Wilson Unruffled by Lobby Charge in Senate Probe
Washington June 7 Senators on the lobby investigating committee viewed Senator Townsend’s charge that President Wilson lobbied for the tariff bill as unlikely to form an issue without specific charges. The panel prepares to finish testimony from remaining witnesses and question more figures linked to influence in Washington. White House officials remain unperturbed and say Wilson would testify only if a concrete charge is made. Officials deny a patronage club influenced senators. Democratic members argue Republicans must drive inquiries, while Republicans push for facts underpinning Townsend Weeks and Warren statements. Next week’s witnesses include B D Bowen of Paris Texas, circular letters from the National Farmers Union urging stronger action on cotton duties.

In Tallaoosa and Tifton Georgia on June 7 Special reports a rare female hobo named Roving Nell, about 16, who has roved eleven countries and most U S states.

Her brother guides her travels, but she remains drawn to life on the road. The piece notes her wanderlust, family background, and the perilous balance between danger and freedom she embraces.
