teachers. The attendance in the nor
NAL departments for the biennium
1909-1910, he said was 3,13S, while

TARIFF LOBBYIST
Townsend Of Michigan Makes
Charge in Inquiry.
lNslNyAT!oN IS RESENTED
Senator Asks Why Members Were
Not Questioned on Influence Used
by Presidert-Admits II May
Be Accidental.

Washington. June 9.-Senator Town.
seid of Michigan threw the lobby com
mittee into an uproar Friday when he
virtually charged that the methods
and influence used by President Wilson
and the Democrats in forcing con-
gressmen into line on the tariff bill
constituted the nearest approach to
undue influence upon members OF con-
gress" that could be found by the In
Quisitors.
Senator Townsend criticized the
committee for not having asked men,
bers of the senate whether the presi-
dent had sought to influence them, and
declared even though the president had
not intended it, his recent denunciation
of Hobbies" working in support Of
changes in the tariff, would force GER
tain senators to vote against amend
ments they knew to be just.

ed Senator Reed.
81 don't care TO name anyone" re-
piled Townsend
The two Democratic members Of the
committee present, Senators Reed and
Walsh, Indignantly resented any inti-
nation President Wilson had used
patronage or threats to force anyone
to support free sugar or free wool. or
to support the bill as whole. Sena-
tor Townsend insisted the committee
had not asked any senator thus far
whether President Wilson had tried to
influence him.

Walsh. that in view of the serious
statements made touching the execu-
tive that any senator who has already
testified may be recalled and interro-
gated in reference thereto"
Il am for that" said Senator Mel
son. and members Of the committee
agreed.

activities into the investigation some
what intensified feeling within the
committee. and it Is expected it will
make more searching the investiga-
tons still to be carried on.
Senator Weeks OF Massachusetts,
also a Republican, following Senator
Townsend on the witness stand ex-
pressed the opinion that executives
had had more influence In bills than
all the persons put together who have
come to Washington.
THE statement the president put
out in regard to an insidious lobby in
fluenced the public mind said Sena-
tor Weeks, land that has its effect up
on the senators. The public believes a
lobbyist is a bad man. and no senator
likes to opposes measure IL the presi-
dent says lobbyists are seeking to
change it"
The senate agreed to extend the
time limit for the lobby investigation
30 days, or until June IS. Members of
the committee doubt whether it can be
completed within that time.
Senator Townsends statement in re-
lation to President Wilson were not in
the form of charges. He EXPRESSLY
said he did not charge the president
with using improper methods, but he
insisted the charges that Hobbies ex-
listed and the activity of the president
in supporter free wool and free sugar
amounted to an undue influence"
even though he did not use the big
stick" of patronage.
