THE RICHMOND PAI Anti-Trust Agent q Witness Tdday 1 Before Lobbying Probe Committee

' . J The attempt was made last week

Joe Helms, of Boston, will entertain County Agricultural Agent Cobb tomorrow at his farm near Boston. During the exhibition given In South Carolina last year, Mr. Cobb "curried" Helms' corn entries and- succeeded in securing the national trophy for him on the best ear of corn judged at the exhibition. The condition in Wayne county will be discussed by the two men. Mr. Cobb will be furnished offices at the court house as soon as possible. No Definite Plant. , 1 feel that the work of the County Agent will be largely governed by the farmers of Wayne County," said he. "I have been placed at their disposal and it is now up to them to make use of the office. It would be impossible for me at this early date to outline any definite work. Gradually lines of work in the plot testing of fertilizers, and in field demonstrations will be taken up wherever farmers are willing to co-operate. The growing of alfalfa and the furthering of dairy Interests should be of especial interest to farmers o! Wayne county. "One of the Important features pi

the new office will be the organizing of boys' and girls' corn and potato growing clubs, and fruit canning and domestic science clubs. This work will be done in co-operation with the county superintendent of schools. "After this week five days of each week will be spent on the farms of the county. On Saturday of each week I will be "at home" in my office in the court house, and will be glad to have the farmers call and get acquainted.

(National Rows Association) WASHINGTON, July 3. Lewis Cass Ledyard of New Yora, on the stand today before the lobDy investigating committee, declared that as far as he knew, the only "private interest" that Edward Louderback represented was David Lamar, who startled the committee yesterday with a story of impersonating congressmen and Inspiring certain legislation in congress. Mr. Ledyard said that Attorney Louderbach told representatives of the J. P. Morgan company that he had a a resolution of the Steel trust which Lamar had written. H. B. Martin Witness. Henry B. Martin of New York, secretary of the Anti-Trust League, testified that he had spent more than one-half of his time in Washngton during the last twenty years aiding in the enforcement of the Sherman anti-trust law. His statement that "his Investigations were through all the departments of government" amused the committee. Martin told the committee a story of the league's accomplishments during the last twenty years at the White

House and in congress, and said that the league had a hand in nearly every important piece of legislation put through, including the bureau of corporations.

Martin declared he gave Secretary of the Navy Daniels information about the armor plate trust, which led to an investigation. The. witness added his league had furnished the department of justice valuable information about the railroad trust, the coal and other trusts, and that he had been instrumental in starting the steel trust and money trust investigations. He said he was directly responsible for the creation of the department of labor, and obtained the enactment of the eight-hour law and the safety appliance act. He declined to tell where the funds of this league came from or to submit a list of its members. Martin admitted that Daid Lamar, the "Wall Street Wolf," prepared the resolution which became known in congress as the Stanley resolution for

the . Investigation of the steel trust

Many conferences on the form of the resolution were held, said Mr. Martin, to make it secure against the

criticism of the steel trust.

Calls Lovett Lobbyist. Martin also accused Chairman Lov

ett of the Union Pacific board of directors of trying to influence Attorney General McReynolds against doing what was in the interest of the public.

The attempt was made last week while Lovett was lobbying at the de

partment of justice, he said. Martin also told the committee that A. B. Dickey of the Carnegie Steel company, Vice President Johnson of the Bethlehem Steel company, and an agent of the Midvale company formed a lobby in Washington last March to induce the secretary of the navy to sign a contract for armor plate at figures much higher than its value.

FLY SWATTERS AND TRAPS PURCHASED Added Impetus Given to "Swat-the-Fly" Movement By Council.

That the citizens of Richmond mean to eliminate the fly evil as much as possible is evidenced by the number of fly-traps and fly-swatters that have been purchased from stores curing the last two or three weeks. One mer-

chant declared today that he believed jat least five hundred fly-swatters had I been sold so far this summer, and a big number of fly-traps had been disI posed of to various mercnants. j Added impetus to the "swat-the-fly" j movement in Richmond apparently was given by the fact that the city

! council killed the fly ordinance at

the meeting Monday night. Another fly ordinance will be drafted and presented at a meeting of council in the near future. The ordinance which was killed, provided for the screening of all places where flies breed.

WILL TRY DOEFER IN FEDERAL COURT . Youth Who Stole Stamps Too Old to Go to Plainfield.

Because he is one year older than boys who may be sent to Plainfield reformatory, William Doefer, 17, will submit to a hearing in the Federal court at Indianapolis, where his case was transferred after a preliminary hearing before Deputy United States Commissioner Perry Freeman. Doefer stole stamps from Quigley's drug store more than a week ago and has been held by the civil authbrities pending the action of postal inspectors. Doefer confessed and pleaded guilty to breaking into a building used for post office purposes at his preliminary hearing. The offense is punishable by a work house sentence at United States penitentiary at Fort Leavenworth.

MERITS OF TARVIA AND OIL DISCUSSED National Road Residents Unable to Agree on Material.

Members of the board of works and

j residents of the National road argued

the merits of tar via and oil for street surface dressing this morning at the meeting of the board. The National road residents are unable to come to

any agreement as to the best kind of dressing for the street and will let the matter be t ettled by the beard. The road which was constructed last year, contains a tarvla binder which the manufacturers of tanria say would be ruined by otL The West Richmond residents, however, claim that tarria causes sand to collect on the surface of the street in large quantities. An examination of the road by City Engineer Charles revealed that the sand is not from the road but is dropped by sand wagons which pass over the street from a gravel pit nearby.
