 to j. Adam Bede.

Washington, July 22.-Refreshed by a two-day rest, Martin M Mulhall, former lobbyist for the National Asso ciation of Manufacturers, continued his story before the senate investigat- ing committee.
 A letter from Thomas Gibson, a New York financial writer, from whom David Lamar testified he got informa- tion to base his charge of an $S2 2,000,- GOO forgery on the books of the Union Pacific railroad. was put into the rec ord. Gibson wrote he did not know Lamar, did not now believe there was a forgery, and was sending out re- traction to his subscribers Paul D. Cravath, counsel for the railroad, put in letter from a firm of public ac- countauts, explaining the apparent discrepancies on which Lamar based his sensational charge.
 The late Representative Henry C. Loudenslager of New Jersey, secretary of the Republican congressional com mittee in 1908, seemed to have in- cured the enmity of Mulhall in Octo- Der of that year. Mulhall wrote to Sec retary Schwedtman of the manufactur- CTS:

 From the Mexican capital come re. ports that have turned every engage. ment into a federal victory, and so far the administration has heard ab. solutely nothing, except through the press reports, from the constitutional side of the case.

 lt-Canal Is Main Object.

Washington, July 22.-President Wilson expressed his entire approval of Secretary of State Bryans pro- posed Protectorate policy over Nica- ragua. In his interview with cor respondents he declared that while the plan might be viewed with sus- picion by European powers, this country, 'in the long run,' would have to demonstrate that it did not con- template occupation of Central Amer ica, but desired only to forward it's progress.
 The president. declared that the first principle of the particular pro- tectorate system now before the sen- ate for its approval contemplated ob- taining an option to build trans oceanic canal through Nicaragua. The general scheme, however, constitutes broader policy to all of Central America; one that would enable this country to aid the republics to the south in any national endeaVor with out taking possession.
  spondents that the Nicaraguan protec- torate proposal was not to be taken as an index of a general" policy to be followed throughout Central Amer ica. He said that this country want ed to adopt particular plans best suited to Centra American countries in dealing with them, and he added torcibly that all these plans would be laid before the various countries for their acceptance. If they were not thoroughly acceptable,' he declared, this country would not seek to adopt them.
 The president expressed himself as being highly iA favor of Secretary Bryan's proposal that the Platt amendment, adopted by this country in it's protectorate treaty with Cuba, be inserted in the Nicaraguan treaty.
 The Platt amendment gives this country the power of occupying Cuba il conditions warrant it. The presi- dent denied that the Platt measure had joker concealed in it.

WASHINGTON BELIEVES NEXT TWO WEEKS ARE OF GREAT
 EST IMPORTANCE.
INFORMATION IS GUARDED
New Advices Held With Greatest secrecy-Ambassador Wilson Is Hurried Along-Hard to Ob-
 tain Reliable Data.

Washington, July 22.-Alarming re ports of an approaching crisis in Mex ico have been received here by high government officials. It was stated mon unimpeachable authority that the developments of the coming two weeks will be fraught with tremen- dous importance to the Huerta gov ernment.
 So delicate is the information they contain that an intimation of the ad- vices became known only with the stipulation that it was unofficial and that it should not be represented as being the view of any official of the United States government.
 Fear to Precipitate Crisis.
 Authoritative publication of the na- ture of the advices, it was said, prob ably would precipitate the very crisis the dispatches forecast. The means by which the predicated events were to be brought to pass or what was to follow were not hinted at in the re- ports. The reports so far have found no reflection in military or naval preparations by the United States.
 Meanwhile the administration is marking time on the Mexican prob lem, pending the arrival of Ambassa- dor Wilson from Mexico City, which is expected by Thursday or Friday.
 President Wilson finds himself in the same state of doubt as to actual conditions in the rebellion-torn repub- lie as he did when, in the hope of get ting at the facts, he summoned the American ambassador to the capital.

 Representative Clyde H. Tavenner of the Fourteenth Illinois district has an answer to the statement of former Representative J. Adam Bede of Min nesota, who declared he would give S1,000 to any charitable organization for proof that the National Associa- ton of Manufacturers had spent sin gle dollar to bribe a member of con- gross.
 Tavenner introduced the first resolu- ton that was offered in the present congress to investigate lobbying, his first resolution being introduced month before the N. A. NJ. scandal broke The resolution reported by the rules committee for the house investi- gation was framed largely after the Tavenner resolution.
 MT. Bede's published statement is so worded," said Tavenner, "as to i'm ply his belief that the working meth ods or the N. A. M. were patriotic and deserve no criticism. for one desire to disagree,
 Tt is true that the published evi- dence does not show that the method of the N. A. Nj. in seeking to control legislation was to approach member of congress and say: Here is $1,000 Vote so and so.' That would consti- ute a crime punishable with peni- tentiary sentence. The scheme used by the N A. M. was more artistic and modern. It provided for the obtaining of the same results that would be ob- tained by the more criminal method, without any risk of going to prison.

CHA...CES PLOT
ACAINoT WILSON
Carter Springs Surprise as Fire
mems Conference Reaches
Deadlock by Accusing
the Railroads

New York, Feb. 12-When affairs at
yesterdays conference between repre-
sentatives of the railroad firernen and
the managers of the Eastern roads
had reached a point where the last
word had been said and apparently
nothing remained except for the hre-
men to retire and order a strike, w.
S. Carters speaking for the hremen,
surprised both the railroad officials
and his own followers.
He charged that a political plot to
embarass the Administration of Pres
ident-elect Wilson lay behind the re-
fusal of the railroad managers to ac-
cede to the plan of arbitration pro
posed to them by the f1remen.
The charge created much surprise
in the conference room. Elisha Lee,
Chairman of the Conference Commit
arose to deny it. Carter. ignoring
the denial, went on to say that he did
not purpose to have the railroads
force the firemen into any hostile
move that would embarass the Presi-
dent-e1ect and for that reason, in
stead of calling the general strike he
had threatened. he purposed reappea4-
ing the case to the Government.
Carriers action ayerted the possibiIi-
ties of a strike within the next forty
eight hours, which it was thought by
representatives of both sides at the
conference might be the result of the
agreement to disagree which follow
ed the presentation of the ultimatum
of the men to the railroad managers.
Late yesterday afternoon Chairman
Carter sent a telegram to Judge
Knapp Of the Commerce Court and
to Acting Commissioner of Labor H.
W. Hangar, asking them to come to
New York to intervene, with view
of ascertaining whether or not they
could arrange for mediation between
the disputing representatives OF the
iremen and OF the railroads.
1t was the intention OF Chairman
Carter to ask Commissioner of Labor
Charles P. Neill, who participated in
the last mediation, to come in per-
son. but. as his term expired early in
this month and his reappointment has
not been confirmed by the Senate, it
was necessary to address the telegram
to the acting head Of the department.
The effect of this telegram, accord
ing to Carter, will be to keep the
strike situation hanging by thread
for several days, with power reserved
in his hands to cut the thread at any
moment such action may seem desir-
able.
