IN THE LECTURE FIELD
Says He, Like Secretary Bryan, Has
Fixed Charges to Meet and is Los
ing Money by Delay.

Washington. July 19.-Former Con.
gressman James E. Watson, of Inci
ana, one-time Republican "whip,''
who has come here to appear before
the Senate lobby committee, and an.
! swer the Mulhall statements con.
cerning him, said today he was anx.
ious to take the stand and set fortt
the facts concerning himself.
II can tell the committee in ff,
teen minutes the facts with refer
ence to myself" said Mr.. Watson.
"AIulhalI came to Indiana while
was running for governor and I told
him to do what he could. But he
raised no money for me whatever
The whole thing, so far as l am con-
cerned, can easily be explained to
the committee"
Mr.. Watson said he was losing mo-
ney on the lecture platform by reason
of being detained here. Like Mr..
Bryan, he would like ts get out into
the lecture field ana meet <fiSe-
charges"
Because Colonel MulhaI, confessed
lobbyist and strikebreaker of the Ma
tional Association of Manufacturers,
was on the verge OF a nervous break
down as the result of his ordeal Of
more than a week, the Senate lobby
.probers gave him : a vacation today.
With his story halted for the tis1e be-
ing, the committee took up for consid-
Grafton in executive session the lat
ter's books and accounts Of the Ma
tional Association and those Of the
National Council of Industrial De-
Tense
The committee is in quandary over
the request recently made Of them
that its letters be placed in the rec
orGs the same as the AIulha!l cores
pondencc has been. 1t is estimated
that if this request is granted. fully
five months wouldl be required to get
these exhibits. The N. A. NJ, demands
the correspondence before the COM
mittee. So the committee today
wrestled with the question of making
few selections as general spccI-
mems and sidetracking the rest.

Millionaire Banker, of Long Beach,
Charged With Aiding Delinquency
of Minor Girls.

Los Angeles, CAL, July 1O.-HighIv
sensational stories concerning the al
legged systematic pursuit of young
girls by men of wealth and social
promonence are promised at the trial
OF George H. Bixby here next week.
Blxby, millionaire banker residing
with his family in a palatial home at
Long Beach, is to be tried on an in
dictment charging him with aiding
the delinquency of two minor girls.
Bixby's arrest came as a sequel to
"a police raid on the Jonquil, an apart
ment house which the police declare
was a resort of the worst character,
despite its outward respectable ap-
pearance and the luxury of its inte-
rior furnishings. The place was run
by Mrs. Josie Rosenberg, against.
whom two indictments were returned
on charges of pandering.
The raid on the Jonquil and the ar
rest of Mrs. Rosenberg led to a
weeks inquiry by the grand jury into
allegations that wealthy men had an
organized system of ensnaring young
women and girls for immoral purpos-
es. The Indictment of millionaire
Bixby was the direct result of this in
quiry. The evidence on which the in
dictments were based was furnished
chiefly by Kitty Phillips, a youthful
motion picture actress. and Marie
Brown-Levy, young woman still in
her teens. According 10 the stories
told by the girls, Bixby was known at
the apartments of Mrs. Rosenberg as
the "Black Pearl" He is said to have
been the heaviest spender at the re-
sort, frequently distributing bills of
large denomination among the young
women whom he is said to have met
there by introduction of Mrs. Rosen-
berg.
Though Bixby is sai! to have been
the best known patron of the Jonqull,
il is declared that he was only one of
the large number Of men of wealth
and prominence in society who were
frequent visitors at the place.

tails of massacres, mutlations, anc
a veritable holocaust of rapine anc
murder visited upon inhabitants OF
Seres and the surrounding country
by the Bulgarian troops reached here
today in the form of long statement
from the Austrian consul at Salonika
The officials charge that several
Bulgarian officers-and he gives their
regiment and company-with having
dishonored his wife in the presence of
scores of soldiers and hundreds of the
inhabitants, who were later shot down
and bayonetel.
The Austrian consuls story of the
appalling outrages by Bulgarian SOL
.diers includes in many instances
names of notables burned to death,
c1ucifed, hacked to pieces or ter
ribly mutilated, and left dying. A spe-
cial investigating body sent to Seres
also has reported. The report con-
firms the charges made by the Aus
trian consul.
Toward the evening of the last day
of mur3er, according to the report,
about eighty women and girls were
found hidden in the basement Of a
warehouse by a company of soldiers
led by a lieutenant. 1t IS declared
that after the younger women, some
of them girls of tender age had been
dishorored, the soldiers secured sew
eral barrels of petroleum oil from
nearby storage house, poured it over
the women, locked all exits, and set
fire to the place.
The bodies were found by the in
vestigating committee. Some of the
bodies were headless, others had been
dismembered.
In large public hall, twenty off,
cials and wealthy men OF the town
were herded by the soldiers, who stab
bed them with bayonets and swords,
and then carried them to trench and
|covered them party with earth. Sew
eral of them were alive when cast
into the trench. :0pe! man, terribly
sllashed about the face and body, lived

ands. Property damage through !ires

residences, the committee believes
will reach close to S20,O00,oOO. Much
of this was portable and included
money, jewelry, silverware, and rare
tapestries and metal from the church
I'es that were sacked.

Would Prevent Interlocking Direc-

ly rejected an amendment proposed
by c.. "ressman Bulliley to prohibit
national banks from making loans to

would have prevented sucI. loans,
no matter what the collateral might
