WASHINGTON. May :7. (Special)
The unanimous consent of the sen
ate iu cured by Senator Overman
today for an investigation by, the
United States puhlto health service,
of the tuberculoila cure which has
teen practiced by Dr. Karl Von Ruck,
of Ashevllle. By the Overman resolu
tion the secretary of the treasury la
directed to have the publlo health ser
vice thoroughly examine every phase
of the' Von Ruck cure, with a view
At adopting It as the national method
of combatting the ' "white plague."
It Is quite probable that within a
few days Burgeon General Blue will
detail one or two surgeons to go to
Ashevllle and make the investigation
and report, upon lines similar to those
adopted with regard to the Fried
mann cure, to which work Doctors
Anderson and Stimson were detailed.
The navy department, under the di
rection of Secretary Daniels, has al
ready made a preliminary Investiga
tion of the Von Ruck cure, and Dr.
E. R, Stitt, who was born in Char
lotte, la very enthusiastic over the
results of the experiments he has
made with Dr. Von Ruck's
serum. As stated in these dispatches
a nveek ago, the Naval Medical school
of thjs city, .recently received a quan
tity of Dr. Von Ruck's serum and ia at
present (carrylng on experiments witn
animals, under the personal direction
of Dh Stitt, who la the navy expert
on diseases of a tubercular nature.
GalUnger Objects Orrtalnly.
When Senator Overman offered his
resolution today la ihe. senate Senator
Galling er -; trrunw-ately arose and
atate, .that it was .adopting a bad
practice for the government to inves
tigate every' alleged cure for tubercu
losis,' at there were so many ptoysl
clans who claimed a cure that the
government would fe practically
swamped In a very short time.
Senator Overman replied that he
was aware of this' danger, but that
the Von Ruck cure possessed so. much
merit .that an immediate, investiga
tion was warranted. He explained that
the navy department had already
made an. investigation which had
convinced, the naval surgeons that
Von Ruck's immunization methods
were a great-advance upon anything
heretofore advocated.
"If you have any doubt as to the
merit of the Von Ruck treatment,"'
aid Senator Overman, "there is a

WASHINGTON. May J 7. Chair
man Simmons, of the senate finance
committee, will call at the state de
parttnent tomorrow to discuss with
Secretary Bryan the perplexing prob
lems which have arisen' because of
foreign protests to administrative fea
tures of the tariff bill. Nearly the
entire time of today's cabinet meet
ing wna devoted to this phase of the
Situation,
Orator Simmons, after arranging
today for a conference with the sec
retary of state, admitted that nu
merous protests had been filed with
the committee from Germany, France,
Oreat Britain and other countries.
He said that before the committee
took action relating to them the
whole question would be thoroughly
discussed with the state department.
Complaints have been made that
certain clauses of "the Underwood
bill wjulcl ,ibro;ta treaties with for
eign countries. It was reported that
the German ambassador would soon
bring to Washington a protest
against the provision which would
grant a t per cent discount in the
tariff on Imports In American-own ea
or controlled vessels,
t.- vPreetdet la WilUng.
There hare been intimations that
President Wilson would not object to
an elimination of this provision, which
is said to be held by Germany to
violate the commerce and navigation
treaty of 1828. Ambassador Jusser
and. of France, also has lodged pro
testa which the finance committee
chairman and state department heads
will discuss.
Senator Thomas, of Colorado, In a
speech during which he declared he
would support the Underwood bill si
it cornea from the finance committee
branded as a false reflection of pub
lic sentiment In his own state a pro
test against the sugar schedule for
warded to the senate by bankers and
commercial organisations of Denver.
This communication bad been sub- f
mitted by Senator Khafroth, of Colo- I
rado. by request. Senator Thomas1
described the protest as the part of
an organized effort being carried on
by "the best sugar' monopoly to
manufacture artificial public senti
ment and bring it to bear on the sen
ators from Colorado."
Colorado Is Active.
Many communications from people
in Colorado, urging the senators te
stand py the democratio program
were read.
Senator Thomas attacked the
"over-capitalization of the best sugar
companies"' declaring that- the $50,
000,000 capitalization ef the compa
nies In Colorado was $30,000,000
water, en which they paid dividends,
on the "preferred and watered stock"
and that one of the companies had a

United States Senators Would
' Have Matter Investigated
Without Least Delay .
RESOLUTIONS ARE
FORMALLY TURNED IN
Members of Upper House Do-
V - - -s.
clare They Do Not Know
Any Lobbyists
WASHINGTON, May 27. President
Wilson's charge that an "Insidious
lobby" is at work in Washington In
behalf of desired changes in the tariff
bill was brought to the formal notice
of the senate today through a reso,
lution by Senator Cummins demanding
an immediate Investigation by a com
mittee of five senators to determine
the identity of all persons who had
made efforts to present arguments or
bring influence to bear In favor of
chances in the tariff law. A similar
resolution was introduced in the
house by Representative Tavenner, of
Illinois.
Senator Cummins attempted to get
immediate action of his resolution
which would authorise the greatest in"
vestigation of so called "lobbying"
ever undertaken by congress.
Senator Gallinger at first objected
to the resolution as "absurd." Later
he withdrew his objection but on de
mand of Benator Owen, the Cummins
resolution went finally over for one
day without action.
The proposed investigation would
require all 'seiir-tors to glv names of
persons who had approached or writ
ten them in the interest of tariff
changes; would request President Wil
son to furnish names of persons re
ferred to in his statement yesterday
that a great and powerful lobby was
at work and would authorise the sen
atorial committee te determine wheth
er the action of any lobbyist, who
might be discovered was proper or im
proper. ;- -
Gallinger Says Us Absurd. '
"It Is absurd to demand" that (he
names be given of toe who nave'
talked with senators about the tariff
bill." declared Senator Oallinger.
"Men are here because they have a
right to be here, because they repre
sent the great Interests of the coun
try that are Imperilled by proposed
changes In the tariff. To call them
lobbyists Is absurd."
"I recognize the right of any Inter
est affected by pending legislation te
appear and offer argument." said
Senator Cummins. "I do not know
that any lobbyists are here. None
have approached me. But. we have a
tariff bill before us.
"Now, it is said by the highest au
thority, that a lobby of great propor
tions, employing means of the most
insidious and illegitimate character, is
engaged In the effort to secure chang
es In the bill as now proposed. The
publlo has been led to believe and
will believe that If any changes are
made they will ha.v, been due to their
influence.
What hi Lobbyist?
"I don't know what a lobbyist la
If it ia the man who appears to make
legitimate arguments, I am for him.
But, the country has a right to know
what Influences are surrounding the
senate of (he United States, to know
who Is hers and who Is attempting by
argument, by influence or by persua
sion, to change the tariff rates."
The fight over the lobby resolution
ended abruptly at the objection of
Senator Owen. The presidents publlo
statement of yesterday had brought
an earlier comment in the senate from
Senator Thornton, one of the demo
cratic senators from Louisiana, who
opposes the presidents free sugar pro
gram. Commenting en steps that
