Panama Canal.

LONDON. September 20.-A proposal
to make the Azores archipelago an in

House Investigating Commit

of Data Before 1t.

The House lobby investigating COM
mittee began today to formulate a re-
port containing the ideas of the men,
bers of the committee as to whether or
not there is an insidious lobby in Wash
ington, working to influence legislation
by slick and sinister methods. The last
of the witnesses, in all probability. has
been heard, and the committee has be-
fore it an enormous mass of testimony
which contains many finely drawn dis
tinctions.
Former Representative ittlefield of
Maine and former Representative John
J. Gardiner were the last witnesses to
be heard. Mr.. Littlefield produced affi-
dayits from bankers in his district to
prove false the charge that the National
Association of Manufacturers had spent
SEQ, 600 to elect him in his district. Money
spent there. he said, amounted to a little
more than $4,000, and it was used for
the support of the entire state and coun-
ty ticket as well as for his own support.
Representative Gardiner denied about

or did not do while he was chairman of
the labor committee of the House sew
eral years ago.
