appear before Judge Benjamin F. Kel-
Ter early this week. The government,

INQUIRY SOON TO END
President Says Townsend
Charge Against Him Is Un-
worthy OF Comment.

Washington, D. c.. June 9.-When
the last senator testified today before
the lobby" committee it was gener-
ally predicted at the capitol that the
report of the investigators would sub
stantially uphold President Wilson's
declaration that powerful Influences
have been at work in Washington in
attempting to affect congress on the
tariff bill.
Whether ii will be shown that "in-
sidious" methods have been used or
improper influences ahve been exert
ed upon senators, will depend upon
the evidence of the next few days,
when the committee examines a score
or more of men who called on senators
or directed publicity campaigns.
FOR STRICT LEGISLATION.
The committee undoubtedly will rec
ommend restrictive legislation OF
strong character 1t will attempt to
draw a clear distinction, however, be-
tween an organized campaign to
change public opinion or influence SEN
ators against their judgment and the
and facts by officers or representa-
tives of industrial concerns affected
| by legislation.
POINDEXTER CAUSES STIR.
Senator Poindexter made the com.
mittee sit up when he named several
former members of congress whom he
believed might be found to have prac-
| 1nhh 10 fp
mer Senators Dick of Ohio; Butler of
North Carolina; Dubois of Idaho, and
former Representatives Watson OF In
diana, and Littauer of New York.
He did not accuse any of improper
attempts to influence congress, but
suggested they might know some in
teresting things"
81 think there has been some objec-
tionable and scandalous lobbying
here" said Poindexter, "Iess now than
in 1909, but it is here now. | don't
mean money has been used"
PoindeXter told of dinner about IS
months ago at which several senator's
were present and at which conserva-
tion was discussed.
COAL INTERESTS HOSTS.
81 heard afterwards don't know
how true it is-that the dinner was
paid for by coal interests, although
given in another mans name" he said.
He preferred not to give the names
of senators present. He called the at
tentiOn of the committee to dinners
given by Edward Hines, a Chicago
lumberman, and TO the Successful
campaign" of Littauer, who, he said,
was able to hold the Payne Aldrich
bill in conference many days and Sc
cure finally compromise on the glove
schedule, in which he was interested.
PUBLICITY WILL AID.
! President Wilson told callers to-day
he expected the lobby investigation
to have beneficial results through pub
licity given to conditions surrounding
the making of the tariff bill Asked
| his opinion of the charge made by
Senator Townsend as to his own influ-
ence with reference to the legislation.
