In Discussing Lobbyist,
Who May Be Called in
House Inquiry To-day

Washington, Aug. 6.-Congressional
investigation of Martin NJ. Mulhalrs
story of his lobbying activities for the
National Association of Manufacturers
took on dual aspect yesterday, when
the special House committee began
grinding on the thousands OF letters al
ready introduced before the Senate com
mittee, and prepared to cross-examine
Mulhall on his claims of influence with
various representatives The first part
Of the day was taken up with prelimi-
nary testimony by Louis Seibold, cores
pondent OF the New York World.
The Senate committee, having finished
with Mulhall, began hearing some of the
men referred to in his correspondence
Former Senator Foraker was the first
and chief witness Of the session, and he
generally denied Mulhalrs claims OF in
fluence with him.
EX-SENATOR Foraker, on taking the
stand, explained his connection with the
sale of the Union Pacific 10 reorganza-
ton committee in 1897, which was
brought into the lobby investigation by
David Lamar. Lamar testified that For
aker, through influence in Washington,
took a leading part in the deal at La
mars solicitation.
Foraker testified that at the time of
reorganization the Union Pacific owed
the United States S30000U00, and one
proposal was that the government re-
ceive only part of that sum. Foraker
swore he did not figure in the case ex-
cept in an effort to see that the govern
ment got the whole sum. He had known
Mulhall since 1883, when he lForakerl
was candidate for governor of Ohio.
He did not know how active Mulhall was
in his behalf in that campaign.
II don't remember that / ever asked
him to work for me and | don't know
that | asked him not to, he said.
The senator denied that he ever fa-
vored legislation wanted by the N. T. NJ,
or that he talked with Mulhall about
legislation in Washington. He frequent
ly talked to men in the capitol, however,
in those days about legislation.
Before we got so good as we are
now" he said, Il thought il was all
right to answer questions. OF course,
never had any idea that these converse
tons were to be made the basis of re-
ports by some lobbyist"
Foraker fatty denied Mulhal's testi
mony OF conference at which many
leading Republicans opposed 10 the nom
nation of Taft gathered at Foraker's
house to discuss plans for concerted OPP
position.
"No such conference was held at my
house or elsewhere" said he.
When the House inquiry got under
way Seibold, who prepared the Mulhall
exposures for the World, identified pub
lished statements and otherwise laid
for the cross-examination OF
Mulhall. He told the committee that 400 |
or 500 new letters had been discovered |
within the last two or three days, in
which Representative Fairchild of New |
York was mentioned

The Official.

Pick him up suddenly. Lift him on high
Slam him down hard, with kick on the
sly,
Get him alone on some dark, stormy
night;
Tie both his hands, then compel him to
fight.
Danish all sympathy far from your
breast.
He's just an official who's doing his best.
Proudly we babe him farewell as he
went
Forth to assist in this great govern
ment;
Then the bouquets round his pathway
were thick;
Later each hand CROPPED around for a
brick.
Loudly the call to attack still ascends,
Hes Just an official He doesn't need
friends"
The public ofttimes like a mischievous
boy
The figure it fashions will seek to de-
stroy.
II sets mp hero on high and aloof,
Then makes him a target for every
reproof;
And it sounds the refrain with a pitiless
roar,
He's just an official. Wen find plenty

Washington, Aug 6.--Suits to recov-
er 100000 in federal oleomargarine

borne yesterday said he would request

sis of tax for uncolored oleomargar-

AFTER EVIDENCE.
Mr. McAdoo Seeking 1t Against New
York Banks.

Washington, Aug. 6.--Secretary Me-
Adoo is conducting quiet investigation
to obtain evidence to sustain his charge
that the recent sharp decline of United
States two per cent bonds was due al
most wholly to what appears to be a
campaign waged with every indication of
concerted action on the part of num-
Der of influential New York city banks
to cause apprehension and uneasiness
about these bonds, in order to help them
in their efforts to defeat the currency
bill"
A defense of New York banks against
Secretary McAdoo's charge was made in
the house yesterday by Representative
Levy who introduced resolution calling
for list of transfers of bonds since
July |. An immediate action was pre-
vented by objections by Representative
Mann, Foster and others.
A resolution to have the senate bank
ing committee investigate the same
charges was introduced by Senator Will
liam Alden Smith of Michigan but it was
not taken up.

BISHOP ATTACKS SOCIALISM.
Urges X. of c. to Stand for Evolution,
Not Revolution.

