Such a committee. he thought, could
clean up the situation in sixty days.
James l.. King of the Philadelphia
exchange objected to increasing stor-
age and demurrage charges at railroad
terminals there. representative of
the Nebras ska state railway commission
testified that grain producers in that

Members of Congress Recall
Talking With Alleged Ger

ALLIANCE SAID TO BE
BEHIND WORK HERE
Senator Gore Makes Emphatic
Statement in Reply to New York
Papers Revelations.

Charges that a German lobby" in
been operating freely about the halls
of Congress, as published in the New
York World today were read with deep
interest by senators and representa-
tives at the Capitol today.
Senators who are reported to have
talked with an agent of the alleged
lobby today said they recalled con-
versations with such a person, and al
so that they had received letters from
him. The particular man to whom they
had reference is said to have been T.
L. Marsais who was in Washington
STAYING at Congress Hall during the
early part of January.
Said to Be Behind Work.
According to the report in the World
the National German American Ali
ance is behind the work of the lobby,
and this same force is the driving force
back of the Gore and McLemore reso-
Iutions warning American citizens not
belligerent powers
The World published letters alleged
to have been written by MarSalis from
Washington to Alphonse q. koelble at
so Maiden Lane, New York city. where
the clearing house of the alliance in its
congressional campaign is said to be
conducted by Mr.. koelble.

Letters alleged to have been written
to koelble by Marsalis. signed some
times Goethe and at others Locke. were
published by the World. One of them
dated January IL, 1916, and sent from
Congress Hall here. says:

Remembered Man With Resolution.

Senator Borah of Idaho who Marsalis
in his letter said has fool idea about
Americans going everywhere" said
that he remembered man coming to
see him in the Senate lobby and urg-
ing him to introduce a resolution to
prohibit Americans from travelling on
beIligerent-oWned merchant vessels.
'.If MarSaliS is the man he has got me
right in his letter" said Senator Borah.
for I told the man who came to see
me that his resolution did not in anv
way represent my views. and that |
would not introduce il. ! told him that
there were others. however. that he
might find to introduce il for him | said
that in my opinion Americans had a
right to travel anywhere they desired
under the law.

that ! had met him before. The only

Knows Nothing of German Lobby.

Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia said
that he knew nothing of any German
lobby at work here and that if he had
he would have had nothing to do with
its agents. but would have turned them
out in short order.
He said that he did not remember
having any conversation with MaFsaliS.
but that he did remember receiving
two or three letters signed by him. He
said that he received hundreds of let
tiers on the subject of the war. and
that he could not remember what was
in Marsalis letter.
MY views are well known. said
Senator Smith, for l have expressed

can commerce."

Did Not Recall Marsalis.

Senator Kern of Indiana. the demo-
cratic leader of the Senate said that he
did not recall Marsalis, though he
might have talked with him at Con-
gress Hall, for that is Senator kern's
headquarters while in Washington.
II may have said to him that | ia

Tells of Conversations.
Senator Cores Statement.

Senator Gore gave out the following
statement:
There is nothing easier to Say than
that senators and representatives, have
been influenced by a German lobby
This argument proves nothing except
the absence of any other argument. 1t
would be just easy to say that the
paper making the charge has been
bought, bribed, corrupted and debauch-
ed by the American owners of British
ships, by the American owners of Brit
Ish bonds, by pro-British lobby in the
United States.
such an argument would prove moth
ing except the absence of any other
argument. 1t would have just as much
truth and Just as little truth as the
statement that senators and represent
atives have been thus debauched
Epithets are not argument. The I'M
fairness of such irresponsible accusa-
tions is demonstrated by the fact that
many senators and representatives who
are in favor of warning American cti-
Zens off armed ships are strongly pro-
ally in their personal sentiments but
officially they are neutral in accord
ance with their public duty and the
Presidents proclama ton.

Publicity some people says is the
only way to accomplish anything so ]
guess you may give It hearing. The
people on Forest avenue that have to
cross the G. G. o. Railroad have been
climbing oyer rocks long enough, il
looks like, and If there is an ordinance
or law, the c. & o. should be compell-
ed to fix the crossings from the end
of Commerce street to the other end OF
Carmel street. Not half fix them or FIX
one here and there. We have applied
to the ones whom we though did the
best they could towards having the
matter attended to, but nothing done
so far, so this time we will ask the
Mayor If he won't take the matter up.

DIPLOMAT DUMBA DIES! PRESl-
DENT FORCTD RECALL

Geneva, November DIR. Constan-
tin Dumba, former Austrian Ambassa-
dor to the United States, died today
says a dispatch from Vienna.
On Saturday it was announced that
Emperor Francis Joseph has accepted
DR.. Dumba's resignation from the dip
lomatic services of Austria-Hungary.
DR.. Dumba was named Austro-Hun-
garian Ambassador to the United
States in 1918 and served until Sep
TENDER Is, 1915. when his recall was
asked by President Wilson.
The demand for the diplomatic re-
call followed revelations that he was
engaged in a propaganda to cripple
the output of American munitions fac
tories by fomenting strikes.
