Foraker Denies Mulhalps Story.
Ex-senator Joseph b. Foraker was the
principal witness to-day before the Sen
ate lobby committee. He appeared 10
deny many of the statements OF Marun
NJ Mulhall. He also explained his con-
nection with the sale of the Union Pa
cifc Railroad to reorganization COM
mittee In 1897. which was brought into
the lobby investigation by David Lamar
Lamar testified that Foraker, through
influence in Washington. took leading
part I'm the deal at Lamar's solicitation
Mr.. Foraker testified that at the time OF

United States $50 0O0. and one proposal
was that the government receive only
part OF that sum. He declared that he
did not figure in the case except in an
effort 10 sec that the government got the

Mr.. Foraker said that he had known
Mulhall since 1883, when the witness was

ed TO defend Mr.. Sherman's memory from
this false assertion.

Mr.. Foraker and identified several
checks which he had received from the
manufa cturers association. Senator Reed
produced two checks. each for 800 made
payable To James +. Watson, and dated
April "a. 1909. Mulhall identified Mr.. Wat
sons Endorsement. although II WAS the
