THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS 0 S LOBBY Km » Kal [ Congressmen Accused by Mulhall Exonerated Except McDermott, Who Is Scored. WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.—President Wilson's charge that lobbies existed at the Capitol to influence legislation were sustained in the report of the House Lobby Investigation Commit tee, presented to the House to-day. The charges preferred by Martin M. Mulhall against Representatives Bar- tholdt, of Missouri; Calder, of New York; Sherly, of Kentucky; Webb, of North Carolina, and Fairchild, of New York, however, were declared un founded. The report also iinds that while the American Federation of Labor main tains a lobby lure It does not permit Its activities to transgress the law or go beyond the bounds of proper privi lege. The report find9 that MulhaR and James A. Emery, working for the National Association of Manufactur ers, “went beyond the limits of de cency in trying to influence legisla tion.” The National Council for Industrial Defense* and the National Tariff As sociation also were found to have maintained lobbies to influence legis lation. Other points btought out in the report are: To Protect Injunction. That the main purpose of the Na tional Association of Manufacturers was to prevent legislation curbing the uses of the injunction against labor unions. That the Tariff Commission legisla tion of 1909 was not improperly 5 n- fluenced by lobbies. That no improper influences have been exerted in nominating or elect ing Congressmen as far as the com mittee can ascertain. That Representative James D. Mc Dermott, of Illinois, “has been gul'.ty of acts of grave impropriety unbe coming the dignity of the distin guished position 1 e occupies.” That Mulhall and Emery should change their ways or “remain away from the Capitol forever.” Representative McDermott’s re’a- tions with the pawnbrokers and liquor dealers of Washington are gone over by the committee at length. Loan Is Condemned. The committee states that a loan of $500 given McDermott by Hu*!i F. Harvey, secretary’ of the Washing ton Liquor Dealers’ Association, prob ably did not “influence his vote," but the transaction is severely con demned. “The members of the House know Mr. McDermott,” says the report, “and know his ideals and his char acteristics as the public generally does not, and in the nature of things can not know' them. His training and association have not given him the ethical perception and standards relative to public office that usually characterize nublic men. We can n > f sav that he has been corrupted in his vote, but some things which a private citizen may do with impunity must be avoided by one in official station.” McDermott is exonerated of any improper conduct in connection wiM an alleged contribution by Harold Mc Cormick to his campaign fund in 191? Clements May Win: President Wavers Reports from Washington indicate that President Wilson has assumed an attitude much more favorable to the reappointment of Judge Judson Clements, of Georgia, on the Inter state Commerce Commission than was at first understood. The strong indorsements of the Southerner and the argument that his experience is greatly needed by the commission since it lost its senior member by resignation, have had their effect. Senator Robert M. LaFollette is mentioned as one of the most active supporters of Judge Clements. It is said in Washington that he has told the President the Senate may reject any nominee in Judge Clements’ place. PIMPLES 01 FACE Would Itch and Burn. Caused Great Disfigurement. Also Had Dan druff on Scalp. Cuticura Soap and Ointment Cured Perfectly. H. F. D. No 2. Box Matthew*. Ga “For three years or more I troubled with pimples and blackheads. At first my faco would itch and burn and then the pimples would breAk out. They looked al most as if I had measles, causing great dis figurement. They would make my face very red and sore. Then they festered and came to a head and large boil* would couae on my chin and nose. “I also had dandruff which caused my scalp to itch and bum. It itched and burned so that I had to scratch it until it was irri tated. The dandruff scaled off and showed plainly in my hair. It also caused my hair to break off and become very thin. I used several remedies which did not cure and gave but little relief. After I received a free sample of Cuticura Soap and Ointment I began using them according to directions.

