THE MORNIXQ OREGOXIAN. TUESDAY. JUNE lO, 1913. LOBBY INQUIRY IS SHIFTED SUDDENLY State Senate Hears Ex-Congressmen Admit Having Interests at Stake. IDAHO MAN MAY BE CALLED px-Penator Dubois lilkely to Rave to Answer to Charge of Working In Interest of Duty on Lead Made by Poindearter. WASHINGTON. Juno 9. Turning away from the examination of col leagues who might have been influ enced in matters of legislation, the Senate lobby investigating committee late today began to inquire into the "Washington pursuits of those who might have exercised the influence. With only half a dozen Senators yet to take the witness stand, the majority of thr committee is convinced that it has seen a flash of the underground workings of a lobby and believes that only patient search Is needed to reveal the trail that will lead to the quarry they are seeking. The minority members apparently are not so certain that an "insidious" lobby will be discovered, but say they will use their ability as cross-examiners with every witness whose testi mony is encouraging. The few Sena tors who have not been heard are out of the city and will be allowed to tes tify as they see fit before the hearings are concluded. Kx-ConK-remen Examined. One ex-Senator and four men who Bat at one time or other in the House of Representatives were put to the test of the committee today. They all admitted more or less interest in leg islation, but none would say that he considered his cause unjust or that he had done anything Improper. Senator Iteed was the principal In quisitor, and he apparently expected to show that many men spend most of their time In Washington with nothing to do but convince Congress it is wrong about particular legislation. Ex-Senator Faulkner, of West Vir ginia, was the first witness from the outside. He told the committee he rep resented 22 of the big railroads of the country ami had represented them here for many years. Kaulkner F.xnlnln work. "In justice to myself and the rail roads." said Mr. Faulkner, "I will say that I 5tnow of no lobby that has ever been brought here In reference to rail road matters at any time for the pur pose of influencing members of Con press. My business has been to find pills that affect railroads, send them to my clients and give my opinion of them. If the railroads find some thing they regard as prejudicial, or If they need amendment, they notify me to arrange a hearing before the cora tnittee in charge." The other Congressional witnesses were J. A. T. Hull, of Iowa; A. W. Kopp, of Wisconsin; Charles S. Ben nett, of New York and Charles B. Xandis. of Indiana. Mr. Hull said he had been out of Congress for two years and had been In Washington most of the time since. He had represented an association of corn products manufacturers in which four concerns wore interested In the pending tariff bill, presenting his case by filing briefs with the House ways and means committee and sending let ters to Senators. He had talked with Senator Cummins because he was fa miliar with the duties in which he was Interested. Veterinarians Have Interest. Mr. Hull said he had been interested also in legislation for the Veterinarian Association of the United States, which Wished to obtain commissioned rank ing for Its member In the Army for a Mr. Baker, of Philadelphia, who was Interested In the duty on cocoanuts, and for representatives of the Govern ment of Ecuador, who w-lshed Govern ment engineers to Investigate sanitary conditions there. He also figured In legislation affecting the telephone com pany in the District of Columbia Mr. Kopp declared he had spent prob ably three weeks in Washington short ly after his retirement from Congress In March to present arguments on be half of lead and zinc schedules. Ex-Senator Fred T. UuBois. of Idaho, probably will be summoned to appear before Senate lobby investigat ing committee to explain charges made today by Senator Potndexter that he (DuBois) is a lobbyist, working in the Interest of the Idaho lead producers. Senator Potndexter said DuBois had not resorted i Improper means to in fluence votes of Senators on lead tariff but he understood him to be an em ployed representative of the North Idaho lend producers, working for a duly on lead, and on that charge ruBols probably will be called to ex plain.
