House Investigators.
 Members of the house loby investi- gating committee are: Representative F. J. Garrett of Tennessee, chairman: Cyrus Cline of Indiana, Joseph J. Rus sell of Missouri and s. A. Robbery of Georgia, Democrats, and w. H. Staf- ford of Wisconsin and Frank B. Will lis of Ohio, Republicans, and J. I. No Ian of California, Progressive.
 There were several sharp debates over the inquiry resolution. Represen- tative Mann of Illinois said that much of the Mulhall story is untrue on it's face. Representative Cooper of Wis .consin said that there is too much de- tail and too many facsimile letters and telegrams to say that the Mulhall story is untrue.
 Representative James T. McDermott of Illinois denounced the Mulhall charges as false and said that he is the victim of conspiracy.
 Chairman Overman of the senate lobby Investigating committee stated that to the National Association of Manufacturers will be granted permis- sion to be represented before the sen ate hearings by counsel if it so de sires. The name of Robert McCarter former attorney general of New Jer. sey. is mentioned in this connection That the house committee will give the same permission is probable. Senator Overman repeated that he and his colleagues on the senate com mittee did not intend to surrender any of the Mulhall documents turned over to it by the New York World until they had been used by the senate. The conference of the Overman com mittee resulted in asdecision to take up the Mulhall case today, if all the witnesses in the wool and sugar fea lures have been examined. Senator Reed has been designated to conduct the examination of Col. Mulhall. If no opening is afforded for hearins the colonel today, he will be heard early next week.

MISS N1nahan Who

THIS is partly to inform the
Carusos and Tetrazzinis, and
also the baritones, oontraltos
and basso profundos of grand opera
of their Indebtedness. not only to the
birds, but to snakes, frogs. lizards
and other reptiles, for their ability
to extract annual millions from the
pockets of music-lovers.
Any musician will tell you that
the twittering Of birds is not sing
ing, and probably you don't need to
be told that the croaking of frogs
1s not music. You will therefore be-
surprised to learn that the musical
human voice Is the result of nothing
more nor less than the anatomical
combination in the human vocal
apparatus of the widely differing
mechanisms which enable birds to
twitter and reptiles to croak or hiss.

Apparently there is as vast a DIFF.

From crawling and hopping about
