WASHINGTON, July 29. Investiga tion of charges that certain senators are interested financially in the rates of duties proposed in particular sched ules of the peuding tariff bill was pro posed in a resolution Introduced today by Senator Caraway, democrat, Arkan sas. ' The inquiry would bo conducted by the judiciary committee which would be instructed to report to the senate within ten days. Also the committee would inquire into Charges that sena tors, in the language of the resolution "are or were financially interested in the passago or extension of the so called emergency tariff." Senator Caraway read from an edi torial of the New York Herald, charg ing that certain senators were interest ed in the production of wool and imme diately was interrupted successively by all of the senators mentioned in the editorial, with a resulting running cross-tire of debate which waxed warm at times. x Senator Gooding, Idaho, chairman of the republican agricultural tariff bloc. said Senator Caraway had voted for a duty on rice and that his interest in rice should be investigated. Denying that he or any of his relatives had any financial interest in the production of rice, Senator Caraway said he would say to anybody who charged it, was an "unqualified llar."- Senator Smoot of Utah, in charge of the wool schedule, reiterated his de nial that he was Interested in Bheep raising declaring he had not owned a single sheep or lamb for many years. Senator Oddie, republican, Nevada, another of those mentioned in the Herald editorial, told the senate he did not own one sheep and was not inter ested in the wool matter "except as I am interested In the welfare of the west." Not a Littlo Slur Senator Bursum, republican, New Mexico, declared If the senate was going to spend its time investigating "every littlo slur" that was made in tho newspapers against senators it would accomplish little business. Senator Caraway replied that he did not regard the charges that sena tors were voting to take money from other people to put in their own pockets through the medium or leg islation as a "little slur." Mr. Bursum replied that "he had no objection to; the world knowing about this matter,'!,' Ho denied he was a millionaire as one publication had averred. Senator faraway, ask ed for immediate .'consideration of the resolution hue S Senator Wads worth, republican, New York, ob jected and the measure went over the rules. Senator Gooding wanted to know if Senator Caraway owned any prop erty in Arkansas and ttpon receiving an affirmative reply he asked If the senator has not voted for the rice duty to improve tho general welfare in his state and thUB enhance the value of his own property. j Replying In the negative, Senator Caraway added: "If I had a dollar invested in rice I would not have voted for a duty." "If every senator followed that out," said Senator Gooding, "there would not be a quorum on the tar iff." , .;..'. .. . . ... .. "If they .voted that way It would be hotter for the United States If the senate never1 did have a quorum," returned Mr. Caraway. The Idaho senator remarked that there should be an investigation of the whole matter. Whiskey and Jacknsscs Senator Stanley, democrat, Ken tucky, suggested that the : senate might approve sum such amend ment to the wool schedule as offered by Senator Lenroot, republican, Wis uinsln, lowering the rate on, low) grade woods and Senator Gooding asked if that should not be applied to all schedules. Mr. Stanley replied in the affirma tive, and added that he was willing for It to be applied to everything In Kentucky from "a bottle ol whiskey to horses and mules."
