[From The Tribune Bureau. ]

Washington, July l5.-After two days Of
what Chairman Glass calls earnest dis
cusson" the Democrats of the House
Banking and Currency Committee agreed
to-day on a substitute for Section 20 Of
the currency bill, which provides for the
gradual retirement of the government 2

That covering a period o, twenty years,
there shall be permissible retirement

change for 3 per cent bonds which will
not have the circulation privilege
The per cent bonds will not be de-
prived of their circulation privileges. as
was at first intended. The privilege OF
issuing notes against these bonds will be
extended 10 the banks as long as bonds
may be obtained for the purpose Section
IS of the bill. which contained n pro-
hibition in this regard. will be eliminated
At the expiration OF twenty years after
the passage OF the bill every holder OF
the 2 per cent bonds thea outstanding Is
10 receive payment al par and accrued
interest. This is an entirely new scheme
for the protection OF the holders OF such
bonds. which recently have been selling
below par.
Newly organized banks are not required
to purchase a given amount Of govern
ment bonds in order to begin business. as
required under existing law.
The vote of the Democrats OF the
House committee was not unanimous and
the revision Of Section 20 was ordered only
after long and heated debate. Chairman
Glass acknowledged this in a formal
statement, I'm which he said:
Upon a test vote it was decided BY n
large majority that the bin should con-
tain a bond refunding provision. where
upon the committee proceeded 10 perfect
section 70 OF the printed bill 20 as TO pro-
vide for the permissible retirement OF 8
per cent OF outstanding per cent gov

government per cent bonds. At the eX-
piration OF twenty years from The passage
of the act every holder OF United states

celve payment at par and accrued inter

Federation Of Labor Suggested.

Three times Mulhall suggested that l

had no interest in them except as they
would form the basis for a revelation
of inside politics.
"OnCe Mulhall suggested that we could
make a huge fortune by selling the let
ters to their writer's. He may have been
Joking in this proposition. l do not
know. At any rate ! treated il with the
silence it deserved. AT that time he
asked me what | thought the National
Association Of Manufacturers would pay
if il could secure these letters. I replied
that ! had no idea. He asked me If
thought they would pay sl5O,000. / re-
piled that that was as good a figure to
guess at as any other, my sense OF
numor being reached by that time.
"It may have been that little conversa-
tion, which was purely jocular. I natu-
rally assumed, which 'Munchausen' Null
hall referred to as my proposal to black
mail the officers of the National AssOcia-
tion Of Manufacturers.
"Mulhall's s other aspersion is that | am
a tipster I never sold a tip in my life.
in this instance I wrote half the Mulhall
story as it appeared in The World and
was paid by that paper to initiate its
staff into the intrcacies Of the letters
and TO instruct its man, Seibold. in their
handling. If l were tipster The
World would have paid me tip"

Vaudeville Engagement.

One reason for the break in the rela-
tions between Colonel Muhall and Barry.
after the completion Of arrangements for
the publication of the letters according
to Barry, was dissatisfaction on the part
Of Colonel Mulhall with the failure Of
Mr.. Barry TO live up 10 a certain alleged
oral understanding This had to do with
the engagement Of Colonel Mulhall 20
appear in vaudeville for one or two
weeks. at a salary OF $1,000 to tell Of the
alleged lobby"
Il heard" Mr.. Barry said, that the
colonel took seriously a testing remark
made 10 him when he said he did not
know what he would do after the dis
closures were made. 7 told him IL ought
TO be no trick at all 10 get him chance
to do a turn on some vaudeville circuit
! remember he said then that he could
sing in Latin and thought he ought to do
well on the stage. for he had been trained
for it and had a good voice. lie seems
to have taken the whole thing seriously
1t goes TO show the character OF the man.

over his documents in his house In Bal

He started a year ago, so he told me
to try to sell his letters. At first he want

Some one directed him 10 Mr. Hearst

where I got in touch with him, being re-
quested to examine his material for the
editor of 'Hearst's Magazine

by the foreclosure of a mortgage, and
that he had spent all his money in caring

WANT HAYDEN OUT Of
WHITE SLAVE" CASE
CaIifOrnianS Object to His Sc
lection to Prosecute the
DiggS-Caminetti Trial.
[From The Tribune Bureau. J

