MULHALL STARTS
ON LOBBY STORY
Senate , and House Squabble
Over Star Witness
UPPER CHAMBER THE WINNER
Confessed Lobbyist Fears Bodily In
jury and Has Guardian Near by All
the Time His Statements Startling.
After a squabble of many hours at
to whether the senate lobby investi
gators or the house probers should
stage the inquiry into the confession
of Colonel M. M. Muihall, confessed
lobbyist, negotiations were broken off
and Senator Overman, chairman pi
the senate committee, .called Muihall
to the stand. ' 'j. .-. . "
Colonel Muihall has expressed to his
associates here in Washington that ha
Is fearful of his life. That the colonel
is prepared for certain eventualities
and perhaps rough treatment at the
hands of some of the men whom his
statements have injured was evi
denced when the colonel took his seat.
In Ills right hand hip pocket there
was a suspicions looking bulge. If It
was not what It. looked to be It cer
tainly was the largest bunch of keys
ever carried by a plain business man,
as the colonel styles himself.
Besides the bunch of keys Colonel
Muihall now has a guardian. The
guardian is a person of six feet, three
inches high, weighing 220 pounds.
Colonel .Muihall opened his testi
mony with the story of part of his
life. He said that in 1892 he was
offered a 'bribe of $.1,000 and a life
position In the United States navy.
Who offered him the bribe the colo
nel neglected to say and the commit
tee did not ask him.
Mulhall's time in the witness chair
was taken up chiefly in Introducing a
botch of letters Into the record, all of
which connect the Manufacturers' fR
soclatlon with lobbying and have here
tofore been published.
A few letters heretofore unpub
lished were introduced In evidence.
They had paBsed be ween .Muihall and
John Mitchell, president of the mine
workers, back in 1901 at the time of
the anthracite coal strike. Through
this correspondence it was shown that
Muihall was striving to bring Mr.
Mitchell Into treaty relations with the
then governor of Pennsylvania, Wil
liam M. Stone. Muihall purported to
be working at the Instigation of Sen
ator Quay.
Muihall explained that these nego
tiations were to be for the .benefit of
the Republican party.
The mlneworkers were to fall In
behind the Republican machine and
the Republicans on the other hand
were to aid the mineworkers In their
struggle. Mr. Mitchell, as the letters
disclosed, consistently refused to meet
Governor Stone.
Seemingly It was during the cam
paign In the Sixth New Jersey con
gressional district waged against Rep
resentative now Senator Hughes th:u
Colonel Muihall first came Into the
open as the representative of iho
National Association of Manufacturers.
"Why did the association wish to
defeat Representative Hughes?" asked
Senator Cummins.
"They wanted to get Hughes be
cause of his floor activities on behalf
of the American Federation of Labor,"
replied Muihall.
Colonel Mulhall's activities on be
half of Senator Aldrlch's candidacy
for re-election to the senate In 1901
were disclosed by gome letters written
by Marshall dishing, secretary of the
association, to Mr. Muihall. Mulliall
told that he had spent several weeks
In Providence lining up the labor
leaders for Senator Aldrich and had
succeeded in the things he attempted
to do.
Only once did New York state poli
tics get brought into the discussion
of the activities of Colonel Muihall.
This was when a letter from Mr. Cush-
ing was Introduced telling Muihall to
go to Albany and see what he could
do to defeat a bill of Senator Page'J
relating to liability of employers.
"And you were sent to see the
leaders in the legislature and have
that bill killed?"
"Yes sir," said Muihall. "That was
it I did not have to see very many
leaders, though, to get that accom
plished. It was not much of a job.
I only saw the man."
"Who was that?" demanded Senator
Cummins.
"Hoss Barnes," was the reply.
Mulliall talked of "Inside" work and
"outside" work; of a bookkeeper at
the American Federation of Labor
whom he charged with later becoming
a paid spy for the Manufacturers' as
sociation and of N. Carroll Downs,
private secretary to former Senator
McComas of Maryland, who he alleged
was taking pay from the Manufactur
ers' association when it was trying to
beat McComas.

