INTENSIFY FEELING

Separate Inquiry.
WASHINGTON, Jur.s 30. Investiga.
lion of lobbyists and lobbies by the
Senate will reopen "Wednesday with a
number of prominent Wall street men
as witnesses. Chairman Overman, of
the special committee, decided late to
day, after a talk with President Wil
son and informal conferences with his
committee assistants, to renew activ
ity at once, instead of waiting until
July 8, as he had planned.
The claims of Martin XV. Mulhall. of
Baltimore, that as lobbyist for the Na
tional Association of Manufacturers he
had for years maintained close rela
tions with certain members of Con
gress and financed their campaigns for
re-election, have so intensified the feel
inpr in Congressional circles that the
lobby committee has determined to
proceed at once and to Interrogate all
persons connected with any of the re
cent lobby disclosures, as rapidly as
they can. be heard.
The witnesses for Wednesday in
clude Paul Cravath and Lewis Cass
Led yard, prominent New York lawyers,
and David Lamar, u. Wall street finan
cial man. The investigation will cen
ter about the charges made recently by
Robert S. Lovett, of the Union Pacific
Railroad, that many New York finan
ciers and lawyers had been approached
over the telephone by lobbyists and
persons representing themselves to be
members of Congress.
Until this branch of the inquiry is
disposed of the committee probably
u-ill not take up the more recent dis
closures of Mulhall. who is under sub
pena to appear July 8.
Steps already have been taken by the
Senate committee to get possession of
the letters and papers Mr. Mulhall pre
served, bearing upon his alleged opera,
tlons as a lobbyist. Subpenas were is
sued today for James A. Kmery, whom
Mulhall described in his article as the
'chief lobbyist" for the Xatlonal Asso
ciation of Manufacturers at Washing
ton; for J. H. McMichael, former chief
page of the House, whom Mulhall de
clared was in. the employ of the Man
ufacturers' Association, and for a num
ber of other persons named by Mulhall
as having been active In the affairs of
the association and In connection with
efforts to influence legislation or con
trol elections to Congress.
Demands from members of the House
for a separate investigation of the
Mulhall . charges by a special commit
tee of that body were made in many
quarters - today. Resolutions are ex

formed Secretary Bryan late today that

patched to him for delivery to the
United States a note additional to the
last Japanese rejoinder in the matter
of the California alien land law nego

AKED PRAISES NT
MINISTER CRITICISES ATTOR
XEY-GEXERAL M'HEYXOLDS.
Sorrow Expressed That "Wilson Has
Not Proved Himtself a
Bigger Man."
SAN FRANCISCO. June 30. (Special.)
Every seat in the First Congrega
tional Church was filled last night
when the Rev. C. F. Aked began his
announced sermon on the topic, "Do
We Respect Ourselves?" Dealing with
the retirement of John L. McNab as
United States District Attorney and
Clayton Herrington as agent of the
Department of Justice, the minister
criticised United States Attorney-Gen
eral McReynolds, while lauding McNab
and Herrington.
"We have had a glorious exhibition
of self-respect two sublime instances
cf the same manliness shown so long
ago by Nehemlah," said Dr. Aked. "I
glory in the action of these two men.
"The Caminettl-Diggs case Is i
singularly gross one and not a youth
ful escapade, as so often set forth.
"The excuse eriven bv the Attornev
General is the flimiest ever given by
man that the father was needed in
Washington for the time being to at
tend to his duties as Commissioner
General of Immigration.
"Immediately, however, that public
ity is given McNab's action, and the
papers of the city and Nation take up
the cry, the trials, which were before
deemed necessary to go over, are or
dered pushed at once with all possible
speed. If the trials can - go on now,
they could have gone on a week ago,
or before."
Dr. Aked referred to his own former
expressions of pleasure at the election
of Wilson as President, and then went
on: "It Is infinitely sad, however, that
President Wilson has not proved him
self a bigger man. His whitewash of
McReynolds is painful. McReynolds is
told that he has been doing just
exactly the right thing, but is advised
to do differently."
The congregation gave many expres
sions of approval in the course of the
address.

