HEARD MULHALL
COMPLAIN THAT
MONEY WAS SHY
Said He Did Well With What
He Had in New Jersey EIeC-
ton, According to Testimony
of Emery.

WASHINGTON. Aug. S.-The in
ternal workings Of the National
Association of Manufacturers we're
explained TO the house lobby commit
tee Thursday by James L. EwelL for
merly manager of a trade publication
issued in connection with the organ
ization. The witness went at great
length into several serious dis
sensions that disturbed the organiza-
ton. and attacked rather bitterly
some of its officials. particularly J. p.
Bird. who. he declared treated him
unfairly in discharging him from the
employ of the association.
Little of Ewell's testimony bore on
the legislative activities Of the asso-
citation. although he did describe two
conversations between Bird and Null
hall, at which he was present.
"On one occasion" he said, Il
knew there was a tremendous fight on
in the district of Rep. Hughes OF
New Jersey. l was talking to Mr..
Bird when Mr.. Mulhall came into the
room. In his characteristic way he
shouted. Well, I could have done
better if had more money. I did not
have enough money. There were
plenty OF democrats over there and I
did not have enough money 10 buy
them. I think I did damn well with
the money I had, don't you ?"
On another occasion Ewell said ne
heard Mulhall demand $4,000 from
Bird for work in Washington" Bird
promised him the money the witness
said.
Ewell told the committee Of the cir
cumstances Of the resignation of Mar
shall Cushing, as secretary Of the Ma
tionai Association of Manufacturers.
He said that Cushing declined to tell
the officers and directors the details
of the expenditure of money in a
campaign to re-elect Rep. Littlefield
of Maine.
He Went the Limit.
They wanted to know just what he
did with the money he had" said
Ewell. He said that he thought il
would not do him or the directors
any good if he told them. He told
me he went the limit to secure Little
fields election. He would not tell the
directors. so he resigned"
Discussing the dismissal of f. A.
Cooley and the appointment Of r T.
Porter, in charge Of the association
campaign for membership. Ewell
quoted Cooley as saying that Porter
could get the money but that he did
not like his tactics.
The committee was anxious TO To-
cate Cooley and probably will call him
later.
Robert McCarter. for the National
Association Of Manufacturers, ques-
toned Ewell about an unsuccessful
suit which he presented against the
National Association OF Manufacture
ers for some $50, 900 which ne claimed
was due him when he was discharged.
Il lost that suit through the false
testimony of Mr.. Bird and his coun-
sci, he shouted. and the committee
cut off that line Of examination
The committee has no further wit
nesses available at this time and prob
ably will not meet again before Mon
day

BOMB USE RSFLEE
IN A BLACK AUTO
Shoemaker'S Shop in New York
is Wrecked on the Night
Guard is ACKNOWLEDGMENT
in the Machine.

NEW YORK, Aug. An auto
mobile was used Thursday night by
a man and woman who. it is believed,
set off a bomb that wrecked a shoe
maker at Se4 T. 167th st. This is
the first time in this city that an auto
has figured in bomb explosions
Up TO Thursday night detectives
from the MOrrisania police station
had been guarding the store, which
stands in a row OF one-story build
ings. This guard was maintained
because Prozonzane had received sew
eral black hand letters and an at
tempt to blow up his store was made
five weeks ago. That bomb did not
go off.
Thursday night the guard was
taken away and about 10:40 o'clock
a black automobile stopped at the
opposite curb. 1t contained a man
and a woman. The woman was seen
to get out. After a few minutes she
returned and the machine drove
away. 1t had gone about a block
when the bomb exploded, wrecking
the shoemaker's shop and the grocery
next door at No. 392, owned by ia
cob Gooson. The bomb had been
placed under the front window of
No. 3e4 No one was injured. De-
tectives were sent out in en- endeavor
10 pick up the trail Of the black
auto.

TURKEY MUST
GIVE UP CITY
Powers Agree on Evacuation of
AdrianOples As Part of Peace
Terms.

LONDON, Aug. S.-The ambassa-
doris Friday met in consultation at the
foreign office with Sir Edward Grey,
for the purpose of discussing the Ad-
rianople situation. Now that another
peace agreement has been reached in
the Balkans. it is believed all that re-
mains to be done is 10 make Turkey
respect the treaty of ,endont and re-
tire behind the Enos Midia frontier.
Bulgaria has formally notified the
powers, through the diplomatic corps
at Sofia that she will re-mObilize her
troops as soon as the peace pact is
formally signed and that she regards
it as up TO the powers TO put the OF
toman out Of Adrianople. The pow
ers took an initial step in that direc-
ton when the ambassadors at Con-
stantinople informed the Sublime
Porte that the Holy City must be
evacuated Immediately.

