INTERESTS AR HEALTH OFFIGER - LOBBYING HARD NGAINST TARIFF WILSON SAYS IT IS THE MOST EXTRAORDINARY LOBBY EVER ASSEMBLED. Does Not Believe Sugar Interests Will Be Hurt if Scientific Methods Are Used. (By Associated Press.) Washington, May 26.—President Wilson today issued a statement de- ciaring he believed that the most ex- traordinary lobby ever gathered by the special interests to overcome leg- islation is at the capitol against the tariff bill. He declared that he be- !lieves the lobby is concentrated against free sugar and wool, but is! not apprehiensive that the lobby will | succeed, The president said: *'1 | think the public should know of the cxtraordinary exertions by the lobby against the tariff. Newspapers filled with paid advertisements calculated to mislead the national judgment of public men, and also the public opin- ion of the country. There is every evidence that unlimited money {8 be- ing spent to sustain the lobby and (reate an appearance of pressure of public opinion antagonistic to some chief item of the tariff. It is of se- rous interest to the country that the People should be voiceless while the hodies of astute men seek to create an artificial opinion to overcome pub- lic interests for private profit.” The president belicves that scien- tific business methods will overcoms: the tariff cuts and believes that L.ouisiana, by application of scientific wethods, will be able to continue her sugar industry profitably | L AELAND,TRUGKERS SHOULD ORGANCE This Is the Opinion of Secretary Hol- worthy of the Board of Trade. | —— with a Telegram representative Secre- tary A.

Washington, May 26. --(Special)-- ‘I'te most interesting news from the (‘anal Zone this year came with the dispatches telling of the admission of the waters of the Pacific recently te the channel of the canal. A blast of 32,750 pounvis of dynamite was exploded which turned a mighty rush of the western waters through the displaced dyke below the Miraflores locks, an event witnessed amid great enthusiasm by many thoussnds of people. It brings vividly near reali- zation the splendid achievement of Uncle Sam’s engineers and scientists. Evidently the work on the canal will be pushed with greater energy than ever. The uncertainty of the situa- tion in the orient, with a growing politica] party in Japan muttering against the United States, becange of alien land laws in the Pacific coast States, is giving such concern as in- cites increased vigor in the realm of public work. Postoffice Delay Is Wilson’s Fault. The offices most sought after in the new administration are under the rostoffice department. Something like two thousand nominations of post- masters had not been acted upon by the Senate at the expiration of the Taft administration, including re- rominations, and to fill vacancies by resignations and deaths. Postmaster General Burleson, it is said, has sent to the president about a thousand names of postmasters he has recom- mended for appointment, and he ad- vises callers who throng his office every day that it is no fault of his that the places are not filled prompt- ly, as was expected. The women folks of the Wilson White House circle have made a most pleasing impression upon Washing- tonians. They are entertaining fre- quently and graciously, and Mrs. Wilson is leading in manifesting in- terest in the social problems of the rational capital. She has been much about the city and has marked the spots on the sun of its beauty. Wash- ington has long been marred by the huddlings of pauper humanity here and there, under conditions that | No. 175.
