Committee Starts Off With
Another Disagreement
About Examination.
LAWYERS ATTEMPT
TO BREAK STORY
Members of Investigating Body Will
do Best to Strengthen Witness Sto-
nv Of His Political Activities in
Washington-Many Questions.

Washington. Aug. 1.-The senate
lobby committee started out again
with another disagreement about the
cross examination Of Martin NJ Null
hall. After the executive session. the
committee decided that attorneys for
the National Association of Manufac-
turers shall have an additional two
hours to examine witnesses. The
committee will put the questions. The
lawyers began direct inquiry into
the National Council for Industrial
Defense. Mulhall previously testified
that he was collector for that or
ga anization. and they told him 1t had
900 for lobby work. He stuck to his
story that the organization was solely
a paper one. in which few officials
of the manufacturers association be-
came mem bers
The lawyers worried Mulhall by
asking him about the blacklist of con-
gresham put in the record two weeks
the names of the republicans alleged
to have been put on the list by the
republican whip Of the house.
Many Questions to be Asked.
Members Of the committee will at
tempt to strengthen Mulhall's story
of his political activities in Washing
ton and throughout the country, while
the attorneys will do their hest to
break it down. Questions by the law
yers under the committees rule will
be filtered to the witness through it's
chairman. Robert McCarter. counsel
for the association, has about $50
questions he wishes to ask the wit
ness. Attorney jackson H. Ralston,
for the Federation Of Labor has pre-
pared about 100 more. and no one
knows how many separate queries
men mbers Of the committee will sub
NIT to Mulhall before he is allowed
to quit the witness stand in the senate
wing OF the capitol and face the spe-
cial house committee that is eagerly
waiting his appearance across the
rotunda.
Kept Interest in AfTairs.
Mulhall told during the day that
he left the National Association Of
Manufacturers late in 1912, but let
| ters Of 1912 and 1919 showed hin,
still about Washington interested in
the makeup Of committees and In
egislation. He apparently was lobby
ing on his own hook and other letters
showed an evident desire to get back
with his old employers although he
did not admit that he wished to Sc
cure his old berth.
One Of the last letters put In the
record was dated May 26. 1913. and
| addressed to former Representative
James F. Watson Of Indianapolis
whom Mulhall has frequently men
toned in terms far from fiattering
during the inquiry. In this letter Null
hall asked Watson to interest himself
with D. NJ. Paryr. former president
Of the association in his behalf. II
was only few days later that the
senate committee started its lobby in
vestigation and that he began to me-
gotiate for the disposal of his cor
respondence.
After he left the organization Null
hall wrote letters indicating an inten-
ton to fight James A. Emery. Wash

culation up to the forty per cent limit
Is expected to help in restoring the
parity Of the depressed twos by Gre
ating a new market for them.
For the first time in history, the
government will accept prime COM
mercial paper as security for deposits
This privilege will be. announced the
secretary. in order.to make these spec
ial deposits available to banks on Sc
curities readily within their reach.
To Ciearinkhouse First,
- ''The commercial paper submit
passed upon .andgapproxed by the
clearinghouse, cpmmittes Of the cities
in which the .banlfS Offering such pa
per may be located. All commercial
paper and bonds rrfnst finally he passed
upon and accepted by the secretary"
Approved commercial paper will be
accepted as security for the deposits
at sixty per cent Of It's, face value and
high class state. municipal and other
bonds. exclusive Of government bonds
at seventy five per, cent.
Deposits at Convenient Places.
The additional deposits will be pIac-
ed with the national banks in the two
or three principal cities in each Of the
|
progress and where the demand for
money for moving. the crops most con-
veniently can be met. The secretary
said it would not be practicable to
scatter the deposits among the smaller
cities. especially in view Of the char
acter of securities necessary.
The banks Will be required to re-
turn the money to the public treasury
when the crops have been moved. The
present suggestion is. Mr.. McAdoo
said. that fifteen per cent he repaid
in December; thirty per cent in Jan
uary: thirty per cent In February, and
] twenty five per cent in March next.
| "Steps are now being taken to car
$50 that the funds may be promptly
available for the movement of the
crops"
The names Of the banks to receive
the deposits and other details Of the
arrangement will be announced later
This new policy is the antithesis
Of that dopted by former Secretary
Of the Treasury MacVeagh. who year
ago declined to make government de-
posits to relieve the tight money mar
ket on the ground that the moderate
surplus federal funds at that time
should be held as reservoir to be
utilized at some possible critical stage
With the net balance in the general
100000. Secretary McAdoo has taken
the stand that the government should
anticipate the situation by placing de-

Steel Spike and Strip Of Tin in Cell
i of Notorious Prisoner

Boston. Mass, Aug. IA steel
spike and a strip of tin were found
in the cell Of Jesse Pomeroy in the
Charlestown prison. They are taken
as evidence Of another effort at es-
cape on the part Of the man-now 50
years Of age-who has been pris-
oner since 1876. when he was convict
ed at the age Of 16 of numbering a
boy and girl. after a long series Of
atrocious assaults on boys.
Pomeroy's attempts at escape have
been almost numberless. They have
taken almost every. conceivable form
and the fact that for many years the
man has been in solitary confinemsSt
has had only the effect Of making his
attempts come at longer intervals.

Charlestown in 1892, when number
Of prisoners made their escape. Pom
eroy begged piteously to be allowed
