House Lobby Probers
Likely to Clash With
Senate Over MuIhaII

The House lobby investigating COM
mittee, created yesterday, held its in
tttal meeting IN the majority caucus
room of the House office building today
and informally discussed the prospects
Of getting the first crack at Col.
Martin M. Mulhall, author of the now
famous Mulhall hcarges
There are signs of conflict between the
Senate and House lobby investigating
committees with reference to possession
Of the Mulhan documents and the ex-
animation of the colonel himself. The
Senate committee now is in possession
Of the papers," which were turned
over by the newspaper first publishing
the Mulhan confession" So Ear,
there has been no disposition on the
Senate committee to turn these papers
over to the lower body, whose resoiu-
ton Of inquiry soncerns particularly
the National Association of Manufac-
turers ard Colonel MulhaI. although
the House committee will pry into all
sorts of lobies before its task is done.
The House commit,ee would like to
have the first peep at the Mulhall doc
uments, involving members Of Congress
past and present and Chairman Gar
rett and his colleagues also desire to
get the colonel on the stand at the
earliest possible moment. II the Sem
ate holds on to the papers, il is prob
able that the House committee for a
time must content itself with an inves-
dgation of the activities of Hobbies
rother than that of the National AS
'sociation of Manufacturers
Meeting Informal.
The meeting of the House lobby
chasers today was an informal get to-
gether" affair. Four members of :he
committea uera praSap- 5-opgr,..,,,.,, -,
Garrett (chairman), Roddenbery, Rus
sell, and Nolan. The remaining three
are out of the city. but are Fastening
back to take up the chase following
their appointment on the committee.
1t is not the disposition of the House
committee to get into a wrangIe with
the Senate committee. II the Overman
investigators insist upon retain posses
sion of the letters, kilograms, and other
documents originally furnished a news
paper by Colonel Mulhall, the House
probers may turn their attention TO the
ALLEGED lobbies of the liquor and anti
liquor interest, the labor and the anti
labor organizations, and railroad and
tariff lobbyists
Prospects are today that the House
committee will get down TO work on
Monday. and at the first meeting of the
full committee definite program of ac-
ton will be outlined. The broadest of
investigations is possible under the reso-
ultion adopted by the House authoriz-
ing an independent probe of lobbies and
lobbyists.
1t is hoped to have a melting of the
Sull committee at o'clock tomorrow
afternoon and the taking of testimony is
scheduled to begin early next week.

II IA evident hudrinr by the way

It IL evident, judging by the way

this year. as the senators have evil

work for some good legislation. Not
SO, however, with the members OF the
house. or such progressive nature
during the last regular and special ses-
sions that II was willing to push
through any sort of a measure, the
house attracted considerable attention
for its willingness to act, but this
year il is apparent that some OF the
old time leaders are bucking over the
i've republicans in the house are COM
planning that the leaders OF the q. O..
y. majority are not acting for the best
interests OF the party and the people
has apparently arisen over the adop-
tion of the resolution introduced by
Rep. Farmer, the democratic leader.
that all recounts shall be discontinued
and no action taken. Rep. ID. G. f..
Warner, who has been an avowed and
open supporter Of the liquor interests
in the house for several years, aided
the democratic leader in the passage
of the resolution. Every democrat, a
number of prosressives whose seats
were to have been contested, and sew
eral republicans, supported the resolu-
tion. The republicans who were anx-
ious to have some of the districts re-
counted allege that it was move on
the part of the liquor interests.
This statement has apparently
caused fine little split in the ranks
OF the republicans in the lower house
and there is no telling to what lengths
the controversy may be carried.
Calmer heads over in the senate are
already urging the recalcitrant mem
bers OF the house to bury the hatchet
and assist in putting through some
good legislation

Shipments of Live Stock.

Rep. Dunn, of Sanilac, has prepared
a bill compelling railways to give live
stock precedence over ordinary freight
A movement has been started in
Michigan and surrounding states by
live stock buyers and shippers, which
is based on the fact that the rail
ways have made stock shipments feel
the brunt OF the delays. The bill es-
tablishes minimum rate OF speed for
stock shipments of say is miles per
hour while in Michigan territory.
Shippers claim the railroads made it
a business to hold up stock in order
to add feeding charges and then only
furnish feed enough for tenth of the
number shipped.
