HINT sm LOBBY CQNdESIEN AIKT AT CAPITIL WILSON’S CBAHOE TRUE One Forawr Senator sad Fonr Form er RepreoenUtivee Admit They Had Internet An Making of Tariff— They Deny UavAng Done Anything Improper or Concealed, The Washington correspondent of The News and Courier says turning gtray from the examination of col leagues who might have been In- ftuenced in matters of legislation, the Senate lobby investigating committee le£e Monday began to inquire into fee Washington pursuits of those who might have exercised the in- fluence. With only half a dozen Sen ators yet to take the witness stand fee majority of the committee is con vinced that it has seen a flash of the underground workings of a lobby and believes that only patient search is needed to reveat the trail that will lead to the quarry. The minority members apparently are not so cer tain that an “insidious" lobby will be discovered. The few Senators who have not been heard are out of the fety and will testify before the hear ings are concluded. One former Senator and four for mer Representatives Monday admit ted more or less interest in legisla- Moa at the Capitol, but none would ear that be considered his cause un- feeC or that he bed done anything Improper. Their work had been feme la the opea, they say, and epa- Metsl mostly in the filing of briefs befere oommttteee of Congreee, mak- fek oral arguments la behalf of fefcets and arranging for hearings fer their employers.

He also figured hi legislation affecting the telephone company In the District of Oolumbia. *T suppose you would accept em ployment from any institution or concern that wanted you to appear before committees of Congress, so long ss you regarded the matter as public and straightforward?” aaked Senator Reed. “I would,” answered Mr. Hull. ‘’That may be said to be your pres ent pooupation and employment?” "I would hardly like to say,” was fee reply. ’ Mr, Kopp declared he had spent probably three wdeks In Washington feertly after his retirement from Congress In March. Although he had once declined, he said, at the earnest solicitation of people In hie home dis trict, ho had ocme back to Washing- •toa to present arguments In behalf ef tha load and glpc schedules.

C Only About Twenty of the Mexican A dispatch from Mexico City says ss the result of the discovery of a plot to Incite rebellion In the capital, the police Monday night arrested Dr. Rafael Cepeda, former governor of San Lull Potosl and four men of less political prominence. A number of army officers of minor ranks are said to be Involved in the plot against the Huerta government. More than 250 members of the Federal garrison which was success ful In the defense of Zacatecas against a superior rebel force several weeks ago, were either killed or tak en prisoners, according to survivors who Tuesday straggled Into Aguas Calientes. Telegraphic communica tion between the capital and Zacate cas has been suspended for more than a month and Tuesday’s news was the first direct confirmation the govern ment had received of the reported capture of the city by the rebels. Only twenty men of the Zacatecas garrison of 300 escaped, according to the statement of these Btrrvtvers, which was telegraphed to the War Department from Aguae Calientes. The attacking force, they stated, numbered about 900. The Federals resisted until the fighting in the ■trets had resulted in the killing of many non-combatants. The successful rebels forced loans and looted some of the business houses of the city. One of the weal thiest residents of Zacatecas was exe cuted because he refused to contri bute 20,000 pesos to tbs revolutlon- tets. Ths governor was made a pris oner. No mention was mads of any foreigners being injured. Four caanon and a few machine guns were captured by ths rebels but tks refugees stated that practically all of the ammunition not used In the defense of the garrison was exploded before tbs Federals surrendered According to advices received by ths War Department, a rebel army Is moving on Agues Calientes where the garrison Is not large and the altua tlon Is complicated by the presence of many Idle workmen who are expected to Jola the rebel ranks DIB FAK FROM (DUMB. an CLA&lHbb COLUMN ANL FARMERS EXCHANGE PliANTfl.
