PAGE TWO HOUSE MEMBERS ARE STIRRED UP Representatives May Launch a Lobby Probe. CLARK CONFIRMS CHARGE Speaker Issues Statement Admitting Martin M. Mulhali’s Assertion That National Association of Manufactur- ers Had Worked for Missourian’s Defeat Through Its Lobby—Senate Committee Wil! Press Inquiry. Washington July 1—A searching investigation of the so called “under- ground system” at the Capitol, not only by the senate lobby committee but by a select committee of the house also, promises to be the first result of the sensational charge by Martin M. Mulhall, who claimed to have been the general field “lobby- ist” for the National Association of Manufacturers. Mulhall’s startling allegations that representatives, senators and high of- ficials of the government had been “reached” or “influenced” and that the “lobby” conducted its Operations from a room in the Capitol have thrown congressional circles into an! uproar. Congressmen named in the Mulhall charges are issuing statements; some of them denouncing the allegations as “malicious lies.” Speaker Clark is- sued a statement confirming the charge that the “lobby” had worked for his defeat. Many congressmen mentioned, however, declare they will not be satisfied with the senate lob- by committee’s investigation alone, but will insist on a select committee of the house to sift the charges. Senators Will Lose No Time. The senate committee, however, in- tends to lose no time. A subpoena al- ready served upon Mulhall is to be followed by others or the men named in the published statements. Chair. man Overman believes that when his process servers get through they will have spread a dragnet to bring in material for an investigation covering the last ten years. If there is any doubt of the author- ity of the senate committee to investi- gate that far Chairman Overman in- tends to have the senate extend its powers. President Wilson discussed the Mul- ; hall charges briefly and said he be- Heved the lobby on tariff legislation had ceased to “embarrass anybody but itself.” When the president made his first declaration that “a numerous and in- sidious lobby” was operating in Wash- ington he had no idea that such charges as made by Mulhall would be brought out. Chairman Overman called his com- mittee together for a short executive | conference and at its conclusion an- nounced that a full investigation , of the Mulhall charges had been agreed | on. It was decided that no meeting of the committee will be held until July | 28. Charges by Chairman Lovett of the Union Pacific board will be first taken up and the Mulhall charges will follow. wasnington, July T.—Portugal, through its minister here, notified Sec retary Bryan of its approval in prin- ciple of his proposed peace treaties and asked to be supplied with details.

Famous New Yorker Pitches His Tent on Site Where He Lost His Leg During the Battle Fifty Years Ago. Blue and Gray Join Lustily in Cheering Arrival of the Gallant Old Soldier. Gettysburg, Pa, July 1—While thousands of veterans of both sides are here and other thousands are on their way to participate in the great anniversary encampment commemo- rating the battle of Gettysburg there are gathering upon a quiet little street of the town seven gray haired women who, fifty years ago, acted as volunteer nurses for Union and Con- federate veterans alike. | Perhaps to no one of the seven are the recollections of that time more vivid than they are to Mrs. Salome Stewart, a native of Gettysburg, rho, except for an interval of a few years, has lived in the same house! that was used as an emergency hos- pital during the famous battle. At Mrs. Stewart's home has been’ established the headquarters for the surviving nurses of the war between the states. One arrival was Mrs." | Clarissa F. Dye of Philadelphia, who was among the first to respond when the news of Gettysburg filtered in over the wires. The other aged nurses to participate in the anniversary are Mrs. Cornelia Hancock, Philadelphia; Mrs. Margaret Hamilton, Wakefield Mass.; Mrs. Mary Stevens, Peabc Mass.; Miss Annie Irving, Newbu N. Y.; and Miss Helen Cole, Shebo: gan Falls, Wis. Sickles Pitches His Tent. Among the notable arrivals at the veterans’ camp was General Daniel E. Sickles, who declined hotel quar- ters in favor of a tent pitched upon the site where he lost his leg during the battle, General Sickles was es- corted by a cavalry detail and was cheered lustily by both Not wearers of t the ‘blue and gray. —.. A picturesque personage os at- tracted much attention was General Felix H. Robertson of Texas, who! came to town clad in the full uniform | of a Confederate general. General Robertson, who is proud of the fact that he was at Fort Sumter when the | first gun was fired, also declined to, accept the hospitality of the Pennsy!- vania commission, which had provid- ed a comfortable room for him, saying he preferred to share camp life with his men. This attitude was also as- sumed by General A. J. West of At- lanta, Ga. Among those registered at the head- quarters of commission on campus of Pennsylvania college are Governor Clarke of Iowa, General Tilletson and Colonel Heanan W. Allen of Vermont, Judge E. M. Gibson, Oakland, Cal.; E. L. Hawk of Sacramento, Cal.; F. W. Castle, New Orleans; J. W. Paiter- son, New Hampshire. United States Senator Penrose has arrived from Philadelphia. Colonel Charles H. McConnell of Chicago brought a tent which will serve as headquarters for the Iron brigade, and Pettigrew's North Carolina brigade. These bri- gades fought each other in the first day’s battle and their reunions are ex- pected to be particularly interesting for this reason. $310,000,000 FOR THE MOVIES 6,380,000,000 Nickels Spent by 3,600.- 000,000 Spectators. New York, July 1.—Statisticians have just completed counting all the nickels that have been spent in the last year to see the “movies” shows.

