Washington, July 12.-Under sub
poenas to appear at the same hour
before two separate congressional
committees in session at distant ends
of the capital Martin M Mulhall who
is testifying as to the alleged lobby
ing" of the National Association of
Manufacturers, today faced puzzl-
ing situation. The tangle was the re-
suit of clash of authority between
the senate and house investigators.
Both committees met at 2 o'clock,
but Mulhall and j. H. McMichael ap-
peared at the senate committee room
and were placed under guard of an
assistant sergeant-at-arms.
Mulhall finally resumed the stand
and took up the identification Of his
letters, which he began at last nights
session.
Mulhall identified more letters
showing his relations with Marshall
Gushing, secretary OF the Associa-
ton Of Manufacturers. He testified
he had an understanding with Cush-
ing that he was to receive $1OO
week and $40 week for expenses
for general field work in Washing
ton.
Mulhall testified further of how
he worked to defeat the late Sena-
tor McComas of Maryland, although
he posed as the senator's friend. He
said he had received 500 letters from
Cushing directed against McComas,
A letter to Senator Foraker Sep
tember 10, 1904, referred to sug-
gestion that Mulhall go to Rhode Is
land to help Senator Aldrich in his
campaign. He testified he went LATER
at the request of A1drich.
'sHe asked me to get in touch with
the tabor men there to get their sup
port"
A letter Of introduction for Harry
C. Kurten was given by the Council
Of Allied Building Trades Of Phiia-
delphia, which was offered in evil
desce. 1t was signed BY Kurten as
secretary. Kurten was engaged, Mul-
hall testified, in the fight against
William Hughes, then republican
and now a senator from New Jersey
aWere you sent to heip beat
Hughes BY the National Association
Of Manufacturers?" asked Mr.. Read
"Yes, sir"
why did they want to beat
Hughes?e
eOn account Of his holding a
union card, being affiliated with the
American Federation Of Labor and
his activity on the floor Of the house
and with the labor leaders in Wash
ington"
Kurten was given credentials, Mul
hall said, SO he could get into union
labor meetings to oppose Hughes.

But this does not mean that
