MULHALL RELATES
WORK IN INDIANA
Says $4,000 Was Raised to
Aid Election of Congress
man Watson

WASHINGTON, July 15.-The senate
lobby investigating committee made
fair progress today in the Martin NJ
Mulha1l correspondence. Mulhall was
in the witness chair and identified sew
eral letters, kilograms and memoranda
put in the record.
Mulhall's 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 Indianap-
oils and up to Cleveland in those few
months. He told or his letters did, OF
his strike breaking activities in ST
Louis of an effort to aid former Con-
81 essman James f. watson of In
diana, politically.
What was the work."
we were to work against any labor
bills that came up"
How about tariff matters?"
Mulhall said the letters would ex-
plain the tariff activities better than
he could and the committee did not
question him further.
December II, 1907, Mullhall received
a letter from President Van Cleave, in
which the latter said:
the former president of the National
Association of Manufacturers, takes
much interest in Indianapolis. He is
very strong for Watson, and I recon-
mend that you call upon him at once
with the letter of Introduction attached
hereto"
Mulhall said he met former Senator
Beveridge. who was opposed to Wat
son. but knew Parry we'll
II saw him throw his arms around
Parry and say he was the man who
sent him to the United States senate,
said the witness.
Senator Reed wanted to know about
money raised to help elect Watson.
Mulhall said that Parry, c. c. Foster
and others raised about $4,000 in three
or four days" and that $4,000 of this
was given to Watson when he COM
municated from Rushville that he was
broke.
The witness thought about $4,000
had been raised in Indiana for the
Watson campaign, and a letter, read
just before adjournment tonight, told
of three millionaires" in the state,
one of whom was willing to spend
100000 to defeat Watson. The letter
did not identify the millionaires and
the committee did not ask who they
