Washington, July Although
being scientists-they scorned the su-
perstition, some Of Uncle Sans best
weather sharps curiously enough
marked down today's brand Of wealth
er for reference during the next two
score days.
This Is ST. Swithin's Day Ancient
English legends have it that if it rains
today there will be forty days Of rain
to follow, and that If 1t remains clear,
there will follow forty days of clear
weather. There was a st. Swithin all
right, back in the days Of long ago
and the legend is older than the hills,
That seems to be as far as It goes,
for one Of the ruthlessly unromantic
weather bureau sharps today looked
up the dope for the same day for
twenty years back, and had this to
say:
ST. swithin falls Id month in
which more rain falls here in Wash
ington than during any other period Of
the year Nevertheless, the records
show that, taking the average for
twenty years, OF the forty days which
follow July Is. the greater part were
rainy when St. swithin's Day was a
fine old day There never have been
forty consecutive days of rain or clear
weather following st. swithin's Day

MULHALL
MAY GET
GRILLINC
Former Lobbyist Nears End Of His
Story Before Senate Committee
Request to Cross Exami-
nation Considered
TeIeEram By unIted rreaa


Washington, July l5.-With the end
Of MulhaPs story Of lobbying in sight,
the senate lobby committee today pre-.
pared to consider the request Of attor-
neys for the A, S. and l.. and n. A. N.
that they be permitted to cross-ex-
anime him.
II the committee is willing, the wilt
ness will be griled for at least fort
night Mulhall today continued the
Identification Of papers already made
public
Col Mulhall continud Monday his
remarkable story before the senate
lobby investigation committee, Null
hall was on the stand for six hours
In that time nearly 900 letters, tel
egrams and scraps Of memoranda
were identified by him with hardly
more than a glance. He remembered
apparently the first names Of mem
bers Of congress, OF lesser politicians,
Of labor leaders and underlings, Of sec
fetarles to congressman and all the
men he had worked with through a
year OF most active campaigning In
many parts Of the country. His per
formance seemed SO remarkable to
lawyers present that they sat all
through a long day intently watching
the witness and listening to the tales
closely and every word that the wit
ness uttered in the brief examination
that accompanied some OF them.
The senate committee devoted Mon
day largely to reading into the record
the tale Of Mulhall's political actiyi-
ties. There was an occasional refer
ence to strikes in which the lobbyist
had figured and an allusion now and
then to the inside workings Of labor
unions, but for the most part it was
story Of politics as Mulhall played
the game,
Mulhall's correspondence told Of the
Efforts 70 re-elect former Congress
man Llttlefield of Maine and defeal
the present representative from that
district, Daniel j. McGillicuddy. Lit
tlefeld was to be supported by the
National Manufacturers association
because of his stand against labor leg
islation. Mulhall said on cross-exam
nation that he had been told that $50,
600 was spent in that campaign
4 Mulhall's letters went into detail
concerning the campaign he made il
Maryland to beat former Congressman
Pearre Of Cumberland. Pearre wal
the author Of an injunction bill'' an,
Mulhall and other agents went out t.
get his political scalp.
Just before the committee ad
iourned the letters began to show Mul
halls activities after the resignation
Of Marshal Cushing the secretary 0
the National Manufacturers associa
ton, with whom he had corresponds,
so long
Gushing resigned" Mulhall dc
clared, because he said no self-rc
specting politician could report o.
lobby work
Mulhall said Cushing sent his resil
nation in the spring Of 1907 to tn
late James w. Vaneleave, the pres
dent of the association, who wante
full reports of all his work. The con
mittee read several letters from Mu
hall to Vaneleave in which the 'lol
byist" showed that he did not car
so much for Gushing after the seer
tary left the association.

In the basement dining-room of
Old Maria's, down In West 21s
st. One couple was dancin
Fifty or sixty people were sittin-
at tables, tucking away the soup
course of an Italian table d'hote.
The man who was dancing was,
apparently, about 70 years of
age. He wore white goatee,
spectacles and a look of complete
happiness. His partner was, per-
haps, 40 or SO years younger
than he was. She also looked
happy. Everybody looked happy.
1t is the custom to look happy
at the dinners of the Ragged Edge
club.

What to hinder?
For instance, foursomes. These
came late in the evening, when
verybody was right jolly. One Of
ese terpsichorean oddities in
-luded two men and two girls, all
gripped together and whirling
madly around the floor, while an
other was made up of one very
popular young lady and three
"athaletic gents"
The dancing begins as soon as
the hors d'oevres have been Crap
pied with, and there is a dance
after each course of the dinner.
The old gentleman previously
mentioned didn't skip one. He
may have missed some of the
Neapolitan nourishment, but he
and the piano-player ran neck
and neck from post to wire,
every time.
Then there was "the profess
sor''-that's what they called
him, when they yelled for him
to do something.
A solid, stolid, Russian-Look-
ing individual he was, in a cleri-
cal-looking suit of black and
sporting thick-lensed glasses.
Without a smile, he folded his
arms, squatted down and did a
queer frog dance up and down
the room, which evoked great
applause. The applause seemed
to bore the professor and he lost
himself under the lee of Marie
Dresslerian lady at a table.
The Ragged Edgers do what
they feel like doing, at, the time
they feel like doing it. One OF
them, who wore a gorgeous
plumed hat and stunning black
gown, took care of plate OF
spaghetti and a cigaret at the
same time, inhaling them alter
nate1y and keeping both hands
busy in most graceful manner.
There was another lady-oh, q
VERY big lady!--evidently an
ex-opera singer, who sang what
the piano-player was playing,
whenever she happened to know
it, in which event it was difficult
to hear the piano.

that he isn't a fit person to take

NEW YORK, Aug. 12.-
Friends of Governor Su1zer today
say he will ignore the right of the
special session of the legislature
to impeach him that II the resolu-
tions prov tding for his impeach-
ment pass he will continue to is
sue orders. II the resolutions are
adopted Lieut.. Governor Glynn
will become acting governor auto
matically. The state faces the
probability of two governors.
Denunciation of Governor
Sulzer and Tammany Hall
was voiced editorially today
by the World. 1.-The Sulzer scam
dal," the World says, "is no less
an exposure of Sulzer than it Is of
Tammany. 1t is the most con-
vincing object lesson of govern
ment by blackmail that New York
has ever known. Sulzer is not
destroyed because he pocketed
campaign contributions and failed
to make an accounting as the law
demands, but because the money
waFtpsed to conduct Wall street
ope stions.
Those are the traditional prac-
tices of Tammany candidates. The
bosses are expected to pocket as
much of the campaign fund as
they can safely do. Tammany has
exhibited Sulzer to public shame
only because he broke with the or
ganization and refused to take
further orders from Boss Mur-
ply"
The editorial concludes by say
ing that "the Sulzer scandal ought
not only to drive Sulzer from the
governorship, but also ought to
destroy Tammany."
The state constitution provides
that the lieutenant governor be-
comes acting governor automatic
ally. II the impeachment resolu-
tion passes he will act in that ca
pacity until the end of the trial.
II the governor is vindicated he
will resume office; if ousted,
Glynn will fill out Sulzer's term.
A bitter fight is expected to fol-
low when the resolution will be
brought to vote probably this aft
ernoon.