Washington, July l5.-Strong opposition
to Thomas T. Hayden as prosecuting Of
ficer in the Diggs- Caminetu white
slave" case I'm California has been ex-
pressed in Washington. the protests
charging that he is friendly TO the Diggs
and Caminetti families and is too young
a case.
Senator Ashurst Of Arizona. fled a for
NAL protest with the Attorney General
to-day and asserted that he spoke for a
large number Of prominent California cit
liens who believed that the ends of JUS
tice would not be served by the retention
Of young Hayden. He believes he said.
that any miscarriage OF justice would re-
fleet seriously on the administration. as
Californans were much aroused over the
scandal.
one reason that Senator Ashurst pre-
sented the protest for the Californiaus. IL
is understood. IS that the California Sem
ators are Republicans. and 1t was thought
that a Democratic Senator would have
more influence with the administration.
The California Senators. however. have
also received protests against the selec-
ton Of Mr. Hayden and may make rep
resentations later.
II was admitted by Senator Ashurst
that one OF the protestants against Mr..
Hayden was state Senator j. B. Sanford.
Of California. He would not give the
names Of any other persons opposed TO
the young lawyer but said general dis
satisfaction was indicated.
Attorney General McReynolds has re-
cclvcd numerous other complaints against
allowing Mr. Hayden 90 conduct the pros
ecution. II has not developed who rec
commended Mr. Hayden. There IS no
White House statement on the subject
vet. out the matter will probably reach
the President, who is anxious 20 see a
vigorous prosecution Of the noted case.

Mr. Parry was president Of tho Ma
tional Association of Manufacturers dur
ing the years that Mulhall and his friend
Marshall Gushing had been engaged M
buying union leaders and helping friendly
members OF Congress and lighting un-
friendly legislators. This was from 1903
10 1907 when Cushing was secretary OF
the association. yet Mulhall said he had
never met Mr. Parry until he was sent
TO Indiana TO help in the Watson cam
palgn Tho witness explained that this
was due to the secrecy with which Mr.
Gushing worked
"IIe never kept books of the moneys
he expended" Muhall said. 'and even
did not keep list OF Dames. We all had
numbers. Mr.. Sherman was No. s. Mr..
Littlehcld was No. 10. | was No H."
Mulhal put In evidence a letter re-
ceived last week from Dr. Crockett. OF
Maine, the person who, Mulhall said. re-
ceived $500 for IAN anti-Gompers speech.
In this letter DIR. Crockett referred 10

that Mulhall had made all his letters

When Colonel NJ. NJ. Mulhall told the
Senate lobby" committee on Monday
that he tried to give away his documents
relating TO the alleged lobbying done by
the National Association of Manufactur-
ers "as a service to the public but was
prevented from doing so by falling into
the hands of Richard Barry, whom he
described as a newspaper tipster, who
Induced him to sell them. his statements
were not borne out by the facts accord
ing TO Mr.. Barry.
More than that, Mr.. Barry so far dis
agrees with Colonel Mulhalls statements
of his entire dealings with him that last
night he said, he would welcome sub
ppna by the Senate committee in order
10 tell what he knows of Colonel Mulhail
and his dealings.
AS a result of Colonel Mulhalls tes-
timony Mr.. Barry who now has a suit
pending against the colonel TO compel him
10 pay 5000 as half of the price THE

said contained the fundamental points of
any testimony he might give in Washing-
ton.

that he had tried TO give his letters away
i'm support of which the colonel introduced
before the Senate committee letter
dated May 10 and addressed to Perriton

Mr. Barry said:
Il know positively that Colonel Mulhall
would never have given the letters tor
publication TO any one without price
but If Mr. Hearst would have agreed 10
take him into his employ as a polltlcai
worker for an indefinite period he might
have been willing to let the letters go IN
return. Otherwise he would not have
parted with them.
He repeatedly demanded Of Hearst
Magazine triiing sums for the time taken
up with representatives of the magazine
An going over his papers. He made such
demands even after he had signed the
|. contract for the use of the letters in The
World.
Mr.. Barry said Of his own dealings with
Mulhall:
