Senator Gallinger Thinks tht, President's Threats to Busine&a Come "Peri lously Near Lob bying." PATRONAGE IS HELD UP, HE OBSERVES Thinks the "Insidious Lobby Scare" Was Gotten up to "Influence Public Opinion." " - By Associated Press. Washington, June 13. President AVilwin's name in connection , with 'White House Influence" for the tariff bill was brought before the senate lnhby Investigating committee again toilay by Senator Gulllnger, who de clared the, president had come "peril ously near lobbying" in some of the things he had done In connection with thrt tariff bill. Democratic senators subjected him to a long cross-examination on the subject of White House Influence. ' ' Senator Galllnger's statements came as a profound sensation. He was about to leave the stand when Senator ileed asked a final question. "When a man says that he would hang some one as high as, Hainan' if that person did not do certain things," said Senator Gallinger, and 'that in dustry which, proposed reduction of wages and did so would be investi gated,' I think it is about the worst kind of influence I can imagine.' "What do you think 6i a public official that gets up a Bcare about an insidious lobby?" asked Senator Nel wn. "That he intends to influence public opinion and the opinion of public men," return Senator Gallinger. . "Would you regard It as a species of lobby?" "From my own Inability to define the term to my own satisfaction pert haps 1 WbultJ, not like 'to' "Say. """If Was a species of lobby influehce." "It was an intimation that men ore afraid to use tholr own Judgment lest the people suspect them of lobbying?" persisted Senator Nelson. "It so impressed me," replied Sen ator (iulllnger, " "You think then that members of connreRs can be Intimidated?" asked Chairman Overman, "I have no disposition to criticise your officials for cheap partisan pur poses," returned Gallinger. : Mr. Gallinger added that he did know thut many democrats were com plaining because, more offices were not tilled and molt nominations rot sent to the senate. "You don't mean to Intimate that the president holding up appointments to compel them to vote for legislation they don't desire?" "I make no charge." Ilect Sugar Men Still Under Fire. Ueet sugar Interests and their efforts to retain a protective duty on sugar were again under scrutiny when the senate lobby Investigating committee today resumed hearings. To what extent public documents had been circulated In behalf of the campaign to retain the sugar protec live tariff again occupied much of the attention of the committee. While the sugar representatives paid for the printing of most of the document, the fact that they had 'ecn presented as "public documents" by senators or representatives made H possible for them to be circulated through the malls without th'e pay ment of postage. Senator Gallinger told the commit tee he had no interests outside of a "little rocky farm In New Hampshire,'-' where he raised hay and apples. He knew of no Improper Influence or lobbying methods. "During my public life of four years In the house and 22 years In the sen at"," he said, "I have never been ap proached by any one In behalf of any leKlslatlon that seemed to me im lniMr. "So long as men ran nrouerly exert Influence to secure legislation, as has '"en done In very high quarters. It ought to be permitted to the inter ested parties to use personal appeal In opposition to that legislation," said he. Chairman Overman asked Senator Gallinger for his opinion on the changing of a public document after It hHd been ordered printed by the enato. It-developed In testimony yes ierday that such a thing had been "one in a document franked by Sena tor Lodge. I would consider that absolutely inaerenslble, If not criminal," return Kenator Gallinger. Addition to White House Clilnaware Collection. (By -Associated Press) Washington, Juns It.

NONE USED POSITION FOR PRIVATE PROFIT Report Condemns Publication of Charges' 'Whitewash' ' Says Unionists of the Outcome, By Associated Press. Ixmdon, June 13. British cabinet ministers were today absolved by the parliamentary committee from all blame In connection wjth the scandals alleged to have surrounded the con tracts between the British government and the Marconi Wireless company. The report of the committee which investigated the affair was issued to day. It declares that there is no foun dation for any of the charges that were lodged against Attorney General Sir Rufus D. Isaacs, Chancellor of the Exchequer David Lloyd-George or Postmaster General Herbert L. Samuel,. .. ', . The committee finds that all the ministers concerned acted throughout n the sincere belief that there were othlng Jn their action which would onfiict with their duties as ministers f the crown. . The report further' says that "no evidence was given showing that any member of the British government ex ercised any influence to procure the contract . for the English Marconi ompany or in any way acted con trary to the public interest In behali of that company, or used knowledge acquired in his official capacity for his private profit, or was In any wise concerned In any dealings in the hares of the company." 1 The report In . conclusion strongly condemns -the- publication , of charges which were" absolutely untrue and which those responsible for their cir culation had no reason to believe true.": The foregolrtg extracts are from the majority report. ' The majority of the parliamentary committee was composed of liberal and radical members of parliament. It is understood that there will be ml nority reports but these have not yet been made public. ' Whitewash Say Vnionlsts. The proceedings of the parliainen tary committee are published In detail. They include the draft report propos ed by Lord Robert Cecil, leader of the anti-governmental members of the committee. The draft reports stated that while no minister or government official had been Influenced In his public duties by.any interest in the Marconi under takings, the ministers concerned had acted with grave impropriety. The draft reported was negatived by eight votes against six. Unionist public opinion describes the committee's report as "white wash." The unionist press and public are showing great resentment against Sir Edward Carson and Frederick E. Smith, two of the unionist leaders, for having associated themselves with ex oneration of the cabinet ministers by acting as counsel for Godfrey Isaacs, managing director of the Marconi company, and a brother of Sir Rufus Isaacs in the recent libel cases against Cecil Chesterton.

