HOKE Smith
DEFINES LOBBY
SAYS INVESTIGATION WILL PROVE
EXISTENCE OF INSlDIoUS
INFLUENCES.
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, June 5.-Although more
than half the senate has testified to
the absence of an "insidious lobby"
against the tariff bill, the investigat-
ing committee today resumed its hunt.
The quota of senators grilled today
added to the disavowals of lobby exist
ence. Although Chairman Overman
wouldn't admit that the committee Is
receiving aid from President Wilson,
the opinion prevailed at the Capitol
that the names of some of the men
summoned as witnesses have been
suggested at the White House.
Close associates of the President are
sure interesting evidence will be pro-
duced by these. Senator Hoke Smith

tive body sat as court and any attempt

"at the end of this investigation that
there have been organized forces here
for sugar and wool, which maintained
their offices long after they had pre-
sented their arguments"
The senate's lobby investigation has
already disclosed activity Of powerful
lobbying interests of new character"
according to a statement of Chairman
Overman, after this forenoon's session.
Operations Of the lobby consist not so
much in personal appeal to senators
as in organized activity to mould pub
lie opinion, declared the senator. Pub
lie pressure continually has been
brought to bear on senators in this
way. Several new witnesses have
been added to those to be questioned
next week. Among these are Paul ].
Christian, an employee in Washington
of the Louisiana sugar growers office.

THE TRACTION CO.'S
new HOME
STARTED
HANDSOME EDiFicE TO BE ERECT.
ED ON SITE OF COMMERCIAL
HOTEL BUILDING.

The removal of an old land mark
was begun this morning when the tear
ing down of the wooden frame portion
of the old Commercial Hotel building
was begun by the Hattiesburg Trac-
tion company, who have contracted for
the erection Of two-stroy brick struc-
ture of modern design and handsome
finish, in its stead.
1t is the announced intention of the
Traction Company to erect a combined
office building, storage warehouse, dis
play rooms and demonstration and au.
dience hall, with the purpose of using
the entire structure for their own
needs. The display rooms on the
ground floor will be fitted with plate
glass fronts, and a full line of supplies
used in connection with their business
will be kept therein.
On the upper floor the heads of
departments will be supplied with
handsomely fitted offices and the audi
ence hall in which demonstration
work will be done, will be on the same
floor. This hall will be supplied with
seats and will be for public meetings.
The contract provides for a rapid
completion of the work, and it is ex-
pected that by August first the offices
will be ready for occupancy.

Senator Vardaman added his recon-
mendation to that of the congressman,
and about the same time Senator VIII
liams came upon the postmaster gen.
eral and entered a vigorous and un-
compromising protest against the ap-
pointment.
This situation placed the postmaster
general in an embarrassing position.
He did not want to offend Senator Will
liams, a good administration man, yet
he wanted to accommodate the local
particularly so when
backed by one of his senators, that
resulted in the request that Bonney's
name be withdrawn.
Mr.. Quinn and Senator Vardaman
are standing pat, however, and Sena-
tor Williams is threatening to air the
whole matter on the floor of the SEN
ate if the nomination is sent in. He
declares that Bonney printed an article
in his paper once charging Private
John Allen with petty crime That
fact, in the opinion of Senator VIII
liams, units Bonney to be a federal
office-holder. Quinn and Vardaman
reply that Bonney did not print the
article, and when suit for libel was
brought produced the court records to
bear out his story.
Up to this time Senators Williams
and Vardaman have maintained an
armed truce. They have APPARENTLY
worked together in harmony for the
interests of the party in the senate.
Now, however, state issues have come
up and the truce seems at an end.

the divorce is dead. 1t is alleged also

fact that majority of the boys leave
school before they finish the high
school-and they do this because OF
the desire, and sometimes necessity ia
go to work. Cincinnati Is one of the
cities of the country which has realized
the Importance of the problem and is
trying out the part-time system of
education and labor. The plan is sim
two sets of pupils which alternate in
school and at work. One set goes to
other crowd goes to work in the fac
tories; they change about on the fol-
lowing Monday, the class which orig
inally went to school, dropping their
books for the nonee and taking them
selves to work. Thus there are two
sets Of children on the same job in
the. factory and in the same grade in
school and each set has the satisfac-
tion of being allowed to work and at
the same time obtain an education.
There are educators who believe that
after weeks session of school, the
little laborers will welcome the return
to the work bench for a few days and
that their vigor While at work will
show more Willingness to labor than
if they were employed in the factory

When the American Bar association
opens its annual convention IN Mon
treal, Quebec, OH September /, the re
markahle event of the lawyers of q
great nation holding an official con !
clave upon foreign soil will take
place for the first time in the history
Of the world Another event equally
remarkable will be the presence of the
lord high chancellor of England, the
Right Honorable Richard Burton Hat
dane, who will be the guest OF honor
at this American convention held upon
British territory. The visit Of an
English lord chancellor to a foreign
country is a most infreauent occur
renee, and is regarded as important
as is visit of royalty. The fact
that Lord Halaane comes to this eonn-
try in acceptance of the invitation
extended to him by the American Bar
association Will go upon record as the
greatest courtesy ever paid to the
lawyers of one nation by the chief
jurist of another. His stay in Amer
lea will be short, extending over only
five days.

lord chancellor has had upon the To-
cation of the convention in Quebec no
one can say excepting the president of

say that he discussed the matter with
Lord Haldane during his visit to Lon
don last winter. While the matter of
