ment in which he declares that as a

turers he had “reached” and “influ
enced” many representatives and
senators. He goes into the matter at
length, stating that he conducted his
operations from a room in the capi

came like a bolt of lightning out of
a clear sky, after so many legislators
testifying that they knew nothing
about the existence of any alleged
lobby. The President told the cor

ough investigation of the Mulhall
charges.

while 38 are opposed to government
ownership of railroads, its passage
by that body became a certainty.

ordered that hearings on the Alaska
railroad bill will begin July 9. The

at the present session. This action has
given Alaskans here new hope and
results are looked for within the
next five or six weeks, that will mean
the opening up and development of
that territory.

WASHINGTON, July 3.—What
promises to be one of the most elab
prate and beautiful pageants ever
seen in this city will be the children’s
portrayal of historic and allegoric
scenes on the Fourth of July. For
several years the city has observed
a safe and sane Fourth, but It has
been deadly slow for the small folks.
Now with some thousands of young
sters preparing for a gigantic fete,
to say nothing of fond mammas, the
birthday of the nation will surely
have something done. The children
will be seen in folk dances, tableaux,
parades and the like. Everybody
will have a part, a part with plenty
of singing, walking, running and
cheering, in almost any costume
that the young actor’s fancy suggests.
