Washington, d. C.-Reversing its
former action in voting to place wheat
-four, oatmeal and fresh meats on the
dutiable list, the senate finance sub
committee in charge of the agricul-
tural schedule voted to place livestock,
wheat and oats on the free list.
This action, it was authoritatively
declared, was taken to meet the views
of President Wilson, Senator Sim

who disapproved the decision an
nounced previously to tax meats 10 per

in the Underwood bill and to assess a
compensatory duty on both flour and
oatmeal.
The vote to reconsider was taken in
the subcommittee on a motion made

WILSON CRITICIZED
Prominent Senators Resent Idea
That Lobby Influences.
Michigan Senator Says Presidents
Arrangement of Lobbyists Has
Changed Many Votes.

Washington, d. Can unexpected
turn was given to the lobby" inves-
tigation when Senator Townsend, of
Michigan, Republican, declared on the
stand that the influence welded by
President Wilson and the Democratic
secret caucus on the making of the
tariff bill constituted the nearest ap-
proach to undue influence on members
of congress" that the investigating
committee would be able to find.
Senator Townsend criticized the
committee for not having asked mem
bers of the senate whether the Presi-
dent had sought to influence them and
declared that, even though the Presi-
dent had not intended it, his recent
denunciation of "lobbies" working in
support of changes in the tariff would
force certain senators to vote against
amendments they knew to be just.
"Who are those senators?" demand
ed Senator Reed.
81 don't care to name anyone" re-
turned Townsend.
The two Democratic members of the
committee present, Senators Reed and
Walsh, Indignantly resented any init
nation that President Wilson had
used patronage or threats to force
anyone to support free sugar or free
wool or to support tobacco as whole.
Senator Weeks, of Massachusetts,
also Republican, following Senator
Townsend on the stand, expressed the
opinion that executives had more in
fluence on bills than all the persons
who have come to Washington put to-
gether."
"The statement that the President
put out in regard to an insiduous lobby
Influenced the public mind" said Sen.
ator Weeks, land that has its effect
upon the senators. The public be-
lieves the lobbyist is bad man anc
no senator likes to oppose measure
if the President says the lobbyists are
seeking to change it," Senator Shive
ly, Democratic member of the
finance committee, said he knew of NJ
lobbying influences at work on the tar
iff bill.

of investigation that are likely to have
an important influence upon the whole

will persist in going blindly to the trial
