House corres pondents today that he believed the most extraordinary lobby ever gath ered by special Interests to overcome legislation was now mustered at the capitol against the tariff bill. j The president said he had no doubt that a few so-called lobbyists were there on legitimate errands, but that the great majority were occupied in a systematic misrepresentation of facts. While the president believes that the 'lobby" opposition is concen trated against free sugar and free wool, he Is not apprehensive that it will be successful. The president later issued the fol lowing statement: Attacks the Lobbyists, "I think that the public ought to know the extraordinary exertions be ing made by the lobby In Washington to gain recognition for certain altera tions of the tariff bill,. Washington ha seldom seen so numerous, so in dustrious or so insidious a lobby. The newspapers are being filled with paid advertisements calculated' to mislead the Judgment of public men not only, but also the public opinion of the country Itself. There Is every evidence that money without limit Is - being ' spent to sustain, tbl lobby and to cre ate aii appearance of "si" pressure"' ot public opinion antagonistic to. some of -the. chief Items of- tho tarirf bill. "It is of serious interest to the coun try that the people at large should have no lobby and be voiceless in these matters while, great bodies of astute men seek to create an artificial opln ion and to overcome the Interests of the public for their private profit. It Is thoroughly worth the while of the people of this country to take knowl edge of this matter. Only public opln ion can check and destroy it. "The government In all lt branches ought to be relieved from this intol erable burden and this constant Inter ruption to the calm progress of de hate, I know that in this I arn speak ing for the members of the two houses, who would rejoice as much as I would, to be released from this un bearable situation." The president made It clear that he believed scientific business methods and efficiency would overcome tariff cuts and that with the application of scientific methods Louisiana would not only be able to continue In the sugar industry but do so profitably. Darwin P. Klngsley, president of tho New .York Life Insurance com pany, appeared today before the sen ate finance sub-committee working on the Income tax section of the Under wood tariff bill to discuss provisions relating to insurance companies. Ather sub-committees had a long list . ot manufacturers waiting to be heard before the close of the tariff hearings tomorrow night. Beginning Wednesday morning the sub-commit' tees will take up the schedule for re vision and 'plan their report to the full committee.

Klngsley, president of the New York Life Insurance company, today asked the senate sub-committee on the Income tax section to exempt nil Insurance written for protection and mutual benefit, and not for profits. Ho had a spirited exchange with Sen ntor Williams over camuulcn rnntrl . buttons disclosed In the Hughes Inves titration several years ago. "When your company paid 1250,000 to a campaign fund," asked Senator Williams, "none ot that money ever was participated in by the pollcyhold es, was it? 1 "No. it WMnot." said Mh. Kings ley.

By Associated Pres. Washington, May 26. The District upreme court here, which originally sentenced . Samae? Gompers, John Mitchell and Frank Morrison to Jail for contempt of court, filed a petition Ith the Supreme court of the United States today asking the highest trib- nal to review the decision of the District Court of Appeals, which af firmed the conviction of the three men but reduced their sentences. At the same time the high court had under consideration another application for review of a write of error presented by attorneys for the convicted men. Gompers originally was sentenced to 2 months, Mitchell to nine and Mor rison to six. The District Court of Appeals affirmed the conviction and reduced Gomper's sentence to 30 days nd Mitchell's and Morrison's to a fine Attorneys for the labor leaders ask review and reversal of tho lower court on many grounds. The District Supreme-court against which It Is al leged the men committed contempt in the Bucks Stove and Range case, asks review on the ground that the Court f Appeals had no authority to reduce the sentences after affirming the con- ictlons. Those best Informed on the history of Jurisprudence in the Supreme court f the United States know of no other nstance in Which one inferior court has applied directly to the highest tribunal to reverse another inferior court.

Safety razors, talking machines, and thou sands of other patented articles arc- affected by the derision The court's decision was five to four, with Justices McKenna, Holmes, Lur ton and Vandeventer. dissenting. Jus tice pay announced the majority de cision, which held that while the pat ent law gave the , owner exclusive right to "vend" articles, that was not the not granted by the patent law, Many manufacturers had Joined the manufacturer of the nerve tonic In his light to sustain the contention that is patent gave hiin a right to sell or use his patented article under any' condi tions as to re-sale prioe he might see lit. to impose. All decisions in the lower courts With the exception of one have been In favor of the manufac turers. . ; Justice Day in his decision "distin guished" the fampus "mimeograph case" of more than a year ago from the case today, but many lawyers who heard the decision regarded the term as a judicial phrase for practically re versing that caf-V;' f-sat point may be determined in some future action Officials of the. department of jus tice regard the decision of tremendous Importance, putting an end to existing widespread extensions of patent mo nopolies and sharply drawing a line of demarcation between the Sherman anti-trust law and the patent laws." Under the cloak of the legal monop oly granted by the! patent laws many industries, it is contended, control thi price of patented articles to the ulti mate consumer. The department of justice has con tended that once a patentee sells his patented article he loses all control of It and is powerless, and especially li view of the .7"Tinan untl-trust law to establish re-sale prices. Several anti-trust suits now In the courts are based upon this principle and the department of Justice has been eagerly awaiting a determine tion of the question before starting By Associated Press. New York, May 26. Dr. Joseph J.

Hickman, commander of the Tennes see division, United Confederate Vet erans and grand marshal of the vet erans parade, prohibiting women from riding astride during the reunion here, has brought forth many expressions of protest and commendation. Opposition to the order is being voiced largely by some of the sponsors and maids of honor affected. In defense of General Hickman's or der, Dr. A. A. Lyon of Nashville, Tenn., secretary of the Army and Navy Medi cal association, U. C. V., today is quot ed as follows: "This unnatural cross saddle move ment appears but the logical out growth of this twentieth century agi tation among a lot of distempered women who are clamoring for 'wom en's rights.' "It is known that Mrs. Nicholas Longworth, Mr. Roosevelt's eldest daughter, and Miss Helen Taft, es chewed the cross saddle entirely, and If President Wilson will pardon even an allusion to his daughters on this subject, I will wage an imaginary bet of a five-dollar gold piece against the stump of a cigar that the public will never have occasion to associate any one of them wttli the oroes-eaddle." i. Women have been encroaching on us poor fellows for years; they have robbed us of our hats, coats, shirts,' collars, top boots; have long been tug ging at our trousers and I understand they began a short time ago to tinker with our socks. Cut worst of all they have Jumped astride of our saddle horses. "On the occasion of a recent visit to Washington and New York city I satisfied myself that the truly refined ind elegant ladies of these cities who exercised on horseback rode on sidesaddles." Indications today are that General Hickman's order will be rigidly enforced. Chattanooga, Tenn., May 26. Mob ilization of United Confederate vet erans here for their twenty-third an nual reunion continued rapidly throughout the night and today. Large crowds of civilians thronged the two railroad terminal stations and watched the veteran detrain. More than a thousand veterans spent the night at Camp Stewart and this numler was greatly augmented today. General Rennett H. Young of Louis ville. Ky., commander-in-chief of the United Confederate veterans, la al ready in the city. After a careful In spection of the arrangements made for the accommodation of the veteran he pronounced them equal, If not su perior, to those at any previous re union. ' General Young has been In close communication with railroad officials and predict that more than 100,000 visitors and veterans will be In the city when the annual reunion Is for mally opened tomorrow at the audi torium.
