Gompers Refused
Lobbyists Bribe
Mullhall Tells How Effort
Was Made
Senate Investigation Discloses Many
Devious Deals Made by Manufac-
turers to Control Legislation

Col. Martin NJ. Mulhall's testimony
before the United States Senate inves-
tigating committee continues to grow
in interest as he reveals his work for
ten years as expert lobbyist and Off
cial bribe-giver for the National Asso-
citation of Manufacturers. Covering
the strenuous period of 1907 and 1908,
Mulhall told the committee that an
attempt to bribe Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Federation
of Labor. actually had been made, but
he said Atherton Brownell of New
York had outlined the plans to him
and had told him of what was to be
done.
Brownell told Mulhall that man
named Brandenburg was following
Gompers: that they had plan fixed
up by which they expected to get"
the labor leader. Mulhall said he
warned them they would not succeed
and later advised Van Cleave to the
same effect.

Association of Manufacturers were

The letters were stored in strong
room in the basement of the public Of

was hired to watch them during the
day and sleep with them at night
These letters will form the basis ol
the House lobby probe.
Mulhall testified that during slack
times" he was commissioned by the
National Association of Manufactur
ers to go about stirring up strife within
the ranks of organized labor, and that
he had an unlimited expense account
for this work.

 Phoenix, Ariz.. Aug. 24, 1913. Editor of Arizona Republican:
 Sir: In reading your article re- garding the manufacture of cement by our local concern in which a statement is made of opposition from certain architects to use the new product.
 I desire to have it clearly under stood that I am not in that class. and as an architect I am interested in giving my clients the benefit of my experience in selecting the best the market affords in building material and my investigation of the Arizona cement was such, that long before the results of the official tests were made public, I was convinced that the product was what it was repre-

PHEbY |S FOR
 LOCAL CEMENT
Architect of Phoenix Wants to Go on Record as Heart fly Convinced There is No Superior to Arizona Port land Cement

Just as expected. the story of Ari zona Portland cement in The Repub- Hcan yesterday morning drew fire. The charge was made that certain architects of Phoenix were refusing to specify the local product in build ings to be erected in Phoenix or vii cinity on the grounds that the new article had not been given a good try-out and that they intended to call for the use only of such cement as had been on the market for d long time and whose quality was un- questioned.
 Then, too, it was claimed that these same architects had announced that chemists tests didn't carry any par ticular weight with them. As a mat ter of fact the manufacturers of Arizona Portland cement. local men investing local capital and therefore worthy the support of local archi tects, are ready to prove and have proven that there is no cement on the market anywhere today superior to the local product. This is shown in various tests, chemical and other wise that have been made and are being made eight or nine times every day.
 If there is a plant in the country where moro careful attention is given to the manufacture of cement and where the chemist is more constantly CT. the alert to detect possible error, the management of the Arizona Port

for local patronage, and to bear in mind that when they or the officials of our public institutions have some thing architectural to be undertaken there are as capable men in Phoenix as elsewhere.
 And now that we have a cement plant in operation let us turn our attention to other branches of trade I have one in mind in the building lire, an Arizona asbestos roofing. We have the raw material. why not pro- dUce the manufactured article? Sure ly there is demand enough to warrant the venture.

ern railroad received an inquiry from
the Southern Pacific offices in san
Francisco, if the Nevada Northern
could handle high-elass excursion
train of ten heavy coaches, from Co
bre TO Ely and return. AS the Me-
vada Northern can handle anything
in the line of a train that the South
ern Pacific, can handle. word was re-
turned TO San Francisco to that ef-
feet. No further information was
forthcoming as to the nature OF the
excursion or when it might head in
this part of the state, but the suppo-
position Is that 1t is the contemplat-

SIGNS INDICATE
POTASH DEPOSIT
ENCOURAGING SIGNS THAT DE-
VELOPMENT WORK IN RAIL
ROAD VALLEY WILL SOON PRO-
DUCE SOUGHT FOR RESULTS.

