Did you tell them you were a
lobbyist in the pay of railroad and
power companies?" Schwellenbach
demanded.
No" the witness replied, but sew
eral of them knew it, I'm sure
When anybody comes here and
monkeys around with bunch of
Congressmen it is his duty to tell
them who's paying his expenses"
Schwellenbach declared. Why didn't
you tell them the railroads and power
people we're paying 80 per cent Of
your expenses"
Considers Income Percentage.
Smith would not agree as to the
percentage of his income from
utilities.
He objected to the committee going
into his private personal financial
affairs" when he was asked how much
money he had at the beginning OF last
year. Schwellenbach said the inquiry
was pertinent because of Smiths tes-
timony that he had used personaf
funds in his lobbying work as "ad-
vances to be repaid"
He said he advanced more than
$4,000 last year, Of which about $1,000
was repaid. About $4,000 was con-
tributed by power companies.
Smith said he had had members
of Congress to dinner, but he claimed
that generally they came to attend
meetings, particularly on the Petten-
gill bill"
It was brought out that some OF
the funds for payment of Smiths SAL
ary came from the Washington Water
Power Co., a subsidiary of the Electric
Bond & Share Co.
Various Residences Given.
Smith said he lived at various ad-
dresses last year, spending some time
at Woodley Park Towers, later at
1912 Webster street and then at the

said he rented from "a colonel" He

tertained Pettengill last week.
