It is impossible to indi- cate when iw work will end. It is conceded generally that President Wilson's charge, which precipitated in inquiry, has been substantiated. While the disclosures of Martin M. Mulhall, confessed lobbyist for the National Association of Manufac- turers, have furnished the most spec- tacular features of the probe, no phase of the investigation has been more interesting that the testimony given by the members of the United States Senate who appcared before the committee to indicate whether they had a special interest in legls- lation pending before Congress. Senators Fletcher and Bryan of Florida gave interesting testimony which showed conclusively .that neither of them was interested finan- clally in the manufacture or produc- tion of any of the items of the tariff bill. Their testimony has stamped them as alert, aggressive representa. tives of the people of Florida. Senator Fletcher told the commit- tee that he had taken an active in- terest in an amendment in the tar. iff bill to protect the public and the manufacturers of clearHavanacigars against the fraud that is being per- petrated through the sale of cigars made of inferior tobacco, and offered to the public and sold as Havana cigars, He declared that he had urged the provision allowing clear Havana cigar manufacturers to man- ufacture in bond, and to have the government place a stamp on the cigars certifing that they contained Cuban.grown tobacco. “I do not want to hurt the grow- ers of tobacco,” sald Senator Fletch- er. had a hard enough time, and I do “Qur growers In Florida have not want to injure them; but {t seems to me this s a very great in. dustry and if the government reve- nues may be increased and this in- dustry benefited in this way it would be advantage torather than harm the growers here as well as in Cuba.” Concerning a pecuniary interest in the manufacture of production of any item carried‘ by the tariff bill Senator Fletcher sald he owned flve shares of stock in a hardware com. pany, which he has hadl for some twenty odd years; also ten or twelve shares of stock in a Florida life in- surance company, also some stock in real estate companies engaged in de- veloping land. Senator Bryan told the investizat. ing committee that he was interested to the extent of about $5,000 in some purchase money notes upon an orange grove, but otherwise was in- terested in nothing which by any stretch of the imagination would be affected by the tariff. He declared that he had appeared before the finance committee of the Senate ia connection with tarit on citrus fruits, to press an amendment di- rected at an oversight in the House bill with reference to the size of or- ange boxes. i , At the ggpestion of Chalrman uverman, Senator Bryan placed ia the record his correspondence with the Florida Citrus Exchange, in which the Exctange urged the sem- ator to co-operate with the Loulsiang senators with a view to protecting oranges and grapefruit.
