malice undoubtedly would increase the
basis for damages and the defense
would combat the attitude of the plain
tiff.
Attorney Pound rose and said:
First l wanted to sue for $4,000, but
Roosevelt insisted the amount should
be nominal. He did not want to be
vindictive, but wanted merely dam
ages for a falsehood."
1t was stated by Belden that pecun-
iary damages in this case under the
law might be in any sum from " cents
to 100000, regardless of the amount
asked in the suit Whether the al

argued, the defendant believed the ar

titude of the defense that the admis.
sion of so-called evidence bearing up
on the colonel's reputation as to

ages. Various libel suit decisions were
cited by Pound to show the present
case was not unprecedented, after
which the court adjourned until 2.

PLAN TO SHOW UP
LOBBY WORKINGS

Washington, D. c., May 2s.-Pursn-
ant to the resolutions introduced in
the senate by Senator A. B. Cummins
of Iowa and in the house by Represen-
tative Clyde H. Tavenner, there is
likely to be a searching investigation
of the insidious lobby that President
Wilson charges is working to defeat
the tariff measures in the senate.
Representative Tavenner's resolu.
ton is stringentNone. 1t provides
that the committee shall inquire par.
ticularly into the sources whence the
lobby is supplied with 'unds; the
amount of funds contri b'lted to it;
where and how these fl nds are ex
pended; for what ulti., a:e and imme
date purpose; and sh al inquire gen
orally as to the metI cIs by which
any lobby seeks to influence legisla
ton before congress.
Mr.. Tavenner expects to confer
with Representative Henry of Texas
chairman of the rules committee, to
morrow. The resolution was referred
to Mr.. Henry'S committee.
In speaking of his resolution, Repre-
sentative Tavenner said that If the
lobbyists are to be believed the peo
pie back home have changed theil
minds considerably since last fall. Fol
his part, he is of the opinion that they
/ are not to be believed and that tn,
great majority of members will ignor,
them, though they should be restrain
ed in the interests of those upon whom
they bring the greatest influence t
| bear.
Such an investigation, however
would disclose to the general publ
better than tariff reports, hearings, o
anything else, just what concerns ar
most interested in maintaining prohit
tive protection.