Reports from an authentic source
and of highly encouraging nature
were received in Ely the past week,
concerning the outlook for potash in
Railroad valley. In fact, the reports
are the most encouraging of any yet
received as a prediction of the ulti-
mate success of the explorations be-
ing made that are confidently believ-
ed will lead to big strike of potash
of commercial value.
Recently. very satisfactory expert
ments have been made with a rotary
drill, with which rapid progress has
been made, the hole being deepened
at the rate of from 20 feet to 80 feet
per hour, in proven potash contact.
This is indicated by the crystal for
nation encountered by the drill, and
considered a never-failing sign of
the presence of potash. The presence
of the crystal is looked upon as the
most favorable indication of any yet
manifested that the sought for pot
ash is close at hand The drill has
penetrated 12S feet of the crystal,
and was still bottomed in it at last
reports.
Operations by the Railroad Valley
company have been temporarily sus-
pended on account of the intense
heat, and to permit officers to attend

The exploration for potash in Rail-

would be of inestimable Importance
to the Ely district in particular, and
other contingent localities in gen.
eral. In this connection it has been
predicted that should the potash in
dustry develop to the magnitude that
the promoters expect it will, rail
road into that section of the state
would be a necessity, and that Ely
is the logical point from which the
rail transportation would be ex-
tended.

LONG TRIP TO WIN.
STAKES OF $1,000.
AMATEUR AUTOIST MUST MAKE
NEW YORK FROM FRISCO IN
THIRTY DAYS AND DO ALL
REPAIRS.

To show that he is a good sport
and willing to try anything once. c.
II. Smith of the Portola theater, San
Francisco, Is on his way across the
continent, in an effort to win a bunch
of money aggregating about $500.
Mr.. Smith Is accompanied by his
wife, and passenger in the person of
II. +. Hilton, who goes along to see
that the terms of the wager are COM
piled with. The trio, travelling in a
Locomobile 6 of 20 horse power. ar
rived in Ely, Monday. and left as
soon as they could on the run TO
New York. The total distance to be
travelled is about 1000 miles. They
plan to strike Ely again on the re-
turn trip. in about two months.
Smith is not an experienced ehauf-
feur and before starting out to win
the seventy-fve hundred. although
he had owned automobiles. he had
never driven one to any extent and
his experience was principally con-
fined TO riding in them and letting
some one else do the steering and
repair work.
But 1t came to pass that he got into
an argument with one ID. Hallahan,
of the Market street theater. in Sau
Francisco. and owing perhaps to the
brew of gasoline they may have been
imbibing, Smith was feeling in a
self-confident mood, and made the
statement that he could drive car
from Frisco to Los Angeles and
thence to New York in thirty
days and do all his own repairing.
Hailahan wanted TO be shown and
produced five thousand dollars that
said Smith couldn't do the. trick
ASmith covered the bet and Eddie
Carney was named as stakeholder
Next, the amateur transcontinental
tourist devoted a couple of days TO
seeing Locomobile dissected and
put together again. and then lit out
for the far east.
The bet. of course. attracted at
tention. and the Miller tire manu-
facturers got into the game, putting
up another five thousand and back
ing a set of Miller tires. If the stunt
is accomplished according to terms.
Smith is to get half the proceeds.
Smith has leeway to purchase all
the parts he may need, but the re-
pairs have to be made and the new
parts adjusted by himself and such
assistance as his wife can give him.
Hilton as referee. can stand around
and watch proceedings, but can not
do so much as grunt in a way that
could be taken as rendering assis-
tance.
Smith was in good spirits on ar
rival at Ely, and was feeling sure
that he could win out. For the most
part he had found the roads good.
and was looking forward to reeling
of 400 miles day in the eastern
states.

in the district court. Bail was plac-

the road lay over an abandoned rail-
road grade and the sand and alkali
dust, five or six inches deep, was
thrown in the faces of the tourists by
their own cars.
Despite the fact that the road was
the worst of any the tourists had en-
countered and resulted in the party
becoming separated, when it is con-
sidered that one year ago there was
not even a trail a wagon could fol-
low, 1t seems remarkable that it was
possible to make the trip in such a
short time. 4. l.. Westgard laid out
the route for the Midland Trail last
year, and it took ten days to go from
Grand Junction to Salt Lake City.
The Indiana tourists made 1t in three
days, and Mr.. Westgard said that he

out last year, and praised the work
of the men who had done such heroic
work in road building.
