strated more clearly than ever that
there was no foundation for the
charge Mulhall originally made that
Senator Nelson was "easily reached
and influenced" to favor legislation in
the interest of the National Associa.
tion of Manufacturers.
On cross-examination Mulhall admit
ted that the only basis for his state
ment was the adverse report Senator
Nelson drafted on the bill to amend
the Sherman antitrust law.
Did you have any other ground for
your statement that Senator Nelson
was 'friendly?'" asked Senator Reed.
"None whatever" said Mulhall. Let
ters introduced showed that Mulhall
interviewed Minnesota members Of
the house in 1909. 1t appears that he
called upon Representatives Volstead,
Stevens, Hammond and SteenersOn in
reference to the establishment of a
tariff commission.
All but Mr.. Steenerson said they
were opposed to the tariff commission
idea. II found it was no use to waste
my time on Mr.. Volstead,' said the
Mulhall letter of Jan. 30, 1909.
Says Emery Was lobbyist
Mulhall swore that he drew $500
from Baltimore bank to be paid
to former Representative James Wat.
son. Mulhall swore that Watson had
| made the office of James A. Emery his
headquarters after he was defeated
for governor of Indiana in 1908. En-.

lobbyist for the manufacturers.
February IL Mulhall wrote Schwedt

mittee.
"Mr. Watson stated that he would
see that that committee was fixed up
as we'll as it was possible to fix it, or
in other words, just the way we want.

AT the Wisconsin Experiment Sta
tion it has been found that the large

rem IN his book on Farm Management
IN commenting on the above says: THE
large animals of any breed are much
more economical of labor and barn
room and usually give as much or more

Having been four years an attendant
at All Souls Unitarian Church in this

rush of closing hours of his administra-
ton, when he had many engagements to
keep. much business to attend to and
many farewells to say. found time to say
goodbye to the congregation there.
Rev. DR.. L. G.. +. Pierce, pastor of the
church. omitted the customary Sunday
morning sermon and substituted for ii
his farewell remarks to the President
during the course OF which he declared
that the joy which the church found in
having the President worship there dur
ing the last four years came not from a
desire to capitalize the publicity but
from having with them one who was not
ashamed OF the gospel
IF there is one thing in the world
which is to be admired he said. 1T is
unpretendns loyalty. I admire the man
who stands b. mis- colors'
Many Greet the President.
The knowledge that the President
would be present at the church brought
out u large crowd. the greater part of
craned their necks at every angle to get
a glimpse of the retiring President. The
crowd cheered when the President APP
peared. and he acknowledged the tribute
by nodding and raising his hat
All Souls Camp of Boy Scouts acted as
guard of honor to the President, and
ON leaving the church he hesitated at his
automobile and babe them also a fare
well.
In addition to the pastor Senator
Fletcher of Florida. chairman of the
board of trustees. made a farewell adj
dress for the officials and congregation of
the church. Prof. y. W. Spanhoofd, pres
ident of the Unitarian Club, presented to
the congregation, as IA gift of the club, an
etching of President Taft
Every one present seemed to be touched
by the solemnity of the occasion When

him to the pulpit amid complete silence.

this respect being all that could be de-

And now. my friends, / am going to
leave YOU. ! leave you at a time in the
history of tbs church when you are Just
about TO take most important step. to
enlarge Your usefulness, 20 add to the ma
tional standing of this particular church
IN this capital of our nation. 1 think it
is an excellent thing to move and to build
new and beautiful structure and to
unite with it a parish house bearing the
name of Edward Everett Hale l believe
that that cannot but call national atten-
ton to the church as an important infiu-
ence i'll national life, and give 1t broader
relation to that life.
''One OF the things that i have noticed
about this church has been the excellence
Of the Sunday school. 1 suppose we are
constantly running in life across the
things that we would like ourselves to
have enjoyed as a mark OF the progress
since We We're children. but 1t seems to
me that If 1 could have had the benefit
of the thorough education in biblical
