RARRY WAS AN AIDE
Watson Feared Brewers

Money More.
fNatfonal News Association)

WASHINGTON, July 18.--In an ef-
fort to prevent the lobby investigation
from causing an enormous waste of
time, the Oyerman senate committee
today assigned clerks to examine the
1913, 900 in the fles of the National AS
ISOLATION of Manufacturers which have
been turned over to the committee to
Gull out the letters which have the
greatest bearing on the inquiry.
The first letter put in the records
today showed that Mulhall wrote to
Chairman Stewart Of the Republican
headquarters at Baltimore in August,
1908, saying he would pay Stewart's
expenses for Sidney E. Mudd in the
latter's campaign.
D. M. Parry was engaged at this
time in lining up the brewers to the
support of James E. Watson for gov
ernor Of Indiana, according to letter
from S. C. Schwedtman, secretary to
President Van Cleave, to Mulhall.
Schwedtman said he was anxious
to get the Wisconsin political situa-
ton in a satisfactory condition. He
was angry because Marshall Gushing,
former secretary of the National AS
sociation of Manufacturers, was con-
stantly opposing the plans of the as
sociation.
Needed Indiana Badly.
"Why doesn't he come straight out
for Bryan and be done with it, asked
Schwedtman. Il am sorry to see that
our Indiana friends are so pessimistic.
We must win in Indiana. That should
be our battle cry, much as it used to
be Pixies Peak or Bust"
Senator Hemenway, Joseph Schopf
of Indiana polls, and other brewers con-
ferred in August.
Il met Mr.. Shelf, and I am positive
we have accomplished all we came
over for. He stated he had seen sew
eral of the leading brewers of Indiana
and Illinois," wrote Mulhall, "and they
wish to work with the Republican or
ganization if they are given a chance
to do so.
Before leaving Indiana Mr. Watson
impressed upon me the Importance of
this piece of work, stating that he
knew the saloon interests of Indiana
would cast 10000 votes against him.
But he was not so much afraid of their
vote as he was of the $250,000 that
they would put into the last part of
the campaign against him.

ASKED SECRET HELP

Watson conspired With Breweries, is
- MulhalI Charge.
WASHINGTON. July IS.-In his tes-
timony before the lobby committee
yesterday Colonel Martin M. Mulhall,
boss lobbyist for the National Asso-
citation Of Manufacturers, struck a
new lead The major part of his tes-
timony, beginning early in the fore
noon and lasting until o'clock, the
quitting time, bore on the Indiana
campaign of 1908.
The versatile and bellgerent colonel
sprang a new sensation and provided
material for a close CrOSs-eXamination
of James f. Watson when the latter
goes on the stand He charged that,
while Mr.. Watson was running for
governor on a county local option plat
form and was bringing all of his elo-
quence to play on the stump in de-
nouncing the rum traffic, he and his
managers We're in secret negotiations
with the brewers, and that several
meetings were held for the purpose
of getting the brewers IN line. Mr.
Watson saying that he was rightfully
entitled to their support because Of
the services he had rendered to the
brewing interests as a member of con-
gress in Washington.
According to Colonel Mulhall, the
late Vice President sherman and for
mer Senator James A. Hemenway we're
go-betweens in trying to get the brew
ers in sympathy with Watson's can
in

President Fairbanks and Speaker Can
non also offered advice on that sub
ject
Says Schaf Conferred.
Colonel Mulhall says that Joseph c.
Schaf, well-known indianapolis brew
er, was the representative of the brew
ers in these negotiations. and numer-
Gus letters were put in evidence to
substantiate the coloners assertion
that every effort was made to pacifv
the brewers and get them to overlook
the county option plank in the plat
form, not only because OF what Mr..
Watson had done for them in Wash
ington," but on account of what he
would be able to do for them in the
future.

CLUB NOTES :;
Department of Health

The subject of public health is more
and more engaging the attention OF
people all over the country, one OF the
potent factors in arousing this fresh
interest in the subject being the Cen
eral Federation of Women's Clubs.
through its Department of Public
Health.
The chairman OF this department
Mrs. S. S. Crockett of Tennessee. was
born III that State. as were her pa
rents. Her father served in the Con
federate army and died shortly after
the war. Her mother conducted a pri-
waite schol for girls near Nashville,
where the daughter received her
schooling, the two aftcrward travelling
together in Europe Mrs Crockett's
husband is a physician, and also pro
lessor OF mental and nervous diseases
in the Vanderbilt University. Mrs
Crockett's interest in health subjects
dates back many years, she having
served as chairman of the health com
mittees both of her own club and OF
the Tennessee Federation In 1910
she became head of the Health De
partmcnt OF the General Federation
to which she has given her constant
attention ever since.
The work is conducted in four divi-
,ions. as follows: Child Hygiene, un-
