Senator King Proposes In
vestigation as Mrs. Win
ter Says She Was Offered
Huge Bride for Influence.
BY CAROLINE BELL

CopNTlSn, by Inc San Antonio Light
Washington, ID. c., Feb. 14.-It
vas almost like the old days on
Capitol Hill today 10 hear the cloak
rooms of House and Senate buzzing
with the gossip of "lobv scandal. :"
lobbying has been taken for granted
these mast few years, but now the
legislators are going to call halt. At
least they say they are.
1t was all very well for huge
"lobbies- TO be maintained in Wash
ington for the passage of prohibition
and woman suffrage laws and amend.
ments, but when it comes to men and
women working for or against indiv-
idual bills, the senators and congress
men are about fed up.
A particular effort is going TO be
made, il seems to clear the House and
Senate Hobbies of the female species,
despite the fact that the members Of
the women's lobby" vehemently deny
that they have utilized sex attraction
in a "vampish" way.
Senator King. of Utah. is one. of
the chief crusaders who have risen
against the feminine influence in ma
tional legislation. He doesn't like
lady lobbyists" and comes right out
in meeting to say so. Persuasive
voices, pleading eyes and propitiating
pats upen the senatorial coat sleeve
make him peevish. His wrath has
been particularly aroused by the state
ment Of Mrs. Thomas Gerald Winter
of Minneapolis. president of the Gem
'eral Federation of Women's Clubs,
that she had been offered bride of
$250,000 to loby for "certain legisla-
ton" .....
Matter For Speculation.
Word came from Mrs. Winter today
that she was ready TO appear before
any senatorial committee which might
be named to investigate the lobby
scandal. The Capitol was alive with
gossip today as to just what legisla-
ton was involved in the huge offer
made to Mrs. Winter. Speculation
ranged all the way. from the general
tariff bill to some of the more recent
measures dealing with public lands in
the west, particularly Indian lands.
The latter bills have aroused storm
Of opposition, especially among wo-
mems organization.
Mrs. Winters assertion that she
was offered great bride wns cor
roborated here today by Miss Lyday
Hafford. executive secretary at the
Washington headquarters of the Gen
eral Federation of WOmen's Clubs.
Miss Hafford says the bride offer first
was made known to her and that she
induced the man who offered it TO

Lobby Scandal" Gets Capital
Talking and Charges Are Made

nut his proposition in writing. The
Federation has the letter on file and
will produce it before the proposed
investigating committee. The whole
affair has caused great stir among
the woman leaders in Washington.
Senator King is hopeful of COM
plete investigation of the various lob
bies being maintained in Washington.
Whether this investigation will be
held during the coming recess of Con-
gress or be put over 10 the next ses-
sion cannot be foretold at this time.
Senator King has introduced a reso-
luton aimed at clearing the Capitol
of lobbyists of all breeds and sex.
But Just how the females represent
ing various "causes" and the males
representing various interests" can
be done away with has not been ex-
planned by the senator, To the writer
today he indicated with a careless
sweep of the arms that it was going
to be case Of loft with their
heads" or something equally simple.
Perhaps each senator and, congress
man will be presented with a neat
package of sealing wax 10 stuff in
their ears. barking back to the method
Of Ulysses for circumventing sirens.
Senator King docs not discriminate
between lobbyists. They all look alike
to him.
"But senator" the writer expostu-
lated, there are good lobbyists ana
bad lobbyists. just like there used to
be good trusts and bad trusts in the
Roosevelt days"

ply. Lobbyists should have no place
in our form of government"

ton here in Washington is but re-
flex. of what is going on in nearly
every state capital. Only today word

Birmingham Southern c 0 e showed the Marion Cadets under on Munger Bowl Monday afternoon, when 25 hits by Panther batsmen were cashed in for P runs. while seven hits by the Cadets discounted for two runs. The Partners displayed q style of base running that was a revelation to Birmingham Southern packers. Only In one or two in stances did the runners get careless on the bases and get caught off.
 The Cadets started Whelchel, southpaw, who stayed in the box throughout the game despite the four three baggers, three two-bsggers his offerings. The Partners used everything from bunts and squeeze plays to home runs in their scoring Two beautifully executed squeeze plays were worked by the Partners in the eighth that counted two runs
 Hodge pitched for the Partners and had the game well in hand at all times. The Cadets were held hit less in six of the nine innings Three hits and one run, scored on sacri- flee fly, were gotten off Hodge in the third and two hits each in the sixth and seventh. The Cadets scored both their runs on sacrifice flies.

 Caldwell led the Panther hitters with home run and three singles and four runs out of four times up. Norton was next with a triple and three singles and two runs out of four times up. Godbec was among the leaders with a triple and three singles and three runs out of five times up.
