ft hint Tuesday night of further sen
sations in the committee's activities.
An inquiry has been under way for
some time, it is understood, into ope
ration of paid press bureaus conducted

marily to the testimony of Wall st.

Developments Tuesday indicated
that officers of the senate and mem
bers of the lobby committee have
been busy secretly for several days
securing new information, the nature
of which now is concealed. Sen.

day, is said to have acted for the
committee unofficially In the obtain
ing of Information and the names of
desired witnesses.

Interest centered again Tuesday
about the charges Involving many
present and former members of con
gress contained in the correspondence

eight years of service as an agent of
the National Association of Manufac
turers. Former Presidents Parry and
Kirlcy of that organization who were
to have Failed Tuesday from San Fran

"Wednesday by Rep. Sherley of Ken
tucky and Neeley of Kansas for an
Immediate Investigation of the Mulhall

resentative of the National Associa
tion of Manufacturers in Washington
also has been subpoenaed to bring all
his papers bearing on legislative activ
ities. Sen. Overman declined to reveal the
extent of the proposed investigation
into paid press bureaus further than
to say that "other developments are
coming". The committee learned dur
ing its interrogation of so-called sugar
lobbyists th?t large sums had been
tpent for publicity and for contracts
covering certain kinds of news service.

Cigar Tossed Out of Apartment
Window Starts a Blaze on

trous Results.
NEW YORK, July 2. A spark
which blew in through tho window
caught in the clothing of Mrs. Marie
L'Huillier as she was sitting alone in
her apartment at C609 Broadway,
Tuesday afternoon, and she was burn
ed to death before aid could reach
her. The lire started from a cigar
or cigarette which wag thrown onto

democrats approached a final agree
ment on the Underwood-Simmons tar
iff bill in caucus late Tuesday when

come tax on premiums returned to
policyholders In the form of dividends.

cent per pound was agreed to, for all
trading in cotton futures, the tax to

a speech before the progressive con
