Probe.

Probe.
Washington, July 19.-S. Wood Nc
Clave, Republican candidate for con-
eress in special election to be held
in the Sixth New Jersey district next
Tuesday, came to Washington and
told the senate lobby investigating

jured himself in his testimony before

WATSON SLATED As PRESIDENT
Indiana Congressman Said to Have Re.
ceived Retainers From National
Manufacturer Assoc lation.

Washington, July Senator
Knute Nelson of Minnesota told the
senatorial Investigators Of the Null
hall charges that references made by
Mulhall involving him in q friendly
intercourse with ,Mulhall were false.
Senator. Nelson's statement was
backed UP by his colleague, Senator
Clapp, whom Mulhall had said in enc
of his letters was present at a con-
ference between himself and Senator
Nelson. .s.
This is the first time Colonel Null
hall has been confronted before the
committee by one of the men he has
brought into the controversy.
Senator Nelson said he had no recol-
lection of ever having met Colonel
Mulhall. Il.
He had no recollection of ever hav-
ing conversed with Colonel Mulhall in
his private Office or having invited
him therein, he said.
With a satisfied smile and q hui.
morous twinkle in his Morse blue eyes
Senator Nelson sat down and smiled
blandly over the committee. Then
Senator Clapp arose. The latter was
even more positive than Senator Mel
son. He denied ever having met Colo
mel Mulhall.
More References to Watson.
Aside from Senator Nelson, Null
halls letters dealt largely with what
the National Association of Manufac.
turers were going. to do for former
Congressman James E. Watson of In
diana toward getting him place in
President Taft's cabinet and of how
the association began work for tar.

arrangement was made, they set a

appealing to Mr.: Kirby and the rest.

The report also shows that the bill
as reported to the senate provides
rates 4.22 per cent lower than the

imports to be admitted free of duty.
Under the house bill the value of free
listed imports was $1o3, 100000. where.
as the Democrats of the senate.in eau

"Your committee reduces the amount
of exemption of net income to $4,000,

additional exemption of $1,000 to eth

living together, but not to both. In
the case of minor child or children
living with and dependent upon the
