this letter Mr.. Underwood turned to
his secretary, who, by the way, is a
handsome young woman. and said

tor Joseph B. Foraker was the princi-
pal witness before the senate lobby

Of the friends Of the Manufacturers
association. in many Of the fights be-
fore the committee Of congress. Lit
tlefield wrote Overman recently from
Switzerland asking for q hearing, de-
nying many Of Mulhall's charges.
Foraker explained his connection
with the sale Of the Union Pacific to
the reorganization committee in 1897
which was brought into the lobby in
vestigation by David Lamar. Lamar
testified that Foraker. through Wash
ington influence, took leading part
in the deal at Lamar's solicitation.
Foraker testified that at the time OF
the reorganization the Union Pacific
owed the United States $4,000, 900
and one proposal was that the gov
ernment was to receive only part Of
that sum. Foraker swore that he did
not figure in the case, except to make
an effort to see the government get
the whole sum.
