Washington, July 15lThe senate investigating committee today con- t1nued its examination into Martin M. Mulhall's correspondence. Mulhall was in the witness chair and Senator Reed was the inquisitor for most of the five hours. Mulhall identified 40 letters, telegrams and memoranda put in the record by the committee with only bit more hesitancy than he eVinced before, although he was eau toned by Senator Reed to look close ly at the slips handed to him.
 Strike Breaking Activities.
 MulhalTs attention was directed to- day almost exclusively to the last half of the year 1907 and the first part of 1908. He was jumped from Maine to Missouri; from Baltimore to Indiana polls and up to Cleveland in those few months. He told, or his letters did, of his strike activities in St. Louis of an effort to aid politically former Congressman James E. Watson of In diana and of how well he knew for mer Senator beveridge. He gave de- tails of another visit to Maine and of another effort to give political assist ance to former Congressman Little field of that state. He mentioned again former President Taft, the late vice President Sherman, the late James w. Van CleaVe of the National Asso- citation of Manufacturers and other men prominently connected at one time or other with that organization.
