WASHINGTON, August 3

Senator Gooding offered a substitute lor Senator Caraway's recent resolution asking for investigation concerning Senators interested in wool raising, in which he proposes that the Senate should investigate the newspapers which have criticised the Tariff Bill, or which accepted advertisements or subsidies from individuals or business' concerns engaged in the importing business, and, investigation regarding Senators interested in wool growing, as well as a.l Senators or their immediate relatives engaged i.i any industry or business affected by the Tariff Bill.

This is considered a retaliatory measure, since Senator Gooding is a large wool grower, and during the debates declared that because a Senator is interested in any business affected by the Tariff, that does not mean that he should vote on duties are. Jug such business. The resolution, which is considered the strangest ever introduced in the Senate, caused an uproar. WASHINGTON, August 4.

' Senator Calder, chairman of the committee of Audit Control, recommended the Senate to reject the Gooding resolution, the committee having decided that investigation would be too costly, and would produce no worthy results.
