There, he is sticking out his tongue
at me. Make him stop, Mr.. Chairman"
In a hysterical outburst before the
House lobby investigating COMMITTEES
today Col. NJ. NJ. Mulhall, erstwhile
lobbyist for the National Association
of Manufacturers, accused John Kirby,
jr.. president Of that organization, Of
making faces at him. The colonel top
ped off his explosive remarks by. in
yitinp Mr.. Kirby outside" where Null
hall said he would delight In pulling the
nose of the aforesaid Kirby.
The outburst Of the witness threw the
committee hearing into confusion for a
moment or more and Chairman Garrett
bruised his knuckles In demanding
order. II is probable that nothing save
Congressional dignity enabled the
House investigators to keep their faces
straight.
Colonel Mulhall was testifying in
routine fashion regarding his corre-
spondence and his lobbying activities
when his eagle eye fell upon Mr.; Kirby,
who had a seat at the other end Of the
long committee table. To everybody ex-
cept the witness Mr.. Kirby seemed like
the ordinary spectator, and was un-
known to the majority OF persons In
the room. Suddenly Colonel mulnali
Jared up, pointing to Kirby.
Making Faces At Me-"
"Mr. Chairman" he yelled. There's
that man again. He's making faces at
me and sticking out his tongue at me.
1 won't proceed unless you make him
stop.
Hes a dirty coward, and he's come
oyer here to annoy me-
wait a moment, colonel. Order!
loudly demanded Chairman Garrett.
KIRBY tried those tactics on me at
the Senate hearing" continued Colonel
Mulhall, paying no heed to the warning
of the chair. He sat in front of me
and made faces and he was rebuked
BY even his own counsel. I won't stand
for 1t, / tell you. II he'll come out
side I'll pull his nose for him."
Chairman Garrett was still banging
for order, drowning out a portion OF
the irate colonels protest. Mr.. Kirby
was smiling. James A. Emery, general
counsel for the National Association OF
Manufacturers, arose and started to ad-
dress the committee. Committee MEM
bers indicated II wasn't necessary, and
Colonel Mulhall kept up his loud de-
nunciations of Mr.. Kirby.
Mr.. Kirby will observe the pro-

Department Silent on
Sailing of Gunboat

Secrecy surrounds the sailing Of the
gunboat Nashville for Puerto Cortez,
Honduras. While IL is believed the war
ship is on the trail of a vessel seeking
to smuggle arms into Mexico from the
United States in violation OF President
Wilson's embargo, the Navy Depart
ment is silent regarding the movements
of the Nashville. The latter about a
week ago Joined Admiral F1etcher's
squadron at Vera Cruz. At the time II
was stated at the department that the
Nashville would be under the exclusive
direction of the admiral, who had asked
for another ship. of light draft which he
could send into shallow harbors to take
off American refugees.
It is rumored that three or four days
ago a strange vessel put off from one Of
the many islands off British Honduras,
and this fact may prevent any interfer-
ence by the Nashville. The gunboat car
ries a detachment Of marines in case II
becomes necessary for her to land a
force to protect American property.

CURRENCY BILL MAY

Banking Committee.

The question will soon be submitted
squarely to the Senate Banking and
Currency Committee and to the Sem
ate whether there is to be currency
legislation at the special session or
session.
This fact developed in connection with
the hearings before the Senate Banking
and Currency Committee today. A
resolution will soon be introduced in
the Senate by a member of the COM
mittee instructing the committee to
bring in a currency bill December 2.
This resolution will be referred to the
Banking and Currency Committee and 1t
is a close question what will happen

a possibility exists that it will re-
ceive the support Of a majority of
chances would favor its adoption by
the Senate and currency legislation
would be deferred until the regular
session to be taken up as soon as Con-
sress convenes the first Monday in
December.
The adoption by the Senate OF such
a resolution would mean that Congress
would get a two months vacation.
Among those who appeared at the
hearing of the committee today was
Samuel Untermyer, attorney for the
Pujo committee in the Money trust
inquiry.
He has been quoted as saying the
pending bill is unavoidable.
The hearing today began with the re-
appearance of members OF the commit
tee OF seven bankers from the recent
Chicago conference which was ar

Mr.. Wexler went into details in de-

banking system, which he advocates,
would operate in the matter of issue of
notes on the basis of commercial paper.