Hail the apotneo*is of the detec tive! Nowadays he becomes the modern knight, rescuing the oppress ed maiden, swatting the oppressor, and then marrying the lady in ques tion. all in true Ivanhoe style. And being a detective would be rather de sirable. if women were not so rasp- ingly neurotic. These are one or two of the im pressions that come to you as you watch Robert Hilliard and the others in “The Argyle Cose.” which opened at the Atlanta Monday night. There are other Impressions, too. but you received them so long ago from the ten thousand detective stories that they may be trite—that the police de tective is not only fallible, but bun gling; that a true hero can face the gun of an infuriated villain, and dare him to shoot, and all those things. But the firmest impression you re ceive is that here is a play with ev ery line written to convey a delib erate punch. The general effect is an unflagging interest that is at times, and very often, thrilling. It is melodrama, but a not unreason able melodrama, even for a detective- crook play. And it must afford soul-satisfaction to a bunch of actors to realize that they have a part in a drama like “The Argyle Case,” in which everybody has at least one great moment and comes in for one hearty hapd of ap plause. At least, it is satisfying to the audience that they should see a cast in which every individual de serves the applause he gets. Robert Hilliard and his supporting company are a group well balanced as to abil ity and are uniformly as capable as any actors that And their way into these parts. Robert Hilliard himself leaves little to be desired in Liar interpretation ->f the not too fanciful part of the ultra- new detective, who out-Burr- Burns, who hobnobs with those high in sta tion and who is at all times the mas ter of the situation. He is known to Atlanta, having appeared In “A F'ool There Was’’ three seasons ago There was an uncomfortably la re; 3 amount of neurasthenia written in J the lines of the women in the pla and they were called upon to shriek and sob and fidget. However superb our masterful detectives might be, theT roles were not nearly so difficult as those of the women. And. very hap pily, the women were equal to it all. Edwin Holland, as Hurley, the mur derer in the case; Gustav Von Sei f - fertitz, as Frederick Kreisler. a fan tastic counterfeiter, and Joseph Tuo- hy, as Joe Manning, a rather human detective, were some of the unustJRllf good company whose work pleased. “The Argyle Case'’ will be at t’^ie Atlanta Tuesday and Wednesday evenings and Wednesday matinee. Yvette Hit of Forsyth’s Bill. A young woman with a head of paroxysmal red haid and a rubber ball energv became the sensation of the week’s bill at the Forsyth, the moment she stepped onto a darkened stage and began to play a ghostly white violin. I must be admitted that Yvette's methods could hardly fail of creating the desired sensation. From a tanta- lizlngly remote position in the center of the (heater you gained the sus picion that her nether limbs, a goodly portion of which protruded through a slit skirt, were naively bare of hosiery' of any sort. And Yvette’s dancing—well, there were some of the audience who were uneasily aware that this was not the conventional thing. The act scored a tremendous hit—the biggest of the season with out a question. The young woman handles the violin adeptly—rather than artistical ly. however—and sings plaintively with It. Her work carries a peculiar ly effective appeal that won her a genuine ovation. The house laughed at the Nichols Sisters Monday, with their act “The Kentucky Belles.” Female blackface comedians are rarities, and in addi tion to the novelty of the perform ance, the sisters exhibited an ex cellence of impersonation. A closing act that for once held a Monday matinee audience makes the bill unique. Captain Chink’s Aus tralian Boy Scouts are unusually well drilled young men—not all of them are really boys. But there is little of novelty in the performance of gun juggling, except perhaps the timely Boy Scout setting The Hickey Brothers. acrobatic dancers, are tumblers of more than usual ability.

Virtue’s persecution and vindica tion forms the basis of the play of fered at the Lyric for the week, ‘‘The Butterfly on the Wheel.” The play is one with an essentially modern ap peal. It hardly is to be relegated t » the class of the problem play; nor is it a melodrama. But there is a solid ity about It that Is entertaining, rid a number of situations that call '■»: capable acting. Eleanor Montell, as Peggy Ad- maston, the Innocent young wife whj is forced to a divorce trial by a sus picious husband, met tin demands >f a most exacting part. Charles Dr.r- rar. as Roderick Oollingwood, tfn former lover who forced the ingenu ous Mrs. Admaston into her maritil plight, was good, and Horace Hooper, in the comedy part rs Lord Eller- dine, a typical, but not conventiona.. Englishman, was easily the best of the male cast. The play has for its grea scene the divorce court in which Mrs. Admaston is forced to defend herself. In her im potent way. against the damning ev - dence that has been brought in favor of her husbands suit. The climax is powerful, where the butterfly wom an, unable tf convi < e a hard-headed English jury and judge of her inno cence. eollupst s. However, alt ends well when the machlnat.it ns of vil lainy are revealed out of court. “The Katterflv on the Wheel** will be at the Lyric all week, with mati nees Tuesday, Thursday and Satur day. Good Melodrama Offered Bijou Patrons. A crowded house greeted the Jewell Kelley Company in “Over the Sea” at the Bijou Monday night. The play is a ripping good melodrama, full of ac tion and sentiment. Every climax was the signal for applause. The au dience seemed immensely pleased with the performance. This week’s offering introduces Miss Lillian Douglas, a new member. She was given a cordial reception. Edwin Vail, w ho appeared in the role of clergyman, won many new friends. Vernon Wallace the leading man. was a prime favorite from the start. Miss Rose Morris, in the part of a street urchin., was excellent. Earl Migiey appeared in a comedy part which gave him abundant » 'portunity for fun-making Oscar Hues, Miss Claire Summers. T C. McDonough and the other members of the cast appeared to advantage. TO STRIP ICON MACON. Dec. 9. A majority of the members of City Council propose to-night to divest the Mayor of the power the office has had far 75 years to appoint the firemen and policemen The present Mayor, Bridges Smith, represents one faction in local poli tics and ten of the Aldermen repre sent another faction The firemen and policemen, now on the payrolls, were put in office by the party repre sented by Mr. Smith, and the Aider- men seek to remove them and i;ive the jobs to some of their own political friends. It takes seven votes to pass the ordinance and eight to pass L over the Mayor’s veto. Eight of th« Aldermen have declared in favor of it. The ordinance provides that the chiefs of the police and fire depart ments, who are elected by Council, shall appoint the members of the two forces, subject to the confirmation of Council.
