|V00L INTERESTS
| FIXED TARIFF BILL
Measure Was in Hands of
Manufacturers Before the
House Heard It.
LOBBY DEVELOPMENTS
MANY Prominent Statesmen Sum0n.
ed Yesterday.-Bitter Fight
Predicted.

Washington, July 9-Three days
before the House of Representatives
knew what the Dingley Tariff Bill of
1897 was to contain, the wool interests
at Boston had copy of the measure
and were debating amendments to it's
representatives
Three days before the bill was re-
ported to the House, William Whit
man. head of the National Association
Of Wool Manufacturers, the organiza-
ton whose members profited by the
revision upward of Schedule A, was
frantically telegraphing his "sugges-
tons" regarding absolutely neces-
sary" changes in the measure while it
was still in the committees hands.
This practical illustration or the
Tariff lobby at work was presented to
the Senate Lobby Investigating Com
mittee this afternoon with Mr.. Whit
man on the stand, through a series of
more than 200 letters and kilograms
which Mr.. Whitman sent to S. N. D..
North, secretary of the association,
during that critical period.
This same North in receipt of a
salary of $4,000 from the wool manu-
facturers, after the bill had passed the
House, served with salary as a clerk
to the finance committee, under Nell
son W. Aldrich, during the time that
the bill was in the committee stage in
the upper chamber. f
What part the wool interests took
in the framing of the Payne-Aldrich
Tariff Bill of 1907 or has attempted to
play in connection with the pending
tariff bill has not been developed in
detail yet When the committee ad-
journed tonight, Senator Reed still
had Mr.. Whitman under examination
regarding his legislative activities in
1897.
The wool lobby was attacked with a
rush today, the sugar advocates hav-
ing been disposed of earlier in the
session without any sensational re-
suit. All speed is now being crowded
on to clear the desk of the investiga-
ton of the Mulhall charges, which
will probably be reached in day or
two.
That fresh explosions are due when
this stage of the inquiry are reached
became more evident today when J. A.
Emery, counsel for the National Asso-
citation of Manufacturers, served no.
tlce on Chairman Overman, of the
senate Committee, that his clients, in
order to meet Mulhall on his own
grounds, will demand the calling as
witnesses of such lately distinguished
Republican representatives of the in
terests as former Speaker Cannon,
Nelson w. Aldrich, Joseph B. Forak-
er Judge John Dalzel, Nathan B.
scott and q host of other, prominent
statesmen and business men, includ-
ing all those whose names are men
.loned in the Mulhall correspondence

The National Association will also
appear with counsel and there will be
war to the bitter end with undoubted-
ly much light upon the recent chap
tiers in national legislative history.
A. S. Smith of Tennille. Ga, presi-
dent of the state branch of the Farm
ers' Union, was questioned about a
meeting Of committee of the Nation
al Farmers Union at New Orleans last
spring, at which a scheme to increase
the consumption of cotton was to be
discussed. He testified that his ex-
penses were paid by r. D. Bowen,
president of the Texas branch. of the
union President Barrett of the Ma.
tional organization, was not present.
H. H. Mobley, of Prairie Grove
Ark, president of the State Farmers
Union, said he was at the New Orleans
meeting called by Bowen. He signed
a telegram to the Arkansas senators
at Bowen's dictation, asking for a
hearing for Arkansas cotton interests.
"I'm slow to make accusations" said
Mr. Mobley, 'but l have come to know
that all our meetings, state and ma
tional, we were surrounded by men
who wanted us to do something for
their interests"
Mr.. Whitman of Boston, former
president of the National Association of
Wool Manufacturers, and President
William Mills of Lawrence, Kan, were
! the next witnesses.
Whitman testified that the AIRING
ton mills, with an output of 100000
pounds of cotton yarn and 100000
pounds of wool a week, had not been
running at capacity, on account of
poor market conditions, first noticed in
1909. Conditions were worse now, he
said, than he had ever known. From
1894 to 1907 the mills had run practi-
cally on. full time. He did not know
Just how the National Wool Associa-
ton raised it's funds.
| Senator. Overman said: 1--WE will not
| issue a subpoena in advance, but we
will summon as the investigation pro-
ceeds any witness who they can as
| sure us will be able to give any ma
terial evidence"
Interesting as were the disclosures
made by Mr.. Whitman, still more IL
Illuminating facts are expected tomor-
row, when he hands over to the COM
mittee his private letter books, con-
tanning copies of letters which he has
| written to congressman and others in
public life, during the past fifteen
years touching upon tariff legislation.
Mr.. Whitman has been subpoenaed
to bring along these letters, but he
reported inability to find them. Sub
sequent questioning revealedsthe fact
that he did bring his letter book and
he was then instructed to produces
them.
Under examination by Senator Reed
Mr.. Whitman denied that he had been
furnished with an advance copy of the
bill by the Republican ways ane
means committee and insisted that he
must be referring to draft which
committee of his association were pre-
pairing as suggestion to the men who
had the bill in preparation. He per
sisted in this explanation despite tht
fact that Senators Reed and Walsf
pointed to references in the letters tt
the proposed law and his facility II
mentioning the page number, clause
etc. in his messages which could onl!

During the session of the Grand
Lodge the reports of August Hermann,
of Cincinnati, on the Elks' National
Home at Bedford Springs, Va, was
read and after considerable discus.
sion, adopted. Mr.. Hermann's report
favored continuation OF the home,
but there was decided sentiment in
favor of it's abandonment and the
building of another. 1t was recon-
mended that the committee on the Ma
tional Home be empowered to decide
whether the old Home should remain
or should be given up.
The massed band parade, scheduled
for this morning, was abandoned this
morning because of trouble with the
local union musicians. The latter de-
cided not to march with the visiting
bands in retaliation for being thrown
out of work, nearly, all visiting lodges
bringing their own bands.

his son-in-law down and dragged him
out to an automobile by the scruff of
