Congressmen Accused by Mulhall
Exonerated Except McDermott,
Who Is Scored.
WASHINGTON, Dee. 9.—President
Wilson's charge that lobbies existed
at the Capitol to Influence legislation
were sustained in the report of the
House Lobby Investigation Comm't-
tee, presented to the House to-daw
The charges pref red by Martin M.
Mulhall agalnat Representatives Bar-
tholdt, of Misaouri; Calder. of New
York; Sherly, 0 f Kentucky; Webb, of
North Carolina, and Fairchild, of N*\v
York, however, were declared un
founded.
The report also finds that while the
American Federation of Labor main
tain* a lobby h re it does not permit
its activities to transgress the law or
go beyond the bounds of proper privi
lege. The report finds that MulhaM
and James A. Emery, working for tht»
National Aseociation 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 ha .e
maintained lobbies to influence legis
lation. Other points brought out in
the report are:
To Protect Injunction.
That the main purpose of the Na
tional Association of Manufacturers
waa to prevent legislation curbing the
uses of the injunction against labor
unions.
That the Tariff Commission legisla
tion of 1 j*09 was not improperly ’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 guilty
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 rela
tion* with the pawnbrokers and liquor
dealers of Washington are gone over
by the committee at lengt’...
Loan Is Condemned.
The committee states that a lo.vn
of $500 given McDermott bv 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 aAd 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
characterise oublic men. We can not
say that h^ 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 with
an alleged contribution by Harold Me
Cormlck to his campaign fund in 191?.
Clements May Win;
President Wavers
Reports from Washington indicate
that President Wilson has assumed
sn 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.
FIRES ON FACE
Would Itch and Burn. Caused Great
Disfigurement. Also Had Dan
druff on Scalp. Cuticura Soap
and Ointment Cured Perfectly.
R P D. No. 2. Box 46. Matthews. Ga
"For three years or more I was troubled
with pimples and blackheads. At first my
face would itch and burn and then the
pimples would break out. They looked al
most as if 1 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 boils would come on
ray chin and nose
"I also had dandruff which caused my
scalp to Itch and burn. It itched and burned
so that I had to scratch it until it was irri
tated. The dandruff scaled off and showed
plainly in nay 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 recei ved a free
sample of Cuticura Soap and Ointment I
began using them according to directions.
T secured two cakee of Cuticura Soap and
two boxes of Cuticura Ointment which
cured me perfectly." (Signed* Miss Willie

Support in “Argyle Case’ Is Splen
did, and Majority of Lines
Carry a ‘Punch.’
By TARLETON COLLIER.
Hail :ha apotheosis of the detec
tive! Nowadays he becomes the
modern knight, rescuing the. oppress
ed maiifen. swatting the oppressor,
and then marrying the lady in ques
tion. all jn 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 tlia; come to you as you
watch Robert Hilliard and the others
in "The Argyle Case.” which opened
at the Atlanta Monday night. There
are other impressions, loo, 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 hand of ap
plause. At least, it is satisfying to
the audience that they should see a
oast 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 littl“
to be desired in IT interpretation of
the not too fanciful part c». the ultra-
new detective, who out-Burr- Burns,
who hobnobs with those high In sta
tion and who is at all limes the mas
ter of the situation. He is known to
Atlanta, having appeared in "A Fool
There Was” three seasons ago.
There was an uncomfortably large
amount of neurasthenia written in*o
the lines of the women in the play,
and they were called upon to shriek and
sob and fidget. Hov/ever superb our
masterful detectives might be, the‘r
roles were not nearly so difficult as
those of the won.en. And, very hap
pily, the women were equal to It all.
Edwin Holland, as Hurley, the mur
derer in the case: Gustav Von Seif-
fertitz, -is Frederick KreisUjr, a fan
tastic counterfeiter, and Joseph Tuo-
hy, as Joe Manning, a rather human
detective, were some of the unusually
good company whose work pleased.
"The Argyle Case” will be at t’vie
Atlanta Tuesday and Wednesday
evenings and Wednesday matinee.
Yvette Hit of
Forsyth’s Bill.
A j-ouns woman with a head of
paroxysmal red haid and a rubber
ball energy became the sensation of
the week’s bill at the Forsyth, the
moment she stepped onto a darkened
stage and begun to play a ghostly
white violin.
I must be admitted that Yvette’s
methods could hardly fall of creating
the desired sensation. From a tanta-
lizingly remote position in the center
of the theater you gained the sus
picion that her nether limbs, a goodly
portion of which protruded through
a slit skirt, were naively hare of
hosiery of any sort. And Yvette's
dancing well, there were some of
the audience who w ere 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 Bcouts 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
Bov Scout setting.
The Hickey Brothers. aerobatic
dancers, are tumblers of more than
usual abilitj The Rosalres, open
ing the act, have a wire-walking act.
