MULHALL TELLS
LOBBY'S HISTORY
DECLARES 100000 WAS SPENT
VAlNLY IN MAINE TO DE-
FEAT McGILLlCUDDY.

ance-"Got the scalps" of
Friends of Labor

Washington.-Mar M. Mulhall,
field agent, strike breaker, lobbyist
and political worker for the National
Manufacturers Association, told his
remarkable story before the senate
lobby investigation committee. Mul-
hall was on the stand for several days.
In that time nearly 500 letters, tele-
grams and scraps of memoranda were
identified by him with hardly more
than a glance. He remembered ap-
parently the first names of members
of congress, of lesser politicians, of
labor leaders and underlings, of secTe-
taries to congressman and all the men
he had worked with through year of
most active campaigning in many
parts of the country. His perform
ance seemed so remarkable to law
yers present that they sat all through
a long day intently watching the wit
ness and listening to the tales closely
and every word that the witness ut
tered in the brief examination that
accompanied some of them.
Mulhall's correspondence told of the
efforts to re-elect forme~ Congress
man Littlefeld of Maine and defeat
the present representative from that
district, Daniel J, McGlHcuddy. Lit
tlefeld was to be supported by the
National Manufacturers Association
because Of his stand against labor
legislation. Mulhall said on cross-ex-
animation that 100000 was spent in
that campaign.
Mulhalrs letters went into detail
concerning the campaign he made in
Maryland to beat former Congressman
Pearre of Cumberland. Pearre was
the author of an "injjunction bill" and
Mulhall and other agents went out to
get his political scalp.
Some of the letters read showed that
Mulhall had been known to the late
Vice President James S. Sherman,
who in 1907 was chairman of the ma.
tional republican congressional com
mittee.
On July 2, Mr. Sherman, on letter
paper of the republican committee
wrote Mulhall as follows:
My Dear Colonel:
81 am glad that you still are inter
ested in political as we'll as economic
work and / am glad to bespeak for
you to our friends cordial reception
While you are not employed by
the republican congressional commit
tee, nor were you employed during the
last campaign, you did render us very
material assistance and l. found you
at all times reliable, trustworthy and
effective"

Thouoht Baby Was sliohted.

The baby of the family had been
christened that afternoon and little
Jane was observed looking thought
full. Somebody asked what troubled
her.
"Oh, I was just a-wondering" was
the quiet reply.
What were you wondering about,
dearie?"
"Oh, was just a-wondering if all
the peoples names had been used
up"
What do you mean, dearie? We
don't understand"
Jane looked surprised at the density
Of adult perceptions, but deigned to
explain, gently:
"Oh, I noticed that we're going TO
call the baby Hazel, and it seems as if
she might have real name stead of

Looking for the Reward.

A rsral school had a pretty girl as
its teacher, but she was much trou-
bled because many of her pupils were
late every morning. At last she made
the announcement that she would kiss
the first pupil to arrive at the school
house the next morning. At sunrise
three of the largest boys of her class
were sitting on the door step Of the
schoolhouse and by 6 o'clock every
boy in the school and four of the di
rectors were waiting for her to arrive

Bicvcles Ponular in France.

From statistics for 1912, prepared
by the Cycle and Automobile Manufac-
turers' association Of France it is re.
ported that there were at the close Of
that year 80, 1856 motor cars, 2S,641 mo
torcycles and 2,989,985 bicycles in use
in France. This represents, for the
population Of France, one automobile
for every 500 inhabitants, one bicycle
for every 10 and one motorcycle for
every 1882. Ten years ago there
was one motorcycle for every 1000 in.
habitants and one bicycle for every 80
persons. The department Of the Seine,
in which Paris is situated, has 1,494
automobiles and 3O4,S66 bicycles.
Between 1910 and 1911 there was
the enormous increase of 100000 bicy-
cles. In 1899 there were in France
only 1,762 automobile, whereas in
1912 the figure rose to S9,1S5. 1t is
estimated that from 1900 to 1000 for
eign-made cars are sold in France ev-
cry year. The French manufacturers
build the remainder sold in France
estimated by the association as being
10000 to 10000 last year.

Arbitration in Siqht

WashingtOn.-Rep of
the $4,000 conductors and trainmen of
eastern railways who have voted to
strike for higher wages, and manag-
ing officers of the railroads agreed at
the White House to submit their diff
ferences to arbitration under the pro-
visions of the Newlands- Clayton act,
which President Wilson and congress
sional leaders promised to make law.
In the meantime no strike will be de-
clared, officials of the employees broth
eThoods agreeing to an armistice.
This victory for arbitration over the
strike was the result of two-hour con.
ference at the White House between
President Wilson and congressional
leaders, both republicans and demo
Gratis, railroads and representatives
of the president and managers of the
brOtherhoods of trainmen and conduc-
tors. The agreement not only averted
temporarily, at least, the strike which
threatened TO tie up railroad triftic

out differences of opinion that had
arisen in both houses

MISCELLANEOUS BILLS

A measure Of far-reachlng effect Is the
bill introduced by Durham OF Beaver, a
Democratic member Of the house, pro-
viding for an increase in the per diem
Of jurors In district courts and grand
jurors from 50. the present rate, to SO.
The bill had stormy career in the
house and was strongly opposed. In the
end il prevailed. however a result which
was aided no doubt by the fact that SEN
ator Iverson introduced like bill in the
senate after Durham's bill had already
made heedway in the house. Iverson Is
a Republican, So 1t happened that when
the Republican house members saw that
there was really no politics In the bill

This reduction insures a longer life
tor the retirement fund and prevents
an extra heavy drain on the fund. How
ever, 1t is likely that within few years
the teachers will again find themselves
by the pensions. Jt may then be neces-
sary, to, increase the assessment, but
the teachers hope to be able to keep the
fund large enough by revenue from en-.
tertalnments and other sources.
