the Interior Department was ss thor
oughly permeated with Pan-Eleclric
schemes as the law del artment un6er
Garland. Around Secretary Lamar
there were baf a dozen Southern
men, all more or Pss interested, di-
rectly or indirectly, in the Pan-BlectIic
matter. Although they may have
never said word to Secretary Lamar,
the silent and all the more powerful
influence of their relations with him
was exc cised in bringing about the
in:titption OF the government suits.
1t would not be surprising ii they
used this information for ock job
bipg" But little cfedence is placed
on the statements OF Mr.. Davis, and
the alleged exposure huds few sup
porters here.

THE DEMOCRATIC MEMBERS
of the House find il very difficult to
agree upon the order of business for
the remainder Of the session. Sew.
eral attempts have been made TO call
the COMMITTEES chairmen together 10
formulate a plan of procedure. The
outlook tonight for an early adjourn
ment ia very discouraping, and il is
not probable that the session will
close before August lst. Concerning
this situation of affairs, Speaker Car
lisle said tonight; "The plain truth
is that. after dawdling more than six
months. the House finds itself at the
beginning of the hot season with the
bulk of lis work sill on the calendar,
and n ia difFicult IN spe how any con-
ference of committee chairmen can
mend matters"
