ties law OF the District Of Columbia pro-
hibits the issuance of free transportation

LOBBY INQUIRY ASSURED
Democrats Will Support But
Modify the Cummins
Resolution.

Senator Cummins was ready to call up
in the Senate late today his resolution
for an inquiry into the tariff lobby in
Washington. which President Wilson has
designated as "insidious. That II would
be passed after some modification was
the opinion expressed by democra ic lead
ers.
While not opposed to the spirit of the
resolution leaders feared such an investi-
cation might divert attention from the
tariff bill and delay its passage. That
view prompted consideration of plan to
have the resolution referred to the finance
committee
Later. however. democratic leaders de-
termined that the resolution should pass
inasmuch as it's introduction was
prompted by utterances of President
Wilson. but agreed upon changing the
language and modifying somewhat the
provision requiring the President to fur
nish the investigators with the names
of the lobbyists to whom he referred in
his recent public statement, land other
information about thtm and their efforts
to bring about changes in legislation
now before the Senate"
