HOUSE TO PROBE ITSELF.
MULHALL'S CHARGES CAUSE
CONGRESSMEN TO TAKE NO.
TICE.
Men Who Are Under Suspicion of
Shady Dealings With Lobbyist Now
Want to Have u share i'm Investi-
CATION Set on Foot by President
Wilson.

Washington, July "A sweeping
investigation Of lobbying charges
made by Martin NJ. Mulhall, invOlv-
ing members of the house, will be
authorized by the house, probably on
Saturday. After two hours Of heated
discussion today the house referred
the matter to the rules committee with
instructions TO report a resolu-
ton giving a committee broad inquis-
itorial powers to probe the matter.
Chairman Henry called a meeting
of the rules committee for tomorrow
morning to begin framing the reso-
luton. The question of appointing
committee to act in conjunction
with the senate lobby committee will
be taken up and Senator Overman
and other members OF the senate
committee will be consulted. If a
separate house committee is decided
upon an attempt will be made to
~oNh 'ii oSiSShiSht Will ltC SCIolC
committee to divide the subject mat
ter Of the inquiry with the idea of al
lowing the house to probe such mat
ters as concern it's own members.
Resolutions Of inquiry were pre-
sented by Representative Sherley OF
Kentucky, one of the members listed
by Col. Mulhall as susceptible to in
fuence," who declared he did not
know Mulhall, Representative Neeley
of Kansas and Representative Nolan
of California.
During the discussion on the floor
1t was made apparent that the pro-
posed investigation may extend not
only to activities Of the National AS
sociation of Manufacturers but to
those of labor union agents, temper
ance association representatives and
all others who have interested them
selves in congressional legislation.

London. July 4.-Evidence that Sc
rious fighting is occurring in Mace
donia is found in the arrival of large
numbers of wounded and prisoners
OF the various Balkan capitals, but
owing to silence at Sofia and to the
conflicting and probably biased stories
from Servian and Greek sources, IL is
impossible to form an accurate idea
of the struggle.
There has been no formal declara-
ton of war and although it Is reported
the Bulgarian minister to Greece has
been recalled, he has not departed
from Athens.
Premier Venezelos announced in the
Greek parliament today that the
Greek forces had won a victory at
kilkish and captured 60 guns. This
appears to have been gained by the
amazing swiftness of the Greek ad-
vance from Saloniki, which, accord
ing to correspondents, surprised the
Bulgarians
The Servians claim a victorious ad-
vance to Kotchana. but the Servian
invasion Of Bulgaria has been re-
pulsed and Bulgaria, 1t is reported, is
executing a turning movement which
will nuliify the Servian movement.
Suspension Of judgment regarding
the operations is deemed advisable i'm
the absence of accurate accounts.
King Constantine of Greece tele-
graphed personally today to the Greek
minister here confirming the report
of the massacre of Greek soldiers by
Bulgarjans i'm Macedonia and the ex-
termination under the most horrible
circumstances Of the Greek popula-
tions In the villages through which
the Bulgarians retreated.
