A western millionaire of the newly

only two days, for one of the links

whole hotel upside down in the search,
but it was not discovered. But he
would not give up the search.
One evening week later, while CIV

TO BE HARD ON MULHALL.
House Committee to Go Deeper Into
Story of Lobbyist.

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE senate
examination of Martin NJ. Mulhall, ex-
lobbyist for the National Associacticn
of Manufacturers, and his grilling will
be transferred early next week to the
house end of the capital. Chairman
Garrett of the house committee an
nounced that the cross examination
of Mulhall by his committee would be-
gin Tuesday or Wednesday.
The house investigation, it is be-
lieved, will produce more bitterness
even than lGls characterized the SEN
ate investigation which has been de-
voted largely to the routine reading
of letters in which reference was
made to Mulhal's alleged relations
with members of congress. The SEN
ate comcmittee released Mulhall today
after only a brief examination by at
torneys for the manufacturers and
with but little cross examination from
the committee.
Chairman Garrett and his associates
of the house side propose to begin
with a searching examination of the
witness. The letters will be identified
in bulk as they were presented to
the senate committee and Mulhall will
then be put upon direct examination
as to his alleged activities in legisla'
tive matters and elections.
HE will first take up his charges
affecting members Of the present
house." Chairman Garrett said, then

congresses and to employees of con-

WOE BROUGHT MOTHER FOX
Tragic Moments for Vixen After She
Had Carried Poisoned Food to
Her Litter.

On one Of the large estates in Hing.
ham, few weeks ago, a fox was found
to be destroying poultry. The time OF
the raids, and their boldness, were
proof enough that the fox must be a
female with young. Poisoned meat
was prepared for her, and at once the
raids ceased. A few days later one OF
the workmen of the estate came upon
the den of fox, at the mouth of
which lay dead whole litter of young
ones. They had been poisoned. The
mother had not eaten the doctored
food herself, but had carried it home
to her family. They must have died
in the burrow, for it was evident from
the signs that she had dragged them
out into the fresh air to revive them,
and deposited them gently on the
sand by the hole. Then in her per-
plexity she had brought various It'd
bits of mouse and bird and rabbit and
placed at their noses to tempt them
to wake up out of their strange sleep
and eat as hungry children ought to
eat Who knows how long she watch
ed beside the still forms, and what
her emotions we're? She must have
left the neighborhood soon after, how
ever, for no one has seen her since
about the estate.-Dallas Lore Sharp

ARE OPPOSED TO
PANAMA POLICY
LIBERALS OF NICARAGUA DO NOT
WANT UNITED STATES PRO.
TEcToRATE.
ADVOCATED BY WILSON AND BRYAN
Senators to Fight Move as Innovation
Central Republic Willing to Turn
Canal Rights over to America, Its
Representative Says.

Washington, Aug. 2.-Opposition in
the senate to the plan of President
Wilson and Secretary Bryan for an
American protectorate over Nicaragua
has received strong support from rep
resentatives of the liberal party in
that republic.
When the senate committee on for
eign relations takes up the new treaty
again tomorrow it will be with the
knowledge that a strong element in
Nicaragua is adverse to yielding any
vestige of sovereignty to the United
States.
Protests against the treaty are be-
ing made in Washington by General
Francisco Altshul, representative of
the Nicaraguan liberalists. He con-
tends that many of his people do not
favor the idea of the protectorate, al
though they are willing to make a
treaty to give the United States the
proposed perpetual canal building
rights over the Nicacraguan route.
A preliminary draft of the treaty is
now before the, senate committee and
will be considered at a meeting to-
morrow. Senators Borah, Clark OF
Arkansas, Williams, and others who
will oppose the plan, base their objec'
tons upon the claim that a pro-
tectorate over any Central American
country would be radical departure
from the settled foreign policy, of the
United States. u. 49,!
