REMARKABLE STORY BE

and Form a Gentlemen's Agree
ment and Trouble Averted.

WASHINGTON. d. c.. July IA
Martin NJ. Mulhall. professed feld
agent. strike breaker. lobbyist and Do
litical worker for the National Asso-
citation of Manufacturers. continued
to-day his remarkable story before
the senate lobby investigating COM
mittee. Mulhall was on the stand
for six hours. In that time nearly
600 letters. kilograms and scraps OF
memoranda were identified by him
with hardly more than a glance. He
remembered apparently the hrst
names of members OF congress-, Of
lesser politicians. OF labor leaders and
underlings of secretaries to congress-
men and of all the men he had work
ed with through a year OF most &C
tive campaigning in many parts OF
the country. His performance SEEM
ed so remarkable TO lawyers present
that they sat all through a long day
intently watching the witness and
listening closely TO the letters and
every word that the witness uttered
in the brief cross-examination that
accompanied some OF them.
The threatened rupture between the
senate and house committees appar-
emily ended to-day with a friendly

sides. Under this arrangement the
senate committee will finish it's exam
ination of Mulhall before he Is turn
ed over TO the house; II will also put
in the Record all the MuIhall cor
respondence 1t cares to. Copies of all
the letters and memoranda put in the
Record will be furnished every men,
ber of the Garrett committee and
they will have ample time TO study
the case before they get Mulhall In
the meantime. James r. Emery, a
Washington attorney for the National
Association of Manufacturers, who is
under subpoena by both committees
will be allowed 10 appear in the house
wing with papers he was ordered TO
produce.
No More Conflict.
Chairman Overman said TONIGHT
that all the difficulties That looked 90
formidable for a few days had been
smoothed out and that each commit-
tee would now proceed In its own way
without conflict.

strike was the result of a two hour
conference at the white house between
President Wilson and Congressional

the Brotherhoods of Trainmen and
Conductors. The agreement not only
averted. temporarily at least. the
strike which threatened to tie up rail-
road traffic generally in the east. but
smoothed out differences OF opinion
that have arisen in both houses as to
the composition of the board of medi-
alton and provided a permanent com
mission TO deal with railroad disputes.
The pathway was cleared for
prompt action in both houses. Sen

Peace Onlv
TOCOneOn
The Field

LONDON. July 14.-That the Bal
kan struggle viii end by a process
OF mutual exhaustion seems the only
hope Sir Edward Grey. the British
foreign secretary Is able to hold out.
in a statement in the house OF COM
mons tonight. he said that mere
words were not likely TO affect the
situation and IL would be most diff
cult for the European powers to re-
sort To force to impose peace.
Neither Servia nor Greece has paid
any attention TO Russias proposal
that they cease hostilities. They ap-
pear determined to negotiate peace
with Bulgaria only on the field with
out Intervention by any third party.
and unless Bulgaria proves amenable.
II Is believed that an advance will he
made upon Sofia To enforce accept
ancc of the Serb Greek terms.
Serious fighting for the time being
Is suspended. but the advance of the
Turkish and Roumanian troops con
unues without opposition. A Bel
grade report says the Servians on
sunday captured an important posi-
tion eight miles west of Kustendi.
Secret Treaty.
According TO the Athens correspond
ent OF the Daily Telegraph. Greece
and Servia signed a secret treaty last
May. binding them 10 prosecute a war,
which was then foreseen. with Bulga-
ria until the Bulgars acquiesced in
the territorial arrangements laid down
in the treaty. BY these arrangements
the eastern boundaries OF Greece
would be extended to the Mesta river.
considerably TO the east OF Drama.
and Servia would have access to the
Aegean Sea at two points.
