HOUSE LOBBY BODY FINDS CON-
DUCT lMPROPER-MOVE MADE
TO GUST HIM.
MANUFACTURERS ARE HIT
Methods of the National Organization
In Influencing Laws Held by Com
mittee at Washington Disreputa-
BILE and Dishonest.

Washington, Dec. 10.-After the
presentation Of the lobby investigating
committees report to the house, Rep
resentative Macdonald of Michigan, a
Progressive of the committee, intro.
duced W. resolutions, demanding that
the house determine whether or hot
the finding Of the committee war
rants action to expel McDermott from
the house, and whether the lobby &C
tivities of the National Association of
Manufacturers were such hat the
house may proceed against its Off
Gals for contempt,
President Wilson's charge that lob
bies existed at the capital to influence
Legislation were sustained in the re-
port OF the house lobby investigation
committee, presented to the house. The
charges preferred by Martin M. Null
hall against Representative Bartholdt
Of Missouri, Calder of New York,
Sherley of Kentucky, Webb Of North
Carolina and Fairchild Of New York
were, however, declared unfounded.
The report also finds that while the
American Federation Of Labor main
tains a lobby here, it does not permit
it's activities to transgress the law or
go beyond the bounds of proper privi-
lege. The report does find that Null
hall and James A. Emery. working for
the National Association of Manufac-
turers. went beyond the limits Of de-
cency In trying to influence legisla-
iton."
The National Council for Industrial
Defense and the national tariff COM
mission also are found to have main
tanned Hobbies to influence legislation
| Other points brought out in the re-
port are
That the main purpose Of the Ma
tional Association of Manufacturers
was to prevent legislation curbing the
uses of the injunction against labor
unions.
! That the tariff commission in 1900
was not improperly Influenced by lob
| bies.
That no improper influences have
been exerted in nominating or elect
ing congressman as far as the COM
mittee can ascertain.
That Representative James D. Nc
Dermott Of Illinois has been guilty
Of acts of grave impropriety unbecom.
ing the dignity Of the distinguished
position he occupies"
That Mulhall and Emery should
change their way or remain away
from the capital forever"
Representative McDermott's rela-
tions with the. pa%wnbrokers and liquor
dealers of Washington are gone over
by the committee at length. The com
mittee states that a loan of $500 given

Walk is Subject of Merriment.


Observation-Disclosures chief or
police has lost faith in bloodhounds
which are kept for the purpose OF
tracing evil doors. Several Alexandra
people were discussing h merits OF
the bloodhounds, and it was decided
to give the dogs a tryout. Money
enough to engage the hounds was sub
scribed, and Chief of Police TubbicliF
agreed to walk across country to Full
ton, and the hounds were to trail him.
A telephone message to Mitchell, to
the owner of the hounds. resulted in
he agreement being made. The lay
of the trial arrived, and the chief
started on his hike" to Fulton. Then
he owner of the hounds was notified
and he replied that his dogs were out
of condition and could not come. An
automobile was then started after the
chief but he had taken an Irregular
route and could not be found until he
walked all the way to Fulton. He was
more than slightly angered when he
learned of the fluke.

Eel Paso, Tex.-Americans, Germans
and Spanish, who arrived from h
huahua, report that Francisco villa,
the rebel leader, virtually had con-
stituted himself dictator there and
that he refused to heed the requests
Of the representatives OF foreign gov
ernments. They asserted that the
rebel leader had seized $5,0O0,OOO
worth of property belonging to for
~eigners, had put OF death about twenty
Mexican civilians, including Sergeic
Sanchez, a lawyer and former state
official, and had commanded the Amer
lean, German and British consul to
obey rebel orders.
The happenings in Chihuahua since
villa occupied the city on it's evacua,
ton by the federal troops is given by
the refugees here, who number LOCO.
Villa seized a large department
store, valued at $~1.500,000 and owned
by French. German. English and Span.
ish interests, but chiefly Spanish, and
placed in command of the store Gen.
Chao, a rebel leader. He also seized
a brewery, a clothing factory, all the
grocery and other stores owned by
Spaniards, valued at $3,500,00 He
called a meeting of merchants of all
nationalities and told them they must
pay him large sums of money, aggre-
eating several millions of dollars, to
support the revolution. He gave or
ders that the sc called constitution
alist money should be accepted as cur
rency. Villa'S expulsion of citizens of
Spain, all of whom were progressive
merchants, was On pain Of death. He
at first Informed them that they must
be out of the country within five days,
but later, after an appeal by Harry
Scobell, the British vice consul, he
extended the time to ten days. None
of the Spaniards were allowed to take
away anything except his personal eff
fects, and they were told to re,
turn.
The capture and Imprisonment of
Luis Terrazas, jr. son Of a rich land
owner, was after Terrazas had sought
refuge in the British vice consulate
and after the rebels had informed Mr..
Scobell they would break down the
British vice consulate unless Terrazas
was released. Marion Letcher, the
United States consul, was asked by
the foreigners to protect them. Mr..
Letcher attempted to send a cipher
message to the state department, but
was informed by Villa that no cipher
message would be permitted on the
rebel telegraph. Villa then informed
the foreign consuls In a body that
they would have to obey rebel orders.
