"If business disaster prematurely
comes. Us coming will bo due more to'
the oft-expressed fears of this adminis

elves with prosecution. v
"There Is one thing which stands out
clearly at this time, arid that Is this:
The administration will be supremely
happy If it was well assured that the
condition of tho country would be no
worse than It is today. It has no real
hope that things' will bo better; it Justly
fars they will be worse, and It is look

PROGRESSIVES IS COM'GniaCB
Eleven Senntom Will Snpnort
Kollette's Wool Hill.
WASHINGTON, July 28,-EIeven pfo
pitsslve republican senators tentatively
unread today to support Senator La Fol
Ictta's substitute schedules on wool, cot
ton and several other sections of tho
tariff bill. The tariff marked the first op
portunity of the progressive republican
element to take a definite stand on the
tariff revision.
Votes on amendments last week showed
many of the progressive republlcansat
variance with the rcmalndcr-rf the re
publican side on certain items. It is un
derstood now that an attempt will bo
made to. substitute the La Follette wool
schedule for that which has already been
introduced by Senator Smoot and which
the latter expects to present as the re
publican measure.
In today's conference, presided over by
Senator Clapp, were Senators Borah,
Bristow, Crawford, Sterling, Cummins,
Kenyon, La Follette, Gronna, Norrls and
Works.
Another conference -will be held In a
fow days and each member will present
amendments which he proposes to sup
port In the senate.
Senator La Follette outlined substitutes
he will propose to the wmI and cotton
ne win propose to the wol and cotton
tchedules next week, when he wUl begin
cratlc bill. Senator Kenyon will urge
amendments placing on the free list all
articles In control of a monopoly, one of
them being aluminum. He expects to
speak this week on the general policy of
free listing all trust controlled commodi
ties. 7
Senator Cunjmlnslhas an amendment
to tax all commodities sold through stock
exchanges, similar to the cotton futures
stamp tax included in the democratic
bill. Other progressive repuBUcaris arc

MORE MULHALLLETTERS OUT
Says He Expected to Control Demo
cratic Committees.
REFERS OFTEN TO LABOR LOBBY
Members of Uxeuntire Hoard of
Aiuerlcnn Federation of Labor,
He Suy, Were Alvrnys
Actlre.
WASHINGTON. July 28.-Lss Ulan
1,000 of Martin M. Mulhall's letters an a
lobbyist for the National Association ot
Manufacturers remained to be put in
the record when the senate Investigates
committee met today. Attorneys for the
association and tho American Federation
of Labor granted the right to cross-examine
the witness through the committee
will ottcmpt to shake Mulhall's story be
fore he Is turned over to the bouse lobbj
committee about the middle of this week.
In January, 1311, Mulhall wrote Gen
eral Manager Bird of the manufacturers
about tho democratic house:
"I am positive we will faro very much
better with the Incoming democrats ot
the house than we have with tho present
congress. I assured Mr. Kmery (counsel
for the manufacturers) that if he would
select some man we could agree on for
chairman of the labor committee, wo
could have him appointed. I also told
Mr. Emery I am positive wo will control
the Judiciary committee and Its sub-iem-mlltces
nnd also the labor committee and
Its sub-committees In the next congress.
I am not making this statement until 1
am fully convinced that those facts can
be- accomplished."
31 a hall Doe Sot Itemeiuber.
"What grounds had ,you for making
this statement" demanded Senator Ncl-,
son.
v "I can't 'just recall .at the, present time.,
l-hna -broke- -down about that time," said
Mulhall.
"Did you and Emery agree lo name any
men?"
"Not 'that I remember."
"Is' that all thV information you can
give this committee as a basis for thes&
'statements?"
"All at this time. 'I think the letters
will show," said Mulhall.
Frequently In his correspondence Mul
hall referred to "the labor lobby."
"Who did you mean by the labor
lobby?" asked Senator Nelson.
"Gompers, Morrison nnd members ot
the executive board of the Federation ot
Labor," said the witness.
"I always found them busy. I saw
them frequently about the ca'pltol."
Lodsc Contradict Mulhall.
Senator Lodge appeared to deny Mul
hall's statement that he conferred with
him In the summer ot 1910. He denied
ever having seen Mulhall before the In
vestigation began.
"I certainly am not going to try to
contradict what you say," said Mulhall
"but I do pay that I had a conference
with you In your office."
Mulhall swore that J. II. McMIchael,
one time chief page of the house, came
to see him in Baltimore to get $100 and
was to give half of It to representative
McOcrmott of Illinois. He testified that
McDermott later claimed that he got
only 20.
Mulhall later wrote the manufacturers'
officials about fixing things.
"What success did you have?" askud
Senator Nelson.
"Absolute failure."
Mulhall finally testified that Repre
sentative McDermott and McMIchael,
chief page, were about tho only persons
from whom he expected to get Infor
mation and who would help. him In fix
ing things."
In another letter to Bird, Mulhall spoke
of on "Interview" with Representative
Upderwood. Ho explained that the ma
jority leader merely replied to his ques
tlons. Passenger Train

