hall charges. He denounced as lie the
statement of Mulhall that the National
Association of Manufacturers, through
former Congressman Watson had had
three n.,mbers of Judiciary Committee
removed following the 1903 campaign
Mulhall pictured Watson as grateful to
the association for aid rendered ana
added that Watson had had removed
from the Juiciary Committee three MEM
bers unfriendly to the association.
1T is said that among the members
then appointed to the committee, In
lielr of the three removed, were Con-
gressmen Vreeland and Bannon, said
Mr.. Mann. When lies are told in de.
tail they appear TO have semblance Oh
truth. The fact is that Nreeland never
served on the Judiciary Committee, ana
Bannon was appointed in 1906, yet Null

campaigns"
During the debate on the Cooper
amendment for open hearing OF the
House Lobby Committee. Mr.. Cooper
defended newspapers assailed 1or PRINT
ing. ..outra geous charges against Con-
gressmen." He thought the average
newspapers were fearless and pubic
spirited. Referring to the inclusion of
Congressman Sherley's name In the
Mulhall charges, Mr.. Cooper said the
allegations regarding Mr.. Sherley were
'.as thin as air. and he added that
charges against other certain members
mentioned would be found just as thin.
Urges Fearless Inquiry.
Congressman Henry, chairman of the
Rules Committee, again urged that the
House committee should conduct a
fearless and able investigation.
The Cooper amendment for open hear
ings of the committee was overwhelm-
ingly approved on a viva voce vote.
Minority Leader Mann precipitated
parliamentary row by moving to re-
consider the Levy amendment of Satur-
day, which prohibited the House inves-
tigators from employing counsel. Mr..
Levy had succeeded in striking out the
resolution provision for legal assistance
for the committee. The Mann motion
to reconsider this action brought FRO
tests from Congressman Hay. Levy, and
Austin, and approval from Mr.. Henry.
Mr.. Garner didn't think the motion to
reconsider was in order, and a long
wrangle over parliamentary law ensued.

THE land has now been acquired. and

DISTRICT IS AFTER
$4,000 ALLEY FUND
Commissioners Declare That
Sum Necessary to Change
Willow Tree Alley.

In a report to the Senate District
Committee today the Commissioners
point out that If the original plans Of
converting Willow Tree alley into a
recreation center are to be carried out 1t
will be necessary for Congress to appro-
pirate an additional $4,000 The report
was made in connection with the joint
resolution introduced at the last ses-
sion authorizing the Commissioners to
provide a public recreation center in
Willow Tree alley.
The object of the resolution is to au-
thorize and direct the Commissioners to
expend the balance remaining of the ap-
preparation Of $4,000 for the condemna-
ton of land formerly known as Willow
Tree alley. the most notorious slum dis
trict in the city, and an appropriation Of
s., 900, contained in the 1918 appropriation
act for-the District, for the purpose OF
providing a public recreation center In
the s0llare.

Extra $4,000 Is Needed.

The present balance Of the appropria-
ton for condemning the land is SIG, co.,
and with the additional appropriation
makes a total of $1,000. For recrea-

$50 900 is needed.
Discussing this phase of the subject
the Commissioners say:
when the Commissioners submitted
to Congress in their estimates for the
fiscal year 1912 an item to condemn the
land in the interior of square 534, known
as Willow Tree alley, 1t was their In
tention to develop the interior of this
square as a public recreation center; the
estimated cost submitted with this item
being $l25,OO0, which included an esti.
mate of $1,000 for condemning the land
and $4,000 for constructing the neces-

