MULHALL CHARGES
CAUSE GREAT STIR
LOBBY COMMITTEE TO PROCEED
At ONCE TO INVESTIGATE
RECENT DISCLOSURES.
WANT SEPARATE HEARING
House to BE Heard.-President VIII
son Had No Idea That lnvestiga-
ton Would Take Such Wide Scope
When He Started 1t.
WANT SEPARATE HEARING

Washington. - Investigation OF lob
byists and Hobbies by the Senate will
be reopened with number of promin-
ent Wall Street men as witnesses.
Chairman Overland OF the Lobby Com
mittee decided after talk with Pres
ident Wilson and informal conferences
with his committee assistants, to re-
new activity at once instead of wait
ing until July as he had planned.
Claims of Marin M. Mulhall of Bal
timore, that as lobbyist for the Nat
ional Association of Manufacturers he
had for years maintained close rela-
tions with members of Congress and
financed their campaigns for reflect
ion have SO intensified the feeling in
congressional circles that the Lobby
Committee has determined to proceed
at once and to interrogate all persons
connected with any of the recent lob
by disclosures.
Witnesses include Paul Cravath and
Lewis Cass Ledyard, prominent New
York attorneys, and David Lamar, a
Wall Street financier. The investiga-
ton will center about the charges
made recently by Robert S. Lovett of
the Union Pacific Railroad, that many
New York f1nanciers and lawyers had
been approached over the telephone
by lobbyists and persons represent
ing themselves to be members of Con-
gress.
Until this branch of the inquiry is
disposed of, the committee probably
will not take up the more recent dis
closures of Mr. Mulhall which have
thus far appeared only in newspaper
reproduction of his personal state
ment and facsimiles of letters he
claims to have received, containing
references to the efforts to control
and influence members of Congress.
Mulhall is under subpoena to appear
July 8.
Steps already have been taken by
the committee to get possession OF
the letters and papers Mr.. MulhaH
preserved, bearing upon all alleged
operations as lobbyist.

ASTON D. WATTS
MADE COLLECTOR
CONFIRMED BY THE SENATE
WITHIN FIVE MINUTES AFTER
NOMINATION..
A HARD FIGHT IS ENDED
The Appointment Of the StatesvilIe
Man Has Been Warmly Opposed
Since His Recommendation For the
Place Was Made.

Raleigh.-A special from Washing
ton states that Col. Aston B. Watts,
collector of internal revenue for the
Western district of North Carolina,
this is the new title of the popular
North Caroltnian who represents the
Iredell county in the state senate and
who has been acting during this ses-
sion of congress as clerk of the SEN
ate finance committee, Of which Sena-
tor Simmons is chairman. He was
nominated and confirmed recently.
The nomination of Watts was sent
to the senate and, contrary to the
usual custom of the senate, was con
firmed a few minutes later. When the
news was te1ephoned him at the f.
nance committee room, Mr.. Watts
was incredulous, as the nomination
had not come in with the first batch
of names received from the White
House, but came later.
A large party of North Carolinians
we're in the Office and showered con-
gratulations on Colonel Watts over
the successful issue of the long fight.
They included H. B. Warner, of Lex
ington, P. D. Gold, Capt. S. A. Ashe,
W. w. Leinster, Herbert o. Sink and
C. L. Wight, H. G. Mcqueen, J. o.
Carr and M. J. Corbett the last three
of Wilmington.
When asked what he had to say.
Mr.. Watts replied: 81 have no hard
feelings against anybody and am very
grateful to my friends
Since the recommendation of Watts
was made by Senator Overman and
concurred in by Senator Simmons a
vigorous and relentless effort has been
made to block his nomination. 1t was
reported that E. J. Justice, who is
considering entering the contest for
the United States Senate against Sen
ator Overman, led this fight. Colone.
Watts was charged with being a re-
dictionary and with having defeated
progressive measures in the state leg
stature.

THE SITUATION I'M RESPECT TO
THESE OFFICERS IN STATE
VERY INTERESTING.
MANY CHANGES WERE MADE
Republican Postmasters Have Been
Superseded By Democrats at a
Fairly creditable Rate.-out Of "a
vancancies, go Men Nominated.

Raleigh.-A special from Washing
ton states that since March 4th the
Republican postmasters in North Car
DINA have been superseded by Demo
Gratis at fairly creditable rate:
There were "a offices in the state on
March 4 in which the term of the in
cumbent postmaster had already ex
pired. Men to fill most of these Of
fees had been named by the Taft ad
ministration but by. diligent and con-
sistent effort the Democrats in the
senate has prevented the confirma-
ton Of any of them.
: OF these "a vacancies, figures gath
cred show that so men have been
nominated for postmasters in North
Carolina and that all have been con-
firmed with three exceptions. The
exceptions are w. G. Russell, at Rose
Hill; w. f. Flowers, at Fremont, and
o: K. Holding, at Wake Forest.
Investigations are being made in
all three of these cases to ascertain
the truth of the charges made against
the applicants and combinations will
be forthcoming shortly. In the case
of Holding, especially, there will be
no delay. His reply to the charges
against him, which were forwarded tc
Wake Forest, were received and Sena-
tor Smith, of South Carolina, has
been named as subcommittee to
consider the charges and Holdings
reply. He will make favorable re-
port on the nomination in. a few days
and Holding will be confirmed at the
next meeting of the senate. Russell at
Rose Hill and Flowers at Fremont
will also be confirmed in due time.
o. A. Snipes at Rocky Mount and
Fl S. Harrison at Enfield, the two
postmasters recommended for ap
pointment by Congressman Claude
Kitchin will in all probability be NOM
mated in a few days, the charges
filed against them having been inves
tigated anad found to be groundless.

growth Of the Matthews school is the
fact that it was erected only a few