Boston, Aug. 6.-Bishop Anderson, in
the name of the Boston Archdiocese and
Cardinal 0'Connell, extended a cordial
welcome yesterday to 22l delegates from
all parts of North America to the thirty
first national convention of the Knights
of Columbus, assembled in the Cathedral
of the Holy Cross.
The Bishop praised President Wilson
for taking a firm stand against the
forces of disorganization in the coun-
try and called upon the knights to ally
themselves with the force of law and
order, working earnestly and effectively
for the betterment of conditions through
evolution, not revolution.
Pointing to events of recent years in
Europe and the social unrest both there
and in this country, Bishop Anderson
declared that lack of organization among
Catholics had been the weakness which
enabled the forces opposed to religion to
secure control of countries essentially
Catholic. He declared the soeialistic doc
trines which force men to a pagan view
of life and an effort to secure all the
worldly wealth possible.

President
FORCE HUERTA'S
RESIGNATION
To Be Replaced by a Com
promise Candidate Argee-
able to All Factions

Washington, Aug. 6.-No announce
ment of policy will be made or further
steps taken by President Wilson in the
Mexican situation until former Govern
or John Lind of Minnesota, personal rep
resentative of the president, arrives in
Mexico City and famlliarizes himself
with conditions there. This was made
clear at the White House yesterday.
Mr.. Lind carries instructions to talk in
formally with prominent Mexicans. Adj
ministration officials indicated that no
steps toward a mediation policy would
be attempted until after Mr.. Lind had
sounded out sentiment in Mexico and
determined whether the assistance of
the United States in adjusting the dis
pute would be received
Mr.. Lind will inform inquirers on
the authority of President Wilson that
only the government constitutionally set
up will be recognized by the United
States. This will involve the resigna-
ton of Provisional President Huerta in
favor of the provisional president Sc
lected by the Mexican factions, the new
president to be first appointed minister
of foreign relations in conformity with
the law of succession in Mexico. 1t was
pointed out in administration circles
yesterday that while Mr.. Lind's position
now is that of adviser to the American
embassy he will act in reality as an un-
official ambassador to be named ambas-
sador when stable government is or
ganized and recognition is extended by
the United States. Just what part Mr..
Lind will take in peace negotiations is
not made clear here, but there is every
reason to believe that he will merely
represent the views of the American
government to those who consult him
and will not directly interfere with the
progress of events unless the Washing
ton government finally decides to medi-
ate the dispute.
President Wilson has been unoffieially
informed of the support Of Republicans
of the House in his Mexican programme
so long as non-partisan attitude is
maintained. Assurances to the president
were conveyed from Republican Leader
Mann. At both ends of the capitol there
have been informal agreements to keep
the Mexican question out of politics.

favor of the Giants. This preserves Mar
guards list of consecutive victories and
gives him chance to go out and trim
this young Boehling's mark for the sea-
son. Chances are that Marquard will get
away with the record.
Brattleboro came through on Thursday
and chased the jinx that has been haunt
ing their representatives in the Twin
State league ever since the forenoon OF
the Fourth of July. From that date
the West River team had been unable
to register a single victory, many games
going against them by close scores. For
weeks the Brattleboro management have
used every available means to strength
en- their team and to-day they present
about the most formidable aggregation
they have assembled this season. In
their efforts to break the losing streak
breckenridge, the well known college
coach, was dismissed from service, which
in the minds of many was poor move.
Maddox, the former Pirate pitcher, is
managing the Wichita club in the
Western league.
George Moriarty is putting up fairly
good games for Detroit. Many say Mo-

Notre Dame college is said to have
more graduates in baseball than any
other college in the United States. Their
most recent recruit TO fast company is
Lathrop, a pitcher. Lathrop stands six
feet three inches and weighs 100 pounds.
He is expected to make good with the
White Sox.
Jim Thorpe must be developing into
baseball player, or else Johnny Mc6raw
would have either canned or farmed him
out. New York correspondents who fol-
low the Giants have it that he is fast
developing into a brilliant outfelder. In
the spring, notwithstanding the fact
that he is the greatest all-round ath-
lete in the world, he failed to show
promising signs, and almost everyone
predicted that he would never make a
major league ball player. He received
tryout as pitcher at first and then
was showed onto first base, but at both
he was wanting Now he is slated for
an outfielder.
The sale of pitcher North of the Jack
son club of the South Michigan league
and Reynolds of the Topeka club to the
Detroit Tigers, has been announced. Both
are good pitchers. North is expected to
report next month, but Reynolds prob
ably will not come around until next
spring.
Joe Tinker is beginning to complain
about the present condition of his last
way station. He has tried out several
men at the position, but none are what
he is looking for. Joe is looking for

