Washington, Sept. 8. (U. P.) The senate lobby committee will investi gate charges of Senator Chamberlain, made on the floor late last night, that Sir Joseph Polk and other 'Canadian officials lobbied against adoption of the Chamberlain amendment to the revenue' bill. This would havo pre . vented admission into the I'nlted States of halibut or salmon from the north Pacific, except when the fish were sent in bond from an American port. The Investigation was ordered by a resolution Introduced today by Senator Curtis, Just before adjournment or con gress, and adopted without a vole. The lobby charge was made by .- Senator Chamberlain, Oregon, when the conference committee reported the amendment, adopted by the senate, had been stricken out. Chamberlain de clared striking out the section was a "humiliating and disgraceful aur ' render by the United States to the ' Canadian government in the Interest of Canadian commerce." Curtis' resolution was tabled, but he Introduced a second one, saying: "It is charged a lobby, representing a foreign government has lobbied against passage of a resolution which would have protected an American in dustry against . commercial aggrandize ment by an Industry of a foreign coun try."

Pres ident Wilson, in a formal statement to day, warmly praised the session of congress just closed. At the same time he expressed his regret that it had not had time to complete the railway dispute legislation proposed, and de clared bis expectation that the en tire program would be completed by the next session. "A very "remarkable session of con gress has just closed, full, as ail re cent sesslor. s of the congress have been, of helpful and humane legisla tion, which constitute contributions of capital Importance to the defence, the economic progress and the wholesome life of the country. Regrets FrogTam Incomplete. "It is, to be regretted that the ses sion could not have been continued long enough to complete the program recently projected with regard to the accommodation of labor disputes be tween the railway and the employes, but it was not feasible in the circum stances to continue the session any longer and therefore only (he most immediate pressing parts of the pro gram could be completed. The rest, it Is agreed, have merely been post poned until it can be more deliberated on and perfected. I have reason to believe it is the purpose of the leaders of the two houses Immediately on the i e-assembling or congress to under take this additional legislation. It is evident that the country should be re lieved of the anxiety which must have been created by" recent events with regard to the future accommodation oC such disputes." Signs Revenue Bill. "It's been good-"work." With these words, the president af fixed his signature to the revenue bill today and Indicated to leaders of the house and senate that the sixty-fourth congress, S3 far as it depended en his wishes, could come to a close. Something of an informal function was made'of the ceremony of signing the last bills of the session. Pres ent were several cabinet members. In cluding Secretaries Lansing, Gregory, Baker and Daniels. Vice President Marshall and Speaker Clark: were on hand, as well as a number of mem bers of both bouses. . Otner Bills Slg-aed. Sighs of relief mingled with the click of cameras as the president pat the final flourish on his signature that made the revenue bill a law. He already had signed the workmen's compensation act and the widow's pension bill the latter while Senators Hoke Smith and Bryan, chief oppon ents of it, looked on with rueiful grins. The president shook .hands iwlth sev eral of the party and left the room, accompanied by the Missouri dele gation. All were caught at the capl tol steps by a movie man. "Hurry up, Mr. Speaker. called the president to Clark, who lagged behinl a bit, "you are losing out on a fine picture." The speaker pulled alongside, 'took the president's hand and, turning to the picture men, said: "Blase away, here we are together." To Address Suffragists.

Washington, Sept. 7. (U. P.) Tri-l herltlng ita most pressing problems from the European war and Mexican bandits, and having had placed before, it one of the most elaborate legislative progsams ever known, the sixty-fourth congress, probably will go down In his tory as one of the nation's most event ful sessions. Called on twice to back the president in steps which it thought surely meant war with Germany, and actually ap propriating millions for the Mexican punitive expedition, it nevertheless found time for half a dozen domestic measures of major Importance and to approve the heaviest appropriations In Airerlcan history. "Preparedness" led in attention throughout. The largest naval appro priation the world has ever known ip peace time, and the next Dut one larg est army budget, were approved. Back of every economic measure child la bor, .rural credits, U. a. mercnaat ma rine, workmen's compensation, was the cry of "industrial preparedness."

The most sensational episode of the session was the fight over the Gore and McLemore resolutions, warning Americans off armed merchant ships after Germany had given notice it in tended torpedoing them. Avowedly slaps at the president's foreign policy, they brought the chief executive and congress into sharp conflict. Leaders of congress called on the president and warned him if the reso lutions came to a vote, they would be approved, two to one. The president's answer was a summary demand that they be tabled. Three or four days passed while the fight was organized from the White House. Then his con gressional lieutenants struck, and the resolutions were overwhelmed. After that, congress except for one halting exception accepted the president's leadership in foreign affairs without question. A short conflict loomed when the (Concluded on Page Fooxteen, Column One) BULL RUN RESERVE TO BE CLEARED OF ' PRIVATE HOLDINGS President Signs.
