Resentment of Charge That
He is a Lobbyist May Re-
suit in His Testifying.
CALL FOR THE PROOF
Senator Cummins Indicates That He
will Put ii Up to Mr..
Wilson.

Washington, June There is re-
sentiment in the White House over
the charge made by Senator Town
send at the Senate Lobby hearing that
tive lobbyist. There is doubt how
ever. that the President will take Of
fetal notice of the criticism of his
methods and appear before the in
vestigatng committee.
Senator Reed, acting chairman, de-
clared that he would not call he
President to the stand. 'aIie will be
welcome if he desires to appear, but
| see no reasons why he should deny
charges, naming some senator who
has been influenced the President
will not be called" he said.
He holds hat the charge having
been made by the Republicans may
have assumed the burden of proof.
Senator Reed made his statement up
on his return from the White House,
where ne nau conference Will oeC-
rotary Tumulty.
Senator Cummins, who with Senator
Nelson, represents the minority has
made no definite plans. He declares
that in as much as the Democrats
started this inquiry upon the direc.
charge by the President that lobby
existed, it is their duty to pursue i.
to the end.
But" said the Iowa Senator l in
tend to insist before he hearings are
over that President Wilson furnish the
committee with the facts or informa-
ton upon which he based his state
ments as to the 'insiduous lobbying
in Washington"
This is taken to mean that it is
probable the President will be asked
to appear before he committee in
person instead of transmitting his
statement in writing. II this be the
case, his friends declare, he is primei
with sufficient material to establish
his charges as facts.
The committee was in recess today
preparing for the. resumption of the
hearing Monday when the last of the
Senators will be called 20 testify.

ARRIVES IN NEW YORK
Says Mader0s Misrepresent Facts
When They Say Wilson Was Cause
of the Assassination.

New York, June Mrs. Alice
Wilson, wife of Henry Lane Wilson,
United States ambassador to Mexico,
arrived today on the Monterey of the
weeks with her three SONS.
Her husband, she said, was on the
verge of a breakdown just before the
revolution and it was only his nerve
that enabled him 20 perform his du-
ties during the bombardment and the
reign of terror in Mexico City.
Mr.. Wilson has SO far received no
information from Secretary Wilson as
to whether he will be reappointed or
how much longer he is required to
stay in Mexico, she said. The pres
emf government Of Mexico is still
awaiting recognition by the United
States.
When Mrs. Wilson was told that
the Madero family here practically
accused the ambassador as being the
cause of Presidents Madero's death.
she replied:
Ridiculous. My husband and
felt keenly for Madame Madero and
| visited, her to see what | could do
for her before her husbands death.
She is regarded in Mexico as a very
ambitious woman and her power is
felt there at the present time
1T is suspected that she is supply
ing The funds for the continuance of
the revolution of Carranza. She has
no intention of remaining an exile"

'TRY0N CHURCH DEDICATED
Was First Baptist Church Organized
In Braxos County = Church
Moved from Former Loca-
ton to kurten.

The new Tryon church at Kurten
was dedicated Sunday by Rev. l.. NJ.
Cole. SO great was the attendance
from the northeast portion of the
county that the building and even the
churchyard were filled with the
throng.
The Tryon church was the first
Baptist Church organized in Brazos
County, and was organized more than
fifty years ago. The Clouds, thinner
mans, Stewards, Jones, Novels, Scales,
the Lloyds, and others were among
the early settlers of that section and
their families participated in the or
ganization of the church.
Rev. J. NJ. Zimerman, who departed
this life at Kurten a few years ago,
was the last of the charter members
of the old Tryon church.
During the history of the church,
the voices of some Of the most noted
pioneer Baptist preachers in Texas
were heard within its sacred walls,
among whom might be mentioned DR..
William Cary Crane, DR.. R. E. B. Bay.
lor, founder of Baylor University; DR..
z. T. Morrell, the pathfinder of Texas
Baptists; Rev. w. d. Creath, the
great pioneer Texas missionary; DR..
Rufus c. Burleson, president of Bay
Tor University at Waco, and many
other noted divines of that early day.
The original Tryon church was To-
Gated three miles northeast of Kurten,
where the church organization has re-
NAMED until now, on account of the
inaccessibility of the location and the
shifting of the center of population
to the little town of Kurten, it has
ben moved there where a modern,
well-built structure of neat appear
ance has recently been erected and
was dedicated Sunday. The program
lasted all day, and dinner was eaten
on the grounds. That section of the
county is famous for its number of
good singers, and the song service
was led by ]. c. Cloud. Rev. r. w.
Lindsey conducted the devotional ex-
ercises, and Rev. Cole preached again
at night.
A large number of visitors from
Bryan attended the services, and the
company of the good people of that
section was greatly enjoyed

no doubt proves a great companion
during the lonesome hours of his jour
ney. He has also won several short
contests, making a record Of fifty
nine miles in nine hours.
For this trip, II successful, he will
get the neat sum of $4,000 offered by
la Russian prince who is owner of

will not allow him to beg, borrow,
nor even ask for a match or glass OF
water.
Mr.. Lambert is extremely pleasant
and agreeable to strangers and doesn't
mind handing out dope" on his trip.
