LOBBY COMMITTEE
CONSIDERS REPORT
Differing of Views as to
Conservative Language
Used in Draft

Washington, December 6.-The House
committee ON investigation of charges of
lobbying was in session until late to-
night considering the report which Chair
man Garrett will present next Tuesday.
There was every indication that some
members of the committee. differing in
views as to the conservative language in
which Mr.. Garrett couched his draft of
the report. would present a minority re-
port.
This particularly affects that part of
the conclusions relating to Representative
McDermott of Illinois, whom M. M. Mul.
hall. accused of being in the pay of tbs
National Association of Manufacturers foI
legislative purposes, and that part relat.
ing to Mulhall, whose allegations brought
out the inquiry, and 1. II. McMichael
former chief page of the House. now nc
longer in government employ The mem.
bers who have been threatening dissent
favor more severe language as to certain
of these matters and the adoption of rec.
concentrations for the action of the House
This is the chief point of difference in
the committee.

JAPANESE TANGLE
IS STILL UNSETTLED
Some New Move Necessary by One
Power for Adjustment of
Controversy

Washington, December ct was in
ferred in official circles here today
that the channels of diplomatic cor
respondence between Japan and the
United States over the California alien
land law have been exhausted without
results and that any action looking to
an adjustment of the tangle must come
from a new move by one power or the
other.
The correspondence was exhaustive
and the last note presented by Japan
many weeks ago remains unanswered
at the state department. for the rea-
son, 1t Is said, that despite the numer-
Gus exchanges the controversy re-
mained exactly where it was at the
start. 1t is understood that Japan
throughout maintained that its treaty
rights were invaded by the law. while
the United States argued as persistent
ly to the contrary.

Clayton of the House judiciary commit
tee Monday.

PROBE NEW JERSEY
NEEDLE MYSTERY
Six Young Women Reported
Victims of Poison Injected
Into Arms-A South
American Arrested

Newark, n. j.. December 6.-Federal as
we'll as state authorities are likely total1e
a hand in the investigation of the poison
needle mystery, growing out of the ex-
perience of Mrs. Marjorie Graft in a
moving picture theatre two days ago. So
far the only arrest is that of the young
South American, Armand Megaro. who is
held in $4,000 bail on as assault charge
made by Mrs. Graft after a man seated
near her in box jabbed a needle into
her arm, and she was seized with drowsi-
ness. The case of five other young women
reported to have been the victims of ex-
periences similar to those of Mrs Graft,
are being investigated by the police OF
the federal authorities here has been
brought to the Graft case in connection
with their inquiry into several white
slave cases.
Government May Act
Charles f. Lynch, assistant federal dis
trict attorney, said today that the gov
ernment authorities would act if it was
shown that a needle gang" was operat-
ing between this state and New York.
Sociological workers here and in New
York have laid emphasis on the Graft
case In their public warnings regarding
methods of white slavers in procuring
girls. They pointed out that hypodermic
needles may be bought for 80 cents each
and that drugs can be purchased with lit
tie difficulty.
The police here are withholding the
names of all the reported victims except
Miss Jeanette Clark 10 years old who
said today she had been attacked in the
way Mrs Graft was, and in the same
theatre, on Thanksgiving night.
Reports that Miss Mary Lee a young
stenographer, had been similarly made a
victim were denied by her today. 1t had
been understood that she and Miss Clark
were to be taken before Mrs CRAFTS al
legged assailant to see if they could iden-
tify him. Miss Clark stated tonight that
she did not believe she could recognize
the man who attacked her If she saw him
again.
No Poison Shown
The needle found near Mrs. CRAFTS seat
in the theatre had not been dipped in
poison so far as microscopic scrutiny
showed today. A chemical examination is
to be made, however, In the effort to de-
termine the nature of the poison used.
The needle Jay on the floor many hours
before it was found
A test of the South American drug
which is the suspected poison In the Graft
case is to be made. An animal will be
inoculated with a needle dipped in the
poison SO that the effects may be
watched.
Miss Clark later was taken to police
headquarters to confront Megaro She
said she could not identify him as hc.-
assailant The police thus far haye
produced no evidence against the Sou n
American except Mrs. CRAFTS statement
that he was seated near her in the
theatre box
1t was learned tonight that other
cases are being investigated in Orange.

The floods in both rivers tonight were
beginning to pass out into the gulf
through the last 100 miles of their courses.

few important towns, but additional
drownings in remote settlements are
feared. A number of towns which had

is BURNING OF RATS
CRUELTY TO ANIMALS?
Question Will Be Debated in Cleveland
Court This Week-German Arrested
for Cremating Pests

Cleveland, o., December 6.--Is II
cruelty to animals to burn rats 10
death? This question Will be debated
in the local courts next week when
Stephen Carman will be personally
tried on a charge of cruelty to animals
preferred by II. x. Ferry, officer of
the Humane society.
Ferry caused Carman's arrest after
he cremated five rats he had caught
in cage last night Carmans coun-
sci will contend that it is 10 more
cruel to burn a rat than it is to give
it poison, the action of which, he claims,
is slow and painful.
