Washington, D. c., May 30.--After d
sharp debate over terms the senate
tonight adopted a resolution INSTRUCT
ing the judiciary committee to inves
tigate the charge that lobby is being
maintained Gn Washington or else
where to influence pending legislation
with emphasis on its efforts for or
against the Underwood tariff bill. The
resolution was in direct response 10
the public statement made by Presi-
dent Wilson that an insidious lobby
was operating against the tariff bill
President Wilson in his talk with
the newspaper correspondents today
declared he was in sympathy with the
resolution and would furnish the
names of the lobbyists if the public
necessity required.
Under the resolution which was in
troduced by Senator Cummins with
by Senator Cummins
with amendments by Senator Kern
the judiciary committee is directed to
report its findings within ten days. No
provision was made for open hearings.
The resolution directs the commit
tee to report the names and methods
of lobbyists and the bills they are
seeking to change"

ARE HERE
FOR SALE
FARMERS HAVE FAIR CROP
None Too Good a Price Paid
For Them

The many wagon loads of oats in
the slleaf brought to Americas thi7
week daily and offered for sale upon
.t.c streets evidence the fact that the
cat crop OF Sumter. while not as large
as expected, was by no means a fall
IRE because of the rust that attacked
it several weeks ago, threatening very
serious damage
The oats brought in for sale re,
Gently were disposed of readily at $50
per ton, which is a low price, when it
is considered that Missouri hay is
selling here at $25 per ton, and that
oats as feed for stock is preferable.
Comparatively few farmers are thus
selling any considerable portion ..
their oat crop, as it is needed more at
home for live stock, in view of the
shortage of the corn supply and the
prevailing high prices charged for an
kinds of grain and hay.

DISINTERRED LEES BODY
FROM DUNGENESS GRAVE
His Remains to Be Taken to
Virginia

Brunswick, Ca, May 3O.-The body
of Light Horse Harry" Lee, which
has rested quietly at Dungeness, on
Cumberland island for almost a hun
dred years, has been disinterred and
the remains are now en- route to their
native home in Virginia.
A delegation from the Virginia legis-
lation arrived at Dungeness and were
entertained during their stay by Mrs.
Carnegei, owner of the island. When
the old historic grave which held the
body of the father of Gen. Robert Il
Lee was opened the body was disin-
TERED, placed in a handsome new
casket, and will not be buried in the
Lee cemetery in Virginia. The casket
was borne from Dungeness to Fernan-
dina aboard one of Mrs. Carnegie's
private yachts, and was forwarded
from that city over the Seaboard Air
Line, accompanied by members of the
Virginia legislature. At the old Lee
home in Virginia, the body will be bu
ried with appropriate ceremonies.
The fight by the state of Virginia to
secure the body of Light Horse Har-
ry" Lee has been in progress for years.
The fight was bittery opposed by va
rious georgia organizations, especial
~ the Daughters of the American Rev
olution, but there was no law by which
the body could be retained on Georgia
soil, and the state of Virginia won it's
fight The state legislature last year
appropriated a sum of money to de-
fray the expenses of removing the
body, and also of continuing the fight
for it.
Col Lee died on Dungeness nearly a
hundred years ago while en- route %
his home from the West India islands.
He stopped at Dungeness to visit Gen.
Nathaniel Green, there took i'll and died
and his remains were inferred on the
island, During recent years various
Confederate organizations of Virginia
have been fighting to have the body re-
moved to the native state of Col Lee,
whore the body of his son, Gen. Rob
ert :. Lee, now rests, but the fight was
not auct essful until the state legisld-
tue tnCK charge of it, appointed a spc-
cial committee to make an investisl-
ton ard make all arrangements fer
the removal of the body.

SMITHS DELAY NOT
PLEASING TO KERN
Investigation of West Virginia
Strike Put Off

Washington, d. c., May Ex-senator
Eoke Smith, chairman of the Educa
ton and Labor Committee, which is
charged with the Senate investigation
into conditions in the strike zone in
the West Virginia coal fields, declared
to-day he was too busy to get his
committee together Immediately. Ad-
vocates of the investigation urged that
plans for the probe be made at once,
but Senator Smith said he probably
would not call his committee to-
gether before Saturday
This was not satisfactory to Senator
Kern, author of the investigation res
olution passed by the Senate, and his
supporters. They declared the delay
Unnecessary and said they would take
steps to have the committee to meet
tomorrow whether Senator Smith is
sues a call for the meeting or not
The proponents of the investigation
are anxious to have a subcommittee
start as soon as possible for the West
Virginia fields to make a personal eX-
animation of conditions there.