Crisped.
The coroneT s jury decided that mur
der had been committed In connection
with the drowning of Miss Alice Cris
pell, whose body was found Hunting
in Harvey's lake near Wilkes-Harre,

The Jury exonerated Herbert Johns,
the girl's friend, but declares that
murder wag committed and that the
culprit is Hill ut large. Later an al
derman held Johns for first degree
murder.
The funeral of the dead girl w-as
the most elaborate held here in many
years. The grave was beneath a fir
tree that had one broken limb which
looked like a gibbet. As its shadow
silhouetted against the sun the ie
semblance to the gallows was notice
able to everyone, but the mother of
the dead girl was the first to notice
It and turning to her husband she said,
"That means that Alice's deatih Is to
bo avenged."

RAILROADMEN
WONT STRIKE
New Arbitration Plan Accept
able to Both Sides
CONGRESS RUSHES NEW LAW
According to Newlanda Amendment
to Erdman Act Mediation Board
Will Take Care of Controversies.
Washington, July 15. The threat
ened strike of 100.000 operatives on
the railroads east of Chicago ha been'
averted. This is assured as the result
of the White House conference in
tended by President Wilson, leaders
of congress anil representatives of the
railroads and of the conductors and
trainmen who had voted to walk out.
At This gathering arrangements were
perfected for the passage by congress
of the Newlanda amendment to the
Erdman act under which both sides
to the pending controversy are willing
to submit to arbitration. Assurances
were given at the conference that this
course would be followed.
Under the Newlands bill, being
rushed through congress today, a
board of mediation will be created
which shall be entirely Independent
of the department of labor. Under the
bill also the board of arbitration to be
chosen when efforts of mediation and
conciliation fall shall consist of six
Instead of three members as at pres
ent. Two members of the board are
to be named by the labor organizations
Interested, two by the railroads and
two by the four arbitrators thus
chosen.
In the event, however, that the four
are unable to agree on the two re
maining members the boaird of media
tion is authorized to select these two.
The power of naming these two mem
hers gives to the board of mediation
Its chief importance.
Both sides had refused to arbitrate
under the present Krdman law in i's
present form, taking the ground that
the present law does not provide for
an adequate representation of em
ployers and employes. The railroads
objected chiefly to the 'head of the
bureau of labor statistics In the de
partment of labor being one of the
mediators and on this point the rail
roads had 1heir way. although repre
sentatives of the unions showed no
disposition to urge this point.
The mediation board under the
amendment will consist, of a commis
sioner of mediation to be appointed
to olllce by the president and to head
the hoard a;id two government officials
who have been appointed to office by
the president with the advice and con
sent of the senate. These government
officials are to be designated by the
president and the legislation puts no
limitation upon their selection, save
that they are to be officials of the
United States government.
JOHNSON TO STAY ABROAD
Pugilist May Have to Leave France,
However.
Jack Johnson, the negro heavy
weight pugilist, accompanied by his
wife and nephew, arrived in Paris
from the United States by way of Mon
treal. The pugilist drove to a number
of hotels before he was able to find
accommodations.
Johnson paid he intended to make
Paris his headquarters in the future
and that never, on any account, would
he fight agt .n in America. He added
he had arranged- for a number of fights
In Kurope In the autumn.
Referring to his recent sentence un
der the "white slave" act to serve one
fear in the '.eavenworth penitentiary,
Johnson declared he would carry the
case to the highest court in confidence
that a decision ultimately would be
given In his favor. It Is not generally
believed here that Johnson will be do
ported from France, but the French
authorities have not arrived at any
permanent decision.

