Effort VIII Be Made to Find
Out How Much Money
Was Used.
BE BROAD IN SCOPE
Endeavor VIII Be Made to Ascertain
If Money Was Used to Elect or
Defeat House Members.
UNITED PRESS LEASED wIRu.I

Washington, July 5.-The rules COM
mittee of the house today reported a
resolution on the proposition to inves-
tigate lobbies. The action was brought
about by Mulhall s charges of cOrrup-
ton against members.
The rules committees resolution is
so framed that all lobbies will be in
vestigated. The committee is author
lied to ssit during the recess of con-
gress to probe every activity which is
reachable, and which has influenced
congress. One section of the resolu-
tion says:
"The committee shall also inquire
and report as to whether money has
been used and improper influence ex-
erted by the manufacturers to accom-
plish the defeat for nomination or cleo
tion of any candidate for the house,
and whether any members of congress
have been employed by the manufactur-
ers for an improper purpose. The com
mittee shall also inquire whether the
manufacturers association or any agen-
cy, corporation, association or persons
now maintains or has heretofore main,
tanned a lobby for the purpose Of in
fluencing legislation; and to report to
what extent, in what manner, if at all
legislation has been improperly influ
enced, affected or prevented by reason
of the existence Of such lobby"
Leader Mann Willing.
The house debated the resolution al
hour. The fact that Minority Leader
Mann did not object to its consideration
indicates that it will pass substantially
as reported.
In presenting the resolution Chair
man Henry, of the rules committee
said: "The committee believes that thi
resolution should be as broad as thu
English language can make it. "

third money, driving a consistent race.
The Studebaker held third place up to
the 23d lap, when tire trouble forced it
out, and allowed the Hudson to forge
ahead. Seybold, driving a Buick, came
in fourth.
The first hard luck was met by Mich
OILS, driving an Apperson, who went in.
to the ditch on the back stretch, and
was forced to the pit with five laps
lost. Neither Nichols nor his mechan-
lean was injured The car was finally
withdrawn from the race after getting
another start, this time the cause being
a leaking gas tank. Barnes, driving the
Romano, was forced to quit in the fifth
lap because Of engine trouble.

the equivalent thereof in money, Mrs.
A. E. Pender, of Vancouver and former

an appearance and later Mrs. Pender
moved to Vancouver and on January l
filed a complaint with the railroad com
mission telling of her loss. The com
mission took the matter up and after
much trouble discovered that the ma
chine was gone all right. They there

MAN HUNTING TROUBLE
FINDS IT ALL RIGHT.
Oscar Griffith Starts Something With
Williamson and Is Licked and
Draws $40 Fine.

Another case of man hunting trou-
BILE and getting it to his sorrow was
manifested near the corner of State and
High last night when Oscar Griffith
"started something" with Linn Will
hanson, the proprietor of the billiard
parlOrs in the basement of the Hubbard
building, and Judge Elgin this morning
fined the trouble-hunter $40.
The fight in which williamson came
off best man was general between about
ten other young men, according to the
police who made the arrest of the main
participants. Four witnesses appeared
in the police court this morning and tes-
titled in behalf Of Williamson. Their
testimony was to the effect that Will
hanson, while standing in the doorway
leading to his billiard hall, was struck
in the face by Griffith. Then, declared
the witnesses, the assaulted one "torc
in" to Griffith and gave him a good
licking. Williamson was mindjug his
own business and not interfering with
Griffith in the least, when the latter de-
| lliberately hit the former in the mouth.
Those who witnessed the fray declare
that although Griffith is at least fifty
pounds heavier than Williamson, the
smaller man had everything his own
way and gave the larger man good,
sound whipping in short order Others
took hand in the fight, declare the po-
lice and by the time the guardians of
the peace arrived general mix-up was
taking place. One man, it is said, be.
came an innocent party to the quarrel
and he promptly laid three men out, or
at least, put sufficient finishing touches
on, that the fight-inclined persons were
very willing to make themselves absent,
