HUNT FOR LOBBY
012 IN CAPITAL
luquiry Into Alleged Opposition
to Underwood Bill Begins.
FULL INFORMATION REQUIRED
Each Must Tell Under Oath Whether
He Has Any Interest in Matters Af
fected in Congress To Go on CHI!
in Relays of Four.
Washington, June 2. Tariff and cuf
rency reform went into eclipse today
when the senate began its hunt for
"the numerous and insidious lobby"
which President Wilson has said is at
work 'in Wasnington, threatening the
Underwood bill.
Some attention also will be diverted
to the senate Investigation of the West
Virginia coal strike, which will also
take form this week. Work on the
tariff and currency will go on, how
ever, with subcommittees grinding on
the schedules. The leaders hope tc
get the bill Into the senate not later
than June 23.
The most searching investigation
ever undertaken into the private af
fairs and business connections of mem
bers of the United States senate will
be the outgrowth of the lobby investi
gation, which opened this morning
before u subcommittee of the senate
Judiciary committee. While President
Wilson's declaration that a powerful
lobby Is at work attempting to Influ
ence action on the tariff forms the
basis of the senate Investigation, ques
tions prepared by the committee to be
asked of each member of the senate
are such as to carry the Investigation
far outside of tariff matters. Each
senator will be required to tell under
oath whether lie has, during this term,
or whether or not he has ever tried to
Influence any other senator to vote for
a measure In which he was interested.
Chairman overman of the subcom
mittee expressed the opinion that the
committee's questions would require
a statement by each senator as to any
business Interests be may have that
would be affected by the tariff, cur
rency or any other legislation. Many
members of the senate are associated
with manufacturing, live stock, finan
cial or farming corporations or inter
ests and to the questions of the com
mlttee they probably will be required
to give any such information if the
matter would affect their business in
any way.
Senators Overman. Reed, Walsh,
Cummins and Nelson were selocted as
the subcommittee to conduct the in
vestigation. At two subsequent meet
ings this subcommittee decided to sum
mons all members of the senate, be
ginning alphabetically and calling four
senators at a time-.
T. R. WINS LIBEL SUIT
Asks Nominal Damages After Newett
Issues Retraction.
Marquette, Mich, June 2. Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt was awarded the
verdict In the libel suit which he in
stituted against Editor George A. New
ett of the Ishpemlng (Mich.) Iron Ore,
who In an editorial had accused the
forme r president of drunkenness.
Mr. Newett had taken the witness
stand and retracted the charge. He
said he had been Impressed that an In
justice had been done the colonel in
the publication of the article and deep
ly regretted It. The plaintiff then
asked the Judge to Instruct the jury to
bring In merely nominal damages.
Nominal damnges means 6 cents un
der the laws of Michigan and no costs
This was done by the court, and the
Jury, following Instructions, awarded
Colonel Roosevelt C cents damages.
Colonel Roosevelt's statement to the
court was as follows: "Your honor, In
view of the statement of the defend
ant, I ask the court to Instruct the Jury
that I desire only nominal ilamages. I
did not go Into this case for money. 1
did not go into It for any vindictive
purpose. I went Into It, and, as the
court said, I made my reputation an Is
sue because I wished once for all dur
ing my lifetime thoroughly and com
prehensively to deal with these slan
ders so that never ngaln will It be pos
Bible for any man In good faith to re
peat them I have achieved ray pur
pose and I am content."

NEBRASKA EDITORS MEET j
Many Newspaper Men Occupy the Pu'-!
pits of Orr.iha Churches.
Omaha. .1 u n- 2. Editors of X.bras-j
ka are in (ini.il a by the hundreds. Be-j
tinning today and lusting- until Wed-j
nesday evening, they are to bold the j
annral session of the Nebraska State;
Press association.
Many of the editors arrived early
because they were scheduled to occupy
the pulpits of Omaha churches, there
to fll the congregations what the
press of th state has done to elevate
the morals of the state. They filled
the pulpits in a very creditable way,
drawing large tongregatlc-ns to hear
their messages.
This morning the editors started
their program at 9 o'clock at the Hotel
Rome. The addresses of welcome
were delivered by Mayor Dahlmanand

ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE
SOON TO DECIDE
Meet June 6 to Plan (or
1914 Election Mailers.
Lincoln, June 2. Committeemen of
the State Anti-Saloon, league are to
gather here June C and make final de
cision na to how many and what kind
of liquor initiative measures will be
submitted to the people at the 1914
election. Thus far there have been
three measures which the leaders In
clined to favor, but as there Is an idea
prevalent that this number would ue
too great for a concentrated fight, en
dangering the passage of all and divid
ing the support that could be rallied
around each, it is likely that only one
or two of the three will be u?cidea
upon. .
Tho measure providing that no sa
loons shall be located within two miles
of any state institution Is the most
likely to be brmight to the people for
approval or relation. The Idea, so
the story goes here, is the product of
a Joint eonterence neia uy superin
tendent Carson of the league am! his
Omaha co-workers. Their plan was
outlined after the legislative scrap
over university mnovat was uirnen
temporarily Into the liquor channel
and a five-block and then a three-block
limit was fought for by the senate
members of the conference committee.
The effort to limit saloons to one for
every eon population is not niveiy to-
burden the ballot at the next str-te
election. For a time some of the
league workers believed that it wo;ikI
be a popular move to ask the people
to vote upon this, but recent Indica
tions thnt it would be buried beneath
other far more important matters and
tlilng3 upon which the people like to
express themselves more than upon
liquor questions has about led the
league captains to pass this up for
the time being.

MEN PROTECT MILITANTS
Male Sympathizers Guard Suffragettes
From Mob With Clubs.
London, June 2 Defying the police
order closing Hyde park to their meet
ings, the Women's Social and Political
union sent speakers there, who held
forth for a long time under the pro
tection of male sympathizers armed
with clubs.
When the comparatively peaceful
non-militant organizations, which still
are permitted to use the park, finished
their customary demonstrations, flags
of the Women s Social and truncal
union were raised at twelve different
points and as many speakers ha
rangued the crowds.
Mobs of men and boys started to
rush the speakers, but found them
selves menaced by disciplined body
miards wielding stout clubs. The
crowds had to content themselves with
hooting and singing, while the police
looked on without attempting to check
tho speakers.
Tho maneuver dividing the gather
ing into sections proved successful
and the bodyguard of each division
was able to protect the women.