1t is rumored that the management of

association is after Bob" Smith, to re-
join their fold. Smith lost another
game for Keene in the Twin State
league. The game was on Friday
against Northampton, going IL rounds.
1t is said that Frank Chance and
Jimmy Callahan do not speak as they

Emergency Appropriation for Dread

Washington, Aug. 6.--An emergency
appropriation sufficiently large to begin
immediate construction of three addi-
tional battleships of the dreadnought
type was asked for in resolution in
troduced yesterday by Representative
Britten, Republican. OF Illinois. The
resolution declares in a preamble that
the administration apparently has been
unable to cope with the unsettled condi
ton of affairs in American relations
with Japan and Mexico and that it il
imperative TO begin immediate construc-
ton of additional battleships to prepare

Hitchcock Creates Stir By

HOKE SMITH
SILENCES OWEN
Democrats Make Progress
In Consideration of
Tariff Measure.

Washington, Aug. 6.-The Senate
Democrats succeeded yesterday for the
first time in speeding the consideration
of the tariff bill, making considerable
progress in the metal schedule.
The chief opposition eentered in the
rates on automobiles, which remained,
however, as the committee fixed them, at
Is per cent on cars valued at 81 900 or
less, 80 per cent. on cars over 81 900 and
under 81 800, As per cent, on cars valued
at 81 500 and over and 80 per cent. on
automobile parts.
Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, Dem
ocrat, stirred up the currency question
on the floor yesterday by declaring him
self strongly opposed to comprehensive
currency legislation at this session of
congress. He said the American people
were entitled to an opportunity to be-
come acquainted with the pending bill
before it was passed. The speech caused
much comment.
His remarks were prompted by the
fact that he was called on to present a
mittee of Sarpy county, Neb., urgently
demanding currency legislation at this
session. He said it was one of the few
urgent demands of this sort that had
come to him, and in presenting it he de-
sired to say he did not agree with its
authors.
Senator Owen, chairman of the Senate
banking and currency committee, started
to reply to Hitchcock, but was taken off
his feet by Senator Hoke Smith, who
said il was not the time for a currency
debate-that the tariff bill should be
pressed, and he demanded the regular
order. Smiths action was widely re-
garded as indicating strong Democratic
opposition to currency legislation.
administration senators de-
clared there would be legislation this
session.
Senator Owen, however, succeeded in
getting the floor later in the day, after
Senator Salisbury had made tariff
speech, and replied to Hitchcock. 1t
cropped ont that the efforts of the
president to press currency legislation
have caused much resentment toward
the administration on the part of some
of the Democratic senators.

ELoPED TO MONTPELIER.
Rutland County Couple Enacted the
Scenes of Fiction Romance.

Rutland, Aug 6.-The announcement
yesterday of the marriage on Saturday
in Montpelier of Miss Neda NJ. jerks. IL
years old daughter of Mrs. Julia Libby
of East Pittsford, to Merrill Shewell,
son of III. i. Shewell of the same town,
by Rev. G. f. Wright, goes towards con-
firming a romantic tale of an early
morning elopement by automobile, in
which the young people were said to be
the principals, that has since furnished
the East Pittsfordites one of the most
interesting topics of conversation which
they have had in some time. Mrs. jerks
did not confirm the story of the elope-
ment, neither did she deny it, but, ac
cording to the neghbors, the getaway
was nicely accomplished, with all of the
thrilling window exits that so dearly APP
peal to Cupid's matrimonially inclined
victims of near-sweet sixteen. Mr..
Shewell is very young, guessed to be of
about the brides age.
The favorite version of the leaving has
it that some time early Saturday morn
ing--very early--the brideto be left her
room in the second story of her mothers
house, via the window, taking her more
necessary garments with her. Her route
to the ground included piazza roof and
ladder Once down, she is said to have
been met by the prospective bridegroom,
who was at hand with an automobile
which he had with foresight ordered
from this city. There the clue "petered
out" until the receiving by the anxious
mother of the marriage announcement
from the couple.
Rumor also has it that a very disap-
pointed swain of Mendon is manfully en-
deavoring TO recover from the news of
his rivals success in very brief court
ship, young Shewell having been in Men
don only few weeks.
