Steel added substantially to yesterdays
gain. and Union Pacific. Reading and
other leaders materially increased their
early advantage after some temporary
irregularity on profit taking.
Trading showed some disposition to
slacken. but inquiries for the more ac-

Reasons Advanced for Rise.
For the further rise in stocks today
several plausible reasons were advanced,
among them being the willingness of the
government to finance the crop move
ment. thereby relieving any strain at this
center. and a widespread belief that va
rious underwritings now under way or in
prospect make higher quotations desir-
able.
Whatever the reason. however, which in
the first hour gave promise of million
share session. the market evinced greater
activity and scope than for some time
Steel. Reading and Union Pacific led the
rise. Steel being especially prominent for
the huge blocks that changed hands.
In addition to the leading railroads

Prices paused. taking in their upward
rush when profit taking again set in. The

MULHALL'S DUTIES
DEFINED BY EMERY
Supplied His Chief With Copies
of Bills and Did Other Like
ErrandS.

James A. Emery, chief representative
of the National Association OF Manu-
facturers here. defined to the Senate lob
by committee today the duties OF Martin
NJ. Mulhall, who claimed to be that asso-
ciation's lobbyist.
Mulhall kept me supplied with copies
Of bills and public documents in relation
to>the work here and got information of
the status Of legislation in which we were
interested. In this work he gathered in
formation and learned the views Of mem-
bers of Congress. He made inquiries
about hearings and requested an oppor-
tunity for me to appear said Emery.
Emery denied flatly that Henry Neal
and Harry Parker. two colored employees
at the Capitol were in the pay of the
manufacturers. Mulhall swore that for
almost a year Emery gave him each
month s1OO check. of which $50 was to
go to i. H. McMichael. one time chief
page of the House. and $50 went to Par
ker and Neal. Emery denied he ever
drew such a check. He declared Mulhall
told him he had a friend at the Capitol
who could get the public documents and
bills Later Emery learned the friend
was McMichael

Neal and Parker, merely to pay for
the many courtesies they performed for
our members"
Mulhall for McMichael" asked Attor-
ney McCarter for the manufacturers.
YES" said the witness. 1T never ex-
ceeded $40 q month, and 1t terminated
when I left for Europe in 1910"
The payments were made, he said. for
services in getting bills and documents
and for courtesies.
TOO absurd to contemplate" said
Emery, when asked about the secret
room in the Capitol that Mulhall swore
was furnished to the association by Rep
resentative McDermott OF Illinois.
Emery denied Mulhall's story that
former Representative Jenkins of Wis
consin had promised that II reelected
he would see that man satisfactory
to the manufacturers would go on the
House judiciary committee.
His Opposition to Hughes.
Emery testified his only activity
against Senator Hughes. when a candi-
date for Congress in 1908, was. the dis
manufacturers giving Hughes atti-
tude toward labor" He thought 1t was
mailed under the frank of Representa-
tive Littlefield.

Mulhall today forced a suspension of his

gress, he complained of nausea and dizzi-
ness. and the committee took a two
hours recess, with the understanding
that IL the witness had not sufficiently
recovered when the committee reconvened
