President Makes Suqoestion.

n.
 Before the Investigating committee net Senators Overman and Reed went to the White House and had a long conference with President Wilson Both declined to talk of their visit but the president told inquirers he had made suggestions to the senators which would be developed in the in. quiry. He declined to say what they were. The senators did not ask Presi. dent Wilson to appear, and it was gen. orally regarded at the capitol and the White House that the president would not do so.
 It was said at the White House that the president had placed his informa- tion on the lobby in the hands of Sen ators Overman and Reed and the i'm pression prevailed that later the president might furnish list of names of those whom he believes to be lobbying against the tariff bill.
 When the hearing opened some newspaper photographers ordered the committee members around in a busi- ness-like way while a picture was taken. Senators Bacon and Ashurst moved aside
 ~ don't care to get into such a pie ture," said Senator Bacon.
 Senator Ashurst first was called He testified he was not interested direct ly or indirectly, financially in the pro- duction, manufacture or sale of any article mentioned in the tariff bill or any other bill pending before con- gress, nor had he sought to influence any other member
 The committee then made the first effort to obtain a list of so-called lob byists.
 Nothing Improper Said.
 Senator Ashurst said he had not kept record of those who had talked with him, but he was prepared to give names of all he could remember. The first was William Kettner of Cali fornia," who had asked him to find out whether there would be any fur ther reduction in the tariff on lemons and fruits. The senator asked Chair man Simmons of the finance commit tee and the latter said he thought the Underwood rates would stand
 But told him" said Senator Ash urst, that l wanted it distinctly un- derstood that in asking the question I was not urging that the tariff be not reduced"
 A Mir. Mcclure, representing West cIn sheepmen, and Mir. Tomlinson, representing cattlemen. Senator Ash urst said called upon him and by le- gitimate argument sought to show

American citizen has right to do- talk to their senator about their busi- ness affairs" said he. No one, he de- clared, has tried improperly to influ ence his action.
 "Smoothest He Ever Saw"
 Senator Ashurst said he did believe. however, that man named McMur- lay had been attempting to influence improperly the action of senators with respect to preventing the can cellation of certain contracts he (Mc- Murray) held with Cherokee Indians for the sale of land, whereby he would receive $3,500,000.
 He is the smoothest lobbyist have ever seen, added the senator. He could carry a bundle of eels up- stairs without dropping single one"
 J. F. McMurray, an attorney at Me Alester, Ok, prominently identified with Indian legislation, has a contract |lth the Cherokee Indians for the sale of $35,000,0O worth of land. for which he is to receive 10 per cent There is a movement in congress to annul his contracts.
 Senator Ashurst said he considered any man or woman a lobbyist" who "button-holed senators or other mem- bers of congress and urged them to vote for certain measures or suffer reprisals in the elections"
 dn mt ocpuiJo, ,,,o, Iol,l.x ist who files legitimate argument with congress about matters in which he is interested" the senator said.
 Senator Bacon, who followed Sem ator Ashurst, said that "out of abun- Gance of caution" he wanted to tell the committee that he owned a small farm in Georgia on which some arti- cies might be raised that were af fected by the tariff A sewer pipe factory, street railway, a gas com pany and an electric company were other industries in which the senator said he had some interest.
 T don't believe any of them are afraid" he said. II am sure I want no duty on sewer pipe"
 Senator Bacon said he had not tried to influence members of the senate, except in a general way to urge a re- duction of tariff on articles of general use.
 "I have not listened to single man or heard a single argument on this tariff bill, he said. 'I have received a great many letters and circulars
 "I have seen very much less effort to influence legislation in this bill than in previous ones. It does not compare with the consideration of the Payne-Aldrich bill, in that respect"

Curtis Testimony.

Andrews order was issued on Sep tember 15, 1910 Protest was made immediately by the affected interests. According to the testimony of James F. Curtis, assistant secretary of the treasury, before a committee investi- gating the treasury department, Wayne MacVeagh, former attorney general, and brother of Secretary Franklin MacVeagh, called at the de- partment and said
 'I have been asked to talk to you about a ruling which you have made on creosote oil, which seems to be wrong" Curtis testified that he as sumed that MacVeagh was protesting in behalf or the Pennsylvania rail- road of which he was formerly gen eral counsel
 Wayne MacVeaSh's protest was, however, unnecessary, for Curtis al- ready had revoked Andrews order. At this time Curtis, instead of Andrew, was acting secretary of the treasury. On December s, 1910, he directed the port collectors to disregard Andrews ruling and to return to the practice of admitting the higher grades of creo- sote oil free.
 Importer Protests.
 But while Andrews order was still in effect an importer protested against the collection of duty, and on that protest the now celebrated 'creo- sote case" started on its long journey through the customs courts.
 On this first case the government presented no testimony and the board of general appraisers was forced to sustain the protest and admit the i'm portation of "creOsote oil' duty free.
 Another similar case, involving the same importer was brought before the board in New York, and the dep uty attorney-general was notified by General Appraiser Sharretts that he must not fail to present evidence in support of the governments side Of the case. The evidence was presented and the board of ap- praisers (Sharrett, McClelland ard Chamberlain sitting) decided that the importation was not such ''as should be admitted to free entry"

INTERSTATE COMMERCE. COM
MISSION.

