Ever Meet a "Wottler?”
Congressmen Accused by Mulhall
Exonerated Except McDermott,
Who Is Scored.
\A ASHINGTON, Dor. 9.—President
Wilson’s charge that lobbies existed
a: the Capitol to influence legislation
were sustained in the report of the
House Hobby Investigation Commit
tee presented to the House to-day.
The charges pre -ed by Martin M.
Mulhall against Representatives Bar-
holdt, of Missouri; Calder. of New
York; Sherly, of Kentucky; Webb, cf
North Carolina, and Fairchild, of New
York, however, were declared un
founded.
The report also finds that while the
American Federation of Labor main
tains 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 MulhaU
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 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
was to prevent legislation curbing the
uses of the injunction against labor
unions.
That the Tariff Commission legisla
tion of 1t>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 Enwry should
change their ways or "remain away
from the Capitol forever.”
Representative McDermott's rela
tion 1 - " le pawnbrokers and liquor
dealers of Washirfgton are gone over
by the committee at length.
Loan Is Condemned.
The committee states that a loan
of $500 given McDermott by Hu*»!i
r. 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 Mouse know'
Mr. McDermott,” says the report,
"and know his ideals and his char
acteristics ns the public generally
does not, and in the nature of things
tan not know them. His training
and association have not given him
the ethical perception and standard?
relative to public office that usually
characterize ’Uiblie men. We can n »t
say that h„ as been corrupted in his
vote, but some things which a private
citizen may do with impunity must be
avoided bj one in official station.” -
McDermott is exonerated of any
improper conduct in connection wiGi
an adhered contribution by Harold Me
Oormick to his campaign fund in 1911’.
Clements May Win:
President Wavers
Reports from Washington indicate
that President Wilson has assumed
an attitude much more favorable to
J - 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 arid
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
mentioned as one of n t 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.

SLEUTH PHY
Support in ‘Argyle Case’ Is Splen
did, and Majority of Lines
Carry a ‘Punch.’
By TARLETON COLLIER.
Hail the apotheosis of the detec
tive! Nowadays he becomes the
modern knight, rescuing the oppress
ed maiden, swatting the oporessor,
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 Case," 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 trlte-A-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
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 find their way into
these parts.
Robert Hilliard himself leaves little
to be desired in IT interpretation of
the not too fanciful part «... 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 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
s*ob and fidget. However superb our
masterful detectives might be. then-
roles were not nearly so difficult a*
those of the w'orr.en. And, very hao-
pily, the women were ecpial 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 unusual!?
rood company whose w’ork pleased.

Lyric Has Draira .
With Strong Appeal.
Virtue’s persecution and vmdlrsi-
tion forms the basis of the play of
fered at the Lyric i\ r the w eek, "Tins
| Butterfly on the Wheel.” The play
is one with an essentially modern ip-
peal. It hardly is to be relegated t'»
the class of the problem play; nor is
it a melodrama. But there is a solK-
ity about it that is entertaining, lad
a number of situations that call
capable acting.

R. F. 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 I had measles, causing greardis-
figurement. They would make my face very
red and sore. Then they festered and came
to a head and large boils would come on
my chin and nose.
" I also had dandruff which caused my
scalD to Itch and bum. It itched and burned
*o that ( had to scratch it until it was irri
tated. The dandruff scaled off and showed
* i bdnly in my hair. It also caused my hair
ro break off and become \ery 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.
I secured two cakes of Cuticura Soap and
two boxes of Cuticura Ointment which
curpd me perfectly." (Signed) Miss M illie

Yvette Hit of
Forsyth’s Bill.
©
A voting woman with a. head of
paroxysmal red haid and a rubber
ball energy became the sensation of
the week’s bill at the Forsyth. Hie
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-
lizinglv 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 w'ho were uneasily aw r are
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
comedian? 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 »
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 boy's. But there is little of
novelty in the performance of gun
juggling, except perhaps the timely
Boy Scout setting.
The Hickey Brothers, acnobatic
dancers, are tumblers of more than
usual ability. The Rosaires. open
ing the act, have a wire-walking act.

A crowded home greeted the Jewell

the Bijou Monday night. The play is
a ripping good melodrama, full of ac
