COMMITTEE FINDS PROOF 0F LOBBY
Old Files of Manufacturers As- sooiation Grabbed by House
 Committee.

Washington, D. C., Aug. G. The House lobby committee started the work of examining the letter files of the manufac- turers association and also the old vouchers and they find that the association has had an ac- tive lobby working against meas ures that would injure the manu- lecturers as whole.
 The legislative activities cover a wide range from aiding ill the defeat of congressman and sen ators who opposed the associa- tlon, to the entertaining of men powerful in the party councils and active in determining the policies of both parties.
 The association knew no party but it's own gain, democrat and republican were the same to the officials who asked but for re- suits ad were willing to pay.
 The investigation will be con- tinued.

PRESIDENT GIVES
 ALASKAN PARDON
A. Sievers, Fort Seward Soldier, is Granted Executive
 Ciemency.

Juneau, July 25.--Andrew Siev- CTS walked from the United States jail yesterday a free man. He was pardOned by President Will son. Sievers is the first prisUn- CT in Alaska to receive an execu- tive pardon under the Wilson ad- ministration. The pardon reach ed here yesterday and Sievers was given his liberty immediate ly. It was secured at the request of United States Marshal II. l.. Faulkner, Judge Thomas R. Ly- Ons and United States Attorney John Rustgard.
 Sievers' case is one of the few on record where the qualifications of law worked hardship. He was arrested on July 4, 1912, at Haines by the United States mar shal, when caught selling a case of beer to a half dozen Indians gathered in a cabin to celebrate Independence Day. The prisoner was a private in the 16th infant ny, U. s. A., stationed al Fort Seward. He submitted to arrest without protest and said he wanted to plead guilty immedi :. ately and commence paying the penalty for his crime.
 As the crime was felonic:ls Sievers had to So through the fe,flnality of the commissioner s C. nrt bind over, then the indict- mont by the grand jury, with the added wait of six months in jail before the district court wen; in- to session.
 When brought before Judge Ovcriield December 2i, iat:, slewrs pleaded guilty and was sentenced to a year. Deducting prison credits for department his sentence would have expired Oc- tober 2f, 1913. He proved a mod el prisoner in every respect and seyefa months ago the officials started working for a pardon in his case.
 Under the pardon Sievers is restored to his full citizenship rights.