New York, July 1—President John Grier Hibben of Princeton sailed on | the Oceanic.. He is going to St. Gall, Switzerland. Before the ship left President Hibben severely criticized the Alpha Delta Phi fraternity for the withdrawal of its charter from the Manhattan chapter in the College of the City of New York largely be- cause of the Hebraic element in the “college. “The action of the Alpha Delta Phi in withdrawing its charter,” said Dr. Hibben, “is most regrettable. I nev- er met a more conscientious set of young men or a more upright or! cleanly living one and this is a blow at a race smacking af snobbish | folly.” FIRE MAROONS BIG CROWD ON BEAC Burning Trestle Inconveniences New York Picnickers, New York, July 1—Nearly 50,000 persons were marooned on Rockaway beach all night by fire which de- stroyed part of the trestle connect- ing that popular resort with Long Island. The flames started from a short circuit on the rail of the Long Island railroad while a train crowé- ed with 600 persons was crossing the long trestle over Jamaica bay. The rear car on the train caught fire and there was a wild scramble among the passengers to get foot- hold on the trestle. Hundreds of men, women and children picked their way over the trestle to safety. About 300 feet of the trestle burned before the fire was extinguished. The only other route home was by way of a single trolley line round- about way, which was unable to ac- commodate the crowds of people, most of whom spent the night asleep on the beach or in the pavilions.

The wealthy of the middle ages got over the difficulty of obtaining clean underclothing with primitive simplicity by not wearing any, while the lower orders wore coarse woolen garments that would ‘no doubt have “shrunk in the wash.” To prevent any casualty of the kind they remained unwashed. | Velvets, taffetas and richly dyed silks, such as those worn by the no- bility and gentry, could not, of course, be washed, and should any person of high degree be the possessor of a linen shirt it was a thing which was care- fully made known to all his friends and relatives as being extremely la mode and a fit subject for congratula- tion, but washed it never was for fear of injuring its pristine beauty.—Lon- don Tatler.

KREMER Furniture, Rugs, Linoleum and Undertaking OPPOSITE POSTOFFICE SECRETARY BRYAN DEFENDS OFFICIALS Editorial in Commoner on San Francisco Cases, Washington, July 1.—Secretary cf State Bryan, assuming the role of Edi- tor Bryan, has come to the defense of Attorney General McReynolds, Secre- tary of Labor Wilson and Immigration Commissioner Caminetti in connec- tion with the charges growing out of the Diggs-Caminetti “white slave” cases. Spurred to action by an editorial in the New York World, in which it was declared that Attorney General Mc- Reynolds cught to resign from Presi- dent Wilson’s cabinet, Mr. Bryan wrote an editorial for the Commoner. It is in part as follows: “Mr. McReynolds continued the cases at the request of Secretary Wil- son and it was a reasonable request. The New York World says it does not doubt that Mr. McReynolds’ motives were honorable. If his motives were honorable how can his act justify a demand for his resignation? ~ “Neither can Secretary Wilson be fairly blamed. He declares that he was considering the interests of his department and that he made the re- quest on his own initiative and with- out solicitation from Mr. Caminetti. “As for Mr. Caminetti we have known him for more than twenty years, and have no hesitation in say- ing that there is not a more upright or honorable man in public life.” PEPE EEE TEE MINNESOTA BUTTER.
