 GROWS INSOLENT
MINORITY LEADER
 ATTACKS GRAHAM Charges He Is Allowing Woman Lobbyist to
 Influence Him

Washington, April PA seathing denun- citation of members of the House commit tee on expenditures in the interior de- partment was delivered on the floor of the House today by Mr. Mann of Illinois, the minority leader. He charged that MT Graham of Illinois, chairman of the com mittee, had permitted a woman lobbyist known by him to be in the employ of per- sons pressing claims before the commit tee to shape legislation. Mrs. Helen Pierce Gray of Minnesota was the woman cited by MT. Mann. He charged for three months she had occupied a desk in the office of the commissioner of Indian af- fairs on the strength of her relations with the House committee.
 MT. Mann said that during that time Mrs. Gray had solicited and had received fees amounting to several hundred dol lars from Indian claimants before the gov ernment. MT. Mann said that dissatis- fled Indian had filed protest with Char man Graham and that he told the woman to keep the money
 Mrs. Gray, in 1908, brought charges against Indian Agent Reynolds alleging @~-~~-@-- reservation writing syndicate articles. she had been thrown into jail and threatened with incarceration in a cell with male Indian. The charges were aired for number of weeks before the Senate com mittee on Indian affairs
 The storm broke in the House today when Representative Grahams commit tee asked for the adoption of resolution providing for an Indian investigation in New Mexico. In opposing it, MT. Mann said:
 .The democratic investigations have cost the government more than $l00,O - He shook his clenched fist at the demo- cratic side as he added: They have not disclosed any scandal so great as that of a committee of the House retaining within it's scope person who solicts and receives money to use hss or her influence in forcing legislation through for the benefit of clients
 MT Mann demanded that Mrs. Gray be summarily shut out from the commit tee and the bureau of Indian affairs.
 Representative Hill, republican, also protested against the appropriation |. of any money for a further inquiry into Indian affairs. He denounced the pro posed trip to New Mexico as a forerunner of others until 100 or 150 sub-commit- tees of investigation are wandering about the country straining their olfactory sense in trying to smell out something to in- vestigate."
 MT. Graham made no reply to Mir Mann's charges and the resolution was adopted, GA to Al.

Kirtland is an enthusiastic Underwood supporter and declares that Underwood sentiment has developed won derfully during the past few weeks It is his opinion that Underwood wil carry the state by most decisive majority.
 T. S. Bell a leading attorney of Greens boro N C.. who was in Washington to- day. says that oscar Underwood has de- cldedly the largest following of any pres. idential candidate in North Carolina
 He says, however. that his state will follow the custom that has prevailed in his state for the 20 years an uninstructed delegation to the convention. The only exception to this rule was when Bryan was unopposed for the nomination in one campaign.

HIGH ESTIMATE
 OF ALABAMA ORE: Sellwood Places Merchanta- ble Ore at One Bill
 lion Tons.

Washington. April 12.--A prophecy that the ores held by the United States Steel corporation would be exhausted within 25 or 30 years and that the nat ural resources of the far west would be raised. was made today before the House steel trust investigation con- mttee by Joseph Sellwood, an ore eX- pert, who says he has secured the North American continent in search of merchantable ore.
 MT. Sellwood told the committee that in Utah there were known today to be a billion tons of merchantable ore.
 Several years ago MT. Sellwood eX- plored the Utah ores for James J. Hill inc late John W. Gates and the late E. H. Hartman. They considered those ores at that time a reserve.
 Mir. Sellwood thought the time would come when it would be practical to build steel plants on the Pacific coast when, with the completion of the Pan anna canal, the availability of the west ern ore, it was said, would increase From hearsay, he declared he would estimate the merchantable ores in Ala bama at 1.000,000. 0O0 tons, and that of Texas at 50,000.000 tons.

Have Young Child

The youngest of their children is only a few weeks old.
 In securing the marriage license, Ruoh gave the young womans name as Helen Hoffman.
 This young man came to the probate court in 1910 and secured license to marry this young woman, who, 1t since has been discovered, is his sister, said Judge Lueders to the court.
 A'I have investigated the matter care fully, and feel certain that he did not know at that time that this young woman is his sister. The discovery was not made until a comparatively short time ago. 1 had them in my office and we tried to arrive at some solution for the prob lem presented. They have two children. They still love each other, and love their children. explained to them that all though they might be able to keep the secret for years, there will come a time as surely as anything human can be cer- tain when some one will have discov- cred 1t, and it will be exposed possibly in their declining years. Or if the disclos- ure were to come not until after their death, it would he left as q heritage to their children. Now they can come into court, honestly to explain an honest mis- take, and do the only thing in their power to rectify that mistake"

Allege Neglect

The petition for divorce. filed by the husband, was upon the formal ground of neglect. The divorce was granted upon that ground to protect the young couple, so far as possible, in the record.

IT'S YOUR CAMPAIGN;
IT NEEDS YOUR HELP

If the Democratic campaign fund
were being drawn from multimlllion-
aire contributors anxious to purchase
legislative favors at the expense Of
the people there would be no need to
appeal to the voters at large for the
means to finance the campaign. The
the victims and the benedciaries Of
tariff extortion and trust monopoly,
however, must be furnished In the
main by persons Of comparatively
small means, and the contributors to
the Democratic campaign fund must
make up by strength of numbers what
they individually lack In length of
purse.
The recent statement Of the chair
man of the Democratic general finance
committee showed that 17,116 individ-
uals have contributed in the aggregate
about 100000, and that about $3.50. 900
more Is needed for the legitimate ex-
penses Of the campaign. That would
be a small sum to a candidate who
could pass around the hat among four
trust magnates and get 1t back with
$3.50, 900, but 1t is a large sum to the
supporters of Woodrow Wilson's can
didacy, and everybody should chip in
according to his means without wait
ing to see what bis neighbor is going
to do about It.

IT is UP TO YOU!

The freeborn citizen gets up when dew
Is on the grass
And sees himself reflected in a trust
made looking glass.
A trust controls the soap he finds at
length upon the stand.
And through the favor OF some trust he
takes his comb in hand.
His shoes. suspenders, shirt and socks.
the buttons on his coat,
His handkerchief, his necktie and the col
lar round his throat
All came from factories that trusts per-
NIT to operate:
A trust allows him to have coal to pile
upon the crate.
BY yielding to the sugar trust he makes
his coffee sweet:
BY bowling to the beef trust he may have
steak to eat:
The cracker trust. the -four trust. the
coffee trust. likewise,
Take tribute from the man who dwellG
where freedoms banner flies.
He rises from the table which a trust
leaves in his care
And on the trust made hall tree finds Q
trust made hat TO wear
Now see the freeborn citizen upon the
trust owned car;
BY paying tribute he may ride to where
his duties are
He sits before a trust made desk-a trust
has said he may
And, being free and equal. he tolls for
the trust all day.
At night a trust provides his light, and
when his prayers are said
The uncro wned king devoutiy kneels be-
side trust made bed.
Thus all his trusts bound up In trusts
that treat him as they please
He lives through favor OF the trusts; to
them he bends his knees.
All. let us trust that when he dies and
leaves this world Of care
Some trust will watt him to the skies and
give him glory there
