Washington, June 9. When the last
senator had testified today before the
ppeelal -committee hunting for the lob
by, it was predicted at the capitol that
the report would substantially uphold
president Wilson's declaration that
powerful influences have been at work
in Washington attempting to affect
congress on the tariff bill.
Whether it will be shown that in-
sichtmis" methods have been used will
depend upon the evidence of the next
few days when the committee will ex
amine a score or more of men who
have called on senators or directed
publicity campaigns.
The committee undoubtedly will
recommend restrictive legislation of a
strom; character. It will attempt to
draw a clear distinction, however, be
tween an organized campaign to
change public opinion or Influence
senators against their judgment and
the legitimate presentation of argu
inputs and facts by those uffocted by
legislation.
Washington, June . The senate's
Inhliv hunt plunged Into its second
week today. Less than a dozen sena
tors remained to be examined before
the committee began calling a score or
more of men mentioned In the testi
mony of senutors as being on one side
or the other of the free sugar light,
It was admitted that the investiga
tion already had outgrown its original
hounds. It originally was Intended to
develop evidence concerning the influ
ences President Wilson charged wew-
being brought against the tariff bill,
Under the extension of time granted
by the senate, Chairman Overman's
committee expected to develope all the
new phases.
' President Wilson told callers today
he expected the lobby Investigation
to have beneficial results through the
publicity given to conditions surround
lug the making of the tariff bill. When
asked of his opinion of the charge

own inlluence, the president that 11
needed no comment.
Senator Reed said he had no person,

did not know any lnbblst, had not
been subject to any attempts at Inllu

money improperly. He was .certain
however, that a new system of at
tempting to influence legislation had
risen In this country.
. He illustrated by telling the com
mittee about telegrams from horse and
mule dealers in St. Louis, saying:
"Please vote for a duty on sugar; It
in necessary to preserve the mule In

"I is plain to me that sugar planters
were seeking to Influence the men

he. "Judging from these clreum

Early yesterday morning a number
of yeggmen worked with their tools
anil explosives on the safe in the
United Slates postoffice at Kerners
ville, a small place 18 miles northwest
of Greensboro on the Winston-Salem
branch of the Southern railway, thus
providing as it were a hit of local color

yeggish activities in this section gen

the latter of which is thn hihem f unce. directly in
the parcel post denomination. The
theft was discovered yesterday morn
ing at 6:0 o'clock when the postmas
ter went to tho postofflce.
Postoffice Inspector I. W. Ilmlirln
wfio lives at 120 South Mendenhall
street, Greensboro, was notified and
spent yesterday at Kernersville taking
note of the situation and hunting for
clues. Returning last night he said
there were scanty clues as to the par
ties who, supposedly, hud four or live '
hours start. -
The work was so neatly done there I
was no doubt they, were professionals. I
It was thought there were three of .
them, they usually going on such jobs,
with this number.-
The explosion was heard by three or
four people in Kernersville at a time
said to have heen about 1:30 o'clock.
It was described as a low rumbling
sound, but none took It seriously
enough' to make an Investigation at
that time. ... , v
Coming as It does in this section to
which so many activities of yeggmen
have been attributed, and after It was
thought onost of them had either been
caught or scared, Sunday morning's
adventure was , conclusive evidence
that the yeggs have not lost heart by
any means. It was evident, too, that
the authorities have not spared away
all the good ones, the Job at Kerners
ville having evidences of being rather
neatly and efficiently done, with tfie
more than $13000 gone and with the
burglars completely disappeared.
It has been suggested that the bur
glars went to Kernersville in an auto
mobile, thus effecting their escape.

Washington, June !l. Convictions
of five ot the officials of the Naval
Stores company of Savannah, the so
called turpentine trust, for criminal
violation of the Sherman law were
set aside today by the Supreme court
because of an erroneous instruction of
the trial Judge. Justice Pitney was
the only dissenter to the opinion.
Otticials of the department of jus
tice, however, did not regard the de
cision as one generally unfavorable to
I tho criminal section of the Sherman
law. They never considered that they
had a strong case.
Edmund S. Nash, president of the
company, had been fined $:!000; J. F.
Cooper Myers, vice-president, lined
$ 2 r 0 0 and sentenced to jail for three
months; Spencer P. Shotter, chairman
of the board, lined $3000 and sentenc
ed to jail for three months; George
Meade Koardman, treasurer, . lined
$200 anil Carl Moller, manager of the
Jacksonville branch, fined $5000.
. All these sentences were set aside.
Shelter's and Meyers' cases were the
first convictions for violation of the
Sherman anti-trust law carrying jail
sentences to come before the Supreme
court.
The trial judge instructed the jury
that a conviction could be had if the
defendants were found guilty of "any"
of the means charged to effect a mon
opoly. One of those means. Justice
Holmes said in announcing the court's
decision, wis an offense which would
not be a restraint Of trade but mere
cheating, punishable by state law. In
announcing the court's decision Jus
tice Holmes said that the "rule of rea
son" did not make the forbidden acts
so indelinite as to make the Sherman
anti-trust law us a criminal measure
unconstitutional.
(Hie contention of the convicted offi
cials was that the criminal section of
the anti-trust law was unconstitu
tional because the acts forbidden were
too Indefinitely stated.
. While the case has been going on
the company has gone in bankruptcy.
The convictions which came up
from the court of appeals for the fifth
circuit were upon indictments alleging
that the defendants had conspired to
manipulate the naval stores market
so that competitors and producers
could not sell except at ruinous prices
and had bee guilty of various other
methods of monopoly and restraint of
trade. The company is understood to
control about 75 per cent of the tur
pentine supply of the world und about
90 per cent of the American product.
