will do as much good spent in this
way as it would if it were spent in
any other way.-John Ruskin.

show yesterday by her riding In the
class for saddle ponies under 1873
hands. The heels of her tiny riding
boots came down just even with the
saddle flaps as she sat astride OF her
pretty bay pony Joy, yet she handled
her mount like a "chip of the old
block" posting perfectly to the trot.
making him break into a canter and
lead with the right foot foremost, and
whipping him into submission when
he wanted to go the wrong way on
the miniature track. The little tot
received an ovation when the judges
gave her the blue ribbon.

CHARGE AGAINST
WILSON NO ISSUE
Senators Unlikely to Take Up
Townsend Attack Unless
He Gives Names.

WASHINGTON, June 7.-Senators
on the lobby investigating committee
were of the opinion today that Sena-
tor Townsend's sensational charge
that the President himself virtually
had been lobbying for the tariff bill,
would not be taken up by the COM
mittee as an issue unless some spe-
cific charges were made. Senator
Townsend, testifying last night. while
declaring that White House infiu-
ence" had been exerted on certain
senators, declined to give any names.
Unless those are presented the COM
mittee is not likely to follow up that
phase. The committee was in recess
today preparing for its next week $
work.
A dramatic turn was given to the
Overman committees quest for undue
influence on the part of outsiders in
shaping matters of legislation in
Washington when Senator Townsend,
of Michigan, yesterday afternoon tes-
titled before the committee that, in
his opinion, the President was a
lobbyist of the first water.
The Presidents name was dragged
into the discussion through the read
ing of Townsend's definition of lob
byist.
I'm a broad sense" said Townsend,
"a lobbyist is person whose bust
ness 1t is to promote or prevent leg
islation on some particular subject.
This applies continued the Senator,
ito any man who attempts to in
fiuence legislation, whether he be in
side the Legislature or outside"
Senator Walsh asked the witness
whether he meant to infer that any
member of the Legislature had ex-
erted undue influence with regard to
any legislation now before the Con-
gress.
Yes" responded Townsend, be
cause of the action of the Presi-
dent and the Democratic party some
Senators will vote against tariff
amendments that they would favor
otherwise"
Townsend's statement drew a chal-
lenge from Senator Reed, acting
chairman of the investigating COM
mittee.
do you mean to state that you
regard President Wilson as a lobby
ist." he asked.
in the sense in which my defini-
ton applies to him he is" replied
Townsend
On DISCRIMINATION, Senator
Townsend admitted that he had no
proof to back up his statement. His
opinion, he said, was founded on
newspaper reports which credited
President Wilson with wishing to put
through the Underwood bill. Further
more, he said he regarded the Presi-
dents statement regarding an lin
sidious lobby" in Washington as a
form of coercion, inasmuch as 1t laid
Democratic Senators who wished to
oppose the measure open to suspicion
of having been reached by the lobby
mentioned.
Senator Townsend's testimony was
followed by a statement to the press
in which he reiterated his belief that
the interrogation of Democratic
Senators would bring out the truth of
his statement.
Senator Weeks, of Massachusetts,
also Republican, was next put upon
the stand and in substance bore out
ToWnSend's charge
