H McMichael, former chief page of the House, con cerning the official conduct of Repre sentative James T. McDermott, of Illinois, the House Lobby Investigat ing Committee has decided, 1t is said, to make a preliminary report on Mc Dermott to the House at the earliest possible opportunity. This report will be separate from the committee’s proposed general re port on the subject of lobbying, and when It Is presented It will be in order for any member of the House to move for McDermott's expulsion. If such a motion is made. It will be necessary for the House to vote di rectly on the question. According to the rules, a two-thirds vote of the membership is necessary to expul sion. Loan Sharks Raisa Funds. Whether such action will be taken depends largely on the testimony of four pawnbrokers of the District of Columbia, who now are under sub- pena by the committee. These pawn brokers, according to McMichael, raised a fund to defeat the District loan shark bill which passed Congress some time ago. McMichael testified that McDer mott made a trip to the Hotel Na varre. New York City, and there he says he learned the money, or part of It. was turned over to McDermott. McMichael admitted he never saw a cent of the alle^d fund. It was learned to-day that mem bers of the committee believe this phase of McMichael’s testimony is the most serious matter they have yet disclosed and constitutes a direct accusation of bribery. Future testi mony, they admitted, might entirely disprove this. Searchlight on McDermott. Acting on this theory, the general Investigation of lobbies which they have been conducting was to-day turned entirely into an investigation of McDermott’s persoal conduct. “Did McDermott vote for what the pawnbrokers wanted?” McMichael was asked. “I don’t know how he voted.” McDermott put about $5,000 into an airship promotion scheme. Whether he lost it or not McMichael did not know, but he knew' that he, McMichael, lost $500 of his own money. “When did McDermott tell you he got $7,500 from the pawnbrokers In connection with the loan shark bill?” “After the loan shark bill became a law.” “What did he say?” “Well, it was like this: I said, ‘Wqll, the bill has passed;’ he said, ‘Well, I got mine;’ I said, ‘How much did you really get out of it?’ he said, 'About $7,500.’ ” McMichael said that McDermott has talked to him several times about getting $7,500 from the pawnbrokers. The committee may go into a re port of a liquor lobby raising cor ruption funds to defeat the reforms proposed during the close of the Cannon regime, w'hlch precipitated the so-called rules fight.
