NULHALL EXCUSED
BY SENATE TODAY
CONF lsED LOBBYIST TURNED
oVER TO HOUSE INvEsTfGAT-
ING COMMITTEE

Washington, Aug. Gross exami
nation of Martin M. Mulhall. confessed
lobbyist for the National Association
Of Manufacturers. ended today before
the senate lobby committee
Mulhall was excused until Monday
and turned over to the house lobby
committee. The senate committee
will turn next week to the files Of the
National Association Of Manufactur-
ers on an examination Of its officials.
The senate lobby committee started
out again today with another disagree
ment about the cross-examination Of
Martin NJ Mulhall After an execu.
tive session the committee decided
that the attorneys for the National
Association of Manufacturers should
have an additional two hours to ex-
anime the witness. The committee.
however, put the questions.
The lawyers began to direct the in
quiry to the National Council for In
dustrial Defense. Mulhall previously
testified that a collector for that or
ganization had told him it raised be-
tween 100000 and 100000 for lobby
work. He stuck to his story that the
organization was a paper one Of which
a few officials Of the National Asso-
citation of Manufacturers became mem
bers.
The lawyers worried Mulhall by
asking him about a blacklist Of CON
gressmen put in the record two weeks
ago. He could not explain the names
of several republicans alleged TO have
been put on the list by the republican
whip Of the house.
When the committee questioned
Mulhall on claims in his letters about
naming chairmen and committees
and placing friendly congressman, the
lawyers tried to pin him down to di-
rect answers on how he expecRsd to
do those things. Mulhall said he was
not clear about it now but thought
Attorney Emery was to make the ar
rangements.
Apparent contradictions in Null
halls testimony about en- alleged Of
fered the letters to the labor leader
ers came up. Once ne swere he Of
feded the letters to the labor Leader

In the mean time the prince and
his bride are on their wedding trip,
but where no one outside the Freeze
family knows. Mr.. Freeze youchsafed

ly that it had been brought to him

BOARD OF TRADE

Chicago, Aug. Excitement in
the corn market whirled prices up
more than cents a bushel today.

were at hand indicating that the corn
crop as a whole had suffered a loss
Of 2OO,0OO.oOO to 30O,OO0O0O bushels
in the last month owing to damage
from lack Of the normal amount Of
moisture The greater part OF the
injury has been in Kansas, Oklaho-

outlook for a greatly enlarged area
of damage was today regarded by
many traders as dangerously threat
ening.

SATISFACTORY ADVANCE SHOWN
BY THE SISTER TOWN ACROSS
TIE eALLiNAs

That San Miguel county is growing
and prospering is shown by the large
gain in increased valuation Of property
subject to tax that has been reported
by County Assessor Manuel A. San
chez. According to Mr.. Sanchez, the
county has made a gain of $2S7,712
since last year.
The assessed valuation for the coun.
ty last year was $4,S47147, while this
year it is $4,559, ,435. The increase is
not due entirely to the fact that the
new state laws require all property to
be returned at its full value, the coun-
ty having made substantial gain
over last year according either to the
old or the new system Of taxation
says Mr.. Sanchez,
In the city Of East Las Vegas the
increase in value Of property subject
to taxation this year is s25S.556, The

values Of property in this section the
increase in valuation in East Las
Vegas this year is $26O,27O. The total
valuation also is increased to $2,345,-
$50, the values for the segregated por-
tion of the precinct being $76,657.
In the town of Las Vegas, the West

erty subject to tax this year is S12.-I
9O5, the valuation being $33S,649 in
comparison with $325.744 last year
Precincts 9 and on the West side
showed substantial gains, but there
was a big falling Off in Precinct 5,
which cut down the increase material
ly.
The valuations for the precincts Of.
the county not included in East and
West Las Vegas amount to $2,239,195.
while last year the figures were $2,-
