THE WASHINGTON END OF IT
Washington, D. c., July s.-Sen.
Reed of Missouri, chief cross-exam-
iner for the Senate lobby Investigate
ing committee, today analysed for
the United Press the evidence taken
so far by that committee and gave
what he believes will be the result of
these disclosures. His statement fol-
lows:
BY JAMES A. REED,
U. S. Senator from Missouri.
The lobby investigation and it's at
tendant disclosures have demon
strated what has long been sUs-
pected:
That the great special interests
have secretly and effectively directed
and controlled legislation. l do not
mean that all legislation has been
thus controlled, but that the inter
ests have been a potential influence
is beyond question. Evidence plainly
shows:
First, That they have opposed the
election of men known to be opposed
to their plans and desires.
Second, That they have secretly
given aid and support, both financial
any moral, to those who have been
subservient to their interests.
Third, That they have carefully
and secretly affected public SEN
timent through carefully prepared
news matter sent out through the
press of the country.
Fourth, That with great skill they
have carried on a propaganda with
their business connections and by
this means sought to influence votes
of congressman.
Fifth, That they have maintained
lobbyists in Washington whose bust

FIX $4,000
AS COST OF
WOODEN WHARF

When City Council meets as com
mittee Of the whole tonight Alexan-
der J. Taylor. chief engineer Of the
Street and Sewer Department Will
submit his report on the probable cost
Of wooden wharf at the city's water
front along Church street Mr.. Tay-
lor estimated several weeks ago that
a concrete structure would cost
about $4,000. The wooden struc-
ture would cost about $4,000. This
is at the rate Of $50 a foot and does
not include incidentials which would
cost about $4,000.
That a wharf should be built there
even if bonds have to be Issued TO
get the money, is the belief of ma
jority of the Councilmen, as well as
hundreds of citizens II has been
suggested that Council build some
kind of a wharf and that the city
erect thereon shelter sheds which
will suffice to protect truckers and
consumers from inclement weather.
The idea is to establish right on the
wharf a market where residents of
the city could meet the New Jersey
farmers and buy their produce at
greatly reduced prices. The city would
thereby get a revenue, those who
would use the wharf, no doubt being
willing to pay fair rental for the
privilege of landing there and expos
ing their wares for sale

JUDGE SAYS PRESS
NEEDS REGULATING

The meeting of the Westminster
Mems Club of Hanover Presbyterian
Church last evening was of unusual
interest because Of the spirited de-
bate on the question, that the mod
ern press needs regulation, which
followed the election of officers and
brief business session. The election
of officers resulted as follows: VIII
liam Staniar president; S. II. Bay
nard, vice-president; James Berry,
second vice-president; DR.. Harold
HILBERT, secretary; Clarence For
ward, treasurer.
William Staniar and DR.. Harold
HILBERT took the affirmative side of
the question. and the negative side
was represented by John S. Hamilton
and Leon Walker.
The debate was intensely interest
ing. and the debaters handled the
subject splendidly and argued the
question from every standpoint both
in favor of, and against it.; both sides
scoring many good points When the
debate had ended and the judges,
William Bryan. j. Chandler Pyle and
Harry A. Hunt were called upon to
give a decision in the matter, there
was some hard thinking done be-
cause of the excellent way in which
the question had been presented by
both sides but the final decision given
by the judges was that the modern
press does need regulation.
Following the. debate, a very CHEEKY
social hour was enjoyed by those
present with refreshments served by
