CALLS MULHALL LIAR
FORMER LOBBYIST FOR N. A. M.
DENOUNCED IN SENATE
BY UNDERWOOD.
SAYS HE is "BLACKMAlLE Err"
Majority Leader Of the House Asserts
Man Who Takes Liberty With
Names Of Public Men Should Be
Forced to Prove Charges.

Washington, July 3l.-Representa-
tive. Underwood. Democratic leader Of
the house, appeared before the house
lobby investigation committee on
Tuesday and charged that Col. NJ. NJ.
Mulhall. the lobbyist was a blackmail-
er. The appearance OF Underwood
was an event not on the program. He
came unexpectedly.
At the night session Minority Lead.
er James X. Mann and Speaker Champ
Clark also made most emphatic denials
Of Mulhall's statements that Represen-
tative J. T. McDermott OF Chicago had
offered them the "Mulhall letters" for
use In the house OF representatives,
investigation. Both insisted they
they were sold for publication. They
probably will repeat their denials on
the witness stand next week.
The letters themselves. however,
purported to give much information
alleged to have been furnished Mulhall
the stand to give the lie direct, and at
once. to Mulhall.
II think" replied Chairman Under
wood. that it is In the interest Of the
public that man who has taken liber-
ties with public men as this man haa
should be contradicted.
II regard man Of this kind as a
blackmailer That man has never
been in the ways and means commit
tee room since ! have been chairman
of the committee. He may have had
conversations with me, but when he
says he had an interview | want to
say that statement is lie,"
Mr.. Underwood also said he did net
believe he ever had seen Mulhall be-
fore in his life
AIulhall practically finished his iden-
tifcation OF letters he wrote and re-
ceived in the ten years he claims to
have been the lobbyist for the Nation
al Association OF Manufacturers
Mulhal"s last day as an identifier OF
letters proved the most exciting Of
his two weeks on the stand.
He swore that he had tried to get
Chairman Wilson OF the labor commit
tee interested in the story he Ia now
telling and that Speaker Clark and MI
nority Leader Mann Of the house had
turned down an opportunity to conduct
an investigation of his activities. The
speaker and Mr.. Mann. he said. had
been approached on this subject by
Representative James T. McDermott of
Illinois.
Neither Mr.. McDermott nor any
body else ever showed mo the Mulhall
letters and papers," said Speaker
Clark in a statement.
Neither Mr.. McDermott nor any
body else ever spoke to me about
them. l never knew that Mulhall had
any letters or papers until I saw In a
newspaper that he had sold them to a
New York paper"

new LAW IS AID
TO RURAL SCHOOLS
PROVIDES FOR EXTENSION OF
TEACHERS TRAINING
FACILITIES.
STATE TO PAY FOR TRAINING
Measure Carries an Appropriation OF
$4,000 to Cover the Expenses OF
Special Training Courses in connec-
ton with High Schools.

Madison. In the opinion Of the
state school superintendent the most
important educational measure en-
acted at this session OF the legislature
Is the law which provides that IN
counties where there are now no
country training schools for teachers,
the board In charge of any high school
whose course is equal to that pre-
scented by the state superintendent,
may establish and maintain In con-
nection with the high school train
ing course.
The state in such case Will pay the
expense of teacher to conduct the
training course. A student in any
such high school may take an add,
ton to the regular high school course
as additional three or four units and
be graduated at the end of the four
years, not only as high school stu
dent but as teacher. Any student
taking the training course will find
his or her diploma q certificate good
for FIVE years as teacher in the rural
schools, without further examination.
An appropriation of $4,000 per
year was made to carry out the pro-
visions of the bill. which means that
twenty-five high schools can al once
become training schools for teachers.
Not only will this multiply the num-
Der of teachers for rural school, but
it will greatly improve the qualifica.
ton of such teachers. Students grad
uate from high school at an average
age OF about 10 years. and il they take
the training course it means that the
rural schools will get five years OF
service from professionally trained
teachers, of q higher average age than
those who now serve those schools
