople, but lacks official
confirmation, that the European powers
have decided to demand the demobiliza
tion of the Turkish and the Balkan arm
ies in order to secure peace. It is be
lieved that the initiative In this action
was due in great measure to Russia.
The position of the Servian cabinet is
said to be unsafe but the resignation of
the ministers had not been announced

MONEY IN ONION CROP
FOR PUTNAM FARMER
EATONTON, Ga., June 9.---A former
Floridian, Captain J. M. Boone, for
many years a conductor on the Florida
East Coast railway, with headquar
ters at Fernandina, who has made Mb
home in Putnam for several years past,
has proven t£at there is money in un
ions for Georgia farmers, the cost of
production comparing favorably with
that of other market crops. On his
farm two miles out from the city, Mr.
Bqone has a patch of Bermuda onions
from which he is gathering this year
an average of 400 bushels to the acre,
with a market value of $1 per bushel.
Several specimens were on exhibition in
town this week ranging from four to
six inches in diameter.
JAPAN NOTE
U. S. State Department Is
Making Careful Study of
Protest on California Law
WASHINGTON, June 9.—Secretary*
Bryan returned from Pittsburg today
and prepared to take up with Counsellor
Moore, Japan’s latest note on the Cali
fornia alien land question.
In the verbal exchanges between the
secretary and Ambassador Chlnda and
between the ambassador and President
Wilson, the state department has been
to some extent prepared for the newest
points made by the Tokio foreign office.
But because of their novelty, such as
that relating to the. fourteenth amend
ment and fine distinctions sought to be
drawn between the relative functions of
the national and state governments, the
rejoinder must be most carefully analyz
ed before any serious effort can be made
to draft a reply.
The administration, however, has no
disposition to lay Itself open to the
charge of procrastination, so Secretary
Bryan and President Wilson will almost
immediately devote themselves to prepa
ration of a legal argument to cover the
Japanese rejoinder as far as that may
be done.
Except for the possible adverse effect
upon general relations between the
United States and Japan, which might
follow a refusal by the senate to sanc
tion renewal of the special arbitration
treaty which expires in August, yester
day’s proceedings in the executive ses
sion of the senate are not likely to di
rectly affect the present negotiations.

HEAVIER TAX TO BE LEVIED
ON THE TOBACCO TRUST
WASHINGTON, June 9.—Legislation
to carry out Attorney General McNey-
nolds’ plan plan to levy an additional
excise tax on the production of the
larger tobacco factories with the pur
pose of preventing control of the field
by the former dominating factors of
the “tobacco trust” was introduced to
day by Senator Hitchcock as an amend
ment to the tariff bill.
It would levy a heavy tax o nmanu-
facturers producing more than 80,000,-
000 pounds of tobacco or four million
pounds of snuff annually. Seantor
Hitchcock estimated that the tax would
affect only three tobacco companies,
two or three cigarette companies and
two cigar companies. It would begin as
soon as a manufacturer controlled ap
proximately 25 per cent of the total
production and probably bring the gov
ernment $15,000,000 a year. —'
