EDITORS MM MINISTERS
Occupy the Same Platform in an
Open Discussion.
Q.UASI DEBATE ON MERITS
Iter. J. A. Jenkins Sutra-eats Co-
Operation, but for Bach to Stick
to His Respective Caat
Dlxby ia Humorous.
Three editors and three ministers dls-
cuessed "The Pulpit and the Press How
They Can Co-operate" at the Young
Men's Christian association Sunday after
noon before a body of men, among whom
a few women hod gathered to give tone
to the assemblage.
The discussion, though It was not so
intended, rather took the turn of a quasi-
debate of the relative merits of the two
institutions. The first speaker, Rev. J.
A. Jenkins, D. D., pastor of St. Mary's
Avenue Congregational church, Omaha,
struck the line of cleaveage, much to the
aceptance of all and sounded what was
thought to be the keynote of the discus
sion. He closed his 'remarks by suggest
ing that, while co-oporating, tho general
interests probably could be best sub
served by the editor and the preacher
sticking to their respective casts.
The first editor to speak, Cecil
Mathews of RIvcrton, In a very amiable
manner expressed the Vellcf that Dr. Jen
kins had not "hit hard enough," and so
he dealt a few blows from his corner.
From then on until the happy Blxby
closed the speech-making It ran along
lines of good-natured cross-fire, the
preachers and editors echedciwr each
other up on their professional tin oncom
ings. The occasion was -fraught by a
most hapny spirit of fellowship, anil,
after the meeting anotherwas 'Held in
the dining room on the first floor, where
editors and preachers got their feet un
der the same tables and did common Jus
tice to refreshments.
The other speakers were: EMI tors, Don
Van Duesen of the Blair Pilot and the
well-known A. L. Blxby of the Lincoln
State Journal, whose remarks were
tastily seasoned with a combination of
wit and wisdom; ministers. Rev. A. D.
Harmon, D. D of the First Christian
church. Omaha and Rev. A. C. Douglas,
D. D., of the Central United Presby
terian.
James B. Wootan of' The Bee and also
a member of the board of directors of
the Young Men's Christian association
presided. Rev. Hugh B. Speer, D. D.,
pastor of the First United Presbyterian

WASHINGTON, June L Th most
searching Investigation ever Undertaken
Into the private affairs and business con
nections of members of tho United
States senate will be tho outgrowth ct
the lobby Investigation, which Is to open
on Monday morning before a subcommit
tee of the senate Judlolary committee.
White President Wilson's declaration
that a powerful lobby Is at work attempt
ing to Influence action on the tariff
forms tit basis of tho senate investiga
tion, questions prepared tonight by tho
commltteo to be asked of eaoh momber
of the senate are suah as to carry tho
Investigation far outside of tariff matters.
Each senator will bo required to tell
under oath whether ho has any Interest
In any matter affeoted by congress, dur
ing his term, or whether or not ho has aver
tried to Influence any other senator to
vote for a measure, In which ha was
Interested.
Baoh Senator Mnat Anrrr.
Chairman Overman of the subcommit
tee, expressed the opinion tonight that
the committee's question would requlro
a statement by each senator as to any
business Interests ha may have that
would b affected by the tariff, currency
or any other legislation. Many members
of the senate are associated with manu-.
facturlng, live stock, financial or farm
ing corporations or Interests, and to tho
questions of the committee they probably
will be requlrod to give any lnfor,
matlon, if the matter would affect their,
business In any way.
Senators Overman, Reed, Walsh, Cujth
mlns and Nelson were selected early to
day by the Judiciary committee as the
subcommittee to conduct tho Investiga
tion. At two subsequent meetings this
subcommittee decided to summon all
members , of tho senate, .beginning al
phabetically and calling four senators at
a tlmv. Each senator will ba put under
oath and redulred to answer cloven for
mal questt6ns prepared by the commit
tee, and1 further questions that mtmbera
may ask. The first two questions sub
mitted, which are expected to disclose
any interest members of the senate may
have In legislation before that body aro
as follows:
What Questions Are.
"Please state whether or not you aro
financially Interested In the production,
manufacture or sale of any article men
tioned In the tariff bill or any other bill
now pending In congress or which baa
been considered during your term oa
senator: If so, state fully the naturo and
extent of such Interest and whether you
ever 'sought to Influences any other sen
ator as td duties on suah articles.
"Please state whether you represent
or are connected professionally or other
wise, directly or Indirectly with an per
son, firm, association, corporation or
organization which la engaged In tho
manufacture, production or sale of any
article named In the tariff bill now pend
ing In congress; If so, state whether you
ever sought to Influence any other sen
ator as to the duties upon such articles."
The committee will then attempt by
further questions to develop fully the
facts as to the statement that a great
and powerful lobby Is working In Wash
ington In an effort to secure special con
cessions In the tariff bill.
The course to be followed In securing
President Wilson's testimony or any
statement he may novo to make has not
yet been determined upon. Member
of the subcommittee decided to wait until
Monday before deciding what should b
done to carry out that part of the senate