MOTORCYCLE HITS CAR
Two Men Injured In Accident at Sec
ond and Grant Streets.
While riding tandem on a motorcycle
at 7:30 last night, Albert Braunstein,
1604 Emeretta street, and Peter Macchy
collided with a South Portland street
car at Second and Grant streets, and
being dragged half a block were se
riously injured. - .
The motorcycle was coming down
Second street and the streetcar was go
ing east on Grant. The fender of the
streetcar probably saved the lives of
both riders and also prevented the
motorcycle from being demolished.
Both were said to be going at a fair
rate of speed.
Braunstein, who owned the motor
cycle, gained consciousness before ar
riving at the Good Samaritan Hospital,
where both injured men were removed
In an ambulance.- and couldn't remem
ber anything about the accident. He
did not know where he was or that he
had been hurt. He was cut about the
head.
Macchy, whose name was gained from
two letters in his pocket, one addressed
to 232 Main street and the other to 434
Spokane avenue, sustained, a fractured
skull and remained unconscious several
hours.
The streetcar was No. 612 and was
in charge of Conductor No. S64 and
Motorman No. 303.
Yotrns Persons Massed on Narrow
Wooden Walk Leading to Law
rence, Mass., Municipal Baths.
Jumping Breaks Posts.
LAWRENCE. Mass., June 30. A nar
row wooden walk over 15 feet of water
to the municipal bathhouse In the
Merrlmac River gave way today under
the stamping feet of a crowd of im
patient boys and at least 11 of the lit
tle fellows were drowned. There may
be more bodies In the stream.
The boys, ranging In age from 9 to
15 years, were waiting for William B.
Blythe, the bathhouse keeper, to open
the door. No one knew then how many
there were in the party, but It is
thought that 40 is a conservative esti
mate. The boys were jumping up and down
as they shouted to Blythe to open Up,
when the supports sank and the walk
extension dropped like a trap door,
rolling the lads into the river.
There was a swift current- at this
point drawn by the falls a quarter of
a mile below. The youngsters were
caught in this. Many of them could
not swim. Witnesses on the river bank
say that all disappeared in a flash, but
a moment later there was a struggling
mass on the surface.
The stronger ones who could swim
struck out bravely for the boathouse
and a score saved themselves. Their
cries brought aid and several others
were pulled ashore. Five unconscious
forms were brought from the water
and two of these were finally resusci
tated. Efforts to restore the others
were futile.
It was thought at first that only
three wer drowned, and it was not
until two hours later that the probable
total was realized.
Boats and grappling irons were then
brought and the riverbed was dragged.
When the work ceased late tonight II
bodies had been recovered.
Most of the youths were from the
mill district, and when word of the
accident reached these homes thousands
crowded the river bank. In the con
fusion parents lost track of their chil
dren, and, fearing they had been in the
swimming party, besieged the police
with inquiries.
All the bodies recovered tonight were
identified.
Frank McDonald, a deep-sea diver.
summoned from Boston, reached the
bathhouse with his submarine equip
ment late in the evening and began
& search of the river bottom. After two
hours' fruitless labor he suspended op
erations for the night.
FOUR GIRDS, SISTERS, DROWN

ELKHART, Ind.. June 30. Four girls,

save a younger sister.
Grace Schwyn, 7 years old. fell Into
the river while picking cherries from
a limb which overhung the water. The
other girls, Alice. 16; Clara. 13, and Ida,

GOVERNOR WEST UPHELD
CONVICTS UNDER EXECUTIVE,
RULES ATTORNEY-GENERAIi.
Every Man Confined in Penitentiary
May Be Put Out on Roads and . .
Pardoned or Paroled.
SALEM, Or., June 30. (Special.)
According to an opinion rendered to
day by Attorney-General Crawford,
Governor West has the right to put into
operation his "honor system" to any
extent he sees fit, outBide the peni
tentiary and state institutions, in and
near the Capital City. The Attorney
General holds that the executive's con.
trol of convicts was restricted by the
law creating the Board of Control only
to the convicts In the prison and those
assigned to work in and near the city.
If he sees fit, according to Mr. Craw
ford, the Governor may assign every
man confined in the penitentiary to
road work, and that particular work
finished. If the men are not pardoned
or paroled meanwhile, they may. be
returned to the penitentiary and receive
credit.
The opinion was asked by State
Treasurer Kay, a. member of the Board
of Control, who does not approve the
Governor's "honor system." The Attorney-General
says that the assign
ment of convicts to county road work
is a mitigation of sentence, and comes
within the pardoning- power. He de
clares the Legislature cannot deprive
the Governor of any course he might
wish to adopt under that power.
The Governor, in a statement a. few
days ago. said he Intended extending
his "honor system" under the act pro
viding for the working of convicts on
the county roads.
