CLEAR congress
Charges Involving Representa-
tives to Be Exposed by Sem
ate Investigating Committee.

WASHINGTON, June 27.-Subpoe-
mas will be issued at once by the SEN
ate lobby investigating committee for
Lewis Cass Ledyard and Paul D.
Cravath, New York attorneys, and
for David Lamar, a Wall Street man,
to appear next week in connection
with its investigation of the charge
that the names of congressman are
being used to secure influence with
financial men.
Mr.. Ledyard and Mr.. Cravath are
understood to have additional infor-
the committee. Both We're referred
to by Robert s. Lovett, chairman of
the board of the Union Pacific. as
having been recipients of mysterious
telephone calls that purported to
come from congressman.
The story told the lobby commit
tee last night by Representative A.
Mitchell Palmer, of Pennsylvania,
has astonished congressional circles.
and resulted in a demand from many
quarters that the Senate committee
use every effort to find the men re-
sponsible. MI. Palmer testified that
Lewis Cass Ledyard had been called
repeatedly by man who represented
himself as Mr.. Palmer. The attorney
took the precaution to learn that Mr..
Palmer was not in New York. how
ever and then kept the congressman
informed of developments until evil
dence had been secured strongly indi-
eating from whom the call came.
I'VE will go to the bottom of this
thing" said Chairman Overman, of
the Senate committee today. "Mr.
Ledyard, Mr.. Cravath and Mr.. Lamar
will be first asked TO appear. and 9th
ers may be called later"
The committee will resume its
hearings next week after the Senate
Democratic caucus has finished with
the tariff bill. Speaker Clark. Repre-
sentative Underwood of Alabama.
Representative Henry of Texas, and
others, whose names were used by
the persons in conversations with
financial men. are urging the commit

WASHINGTON. June q. = Al
amendments to the agricrltursL..
schedule of the new tariff proposed
by Democrats of the Senate finance
committee were approved today by
the caucus, including the countervail-
ing duty on wheat and -four.
The finance committee later may
recommend enlargement Of its pro-
posed amendment, directing the Pres
ident TO proclaim countervailing du-
ties on certain commodities when dis
elimination by other nations is dis
closed.
For suggested changes, the amend
ment to compel payment OF full reve-
nue. duty on brandies used in fortify-
ing sweet wines. was returned TO the
finance committee. Opposition TO the
proposal was aroused among Cali

Senate Democrats put the cloture
rule to long tariff speeches IN the
caucus. determined to complete con-
sideration of the Underwood Simmons
bill for report to the Senate next
week. Having spent hours yesterday
on one paragraph. which was not
completed when adjournment was
taken, II was evident that the caucus
would be prolonged unless discussion
were checked. Resolutions were
adopted to limit debate on each item
in dispute and deny any Senator the
right to speak more than once on
subject.
The recommendation of the finance
committee for countervailing duty
on wheat and flour was finally ap-
proved by the caucus. eight senators
voting against the amendment:
Fletcher. Lea Martin, O'Gorman,
Reed. Salisbury. Sheppard and Var
daman.
After the wheat and -four Tight had
been settled Senator Newiands sought
to amend the entire agricultural
schedule and moved that the finance
committee be instructed to reduce the
duty on all food products by a sliding
scale of 10 per cent. year extending
over a period of ten years until they
reached the free list.
After brief discussion the arnend-
ment was voted down

surprisingly easy one. the score be-
ing Ga, 60, 1-6, 6-l. Ingram was
a model of steadiness in placing,
while the Americans stroke lacked
their wonted power

phia, quickly followed his compatriot
into retirement, being beaten by the
English player. R. Watson, by three
sets to one. the score being Pc. Sc,

Water Co. Given
FreehoIders Aid


The Hudson County Board of Free
holders last night gave the Jersey
City Street and Water Board per-
mission to tunnel on the Hudson
county side of the Belleville turnpike
at Arlington The permit was grant
ed in the face of opposition on the
part of Kearny officials who were
present at the meeting and who are
opposed to the Jersey City people
supplying water to the new West
Hudson Park.
The Kearny solons asked that the
freeholders keep their hands off the
matter. More vigilant than ever will
be the Kearny officials now to pre-
vent any possible attempt to open the
old water gate at Kearny avenue and
Belleville turnpike. 1t was said that
the object of digging at the turnpike
now is simply to arrange for an
auxiliary main to cross the Kearny
meadows.
