DEMOCRATS ASKED
TO RAISE $4,000
National Committee Appeals for
Funds to Keep Washington
Headquarters Open.
Especial to The Times Dispatch. I

lSpeCEll 10 nc llne9- n.
Washington, June "a letter has
been sent by Congressman Palmer from
the headquarters OF the National Dem
ocratic Committee in this city to ma
tional committeeman throughout tho
United States asking that they busy
themselves Immediately and help raise
a fund Of $4,000 year to keep the
Washington headquarters going.
1t is stated in this letter that each
State will be assessed upon the ratio
of S125 for each elector. and in this
way 1t Ia hoped that the full amount
of $4,000 Will be secuerd, without
making the burden too heavy on any
one State.
One or two committeeman who were
in Washington to-day, and who had
received these letters. were somewhat
doubtful whether 1t would be advisable
to ask the Democrats for more contri-
buttons at this time. in view OF the
very heavy drains made upon some OF
them during the last presidential cam
paiGn. In some parts of the country
collections for the Wilson Marshall
were exceedingly heavy. es-
pecially In some OF the Southern States.
and for this reason doubt is expressed
as to Just what this appeal will amount
tc In dollars and cents ut this time.

GAYNOR IS AFTER

Suggests to Board of Aldermen
Legislation Against Selfish
Practice.

New York, June 3.-Mayor Gaynor
and Alderman Stapleton are both after
the end seat hog, n peculiar product OF
the summer months, who blocks en-
trance and exit on all cars having
cross seats. The Mayor sent a recon-
mendation to the Board of Aldermen
to-day suggesting legislation along
this line, and Alderman Stapleton dug
up and reintroduced an ordinance deal
ing with the question. which was pre-
sented and killed away back in 1904.
Mayor Gaynor wrote the Alderman, as
follows:
The habit of all selfish people and
especially IL they be big and fat. is to
take the ond place on the seats of the
summer cars which run crosswise OF
the car, and stick there instead of
moving along to the other end az
other people get on the car. This
causes great inconvenience.
"All those who come after these
selfish people have to climb over their
legs. and press by them as best they
can. 1 would suggest to you to con-
slider whether you should not pass an
ordinance making this selfish prac7
tice misdemeanor. and requiring those
who enter cars with cross seats to
move as far In as there Is a vacant
space to sit down.

OF making the canal safe. The en-

Washington. June 3.-"Social lobby
ing" in Washington justifies every
word President Wilson uttered in re-
gard to the presence of an 'insidious"
lobby at the capital. Senator Kenyon,
of Iowa. declared on the witness stand
to-day before the Senate investigating
committee. 1t was the first unequivo-
cal answer in support of the Presl-
dents attitude since the inquiry began.
The Iowa Senator explained that he
believed the most "insidious and pow
erful lobbying possible was the prac-
tice of fiattering Senators by having
them out to dinners, to theatres and
on automobile rides. ingratiating the
host with the distinguished guests"
Pointing to the sworn testimony of
Edward Hines. "a lumber king" be-
fore the Lorimer election investigation
that he entertained Senators at n local
motel at dinners at time when the
lumber schedule in the Payne-Aldrich
bill was before the Senate. Senator
Kenyon declared it was his belief that
Senators were being entertained in this
'insidious" way at present.
He also denounced eX-Senators far
capitalizing their privilege of the floor
by using it to lobby. Referring to
one ex-senator. representing many
railroads in Washington, and often
seen on the floor of the Senate, he ad-
vocated the enactment of legislation
TO prohibit an ex-senator from being
a lobbyist.
