De Knight Subpoenaed to Tell
Senators of His Alleged Ac-
tivity Against Repeal.

The allegation that n lobby is gather

will be sfted by the Senate Lobby Com
mittee this week. Clarence w. De
Knight. Washington lawyer. has been
subpocnaed by the Senate Lobby Com
mittee. and probably will appear tomor-

supporting the repeal Of free tolls, has
charged him with heading lobby OPP
posed to repeal.
On both sides of the controversy
over canal tolls, charges of lobbying
are being heard. The friends Of repeal
are alleging that the transcontinental
railroads and big shipping interests are
fighting against repeal. and the oppon-
ents of repeal allege these same inter-
ests are fighting against free tolls.

of course. there are a number of

Both monuments are at present in
fair state of preservation. though
that near the Henry house Is leaning
somewhat due to unequal settlement.
and the one on the Dogan farm has
been denuded of the projectiles that
were placed on 1t when built, and is
also now surrounded by timber and
underground, which has grown up
since its construction. and prevents a
good view OF 1t being obtained except
at close range.
"As a result of its Investigations,
the board lie OF the opinion that steps

for the repair and preservation of
these monuments, and that to this end
1t Is desirable and advisable that the
lands on which they stand should be
purchased.
THE monument on the Henry farm
is located in such close proximity to
the house that il the land on which
it stands isto be acquired II will be
necessary to purchase the entire farm.
and this is believed to be warranted
since, in addition to the monument,

manufactured abroad and exparted to
this country, where they are assem-

cars include In their makeup foreign
manufactured parts and this Is likely

have demonstrated their ability TO pro-
duce motors and engines as delicately
constructed and a ssound a sthose
turned out by the master workmen OF
Europe.
Broadly speaking. the auton obile
duel between Europe and America Is
based on the difference between hand
work and machine work. In Europe,
men who are the descendants of gener-
atlons OF craftsmen labor toilfully over
the delicate bits and pieces that go
to make UP q completed automobile,
working with the hands rather than
with some ingenious machine that
does all but think, and that leaves
nothing for the operator except TO
push little lever. In this country
the machine rules the workshops. The
average automobile engineer would
scorn to waste a mans time on hand
work, when machine could be de-
veloped that would do the work OF
scores or hundreds of men In 81 single
day. 1t Is the story of the American
watch and the SWISS watch over again.
The question of relative efficiency. in
the final analysis, is one to be an
swered only according to individual
pre- ferment, In other words. there Is
probably as much to be said on the
one side as on the other. And fin
ally, speaking practically, there can
be no doubt that experience has shown
the machine to be Ticter.
It has been asked whether the for
eign manufacturers will take advan-
tage Of the reduction Of the tariff to
try and force the war into the terri
tory of their principal competitors.
But. judging by the opinions of local
automobile men and the unofficial
comments OF members of the Auto
mobile Chamber of Commerce. this Is
a dream that has no chance of COM
Ing true, Foreign manufacturers have
all they can do to maintain themselves
against the American competition on
their own ground now. So far, that
competition la practically confined to
the cheaper makes of American cars;
but sanguine motor engineers are pre-
dieting that 1t will not be long before

AS a matter of fact. IT is "A great deal
