Lobby Investigation
Halted by DeKnight
Rr As.neiated Prcss

Washington, March 19.-Members
of the Senate lobby committee to-day
found themselves confronted with the
task of solving a legal problem af-
fecting their authority. The commit
tees investigation into the alleged
lobbying activities of Clarence w.
DeKnight, Washington attorney,
was halted yesterday when DeKnight,
on the advice OF counsel refused to
produce certain books and papers as
serting that the committee had no
jurisdiction over matters not now
pending before Congress.
The attitude of the lawyer was laid
before the commmittee by Chairman
Overman. Testimony showing that
DeKnight received $1,000 from ship
building company in payment for un-
successful efforts to defeat legisla-
ton against the use of the Panama
Canal by railroad-owned ships, was
reviewed and II was said that addi-
tional evidence concerning Deknights
relations with this company was con-
sidered highly important. If the COM
mittee should decide it cannot compel
production of the desired papers, the
Senate may be asked to give the nee
essary authority.
