Coprnfnt, ISIS, 1 ni*m*ti'>aaj N>w« Servi r Ever Meet a "Wottler?” [ 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.

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.

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.
