WATSON INVOLVED
AGAIN AS LOBBYIST
Another Witness Testifies
Against Former Congress
man Before Probers.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 22.-Herbert
e. Miles, of Racine Wis, testified to
the Senate lobby committee today
that. acting for the Tariff Commits
sion Association, he employed former
Representative James T.. Watson at
a salary of $3.50 a week to work for a
tariff board bill in Congress in 1909.
He confirmed Martin M. Mulhalps
testimony that Mulhall advanced the
first $500 paid Watson, who was then
a member of the House. Miles denied
that the National Association of
Manufacturers sought to elect or de-
feat candidates for office.
Miles declared he would not have
permitted Muihall to advance the
money had he known the National
Association of Manufacturers was to
reimburse him. The witness was
asked to explain a letter from Null
hall saying Miles expected him to
control Speaker Cannon.
"The only explanation | can give Is
that of exaggerated ego" said he
"Mulhall could not lift the capital or
control the speaker.
Miles charged Mulhall with stealing
a letter he had written in 1909, say
ing Speaker Cannon was against
tariff board. He said Mulhall used
the letter to make it appear that
Miles was assailing Cannon.
Henry e. Davis, n Washington at
torney, who got $4,000 from local
money lenders to work against the
federal loan shark law, told the