CONGRESSMAN SAYS
MULHALL BEAT HIM

CUMBERLAND, Nd, July 9.-George
A. Pearre, a lawyer of this city, who
served twelve years in Congress, and
has been prominently mentioned by
Col. NJ. NJ. Mulhall, paid agent, lobby
ist and strike breaker of the National
Association of Manufacturers, as one
OF the men defeated for Congress
through his efforts and those of the as
sociation, says: Il have read carefully
the statement of Colonel Mulhan and
portions of his correspondence printed
in newspapers, and can say that While
the colonel draws on his imagination
for many of his facts. most of them,
as stated by him, are correct and are
corroborated by the documents he pro-
duces.
Colonel Mulhalrs disclosures indub-
itably show that special privilege and
the Republican party walk arm In arm
and that the divorce of this connection
or the defeat of the Republican party
was essential to preservation OF the
peoples rights.
"As early as 1906 it became apparent
that the National Association of N%nu-
facturers, through agents of Colonel
Mulhal, was trying to intimidate meHi
bers of Congress. Between that time
L
shall Gushing, the secretary OF that as
sociation, aplainly indicating to me that
my views on public questions were
disapproved by that association and
that unless l changed those views L
might expect its effective opposition.
By Colonel Mulhan.
Such a threat was repeated to me by
Colonel Mulhall in Washington. and
made specific by his statement that he
would go into my district and defeat
me for denomination and reelection to
Congress. l treated both these threats
with the indifference and contempt
which they deserved and continued to
serve the people who elected me, to the
oest of my judgment and ability.
Colonel Mulhall did come into my
district, the Sixth district into Fred
erick Washington, and AlleTany
counties, and / soon discovered, es-
pecially in the primary fignt for the
nomination and the subsequent fight
for the election in 1908, that unusually
large sums of money were being cx-
pended IN the counties of that district,
especially in Allegany county, to com
Qass my defeat FOR nomination anu
election.
This corruption fund first appeared
in the primary campaign, involving the
control of the State central committee
for Allegany county, IN whlch my
friends lost the committee. This was
the first step to accomplish my defeat
for renomina ton and reelection in 1905
hut in spite of the combination be-
tween my opponents and Mulhall and
his association / again succeeded in Sc
curing the nomination for Congress in

The National Manufacturers Asso-
citation under Colonel Mulhall, however.
continued their efforts to defeat me for

Jority in that campaign.
II have no reason TO believe that my
Democratic opponent of that year.

the aid he was receiving from the Ma
tional Manufacturers Association and
that it and Colonel Mulhall were as
distasteful to him as they were to me

This is now corroborated by the dis

that the National Association of Manu-

IF the Congressional probe COM

this district in 1908, and these gentle
men should not suffer from lapses OF
memory on the witness stand, l have
no doubt that much interesting in
formation can be secured for the pub
lie. throwing much light on the con-
nection between big business and pol

Wants open Sessions.
As soon as the debate on the House
lobby probe opened today Congressman
Cooper renewed his motion that all
meetings of the investigating commit
tee should be open TO the public.
Congressman Fitzgerald, New York
Democrat, hotly declared that one thing
which encouraged the public to be sus-
picious of members Of Congress was
lust such a resolution as Mr.. Cooper
had offered.
mo wonder the public grows suspi-
cfous when We undertake an investiSa-
tton of ourselves and then il is deemed
necessary to order the investigating
committee not TO hold secret sessions.
Such instructions are superfiuous, and
i shall vote against them"
Mr.. Cooper replied that the Senate
committee had only yesterday heard
certain testimony In secret, and he
wasn't 50 sure that the House commit
tee would preserve the open-door policy
unless told to do SO. Mr.. Fitzgerald
came back with a sarcastic suggestion
that gentlemen who were SO afraid OF
their colleagues fought not to associate
with them for fear of contamination"

ANALYZING the situation on Edge
wood Avenue, you start at Five
Points and go out the street. The
first block can hardly be considered
as real estate. On one side the Clarke
corner and Commerce Hall take up an
entire block. On the other side are
heirlooms, property that passes by will
and inheritance, not by real estate
agents. From Pryor to Ivy Streets
all on one side, is the site of an Of
fee building now under construction
by Mr.. Joel Hurt. On the other side
Mr.. Hurt owns all but IS feet. From

now, from equalization Of values.