TARIFF BILL IS
BEFORESENATE
Cannot Pass Betore Sept. 10
Is Prediction ot Leaders
SEVERAL WEEKS OF DEBATE
Measure as Sent Over From House
Is Considerably Altered Republi
cans Give Notice of Bitter Battle.
The Underwood-Simmons tariff bill
is finally before the United States
and at least six weeks of debate are
now in prospect. The bill was re
ported by the full membership of tho
committee on finance.
The motion to report was adopted
by a strictly party vote. Senator
Simmons of North Carolina, chairman
of the finance committee, gave notice
soon alter the bill was reported that
on next Wednesday he would move to
make It the unfinished business, whi' h
motion if adopted will give the meas
ure legislative right of way.
The hill as It came into the senata
carries many amendments. The in
come tax ameudent has been practi
cally rewritten.
The administrative features have
been modified materially since the
bill came from the house. One of the
most important amendments is that
creating a Joint committee of three
Members or each house of congress to
submit a report on a revision of the
administrative features before Feb. 1,
1914.
The senate committee also passed
an amendment giving federal circuit
courts of appeals concurrent jurisdic
tion with the customs court over cus
toms appeal cases where the amount
involved exceds $1U0 in value.
One of the last amendments adopted
by the senate committee is intended
to conserve the constutlunality of the
measure and provides that if any
clause, sentence, paragraph or part of
the act is held to be unconstitutional
by the courts, that such judgment
"shall not affect, impair, or invalidate
the remainder of said act."
Democratic leaders coutend that the
senate committee has reduced the
average ad valorem rate of duty
nearly 10 per cent below that carried
by the house bill and that it has in
creased the prospective revenue for
the bill about $5,000,000 or $8,000,000.
As the bill was finally reported to
the senate it provides that raw wool
shall go on the free list after Dec. 1
and that sugar s'hall be free after May
1, 1916, b.it the reduced duties on
sugars shall not take c fleet until
March 1, 1914.
Senator La Follette of Wisconsin
served notice on the finance commit
tee that lie would submit an individual
report on the tariff hill.
Senator Pmoot, another Republican
member, gave notice that he would
submit a complete substitute for
schedule K, the woolen schedule, Mon
day which calls for duties nearly as
high as those In the existing law.
Senate leaders think the considera
tion of the tariff hill which will begin
next Wednesday will last six or eight
weeks and there is little prospect that
the bill will puss the senate before
Sept. 10.
The Income tax amendment as the
senate left It reduces the mmimuni
exemption from $4,000 to $:i,000 and
makes the maximum $5,000. it dis
tinguishes betwceti married men and
Eingle men, giving an additional ex
emption of $1,000 on account of a de
pendent wife and $500 for each de
pendent child.
The senate bill also exempts mutual
Insurance companies from a tax nn
so much of thek Income as is dis
tributed among policy holders In the
form of dividends on policies or re
hates on premium charges.
The free list was greatly enlarged
by the senate. Pig Iron, fepro man
ganese and many other steel products
were free listed that were dutiable
under the house bill. There was a
reduction of 10 per cent on tho aver
age in the manufactured steel products.
Wilson's Ideas to Be Followed.
Action taken by the house commit
tee on hanking and currency Indicates
that the committee as well as the
house Intends to follow the recom
mendation of President Wilson that
iho government shall exercise the
closest boii of supervision over the
system of hanking and currency pro
posed by tho pending (;ia.KH-()wen hli.

'MAN GREATER THAN SHIP"
Secretary Daniels Points Out Lesson
of Perry Victory.
Exploits of America's early naval
heroes were lauded as splendid ex
amples proving that, "the man Is
greater than tho slip" by Joseph us
Daniels, secretary of the navy, orator
on naval day at the l'erry centennial
celebration at Krie, Pa.
"It is not always the highest train
ing and skill which wins tho battle,
although we must not for a moment
underrate the value of these," Mr.
Daniels said. "It was this marvelous
Initiative, tills uncoiuiuerablo will
power which saved the day for the
young republic at tho battle of Lake
Krie and gave Perry Immortal fame.
The man is greater than the ship. I
am afraid there is danger in this day
of technical things, this day of meth
ods and models and mechanisms, that
we may g't too far away from the
Idea that readiness and aptitude and
initiative, alertness to change the line
of battle with changing circumstances
In the fate of tho fray, are vital to
success."