WASHINGTON, July M.-Uomocrats of
tho house banking and currency commit
tee agreed today to allow themselves
two weeks more of wrungllng over the
administration currency bill. Two wcekB
from today a democratic house caucus
will receive tho measure.
The democratlo committee members
voted to authorize the chairman to "ask
for a caucus of tho party to bu callod
on August 11, to act upon such a re
port oh the pending currency bill an will
then be made." Further than this, the
members directed the chairman to .nnko
public no details of what took placa at
the meeting.
Tho supporters of the administration
bill, having failed in weeks of discussion
and argument to win over three or four
opponents of tho measure among tin;
democrats of the committee," have decided
to proceed without them and allow those
dissatisfied with the measure to carry
their fight to tho houso caucus. This
will throw Into the caucus the entire
fight oer tho so-called insurgent amend
ments providing for "cotton, corn and
wheat and currency," as framed by Rep
resentative Henry of TeSaVi and Repre
sentative Ragndale oi " South Carolina.
Those amendments, with the other In
surgent proposition, undoubtedly will be
voted down by the conference of the
committee members by about, eleven to
three. This vote would riot bo sufficient
to overcome the vote of. the Insurgent
democrats and the minor members In tho
full committee. Therefore the measure
will bo taken directly to the caucus.
Today's entire session of the confer
ence was .spent in a discussion of whether
the proceedings of tho meetings should
be made, public. After considerable argu
ment the conference refused to allow the
debate, to bo made public. It then was
voted to enjoin secrecy as to the pro

Weeding Out Weaker
Churches in South
Dakota is Started
MITCHELL, 8. D., July 28. The Con
gregational and Presbyterian churohes of
the state are getting together on a basis
for moro effectlvo service In church work
by forming a union of churches wherever
the situation Is such that It Is a diffi
cult problfm and a burden to maintain
the two religious lorganlzatiohs. Com
mittees weVe recently selected from the
church bod'fes to hold a Joint meeting
and discuss and agree upon principles
which shall govern under these con
ditions In the future. A meeting wan
held In this city Saturday afternoon,
which was attended by Rev, William
Wallace of Sioux Falls, district superin
tendent, and Rev.JEdward Van Rusclien
of PUnklnton. representing the Pres
byterian church, and Rev. Pearse Pinch
of Huron, and Rev. F. V. Stevens of
Yankton, of the Congregational body.
Tho agreement reached Is to the ef
fect that where one of the churches is
being maintained successfully, and the
other Is Invited to open a now church,
that no step will be taken without first
having a full and frank conference with
district or state authorities of the church
occupying the field to secure their con
sent and co-operation In effecting- the
change.
This Is further emphasized by tha
agreement that when tho sfate or district
officials realize that the Work of either
church In a community Isbecomlng less
effective, then theyi may Invite the other
church .to come into tho field and try
to Improve the conditions, the basis be
ing a union of tho two churches, the
weaker going to the stronger.
At IVlanklnton at the present time a
union of churches Is being made whereby
tha Presbyterians will take over the
Congregatlonallsts, the latter having been
weakened by the removal of some of Its
members, and many new Presbyterians
have mdved In. In this way the one
church will be much more effective than
the two.

Heir of Burns Will
Claim Manuscript
LONDON, July 28. A new turn has
been given to the protests emlnatlng from
Scotland against the recent action of tho
Liverpool Athenlum In selling the to
called Glenriddell manuscripts of the
poet Burns, the purchase being under
stood to have been made Indirectly by nn
American millionaire. J. C. Ewlng, onp
of the acknowledged authorities upon
Burns' works hss raised the point that
the Glenrlddel manuscripts were loaned,
not Riven, to Dr, Currle, who later Pre
sented them to the Athenlum. Mr.
Evring declares that Dr. Currle obtained
tho loan of the manuscripts tn 1797 when
he arranged to write the life of the poet
and edit his works, but he never re
turned tht papers to the widow, On this
assumption, It la understood that the
Burns' federation and the Burns' clubs
of tha United Kingdom may test the
legality of the sale of the manusorlpts
by getting Miss Annie Bums of Chellon
hall, who Is a direct descendent of the
poet, t(j set forth her claim.

Needs for the
Youngsters
The children these hot dayi
need particular attention in
food, clothing and other things
to keep them sound and
healthy.
Little things that add to their
every day and every night com
fort omust be had.
Where to got them Is not al
ways a question easily an
swered until an advertisement
In The Bee offers the solution.
Science is constantly at work
devising things for the improve
ment of humanity, and often thesa
things, amazingly simple, may bs
had for a few cents, and some
druggist or other dealer heralds
the news to the world In an ad
vertisement. Advertising in The Pee is
more than the mere mention of
things for sale.
Advertising Is one of the
greatest boona ot modern
times.
