CAMPAIGN OF JUDGE JENKINS
Former Lobbyist Gives House Commit
tee Letters Showing His Activ.
ity in Superior District.

Ire operations of Martin Mulhall,
gresham John j. Jenkins of the SD
perior district, are related in letters
placed in evidence before the house
committee at Washington which is
making an investigation into the
charge of President Wilson that an
"insidious lobby was organized to
defeat the pending tariff bill.
According to these letters Colonel
Mulhall was active in behalf OF Rep
resentative Jenkins in 1908, visiting
Duluth and Superior and other points
in Wisconsin and Minnesota and con-
ferring with political leaders and bust
ness men supposed to be interested.
Colonel Mulhall reported to James
A. Emery of Washington, counsel for
the National Manufacturers asso-
citation, on June "a, 1908, that Judge
Jenkins needed financial aid.
Writing to F. w. slovenian of
st. Louis, an officer of the same asso-
citation on the same date, Mulhall
said that he had conferred with Odin
Perrin and Joseph B. Cotton.
Colonel Mulhall expressed the opin-
ion that he had got these gentlemen
going and encouraged them to open
up an aggressive fight in the Eleventh
Wisconsin district"
1t was brought out in this CORE
spondence that James S. Sherman,
later elected vice president, was in
terested in the election of Judge
jenkins and that he gave the latter
financial assistance.
Colonel Mulhall, according to one
letter, met H. G. McRae and the late
Colonel Henry Casson of Wisconsin
in Minneapolis by appointment to dis
cuss ways and means to further the
Jenkins campaign.
Colonel Casson was induced to take
an interest in the matter by Mr.
Sherman, according to the Mulhall let
ter. McRae was chairman of Judge
Jenkins campaign committee.
Later, according to Colonel Null
hall, the brewer went to the aid Of
Judge Jenkins.

COLONEL S. F. CODY KILLED
Aviator and Passenger Meet Death
When Machine Falls.

Aldershot, Eng, Aug. 8.-Colonel S.
F. Cody, one of the best known avia-
tors in England, and a passenger
named Evans we're killed when Cody's
monoplane turned turtle near here
and buried both men under it when it
crashed to earth.
Cody's neck was broken in the fall.
His sons, Leon and Frank, were eye
witnesses of the accident, which was
attributed by experts to faulty con-
struction, the body of the craft prov
ing too heavy for the wings.
Cody was an American by birth, but
became g. naturalized Englishman sew
eral years ago.
Evans was a member of the Indian
civil service who had obtained leave
of absence to come to England to
study aviation.

Senate May Not Act on Tariff
Measure Before Sept. 10.
LITTLE PROGRESS SO FAR
Only Four Schedules Taken Up So Far
and Portions of These Have
Been Passed Over.

Washington, Aug. 9.-All predic-
lions of an early passage of the Demo
cratic tariff bill by the senate are
going glimmering.
Majority leaders realize only be-
ginning has been made and the ear
Hest any one now will promise com
pletion of the task is Sept. Is.
Ten days ago when a member OF
the finance committee said he thought
the senate would pass the bill by Aug.
20 there were some who thought it
might be possible, but that date is
less than two weeks away and but
four schedules have been covered
thirty-six paragraphs in these having
been passed over for future consider.
alton.
Now even those who suggest Sept
Is as the date for final action are
guided principally by hopes and do
not share the views of others that 1t
will be a later date before the final
vote.
The death of Senator Johnston OF
Alabama has reduced the Democratic
majority on the bill to one vote, the
Louisiana senators having determined
to vote against it because of the free
sugar provision.
This slender majority has given rise
to hopes in Republican breasts that
they may be able to put through an
amendment to the wool or sugar
schedules.