MEETING LAST NIGHT TO CONSIDER MATTER Temporary Organization KITecU-d Contend Timber Lands Would Greatly Depredate-. The lumber .' and. timber men df Ashevllle and western North Carolina have organized to make a fight before the interstate commerce commission, on September 27, for the conservation, of what they declare Is approximately $10,000,000 in property values In this section of the state, and tor the sav ing of freight tariffs on lumber to the amount of about $1000 a day. The temporary organization was effected at a meeting of about 20 of the lumber and timber men of the city and sec tion at the Langrenf hotel last night. A committee was appointed to draw up a constitution and bylaws, and the organization will bei perfected at an other meeting to bej.held at an early date.: ' ." The fight is to be made on the pro posed advance in freight rates on the lines of the Southern railway in this section, relative to the transportation of lumber. The tariff department of the road announced the new rates a short time ago, and according to the new tariff the rate on lumber, from points between White Pine, Tenn., and Hickory, N. C, affecting all the branch lines In this section, to Virginia cities and pointa in the east was raised be tween five and 28 per cent. Tp far eastern points the increase was only about five per cent, -while to Virginia cities it was 28 per cent. The lumbermen of the section ap pealed to the National Wholesale Lum ber Dealers' association for assistance, and In compliance with this appeal a complaint was tiled by W. S. Phiffen, the rate expert for the association, be fore the Interstate commerce commis sion. The tariff is now suspended un til theihearin-o -iWt.tiim.ber ,2 7T. and the organization formed last night will be for the purpose of assisting the national association In its fight, and will probably become a party to the complaint that has been filed be fore the commission. The lumbermen of the section are up in arms about the proposed in crease, and propose to put up a stub born fight. It is estimated that 100 car loads of lumber are produced, in the section affected, every day of the year. According to. the new rate the average increase of freight per car, considering both Virginia cities and eastern -points, would be about $10. That would mean that $1000 a day would be taken out of the prolits of the business. It is said. One big con cern that is now in operation esti mates that, the new rate would cost it between $25,000 and $30,000 a year: while another company, which is to begin operations at an early date, es timates that the new rate would cost it practically double this amount an nually. The lumbermen are considering the proposition further than this loss, however. . They estimate that the value of timber lands In the section. If the proposed rate should become ef fective, would decrease, anywhere be tween $3 and $6 an aere. There are between two and three million acres of such lands In the section affected and they say a conservative estimate on the basts Is that the deprecation in land values would be at least $10,- 000,000. Although the light against this in crease is the prime object of the asso elation, It is likely that ' the organlza Hon will become a permanent one, and will be In the nature of a clear Ing house for the lumbermen of the section. Various features of the work that could be accomplished were dis cussed at the meeting last night, and It Is believed that within a short time the association will lie able to main tain permanent headquarters, and i rate expert In charge. Every man present last night pledged himself to membership In the organization and to co-operatjon In the work which It will undertake. Water Baseball Now. By Associated Press. New York, June It.

WILL URGE PASSAGE AT SPECIAL SESSION Committee Declares Issue Should Be Submitted to the States for Objec tion or Ratifica tion. 1 By Associated Press. Washington, June 13. Senator Ashurst submitted today the report of the woman's suffrage committee recommendading the passage of the Chamberlain resolution for a consti tutional amendment extending suf lrage to women. "That the granting of the elective franchise to women would add to the strength, efficiency, justice and fair ness of government, we have not the slightest doubt," says the report. "It Is anomalous and archlac In a free republic, professedly made up- of. : controlled by and administered for all the people, to deny to one-half of Its citizens the right of exercising a val uable function of citizenship, thus pre cluding that one-half from the right and power to say what law or policy shall be Its rule of conduct. And, this anomaly becomes odious and abhor rent when we' reflect that the particu lar half of citizenship thus excluded Is the identical one-half from which springs so much wisdom, courage. cheer, hope and good counsel." The report sets forth that the things to be considered in granting equal franchise are whether women as a class will vote when full oppor tunity is offered; attempt to learn something of the character and fit ness of the person for whom they vote; vote against dishonest persons for office ; -oppose dishonest! ineanu rest -refuse directly or indirectly to accept or give a bribe; place country above party; recognize the result Of the elec tion as the will of the people and therefore as law, and continue to fight for a righteous, although defeated cause as long as there Is reasonable hope of success. "We submit," the report concludes, "that the class of voters sought to be enfranchised by this resolution an swers each and every one of these in terrogatories with distinguished credit to itself and that it will fearly and In good faith measure up to these re quirements. We therefore conclude that the resolution should he sub mitted to the states for their objec tion or ratification." Senator Ashurst said he would use every means to secure a vote on the resolution at the special session, but that he would not press It in such a way as to interfere with tariff leg islation.
