Washington, June 5.-The senate's
lobby investigator has disclosed the
activity Of powerful lobbying interests
of new character was the opin
ion expressed by Chairman oyermau
Of the committee today.
I'VE have developed thoroughly the
fact that there is powerful and con
certed lobbying" he said, 1T is not
the personal appeal to senators, bur
the newer form of organized activity
to mould public sentiment and to in
fluence senators by means of public
pressure from various sources. 1t is
insidious to the extent that this pub
licity and organized campaign often
partake of Misrepresentation and
miSinformation."
Senator Overnan's statement was
an individual one, but he added that
he had some decided views on the
question" as to what he would recon-
mend for the committees report to
the senate. To the list of outside

Christian, an employe of the Louisia-
ma Sugar Growers offices in Wash

ington.
Although half the senate has testi-
fed to the absence of a numerous
and insidious lobby with designs
upon the tariff bill, the senate inyes-
tigating committee today resumed the
hunt, determined that the sergeant
alarms would issue more subpoenas.
Senator Goff said his property in
terests might be affected by the
change in tariff No one had ap-
preached him on tariff and he knew
of no lobby in Washington
Senator Gore had no interests af-
fected.
Senator Sherman said his interest in
the tariff was limited to farm pro.
ducts and only because he made farm
loans He had no professional con
nection with any one objected
"The only improper influences ey-
er brought to bear on me were by
representatives of labor unions" Mr..
Sherman said They threatened to|

He knew Of no organized lobby

Senator Shields said he raised live
stock, sheep, grain, and Angora goats,
all affected by the tariff. No impro.

used to affect his action on the tar
iff bill.
