PRICE THREE CENTS WON'T REVEAL IS HOLDINGS Senator Oliver Tells v ommit tee of Interests Affected by the Tariff, and No ' ' Others. COMMITTEE DIVIDED ON QUESTION RAISED Two Vote to Sustain His Re fusal and Two Against Progress of i the ' Hearing. mmm plan B EFDRE Wl LS 0 N President Undecided as to Im posing Graduated Tax on Manufacturers. By Associated Press. Washington, June 6. Although 24 senators were yet to be heard when the Benate lobby Investigation got un der way today, acting Chairman Reed was of the opinion that the investiga tors would be ablefo turn the light upon some Of the so-called lobbyists subpoenaed before adjournment to night. With the scent of the lobby al ready strong, Senator Reed was con duced that the committee is on the right trail and that from some of the scores of men who have been sum moned it will be able to extract Infor million confirming President Wilson's lobby statement. Senator Reed announced he woujd ask the senate for an Indelinlte exten sion of time for the holding of the hearings. Objection by Senator Jones yesterday prevented the consideration f a similar request, the Missouri sen ator -expected to obtain approval to day. Senator Oliver, owner of 1000 shares of preferred stock In the United Slates Steel corporation, told the com mittee he did not expect the tariff In any way to affect its value. "I have always held that so far as the iron and steel schedule of the tariff is concerned, the United States Steel corporation Is very much less subject to menace than would small manufacturers be by a change in the rates," said' he. '" ' In addition to the steel stock Sena tor Olive said he had an Investment of $1,500,000 In two Pittsburgh news papers and coal shares. ' "I never sought to Influence any senator In regard to the tariff on any of the articles In which I am concern ed," said he, "nor has anyone sought to influence me improperly." Refuses' to Answer. Oliver declined to give his Invest ments In coppers or In other lines that he said were not affected by the tariff or others legislation before congress. "I am perfectly willing to give the public an Inventory of everything 1 own," he said, "but I do not think the purpose of this investigation to secure an Inventory of every senators property." Senator Walsh Insisted that It was pertinent to ask how much Oliver had Invested In copper properties. "I cannot concede your right to ask that," returned Senator Oliver. "You're dead right," declared Senator Nelson, a republican member of the committee. Senator Reed agreed with Senator Walsh and Senator Cummins with Senator Nelson. Chairman Overman was absent. It was a tie. Senator Dupont said that although he was a member of the senate mili tary committee, the committee had acted 'Without his co-operation upon legislation concerning powder.

Senator Thomas said he had de clined to take part In considers linn of the lead and xlnc provisions be cause of his mining interests, which Include $8700 worth of stock of the Del Monte leasing company; SKO.000 worth In the Volunteer Mining com pany and 1 100,000 tn the Creed Mines company, Limited. Senator Thomas sold the only re mark to him that might be considered "Improper" came from Henry T. Ov nard, who represented beet sugar In terest! opposed to free sugar, when he told Oxnard he probably would vote with his party In support of the Underwood bill and Oxnard replied that If the free sugar provision were retained, congress would "be here un til the snow files" before the bill could be passed.

The rejoinder 'of Japan to the United States note on the subject of California alien land owner ship legislation reiterates that the land bill passed by the California legisla ture violates the spirit of the Japanese American treaty by discrimination against a friendly power. It points out that even if the Ques tion is an economic one, it enters the domain of international relations and, therefore, becomes a political question The note says that the California land legislation violates article one of the Japanese-American treaty of 1911, which authorizes subjects or citizens of the contracting parties to own or lease houses which are Inseparable parts of real estate. It also declares that the new bill violates the fourteenth amendment to the United States constitution requir ing the states to grunt equal protec tion under its laws to all persons within Its jurisdiction.

Boston. June 6. The charge to the jury by Judge Crosby was all that re mained at the opening of court today to close the trial of President William M. Wood, of the American Woolen company, Frederick K. Atteaux and B'ennls J. Collins, charged with "planting" dynamite at Ijtwrenoe to discredit the textile strikers in IBB!. Final arguments in the case, which opened Monday, May lit, were deliv ered yesterday. ; A general verdict on all counts could not be received, ac cording to a statement by Judge Cros by to counsel toj.

There were rumors of a mistrial. orated by reputable citizens, including an official of an insurance company, a merchant and others. "Bevy testified that in one case Dep uty Commissioner Dougherty, in charge of the detective bureau, gave him $23 with which to purchase bur glary tools, and alter he succeeded In the burglary proffered him $7.r for his services. City vouchers for these amounts in Levy's favor were found in the comptroller's office. "Deputy Commissioner Dougherty and others involved were subpoenaed by us and asked to waive immunity before giving their testimony. This they refused, with one exception, and they were not interrogated. Notwith standing the shocking nature of this testimony and the corroboration re ceived, the commissioner has taken no actum whatever in the premises. It is not surprising that under such discipline some detectives turn thieves." In conclusion the report says the bureau is hopeless inefficient and should be reorganized along drastic lines.

Motives of the Illinois senatorial vice-commission were questioned openly on the witness stand here today by Julius Rosenwald, president of a mail order house em ploying more than 7000 persons. "At the lirst session of this commis sion 1 came prepared to help in any way I could," said Mr. Rosenwald. "I produced our payroll, which I have failed, after several efforts, to recover, and I did my best, thinking that good might come of the investigation. Since then I have changed my opinion; the commission no longer has my confi dence." Lieutenant Governor Barrett D'Ha ra. chairman, and Senators Beall, Tos sey and Woodward of the commission listened without change of counten ance, save that Senator Beall grew somewhat red. The announcement of Rosenwald's opinion of the commission came sud denly wTicn Senator Beall asked him his opinion as to whether female help was as efficient as mule. "I prefer not to give this commis sion any opinion," replied the mall order man. Pressed further by members of the commission, .Mr. Rosenwald said: Denounces Commission. "I do not believe that the purpose of this commission is sincere." In the. course of the questioning Senator Woodward asked if it was true that Mr. Rosenwald had employ ed detectives to shadow members of tht (ommissmn, - "I will say," responded the witness. , "that anyone who says that, says what is untrue." "Then you would say that Mr. Coan, our investigator, made a mistake when he reported such to be the fact," pur sued Senator Woodward. "1 would go further and state that man w ho made that report knowingly uttered a falsehood." Senator Beall attempted to get on a friendly, man-to-man footing with tho witness, but without getting an answer to the original question. Objects to Fixed Scale. Fifty witnesses including bankers anil large employers, were scheduled to testify when the Iilllnols vice-com-eission began Its two days session here. The commission desires light on the relation of low wages of the heads of families to immorality among wo men. George M. Reynolds, president of Ihe Continental and Commercial Na tional bank was the lirst witness. Boys working for the bank, Mr. Reynolds i-aid, receive $20 or a month when they arc without experience. The av erage wage or salary of the H'.'T em ployes of the bank, Reynold said, was $".'i a month.

Any change which eliminates merit anil makes wages arbitrary would be had practice, in my opinion, replied the banker. "In dollars and cents It would make little difference to us." James Simpson, vice-president of Marshall Field & Company, the next witness, said his lirm did not employ married men who weiv Incapable of earning more than $12 u week. Perhaps if you paid better wages, more bachelors would get married." suggested Senator Heal.
