Washington, June 5.-The senate
lobby Investigating committee decided
tonight to extend the inquiry into n
sweeping investigation of all organized
efforts to influence legislation of any
kind before congress or under consid-
Grafton recently. Several senators this
afternoon added their testimony Of
commercial interests working vigor-

issues.
The committee has decided to sub

committees effort to center on first
sugar, then wool and afterwards to
study activities of the prohibition

A legacy that viii be handed down

nItSSioners who assume office next
NJ onday at noon will be the condition
of the paving on DeV1lliers street, be-
tween Chase and Garden, the respon-
sibility for which the aldermen have
tried in vain to place. The matter
came up at special meeting of the
council last night in a communication
from City Engineer i. E. Thornton and
was disposed of by a motion made by
Alderman Bear that the engineers re-
port and all other data bearing on the
subject be referred to the three COM
missioners. No discussion of the mat
ter followed the reading of the en-
gineer's report and the motion by AL
derman Bear was unanimously adopt
ed.
The question which the council has
endeaVored for several months to set

company is responsible for the sinks in
the pavement. City Engineer Thorn

the paving company is responsible for
the defects in the pavement. His re-

Senator Hoke Smith, of Georgia, and
Senator j. Hamilton Lewis, of Illinois,
today called at the White House and
endorsed the appointment of N. J. Lii
lard. of Pensacola, for public printer.
Senator FLETCHER has kept the appoint
ment of Lillard continually before the
president, and hopes to win out when
selection is made. probably within
the next ten days. The contest for this
position has now been going on for
some time, and President Wilson has
found it very hard to choose between
the several candidates, who are all
good men and thoroughly capable of
holding the position. When the WASH
lnSton newspaper men made their
twice week visit to the White House
in body today, someone asked Pres
ident Wilson why the appointment of
a public printer had been held up 50
long, TO which Mr.. Wilson replied:
Because the president has been un-
able to choose between the several
good men who are candidates" How
ever, it is expected he will reach a
decision in few days.

MUST PAY
FOR HIS HOME PHONE

AS an economy measure, involv-
ing the expense Of $3.50 a month
to the city, the city commissioners
have Topped off the payment for the
telephone in the home Of H. G..
EngIe, city marshal. Heretofore the
marshal has had his home phone
paid for by the city, inasmuch as
the phone was used largely for the
transaction Of public business.
Should Marshal Engle elect. to dis
continue the phone service a call
for police aid might some time be
slow in reaching the chief. How the
measure happened to pass was wide
ly discussed today. The reason for
1t, is the commissioners idea, is
that the marshal is paid a salary
adequate to enable him to pay for
the phone in his own home and
have 1t used for what official BUSH
ness demands telephone service. The
two phones cut off the list by the
commissioners were those OF the
marshal and street commissioners.

LEG RAISED AN INCH,
MAY BE GOOD SIGN

John Schwendener, paralyzed from
q rifle bullet that penetrated the
spinal cord, has not improved much.
Yesterday while lying in bed, one
leg twitched involuntarily and rails
ed from the bed about an inch. This
might be taken as good sign, DR..
Steelsmith, who is attending, says,
although the boys chances Of re-
covery from paralysis remain slight.
Response to pricking is little more
noticeable now.
The operation, doctors say. was
an intensely acute one. 1t was two
hours from the time when the first
incision was made until the opera
ton was completed. The bullet was
not removed.

ARTHUR HURD TOLD OF
LICENSED BUTCHERS BILL

At the state butchers convention
in Salina yesterday, Arthur Hurd,
of the law firm of Hurd & Hurd of
Abilene, attorneys for the Kansas
Retail Butchers association, spoke
on 1.-THE Proposed Bill to License
Butchers" At the conclusion Of the
address there was a general dis
cussion of the topic and the general
lines of thought were approved.
Mr.. Hurd said there were many
arguments in favor Of licensing the
butchers and urged that the propos-
ed bill would tend to create a high
er plane and standard of quality
and workmanship in the meat shop.
with these things" Mr.. Hurd said,
"you are no doubt all familiar. The
bill would eliminate the winter
butcher with a capital of a sledge
hammer, a butcher knife and a sick
COW from entering into competition
with business men who have thous-
ards of dollars invested in a legiti-
mate business. While the bill Is
not aimed directly against the win
ter butcher, it is expected to be Of
great value to the butchers as an
inspiration to keep better shops.
"It would end the selling of dis
eased meats and butchers would be
brought to understand the pure food
laws better. To keep the quality
up ana raise the standard of the
meat business is the primary pur-
pose of-the bill but there would be
other phases of the meat business
which would be benefited by the
passage of the bill. The passage Of
such a bill would mean general
uplift to the meat profession"

DR.MAKINSATN NOME
ABILENE MAN NEAR ALASKA'S
STORM DISASTER.
Son Of Ed. Maltins Is ships Surgeon
on Victoria, that Made for
Open Sea and Safety
During Storm.

DR.. Harry Makins, son OF Ed
Makins of this city is, SO far as hii
people here know, on the steam
ship Victoria, lying in the open sew
en- miles out from the stricken city
OF Nome, Alaska. The Victoria, with
two other ships, made for the open
sea and safety when the storm came
that swept half of Nome away and
caused so much destruction OF prop
erty and suffering to the inhabit-
ants. The Makins here have re-
ceived no word from DR., Harry Ma
kins, save a letter that came Sun
day saying that he was to sail as
ships surgeon for the Victoria on
a trip to the north and would be
gone a month.
DR.. Harry Makins has been In the
Tacoma state hospital at Tacoma
and sailed from there north. He is
a graduate of a Portland college
and went to Washington state to
take the state examination. While
there he was offered place in the
Tacoma state hospital and accepted.
The ship surgeon of the Victoria
wished leave of absence for awhile
and arranged with DR.. Makins to
take his place on the months trip.
In a telegram to his people here,
recently, DR.. Makins told of this and
later a letter came saying that he
was sailing according to the agree
ment. Telegraph communication
from Nome was necessarily in poor
straits following the terrific storm
that beat up from the sea, but the
dispatches assure the safety of the
Victoria.
DR.. John Mustard formerly of this
city and DR.. o. F. Scarf of Solo
mon are physicians at Nome but have
not sent any news of their condi-
ton.
