ASSESSORS ORDERED
TO TAX STATES LAKES
fspecinI 10 the newark star.l

NEWTON. N. J.. May 20.-The Sus-
sex county assessors who will take
the field go forth instructed to put
all lakes on their books for assess
ment President Frank s. Ounce, OF
the board of assessors, author of the
new regulation, told the assessors
that the lakes of the county are fit
subjects of taxation, because they are
sources of revenue.
AS an instance of what some of the
lakes are worth, the president cited
the case of Swartswood. for which
one man offered 10000. He said the
offer was refused.
Ounce also told them to tax bank
balances wherever found. He said
recent bank deposits showed total
of s4,s24.746. None of this has in the
past been assessed, but Ounce wishes
to see all of it paying its share.

PROBE LOBBY CHARGE
Accused Men Demand Full InvestIsa.
tIon Of MulhaIi's underground
l.; System" Lobby Charges.

Washington, July 1.-Investigation
of lobbyists and lobbies by the SEN
ate will reopen Wednesday with a
number of prominent Wall Street
men as witnesses.
Chairman Overman decided late
yesterday after a talk with President
Wilson and informal conferences with
his committee associates. to renew
activity at once instead of waiting un-
til July Sth as he had planned.
Investigation of the so-called ''un-
derground system" at the Capitol not
only by the Senate lobby committee
but by a select committee of the
House also promises to be the first
result of the sensational charges by
Martin M Mulhall, who claims to
have been the general field lobbyist"
for the National Association of Manu-
facturers.
Mulhall's allegation that representa-
tives, senators and high officials had
been reached" or influenced" that
the lobby conducted its operations
from room in the Capitol, paid
money to employees there, took an act
i've hand in making up committees
and. went out actively in the political
campaigns to defeat congressman who
opposed legislation the lobby wanted,
have thrown congressional circles into
an uproar.
Speaker Clark issued statement
confirming the charge that the lobby
had worked for his defeat. Many con-
gressmen mentioned. however. who
feel that they have been brought in
without any specific charges against
them declare they will not be satis-
fled with the Senate committees in
vestigation alone but will insist on a
select committee OF the House to sift
the charges.