Washington, ID. c., November II,
1913.-Informal complaints to the
Commission indicate that the annual
recurring failure of transportation
facilities known as "car shortage" is
again appearing. The Commission
urges on all shippers and all carriers
that close attention to methods of
loading, unloading, moving and
promptly returning to use the cars
now available will go far toward
making the present supply of cars
sufficient for all purposes
In order that the business of the
country may go forward without in
terruption, the Commission urges
through their associations, to cooper
ate to secure the prompt and full
loading of cars and their prompt re-
lease. One of the chief causes of
failure of car supply in past seasons
has been the unnecessary detention
of cars by careless shippers and by
shippers using them for storage pur-
poses. In the general public interest
shippers should endeavor to release
cars at the earliest possible moment
without regard to the free time CIV
en- by the tariffs.
All Cne elloTIS VI Cue shippers Will
be unavailing, however, unless the
carriers also use extraordinary meas
ures to eliminate all delays charge
able to them.
The commission is moved to make
this appeal by its desire to save both
shippers and carriers from the
losses which are occasioned by fail
ures of our supply, and by its know
ledge that measures such as are here
suggested have operated in past sea-
sons to save all concerned from
heavy losses.

COMMENTS ON DIR. SWENTZEL'S
SERMON.

1 notice that the Brooklyn Eagle,
of Monday printed in full the sermon
delivered on the previous evening in
that city by Rev. DR.. Henry G.
Swentzel, rector of st. Luke's church,
Clinton avenue. In his talk upon
" The Power of Reverence" DR..
Swentzel said in part: Any pro-
gram for humanity which omits the
fear of God will prove to be sadly
deficient The public school may be
an adjunct, but it cannot be the
prime mover in the glorious advance
for which we dare to hope. In a
country without an official religion,
the non-religious character of the
public schools in inevitable. The
school work must be supplemented,
somehow, and sentiments of rever-
ence for the true God must be put
into the souls of the rising genera
ton, else the net result will be not
far removed from civilized paganism,
which will surely be less and less
civilized as the years go on. The
church, so far from submitting to
this possibility, must set out to re-
pair the grievous defect.
g 1t is intimated that higher acade-
mics and other institutions of learn
ing are open to a similar criticism.
Educational ideals and methods are
wickedly inadequate if they make no
effort to draw out the best that is in
human nature. No remissness can
equal the failure to inculcate rever-
ential disposition towards the AL
mighty. 1t is disaster if our col
leges for men and women are grad
uating heather. 1t is almost a trag-
edy if, when the students receive
their diplomas, they have less rever-
ence for holy things than they had
to start with. There can be no gem
uine culture which omits the majes-
ty and glory of the infinite, and no
man should presume to think him
self to be a gentleman who is not a
gentleman to his God" DR.. Swent-
eel was rector of st. Luke's church in
Scranton about twenty-one years
ago. Upon his acceptance of call
to the Brooklyn church he was sue
ceeded by Bishop Israel. When in
Scranton DR. Swentzel was noted as
forceful pulpit orator, and the SER
mon from which the above was clip
ped indicates that he has lost none
of his old time eloquence and logic.
In Stroller's Note Book, Tribune
Republican. DR.. Swentzel is we'll
known in Honesdale, having been a

Washington, Nov. 17.-Dr. Fred

rival here today that he would ask
Congress to investigate the conflict
ing claims of Rear Admiral Peary
and himself as to the discovery of
the north pole and to determine who
was the victor.
DR.. Cook intimated that he had
assurances that a resolution will be
introduced to authorize an inquiry.
He avowed himself as willing to have
the investigation conducted by the
Naval Affairs Committee of either
house.
Dr. Cook is practically a Wayne
County man, his home being just
across the river from the Wayne
county side in the New York State
village of Callicoon. The doctor lee
tured in Honesdale two years ago
and told his own story. The woods
are full" of people who believe that
he is as much entitled to credit for
discovering the North Pole as is Ad

to see the resolution for such an in
quiry favorably acted on by Con-
