ANOTHER LOBBY SENSATION
Colonel MuihaIl Tells Story of Alleged
Activity of pig Business" Among
congressman.

New York, n. "Details of the
lobby work of the National Associa-
ton of Manufacturers, as related in
the signed statement of Col Martin
NJ. Mulhan published in the New York
World and the Chicago Tribune, give
more comprehensive idea of the
power of the organization.
The statement purports to be Null
halls personal history as the repre-
sentative from 1903 to 1912 of the
National Association of Manufacturers
and bristles with the names of con-
gressmen who he alleges were sub
servient" or who were punished for
their opposition to legislation favored
by the association.
The allegations that he had helped
to defeat congressman who opposed
the interests of the manufacturers
that this organization had spent thou
sands of dollars to elect, congress
men expected to be sympathetic to
their influences; that he had aided in
getting favorable members on commit
tees that handled labor legislation,
and that his assistants had used great
efforts to obtain the establishment of
a federal tariff commission in 1908 as
means of delaying tariff revision, are
contained in the long article under Mr..

Lawrence, Mass.-A narrow wooden
walk leading over fifteen feet of water

stamping feet of a crowd of impatient
boys and at least eleven of the youths
were drowned. There may be more
bodies in the stream
The boys, ranging from 9 to Is
years, were waiting for William B.
Blythe, the bathhouse keeper, to open
the doors. No one knows how many
there were in the party, but it is be-
lieved forty is conservative esti-
mate. The boys were jumping up
and down as they shouted to Blythe
to open the door when the supports
sank and the walk extension dropped
like a trap door, rolling them into the

SAVED MANY LIVES
MINE ENGINEER REMAINED AT
POST WITH FIRE ALL
ABOUT HIM.
MAY DIE FROM HIS INJURIES
But the Four Hundred Workmen Who
Were i'm An IIIiois Coal Mine
Were Safely Hoisted to
the Surface.

Duquoin, In.-Charles Mathis, chief
engineer at the Paradise coal mine,
one and one-half miles east of this
city, saved four hundred men from
burning to death in the mine.
For half an hour, while the flames
ragged in the coal chutes a few feet
away, Mathis stood at-his post, work
ing the hoist which brought the men
out of the 400-foet shaft, where, at
any moment, the fire was likely to
break out With hands blistered and
hair singed by the furnace-like heat
which beat on him, he paralleled the
deed of Jim Bludsoe, who held burn
ing steamboats, nozzle agin' the
bank till the last galloot was ashore
When all the men had been hoisted
out or had climbed to safety through
the air shaft Mathis staggered a few
steps from the mouth of the mine
and feR unconscious. He was carried
to his home. Physicians say he is in
a critical condition.
A moment after Mathis had left
his engine the cable with which he
had saved the host of men gave way,
melted by the intense heat.
The tipple and two coal chutes we're
almost over the mouth of the mine
When fire was discovered in one of
the chutes it was apparent that the
chutes and the tipple would burn.

CAUGHT THE FAKER
NEW YORK MAN ADMITS WORK.
ING HOAX ON WALL
STREET.
DAVID LAMAR CONFEsSES
Told Senate Committee That He ins-
personated Congressman in Or
der to Help Out One of His
Friends.

Washington, D. C.-David Lamar,
Wall Street operator and one time
confidante of Russell Sage, James r.
Keene, and other fnancier6, amazed
the senate lobby committee by smil-
ingly and frankly testifying that it
was he who impersonated Representa-
tive Palmer and Representative Rior-
dan in telephone conversations with
Lewis Cass Ledyard, Paul D. Cravath.
Chairman Robert S. Lovett of the
Union Pacific board and other fnan-
ciers, telling them that Edward Lau-
terbach, a New York lawyer, could
do great things for them in Washing
ton.
A prosperous looking, self-possessed
individual calling himself David La
mar of New York, self-described as
an operator in stocks" and admitted
ly the bearer of several assumed
names, was the principal in the re-
marka bic session. With entire aban-
don, arousing the committee to laugh
ter at times by his naive admissions,
he told of his representations, his par
ticipation in attempts to influence Wall
street operations, and his association
with Edward Lauterbach, New York
lawyer, in efforts to have Lauterbach
retained by the Morgan firm, the
Union Pacific and other great inter
ests to head off congressional activity
in Washington.
He telephoned financial men and
lawyers in the name of Representative
Palmer and Representative Riordan.
He assumed the guise of Chairman
McCombs of the Democratic national
committee, to telephone to Chairman
Hilles of the Republican national COM
mittee.
Lewis Cass Ledyard of New York,
counsel for the Morgan firm, was one
of his attempted victims. Mr.. Ledyard
came to the witness stand armed with
almost a verbatim account of all the
conversations held with Lamar, who
had represented himself as Congress
man Palmer AS he read the record
of the conversations, in themselves
unusual in their tone, Lamar, sitting
nearby, laughed and nodded, saying
that's right" and slapping his leg
with apparent enjoyment. The pur
pose of his representations, Lamar
contended, was to gain reinstatement
for his friend, Edward Lauterbach, in
the good graces of the Morgan firm.
Members of the committee have de
manded that Lamar remain in Wash
1ngton for temperance.

PUTS AN END TO LOBBYING
President Wilson Says MulhaIPs Rev
Citations Have Put 1t Out of
Existence.

Washington.-Pres Wilson said
he knew nothing of the lobby charges
of Colonel Mulhall when he issued his
statement that "a numerous and in
sidious lobby was at work in Con-
gress against tariff revision.
The fact that the Mulhall reyela-
lions came at time so opportune for
the President led to the assumption on
the part of politicians that Mr.. Wilson
knew they were to be made when he
issued his statement.
The President discussed the Mulhall
charges briefly with the correspond
ents.
THE lobby is out of business so far
as national legislation is concerned -
President Wilson said. 1T has ceased
to embarrass the administration. When
the present investigation ends, lobby
ing as a profession will be classed

tinct"

. in the mortality from the disease in
1911. when $50 deaths were reported;
mortality reported from this disease
was insignificant, two deaths being
returned from 1900, two for 1903. and
one for 1904. In 1908 there occurred
70 deaths, all in southern cities. A
large increase was shown for 1903,
during which 116 deaths were report
ed. and a still greater increase for
1910. when there were 36S deaths
The mortality of $50 for 1911, as COM
pared with 36S for 1910, indicate an
increase of 79 per cent. 1t is Ques-
t1onable, however, if this should be
considered representative of the actual
increase in the mortality. AS in pre-

tins was very large. 464, or 70.4 per
