mittee of Enormous
Collections.
IS NOT ASKED TO
PROVIDE DETAILS
Former Speaker Of House,
Joe Cannon, is Implicat-
ed in Testimony.

Washington, D. c., July ia fund
of 100000 to 100000 raised by the
National Council for Industrial De-
fepse-an adjunct of the National As
sociation Of Manufacturers - for op-
posing legislation that the manufac.
turers did not favor was discovered
today to the senate lobby committee
by Martin M. Mulhall. Mulhall testi-
fed he had no personal knowledge OF
the existence of such a fund, but de-
clared that q collector for the organ
ization had recently given those fig
-ures to the New York World.
II often have thought and have sug-
gested," said Mulhall, that the coun-
Gil ought to be Investigated by tha
postoffice department. II it were In
vestigated, I feel that the gentlemen
who run 1t will have a hard time ac-
counting for the money collected"
+ The committee did not question
Mulhall further on the subject.
Mulhall swore that money had been
paid to him from the fund for politi-
cal purposes, but did not explain what
the purposes were.
The association wanted Miles and
Schwedtman on it and wanted to con-
troll It themselves" Mulhull testified.
He did not explain who Miles was.
Schwedtman was secretary to Presi-
dent vancleve Of the association.
James A. Emery. counsel for the
manufacturers, wrote Mulhull on Jan.
16, -190s:
Doubtless you know we had tus-
ale on the floor OF the house last Sat
llrday. where m attempt N9as made by
the democrats under cover Of an
amendment to conspiracy provision
OF the revised statutes to enact some
Of the worst features Of the extreme
legislation now before the judiciary
committee. Our friends stood. firm
and the attempt to make campaign
plunder was squelched in the most ad-
mirable way and, very happily. q demo-
crat, ,Swager Sherley Of Kentucky,
took the chief part in the defense Of
the existing law and against the pro-
posed amendment" ~~

Another letter from Mulhull, writ

to Schwedtman at st. Louis, reported
how "Mr Watson had g large ma

New York, July 16.-The new phase
OF the arbitration proceedings between
eastern railroads and their trainmen
and conductors, namely, whether the
roads will insist on presenting their
grievances against the men while the
latter argue for higher pay, was the
subject of discussion today between
the conference committee OF railroad
managers and representatives of the
union. The meeting was called at
the request Of President Lee OF the
Brotherhood OF Railroad Trainmen,
and President Garretson, Of the Order
Of Railway Conductors.
Since agreeing to arbitration under
the Newlands act, the labor leaders
have been scrutinizing the railroads
letter yielding to arbitration and they
are worried lest the words submit to
arbitration all questions" contain
something In the nature Of Joker. To
determine, II possible, just how broad
a hearing the roads expect, they asked
for today's conference.
The Erie railroad had not today
withdrawn its refusal to be a party to
arbitration.
Messrs. Lee and Garretson today In.
sisted that the Erie must abide by the
findings Of the court Of arbitration.
During the entire negotiations from
January to July !, at which time a
strike vote was canvassed," says their
statement, no intimation was given
to us that the Erie was not dealing In
good faith. The Erie men, therefore
are justified in their contention that
r n{oN a wi }c ~
ltration on other roads, must also ap.
| ply to the Erie.
'The committee OF both conductors
and trainmen for the Erie say that
they are now In session In New York
and will insist on the inclusion Of the
Erie in the proceedings. Unless the
railroad agrees to arbitrate, q strike
on the Erie system might be ordered.

100 Years Ago Today

One hundred years ago today Commo-
dore David Porter, of the United States
frigate Essex. while cruising about in
search of British prizes, took possession
in the name of the United States of an
island in the South Sea, called by the
natives -Nooaheevah," generally called
Sir Henry Martins island, and which he
named 8ladison's Island. in honor Of
James Madison, then president Of the
United States. Commodore Porter was
one of the naval heroes OF the civil war.
one of the naval heroes o the civil war.
His ship, the Essex, after winning
many victories, was later attacked near
Valparaiso by two British warships, and,
after a long and desperate resistance,
was captured.

said Jay Turley, engineering expert
for New Mexico in the boundary dis
pute now being heard here. The last
time I was here was to attend the
National Irrigation congress in 190f

has made the modern FL PasO what
il is"
Mr.. TurIey is at the head OF the
Turley Irrigation company IN the san

He says the the san Juan river is
capable Of irrigating 10o,0 900 acres OF
land by diversion methods. but de-
clares that If the entire flow of the
river is impomGed. 100000 acres
can be irrigated. THE principal

the lack of transportation We haze

eept by narrow gage railroad up

food. as well as to give them proper
bathing and other care
The possibilities of a continuation
school in home making and the curr1-
culum of such schools were considered
by the conference upon this subject
held by the association This con-
ference was based upon the tact that
the ma jOrity of children leave school
under I6 years of age, thus having
considerable period Of time before
marriage. The opinion prevails that
school boards should create continue
ton schools or classes IN home max
ing at which Young men and women
may secure free instruction IN nome
making.
The boys should be taught the ele-
ments of house planning. sanitation,
eugenics. contagion disinfection. the
repairing of the home and its furnish
ings and other subjects coming under
the province of the father OF a family
The girls should receive instruction
in all matters pertaining to house
wifery, as we'll as in complete sclen-
tific methods of caring for young
children This Instruction should be
largely given in night schools as most
of these young people must work dur
ing the day.
Much of the interest in infant NOR
tality prevention is due to the trained
nurses OF the country. A section de-
voted to nursing and social work con-
sidered the standards to be required
for nurses specializing in infant wei
fare work. The visiting nurses OF
towns and cities as we'll as those IN
charge of milk stations and similar
institutions, frequently have a greater
influence upon the infant health Of
the community than the physicians
The demand for nurses specializing IN
infant welfare work is increasing. and
the trained nurses of the country are
anxious that there should be a desig-
mated standard Of efficiency in this
branch of their profession

Dinner
BY GEORGE FITCH.
Author of cat Good Old SiUosh-s

~ INNER is the process of laying in
enough fuel to keep the human
machine steamed up until supper
or breakfast, as the case may be.
In some layers of society dinner comes
after breakfast; in others before. Some
people eat dinner in evening clothes and
spend the night digesting it; others eat
dinner in their shirt sleeves and 90 back
to work at one o'clock after a pipe in
the shade
In fact, the great Chinese wall of
society lies between people who dine at
night and those who eat dinner at noon.
Dining at night is more fun than eating
dinner at noon, but it is also more
dangerous. All the expensive watering
places in the world are full of people
who are getting cured of the effects OF
eating dinner at night. There are few
more delightful processes than that of
acquiring digestion in this manner.
Dinner varies from a duty to cere-
mOny. a dinner that is duty can be
shoveled down in ten minutes if both
elbows are proPped securely on the table
and the eaters knife does not slip at a
critical point and cut off his features.
a dinner that is a ceremony lasts from
