Committee Named BY The
Upper House Starts An
Inquiry Into the Alleged
'Insidiousr Methods"
PRESIDENT WILL NOT
APPEAR IN PERSON
Has Turned Over Evidence
In His Possession to the
Heads Of the Investiga-
tors.

Washington, d. c., June o.. The
search for tariff lobby such as Pres
ident Wilson had declared was oper-
ating in Washington, began today
with the senate judiciary sub-com-
mittee holding open hearings
Every senator was prepared to nm
swer series Of eleven questions
which constituted "a grilling" to do-
termine whether he has any personal
interest in the tariff or other leglcla-
tion and to find out what persons
have approached him in the effort 10
influence his action on schedules OF
the tariff bill
It has BEEN "-''-'pte'l that hun

turing or othe n affected b.
the tariff have bsca ! Washington
the last few weeks, and many sena-
tors claim 1t would be impossible to
remember all the persons who have
called upon them to make appeal for
changes.
President Wilson's declaration that
an "insidious lobby" large and power
fui, was at work, led many to believe
that the committee might suggest Ia
President wilson that he could make
persOnal statement to committeo
members, either at the capitol or at
the white house. giving any informs
ton he has. The senate resolution
requests the president to give sucn
information as he may have to The
committee. AS
Senators Asrrst. Bacon, BANK
head and Borah were the first asked
to appear before the committee. a
schedule had been prepared limiting
the questioning of each senator to 15
minutes and providing for sessions of
the committee until 10 o'clock It
night
Before the investigating committee
met Senator's Overman and Reed went
to the white house and had long con-
ference with President Wilson. Both
declined to talk of their visit, but tho
president told inQuirers he had mada
suggestions to the senator's which
would be developed in the course OF
the inquiry. He declined to say what
they were. The senators did not ask
President Wilson to appear and It was
generally regarded at the capitol and
the white house that the president
would not.
1t was said at the white house that
| the president practically placed all his
information on the lobby In the hands
OF Senators Overman and Reed and
the impression prevailed that later the
president might furnish list OF names
| OF those whom he believes to be lobby

No person had attempted to In

Bacon said, and he knew nothing OF
attempts to use money for lobbying
purposes. II don't think q man who

Senator From Louisiana
Attacks the Democratic
Party Plans as Regards
the Tariff.
DENIES THAT PLEDGE
CALLS FOR REDUCTION
Declares That the Industry
is a Legitimate One and
That the Schedule Will
Ruin It.

Washington, D. c.. June 2.-Sena-
tor Ransdell of Louisiana in a pre-
pared speech today discharged verbal
broadsides at the so-called sugar
trust" declared the free sugar sched-
ule of the tariff bill violated the
pledge of the Baltimore platform not
to destroy legitimate industry" and
declared that in supporting free sugar
'the democratic party will be playing
into the hands OF the sugar trust and
other refiners."
Mr.. Ransdell made the statement
that the cane industry OF Louisiana
supported ''half million SOULS" that
the beet sugar industry employed 15O,-
600 people, with 100000 dependent
upon it, and that 100000 people In
Hawaii depended on sugal! The re-
f.ners. he declared, employed about
10000 men.
Directly attacking the so-called
sugar trust, Senator Ransdell re-
viewed the customs frauds and the
governments antitrust suits against
the American Sugar Refining Co.. and
declared former Attorney General
Wickersham had referred to some or
the refiners as criminals Of unpara-
ielled depravity.' The campaign for
free sugar, he charged, was conducted
by the refiners ito distract attention
from themselves" No reductions In
prices to the consumer would follow
free sugar, Senator Ransdell declared,
but charged that after competition
had been eliminated the price would
be raised.
Senator Ransdell contended that the
trainers Of the Baltimore platform did
not contemplate free sugar and de-
clared that the words "that will not In
1ure or destroy any legitimate In
dustry" were wri into the plat
form with especial reference to
sugar"
The senator's argument was very
long one, intended to show that free
sugar would violate the pledges of the
democratic party, destroy the home in
dustry, deprive the government OF
some $52,OO0,O0O and bring no reduc-
ton Of cost to the consumer.
