No Canadian Lobby,
Says Sir Joseph Pope

Ottawa. Ontario. Sept. S.-Charges
that a Canadian lobby at Washington
caused the elimination Of the Cham

Pacific fishery dispute were denied to-

reSentative TO Washington on this

Acts on Chambe fiain's
Charges Concerning
Fisheries Pill.
STATE DEPARTMENT
SCOUTS ACCUSATION
But Adndts That Embassy
conveyed Threats of
Retaliation.

Washington, Sept. Investigation
OF lobby which the British Embassy
and Canadian government are alleged
10 have conducted here against the
/ Chamberlain fisheries amendment was
4 ordered by the Senate to-day on motion
Of Senator Curtis. of Kansas. The Sen
ate lobby committee was directed to in
3 quire into the charge made on the floor
last night by Senator Chamberlain, OF
/ Oregon, that Sir Joseph Pope, Canadian
Secretary for External Affairs, on re-
cent visit TO Washington, had, with the
assistance Of the British Embassy, at
tempted to influence this legislation,
and apparently had succeeded.
Mr. Chamberlain and Senator Jones,
OF Washington, read 20 the Senate let
tiers from the State Department and
from Sir Joseph Pope and the counsel
lor Of the British Embassy, all tending
to establish his charge that the Cana
dian government had been active
against his measure. The Chamber
lain amendment was intended TO pro-
tect the American fishing fleet by re
curing fishing vessels IN the Northwest
10 discharge their catch at American
ports if intended for American markets.
This measure, Mr.. Chamberlain said.
vas paralleled BY Canadian orders IN
council, and hence could not properly
be objected 20 by Canada.
Representative Henry 7. Rainey, Of
, Illinois. one Of the House cOnterrees
on the revenue bin responsible for
striking the amendment out, rldlculed
the lobby charges. He declared that
the amendment was designed solely TO
boost" the seaport towns OF the
Northwest and was opposed by the fish
ing interests.
State Department officials admitted
to-day that threats of retaliation had
been made by the British government
If the Chamberlain amendment was en-
acted, but secuted the idea that there
had been any "lobbying.' These re-
talatory measures would fall heaviest
on the great fishing Industries OF the
North Atlantic, they said, and would
not affect Mr. Chamberlain's constlt-
uents They pointed out also that the
demand for the amendment was by no
means unanimous, but that many
American interests. the fishermen and
ship line owners included. desired 10
use Canadian ports.
The Investigation ordered to-day VIII
not be undertaken until after election,
members of the lobby committee SAID
to-day The chairman of the commit
tee. Senator Ovcrman, Of North Caro-
lima. had left the city when the motion
was passed.

DOESN'T LIKE HYpHENS,
so CHANGES HIS NAME
Wolf Heinrich Friedrich Kuhl
Now Henry F. HeHly.

Wolf Heinrich Friedrich Kuhl, OF
262 West l26th Street, exchanged TINS
name yesterday for the more American
cognomen Of Henry Frederick Hcnly,
by order of Justice Finch. Of the Su-
preme Court.
In mis- petition Kuhl set forth that
he did not know what his name should
be. The one he bore was that Of MS
stepfather. who had married his
mother soon after kuhps birth, the
baby's father having died. The man
saws he has reason TO believe that be-
fore his mothers second marriage he
bore another name. His mother has
been dead for many years. and he has
10 living relatives who can give him
any information on the subject.
Kuhl adds that he dislikes his name
and desires one Of less German
sound. since he has a lineage devoid
of hvphens. and desires a title which
will not arouse feelings Of anger and
shame within me whenever | hear It
pronounced"