GARY FIGHTS FOR
THREE CENT FARE
Sen. Gavit Promised Eight
Tickets for Quarter Within
Five Years After Opening
Operation and Time is Up.

GARY. Ind, Aug S.-Three cent
fares Is the subject OF a bitter fight
being waged between the people and
the Consolidated Gary & Interurban
Railroad company With no settle
ment in sight the fight probably will
be carried before the state public
service commission.
one OF the first decisions Of the
town board when Gary was organized
was TO grant street car franchise to
Frank y. Gavit. at present a state
senator and prominent bull mooser.
One Of the provisions was that five
years after opening operations the
road should sell eight tickets for %
cents. The first car ran on May 20,
1908 and on May 20, 1913. the city
officials claimed that the three cent
fares were due.
Pres. Gavit, however, claimed that
the date Of operation meant opera
ton of all lines mentioned in the
franchise. City officials declare they
ask the commission TO revoke the
roads charter If a peaceful settlement
is not made.
Gavit had practically no capital
when he was granted the franchise
on account OF the three cent promise
he made. New Gavit is reputed 70 be
worth over $3.50, 600. mainly through
his railway deals.

LAWS DIDN'T STO?
STEEL DIVIDENDS
Annual Report Shows Crafty
ing lnCreaSe-No Reduction
of 12-Hour Day Contem-
plated.
BY Gibson GARDNER.

WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-From the
18th annual report OF the United
States Steel corporation we learn what
results have been achieved by the in
vAstigation Of the steel trust by con-
gress and trust prosecutions.
This report shows that the net earn
ings for the last year have been graft
flying. one hundred and eighteen
million dollars, as against SIP. 000,-
600 for the year past is the record
OF this sum, S25,40O,000 was paid as
dividends on the common stock
which was originally issued as water.
There are, according TO this report.
221.000 men working for this cor
poration and a quarter of this num-
Der of wage workers work 2 hours
a day at a wage which is less than
$500 in Chicago, and 1921 in Pitts
burgh-these two figures being es-
tablished by the Sage Foundation as
the minimum at which a bare sub
sistence can be maintained by a
workingman's family. including hus-
band. wife and three children.
The report further shows that a
special committee of the finance COM
mittee-its chairman being Mr.
Roberts, acting with Mr.. Gary-in-
vestigated labor conditions to see if
any arrangement could be made for
reducing the 12-hour day. This COM
mittee, however, reported that the
12-hour day has by its general &C
ceptance and practice over a consid-
cradle period of years become firmly
entrenched and any sudden or arbi-
trary chQnge would involve revOlu-
uon in mill operations"
The report finally sets forth that
the corporation has embarked upon
social welfare work, in pursuit of
which prizes of 50 and $40 have been
offered for the best garden main
tanned by workmen in their back
yards.

BY MARGARET TOBIN.

Cur deeds Of the present. they tell
US. have their roots way back in the
past. At any rate the reason, though
he may not know II. that James II.
Loughman is republican candidate for
mayor is because he spent II months
in the rebel prison at Andersonville
during the Civil war.
Those months were the high tide OF
Mr.. Loughman's experience. More
than one Of his faiths were strength
ened and more than one Of his 10y
alties cemented in that period of suf-
ferinT.
Lest we forget" there's a picture
OF the prison field hanging in his Of
fee above his desk. Mr.. Loughman
re-lived his experience there while he
talked TO me OF his candidacy and
other things a few days ago.
He laid his finger on the spot in the
picture that was his prison home. He
pointed out the place where the pris-
oners. with stern justice, built a scat
fold and hung five suffers who were
preying upon the imprisoned men.
He traced out the stream >ghose
waters poisoned with the accumulated
fifth, added 10 the suffering and horror
Of the place. He placed his finger on
the very spot where providence
spring welled up miraculously one
night during his Imprisonment TO
bring relief 10 the dying soldiers.
we held prayer meeting all over
the prisoA 10 pray for water" said
he, and the spring was our answer.
Old Glory Brings Tears.
Mr.. LOughman sank back into his
chair and looked out OF the window
and far away while he told OF his re-
lease from prison. his journey back 10
Brownsville, o.. his reunion with his
family who thought him dead. and his
first glimpse OF Old Glory after his
long exile.
II just broke down and cried like
a baby when l saw the ole flag" said
he.
