examination of Mulhall on his story
that former representative Watson Of

$500 and weekly salary of $3.50 to
work for the passage of the tariff COM
mission bill, with a promise of an ad-
diticnal $4,000 if the bill was success
full, Senator Reed declared himself
against a cross-examination, but pro-
posed that questions be submitted to
the committee. The point was not
finally decided
Mulhall today swore he drew $500
from a Baltimore bank which he paid
to Watson.
Mulhall swore that James A. Emery
was chief lobbyist for the 'manufac-
;urers and that Watson, after he was
defeated for governor of Indiana in
1908, made the office of Emery his
headquarters.
HOPKINS BROUGHT IN.
Senator Hemenway of Indiana, he
declared, occupied rooms next to
Emery and Watson, in one Office or
'oehef, much of the time Feb. A; 1909,
in a letter to Schwedtman, Mulhall
brought in former Senator Hopkins of
Illinois, who was defeated for reelec-
tion by Lorimer. Mulhall wrote of the
senatorial deadlock at Springfield, ILL.,:
:We are spreading the impression that
on account of the contemplate stand
taken by Hopkins in the convention
in Chicago last June, wherein he was
extremely unfair to the manufacturing
interests, in refusing them a hearing
before the committee on resolutions,
and packing the committee in favor of
the Gompers crowd, has in a large
measure brought this fight upon his
own shoulders"

man about the house judiciary commit
tee: Watson stated he would see that
the committee was fixed up as well
as possible to fix it, or in other words,
just the way we wanted it." said the
letter. In a letter Feb. IT .Mulhall
wrote Schwedtman about the activi-
ties Of Cannon, Watson, Sherman,
Crane and others to pass a bill to
make Senator Knox eligible to the
Taft cabinet.

Massachusetts, Haugen of Iowa, Muir.
dock of Kansas and Morse, Nelson and
Lenroot of Wisconsin, said to have
been marked for defeat by Former
Speaker Cannon and Former Repre-
sentative Watson, was offered in evi.
dence by Mulhall. In a letter March
II, 1909, Mulhall wrote Schwedtman
to the effect that Watson said these
people always had been against any
thing we ever wanted since he has
been member of the house" A dozen
names of other congressman marked
for war" and which had been in.
