 Mulhall declared that Cushing agreed with him to help build up the Workingmens protective association, (which Mulhan controlled. He had run down about 800 members and with Cushing's aid MulhaI declared it was worked up to 1.2O0.

 MulhaI identified a letter from a Baltimore republican to McComas urging him to drop the S-Lour bill stating that the working men were opposed to it because in urging the manufacturers to organize it would result in lowering of wages and in turing labor.

 Well just about that tlrre." Null hall answered, the Workingmen's Protective association passed resolu- tions cOndemning the 8-hour bill and I guess I was largely responsible for bringing that about. After the resOlu- tions were passed the letters went to McCOmas."
 He said Cushing was interested in May, 1904 in his candidacy for cleo tion as alternate to the republican national convention of that year.
 At that time Cushing sent him an extra large check to aid his expenses and Mulhall was elected alternate in general with Agnus of Baltimore.
 "A gnus was in New York a that time" said MulhalI, and Cushing was using his influence to keep Agnus at home away from the Chicago con vention so that I could nave his vote at the convention and so that he could control that vote"

CARS WILL STOP
ON THE NEAR SIDE
Matter to Be Formally Taken
Up in Council Meeting in the
Immediate Future.

Street cars will soon be stopping
on the near side of the street in Rock
Island. Mayor H. NJ. Schriver took
the matter up with various of the com
missioners this morning after confer
ing with Superintendent ]. G. Huntoon
of the Tri-City Railway company re-
garding the innovation and the senti-
ment was strongly in favor of inaugur-
ating the change here. 1t will be
brought up at council meeting in the
near future.
The plan is to have the street cars
stop wherever it is practical, on the
near side of street, there to take on
and unload passengers. The advantage
is obvious. There would be less dan
ger 10 traffic and to pedestrians be-
cause of the slower speed at which
cars would cross the streets and be-
cause of their having come to stop,
thereby more nearly removing the dan
ger of collisions On streets or ave
nues that are unpaved the plan con-
templates having the street cars stop
with their exit steps at the crossing
The new scheme goes inc effect in
Davenport Saturday and Moline has
evinced an intention of adopting it
there. That will make it hold in all
of the three cities.
The plan is now in vogue in Chica-
go and all of the big cities.

here this morning. confident that they
will carry off the bacon in at least
two of the three contests TO be staged
here. Although unaccompanied by
rooters, the Jayhawkers will receive
able support from the Bethany con-

make some noise even though they are

The Bethany party is composed of
the following players: Petersen and

series at Lindsberg, Augustana was
victorious in the first contest, lost the
