WASHINGTON, %. c., June
Senator Penrose today told the spe-
cial Senate committee hunting for a
lobby that in his ffteen years ex-
perience in Washington he never
had known of any attempts to i'm
properly influence members of Con-
gress. HE gave the names of IT'S
persons wha had called on him
since January / on the tariff but he
declared that none was a lobbyist in
the genral acceptance of the term.
at isiwell known that certain in
terests have agents here" said the
senator, land suppose they are
paid salaries. They evidently get
information for their organizations.
Their work is perfectly legitimate.
My own opinion is that the lobbyist
is principally thing of the past.
The congressman pay little attention
to them now.''
Lively Witness.
Senator Penrose was the 1Heliest
witness OF the morning session.
Other senator's testified that they
knew of no undue influence and
told of their personal interests.
The list OF It's names that Mr..
Penrose gave the committee was
made up of manufacturers. labor
leaders, attorneys, importers and
others who fear they would be af-
fected by tariff changes. Ehe ,stell
industry and coal interests OF Penn
sylvania have had no permanent rep
in Washington for many
years, Senator Penrose said. Their
custom of keeping representatives in
Washington had "dted out ten or
twelve years ago"

WASHINGTON, June 3.-The sec
ond day of the Senate probe for the
lobby began with approximately one
fifth of the total number of senators
disposed of. At this rate of progress
it will take four days more to finish
the investigation The Senate has al
lowe ten.
Working with morning, afternoon
and night sessions and under the con-
sent of the Senate itself to absent
themselves from regular sessions in
order to hear witnesses, members of
the sub committee taking the testi-
mony were confident today they would
finish this week.
Senator Brady, of Idaho, one of the
new members, had not finished his
testimony when the investigators
stopped last night and he was ready
to proceed today.
The first days inquiry had not def
initely located the lobby nor developed
the names of any lobbyists using inn
proper emthods in the opinion of SEN
ators to influence their actions on the
tariff.
Senator Mclean. however, was
called as the first witness. He testi-
fed that he was small stockholdeT
in several corporations, but he had
never sought to influence senator's be-
cause of his interests. He gave list
of various callers who discussed the
tariff with him but he considered none
of them lobbyists.

FOURTH IN AUGUSTA DAY OF Enjoyment.
ATTRACTIONS INCLUDE HORSE RACING.
BASEBALL AND VARIOUS OTHER SPORTS
NORTH AUGUSTA CELEBRATES.


North Augusta people went to bed,
Friday night happy in the belief that
the day for them had been one of un
usual enjoyment and that the Glori-
Gus Fourth had been fittingly observ-
ed. The celebration, preparations for
which had been in progress for many
weeks, had been planned to be one
of the good old fashioned kind, and
had been carried out according to the
plans, and successfully, and was not
productive of a single feature that
could in any way be a source of re-
greet.
The celebration was held at the
crossroads near the Grange hall, and
all day long that locality was crowd
ed with people, young and old, not
only from that section of the city
itself, but also many from the nearby
town of Sidney. and from other places.
1t was a success throughout, and was
held under circumstances that could
hardly have been better.
The program, which began in the
morning and continued into the eve
ming, had for one of its opening fea-
lures a baseball game between the
North Augusta team and one from the
River Road North Augusta was the
winner with score of 10 to Z, the
honors being done by the battery,
composed of Lyon and Stratton. The
glory which comes to the winners Of
ball game, however, was of short
duration. for in the afternoon the Sid
ney team came down and swept the
turf with North Augusta n tho time
of 30 to 8. The battery for Sidney was
Ellis and Clark, and for North Au-
gusta Lyon and Bean.
Dinner was served at noon in the
dining room of the Grange hall, and
the afternoon was devoted to sports,
and to the enjoyment of dancing. The
winners of the various contests were
as follows: Sack race, Phil Carey:
bicycle race, Roy Tillson: threeleg-
ged race, Phil Carey and Roy Tillson
potato race, Clyde Reynolds. There
was also another feature. that of the
creased pole, to the top of which was
affixed a dollar bill. Several of the
boys tried to climb the pole, but found
ly Roy Tillson secured the bill by
climbing on the shoulders of two 9TH
er boys.
Supper was served in the Grange
hall, after which dancing was resum-
ed, large number participating. Zee
cream. lemonade and fruit of various
kinds We're on sale during the day and
evening, and added in no small de-
gree to the enjoyment of the occa-
sion.

amusement for all who cared to en-
joy them, and that number proved to
run well up into the thousands.
The sports of the day were not
limited to any particular section of
the city, for while the people in the
central section found plenty to take
up their attention at the Driving

there was something doing all day,

and so far as Augusta was concerned
there was hardly a cloud in the sky
The temperature for the day ran high
in some places going to Sc in the
shade, but there was a breeze from
the west which continued throughout
the day and which carried with it a
feeling of comfort that was duly APP
preciated
The number of people who took ad-
vantage of the holiday to make a
trip into the country or elsewhere
was large. The early morning cars
not only on the main line of the
street railway, but the line running
to the lakes at the west of the CITY

seekers. whose lunch baskets and
boxes told wordless story of the
happy day that was in store for
those who carried them And 1t was
~ or'v the morning cars that were
filled, for travel was heavy through
out the day.
While many people sought the lakes,
others turned their faces toward the
seashore, and the steamer Islander,

crowd of the season. And then there
were the automobile parties, dozens
of them, speeding in every direction
