WATSON IN DENIAL
OF LOBBY CHARGE
Former Representative Never
Employed by Manufacturers,
He Declares.

Washington, D. C., Sept. 12.-For-
mer Representative Watson of In
diana, before the house lobby commit
tee, today--nIade a general denial of
Mulhalls general charge that he was
one of the active friends of the Nation
al Association of Manufacturers in
congress during many years.
"At no time was l in TIE employ OF
the National Association of Manufac-
turers for any purpose, nor was | at
any time a lobbyist or lawyer for it"
he said.
Watson did work for the National
Tariff Commission association. He de-
clared Mulhalrs charge that he used
his influence to put certain men on
house committees and remove others
was without foundation.
You don't need to cell the sun to
shine any more than you need to tell
Uncle Joe Cannon who to appoint on
committees" Watson said. When ask
ed to give his opinion of a mans fit
ness for a committee position he gave
it, but he went no further. Watson
said he never was interested in any
bills the national manufacturers fay-
ored except the anti-injunction bills,
and the proposed exemption of labor
unions from the operation of the Sher-
man law. He said he held the same
views as the association on these
measures. He explained Mulhall eX-
pected to assist him in his campaign
for governor in 1908, but that he work
ed only a few months, and did not
make his promises good.
There was nothing secret about my
employment by the tariff association, -
said he, 81 was not in congress and
thought | had a right to that employ.
ment. l received $3.50 a week and
expenses and probably retained $500
while | was whip of the house for

He is the John ID. Rockefeller of the

REBEL DECREE ON
TAX is A PUzzLER

Washington, d. c., Sept. Estate
day to interpret the latest decree of
constitutionalist Governor Maytornea
of Sonora as affecting Americans.
Consul Dye of Nogales reported that
Governor Maytornea had ordered an
additional tax to be levied as forced
war subsidy on all capital invested in
Sonora belonging to persons or cor
porations known to be enemies of the
"cause of the constitutionalists." The
governor has also prohibited the ac-
QUESTION of property without his spe-
cial consent.
The consuls report said the Sonora
executive continues to have trouble in
getting mis- fiat money accepted and
he's again decreed that it must be re-
ceived as legal tender by merchants
and business men under penalty of
imprisonment
While officials are somewhat appre-
hensive that the so-called tax on "ene-
mics of the cause" may work hard
ships on Americans, it was doubted
if any one would suffer from the alien
