.LOVETT CHARGES
ROUSE SENATORS
Inquiry to Seek Facts About
Men Who Are Charged With
SWindIe Attempts.

The Senate lobby investigating COM
nittee is determined to get the answer
to these questions:
Are big financial interests, or men
prominent in the financial world. being
preyed upon by certain smooth indi-
.viduals who seek to make them believe
Washington with unusual skill?
II SO. are these individuals using
the names of and impersonating mem
bers of Congress-?
The lobby rrobing committee will not
be able to call witnesses to answer
these questions raised by the testimony
of Judge Robert S. Lovett, head of the
Union Pacific. in his testimony last
evening until after the Senate Demo
cratic caucus has completed its work
on the tariff bill.
This phase of the lobby inquiry prom
ises to become not less interesting and
sensational than the inquiry into the
Hobbies working to influence legislation
and shape public opinion with respect
to legislative matters.
The possibility that efforts have
been made and traps carefully set to
dupe, not only financiers. but also am.
to obtain appointments from the Gov
ernment Is suggested as one Of the
ramifications of this business. This
phase of the lobby situation was not
suggested 9y Judge Lovett. but by re-
cent developments in which a person
seeking q diplomatic post enlisted the
services of a well-known individual
in Washington.
Accuses Eauterbach.
Judge Loyett testified that long and
determined effort had been made to
have Edward Lauterbach. New York
lawyer. retained by his company ito
grease the wheels in Washington and
hold down agitation in Congress against
the Union Pacife dissolution plan.
No corruption or corrupt methods
were alleged. but Judge Lovett declared
that a person, representing himself as
Congressman Riordan of New York
had urged over the telephone that
Lauterbach be retained. and suggested
that employment of Gauterbach might
avert trouble in Congress. Judge Lovet;
further testified a like conversation had
occurred between a man who repre-
scented himself as Riordan and Max
well Evarts, counsel for the Southern
Pacific.

ROAD IMPROVEMENT
WILL REQUIRE SKILL
Former Senator Bourne Would Estab.
lish School Similar to Military
and Naval Academies

The Importance of skilled supervision
in highway Improvement and main
tenance is emphasized by Hon. Jona-
than Bourne, jr.. chairman of the Joint
Committee on Federal Aid in the Con-
struction of Post Roads.
In a statement given to the press yes
terday. Mr.. Bourne said:
Under primitive conditions, where
road expenditures must be light. and the
extent of the improvement very limited,
no special supervision or road work is
practicable or necessary. but when this
stage of community growth has been
passed and permanent improvements are
undertaken. it is Of utmost Importance
that properly qualified men be engaged
to see that permanent work shall not
prove to be permanent blunder.
Establishment of a National Academy
of Highway and Bridge Engineering is
one feature of my plan for Federal aid
to good roads. As in the case OF the
Military and Naval academies, 1 would
have students apportioned among the
several States and admitted after COM
petitive examination, each student to be
paid enough to cover his necessary trav-
cling and living expenses"

erseIf strong enough to annex the Philip

herself strong enough to annex the Philip
pines"
Referring to the Japanese leaders in
the war with Russia. Nogi, Oyama, and
Togo, Mr.. Blount says:
"A race that can produce such men
does not come into court with clean
hands in getting trUculent about the
alleged race discrimination OF the Cali
fornia alien land law in order TO hide
their own land hunger. They need
the Philippines. and can take them any
time they went to. and they are just as
keenly aware of both these very large
facts as We ourselves are"
Mr.. Blount maintains that under pres
sure of their imperative need for more
land, the Japanese are making all prep
aratiOns for further expansion.
They make a noise every now and
then" says he, about the California
people not liking them. This is to keep
the embers of their possible preteXt alive.
They carefully nursed similar embers
against Russia and finally lighted them.
When ready. they did not declare war.
They simply opened fire on Port Arthur.
So in our case, they will not declare
war. We will simply wake up some
morning and read that they have cut
the Pacific cable or landed at APART
from the Southern end of Formosa, and
started down the Cagayan Valley en-

Hebrew Congregation
MAY Change LOCATION
Board Of Trustees Is Considering Offer
Made by Mystic Shriners for
Eighth Street Property.
NEW SYNAGOGUE DESIRED

The board Of trustees Of the Wash
Ington Hebrew Congregation met yester-
day morning to discuss an offer made by
the Almas Temple, Mystic Shrine, to
purchase the Eighth Street Temple Ac-
ton was deferred, and the congregation
again will hold a meeting.
News of the contemplated sale of the
temple does not come as a complete sur
prise for the reason that the congrega-
ton has recently grown to such an ex-
tent that the present edifice contains in
sufficient space. II also has been known
that the present location OF the temple
is in disfavor, and that another section
of the city, preferably Mount Pleasant,
was being sought for new synagogue.
Officers Of both organizations refused
to make any statement last night in
reference to the purchase price. A high
official of the Shriners ventured the re-
mark that II the price was reasonable
the deal would be consummated.
The Eighth Street Temple is consid-
cred by the Shriners as an ideal place
for holding their drills. Heretofore they
have used the National Rifles Armory.
and this has not proved satisfactory. 4
prominent official OF the order stated
last night that il would require a small
sum TO make necessary alterations on
the building.
The Eighth Street Temple was complet-
ed in 1898. President Mckinley and his
entire Cabinet were present at the dedi-
cation ceremonies. At the time of the
completion Of the building the Congrega-
ton contained 10 members. 1t has now
grown to 400 members. The structure
itself cost $4,000. the ground. Sc. 600. and
the organ. which is considered the third
best in the United States, cost $4,000.
In 1906 the building was partially de-
strOyed by fire. In rebuilding the tenn
pie several improvements were made
which increased the seating capacity to

Province and the Valley of the Pam
panga.'
All this can be avoided. Mr. Blount
holds. IL the United States will remove
the Philippines from the reach OF Japan
by firsi giving them independence. and
then protecting ii | ) treaties with all the
great powers. pledging them to join with
the United States in keeping the Philip
pines neutral. A short cut. he argues
would be to ask Japan to sign such a
treaty for the naturalization of the
Philippines.

LICENSE PROCURED
REGULARLY, SAYS cox
Declares Statement Miss Potter Did
Not Intend to Marry Him
Is Untrue.

Denial of the charges made against him
that he had procured a license to marry
Miss Agnes Helen Potter. of 2554 Wiscon-
sin Avenue without his fiance having
any knowledge of the event, was made
by Benjamin Raymond Cox, of 614 G
Street Northwest. last night
Il procured the license at Rockville in
the regular manner and without trickery.
as alleged said Cox. THE statement
that Miss Potter denies any intention to
marry me is not in accordance with the
facts, as both she and had a full urder-
standing
At the Potter home it was stated yes
terday that the girl never had any inten-
ton to wed Cox, who. her family say,
is her first cousin. The girl could no;
be seen yesterday, but according to her
relatives she denies intending to wed
Cox.
Il am not at all afraid of the threats
alleged to have been made by her uncle
Albert Potter, because l believe him a
man of better Judgment continued Cox
He added that the sole objection by the
girls relatives was the fact that they
thought that he and Miss Potter were
first cousins. This he also denies, and
says that they are second cousins. In
conclusion, Cox stated that Miss Potter
was in her twentieth year, and had.
therefore. passed the age of consent, so
that Mr.. Potter is exceeding his lawful
rights in attempting to interfere in the
future happiness of his niece
Cox is still hopeful and is determined
to try again. After some explanation.
he believes Mr.. Potter will relent and
the ceremony will be performed.
