SO HE TOLD THE NEWSPAPER MEN THIS MORNING. At the Weekly Conference at the White House. Thinks the Probe Em Already Resulted in Many Lobbyists Leaving the Capitol, Be aides Bringing Out Important Facta Regarding the Tariff. Pres ident Not Assuming to Be Dictator, Sari Senator Simmons. Washington, June 9. President Wilson told correspondents at the weekly conference that lie is grent ly pleased thus far with the lobby in quiry.' He thinks that the probe has resulted in many lobbyists leaving I lie capital, in addition to bringing out important facts regarding the tariff. President Wilson is not assuming the role of dictator in the Senate tar iff deliberations. This was the em phatic statement of Senator Simmons, chairman of the Finance committee. Senator Simmon's ire was aroused by the attacks on the President by per sons saying he is meddling. The President is merely acting in an ad visory capacity. The Lobby Probe. Washington, June 9. With the be ginning of the second week of the lob by probe the Democratic members decided to force the Republicans to take the initiative if Democratic witnesses are recalled in an attempt to sustain the Townsend charges that President Wilson is a lobbyist.

He admitted that he had tried to influence Senators in this respect. He declared that he has knowledge that permanent labor and other lobbies are. here, but this is legitimate lobby ing, he said. SIDENT WILSON'S CHARGES SUSTAINED. PRE SOUTHERN MEMORIAL TO NORTHERN SOLDIER. Indianapolis, Ind., June 9. Veter ans of the Union ami t 'on federate armies, with many other interested spectators, thronged the rotunda of the Indiana rapitol building this af ternoon and listened to addresses typifying the best patriotic feeling of both the North and the South. The occasion was one almost with out pVecedent the unveiling of a memorial erected by Confederate vet erans in honor of a Union soldier. The memorial is a bronze bust of Colonel Richard Owen, who was the commander at Camp Morton in this city, where some 4.000 Confederate soldiers were confined after the cap ture of Fort Donelsin by the Union forees. The movement to honor the memory of Colonel Owen was initiat ed by S. A. Cunningham, editor of the Confederate Veteran, of Nash ville, Tenn., who we one of the pris oners at Camp Morton. The cost of the memorial, amounting to about $3,000, was contributed by other vet erans who had been prisoners of war at Camp Morton and all of whom were pleased at the opportunity to manifest their gratitude to the com mander who did everything in his power to make things more comfort able for them during their confinement. The ceremonies at the unveiling of the memorial were of a brief but im pressive character. Governor Rals ton made the opening address of wel come. General Bennet II. Young, of Louisville, commander-in-chief of the United Confederate Veterans, made address of presentation and Vice President Thomas R. Marshall ac cepted the memorial in behalf of the State of Indiana. Other participants in the programme were Mr. Cun ningham, donor of the memorial, President Bryan, of Indiana Univer sity, President Stone of Purdue Uni versity, and Miss Belle Kinner, of New York, who designed the bust. So Declares Senator Overman, Chair man of the Investigating Commit tee. ' Washington, June 9. "President Wilson's charge that a powerful and insidious lobby is fighting to defeat the tariff measure has been fully sus tained." This was the emphatic declaration of Senator Overman, of North Caro lina, chairman of the Senate investi gating committee when he announced that the investigation would be ex tended over the ten day period which the Cummins resolution, creating the committee, specified. Senator Overman declared that the sixty-five Senators who had been ex amined had proven conclusively to the committee that at least three spe cialized lobbies, with branches reach ing out all over the country, are us ing every method to defeat eertain provisions in the Wilson-Underwood bill. These lobbies, he said, were the sugar "trust," wool "trust," anl in surance organization. When the probing committee mak es its Hal report, Senator Overman said, it will include a tentative bill prohibiting interested parties from urcinir their views on legislative mat ters opon individual Congressmen. It wilt provide that ail interested par ties must make their arguments be i fore committees. , , . Eftn Money as to Frank's Guilt. Atlanta, June 9. Even money was money was watered in the Kimball house lobby 'asl night thai' Leo M. Frank would never be convicted for the murder of Mary Phagan The bet represents pretty fairly the pres ent popular division of opinion on the subject Tt is considered everywhere except in the solicitor general's office, that the case as it will go to the jury, is a good deal veaker sine the negro Conley has made his statements. It isn't so much r question of public opinion changim: as to Frank's guilt or innocence; it is rather a reflection of the opinion, pievalent particular ly among members of the bar, that regardless of whether Frank is inno cent or guilty, the solicitor and the detectives have made a mess of what evidence they have got against him.
