UNDERWOOD CALLS MULHALL
Minority Leader Says Lobbyist is a
Liar and Blackmailer.
DENIES HE HAD ANY INTERVIEW
Mulhall Insists thnt Hp Tnlkrd rrlth
Chairman In Corridor unit that
the Fact Will Come Ont
nt Iteariwr.
WASHINGTON, July 29.-Jdartln M.
Mulhall told the senate lobby committee
that at one time he proposed an Investi
gation of hts activities as a lobbyist for
the National Association of Manufactur
er to former Chairman Wilson of the
labor committee. Speaker Clark and Re
publican Leader Mann and that all turned
down his proposal.
Mulhall testified he made his proposal
to Wilson, now secretary of labor, per
sonally and to Clark and Mann In a
letter through Representative McDermott
of ttUnols. He testified he had offered
his correspondence to Samuel Gorapers,
t president of the American Federation of
Lubor and that Gompers had declined.
"Were the letters or their substance
laid before Mr. Wilson?" asked Senator
Walsh.
"1 gave Mr. Wilson an understanding
of what I had," repUed Mulhall.
Didn't Wnnt It to Come Up.
Speaker Clark and Mr. Mann. Mulhall
said, would not have the matter "come
up."
"Did you have a talk with either?"
Risked Senator Cummins.
"No, sir."
"Did you offer to soil them to Gom
pers?"
"No I offered to give them."
Mulhall went briefly Into the story of
Ills separation from the National Associa
tion of Manufacturers late In Mil. Ho
disagreed with his superiors about his
participation In the campaign In Maine, in
- which, he swore, tho United StateB Brew
ers association had paid hla expenses.
Ills resignation followed a rebuke by the
executive board of manufacturers. The
manufacturers, he said, wanted to keep
out of liquor fights. Mulhall explained
he thought Watson wis trjtng to get his
place with the, manufacturers and that

Underwood Uses Ilnrsli Ttrmi.
Majority Leader O. W. Underwood, of
the house, today denounced Martin M.
Mulhall, alleged lobbist for the National
Association of Manufacturers, as "a liar
and a blackmailer." Mr. Underwood ap
peared, before the senate lobby committee
to deny that Mulhall had ever talked to
him about legislation before congress.
After one look at the witness he sold:
"I never saw him before In my life."
"I think," said the majority leader,
"that It Is In tho interest of tho public
that a man who has taken liberties
with public men, as this man has, should
be contradicted. I regard a man of this
kind as a blackmailer. That man has
never been In the ways and means
committee room since r have been chair
man. He may have had conversations -with
me, but when he says he had an
Interview, I want to say that statement
is a lie. '
Mr. Underwood appeared unexpectedly
'and mude a brief statement before he
was sworn. Ho denounced as false
Mulhall's statement that an employe of
the ways and means committee had been
In his employ. According to Mulhall's
earlier testimony, the man was paid $20
a month.
"You made the statement that this
man was a blackmailer; that means he
used threats to extort money," said
Senator Reed.
"I think he was trying to get money
out of his own people," returned Mr.
Underwood.
Chairman Underwood read Mulhall's
letter about ' the alleged Interview In
which Mulhall wrote that Underwood
had told him that he could not do other
wise than appoint William B, Wilson,
now secretary of labor, chairman of tho
house labor committee because there
was. no other candidate betore the ways
and means committee.

Rebellion Against
Republic of China
Spreads to Hu-Nan
PEKING, China. July . The province
of Hu-Nan seceded from the Peking gov
ernment on July 35, according to a consu
lar report Just received here. The
strength of the Hu-Nan forces at present
on the bonier of tho province of Huh.
PMi Is variously reported at from 1,600 to
8,000 men.
General Ltcun-Heng, vice president of
the republic, who is conducting opera
tion In centml China from Wu-Chang,
declared recently thnt his forces were
capable of dealing with the revolt In both
Ktang-Sl and Hu-Nan, but today's re
ports announce the defection of a small
body of troops on the Han river above
Wu-Chang.
It Is Impossible to draw a border line
between the rebellions of the loyal prov
inces, for many cities In the rebel prov
inces declare themselves loyal and some
of the cities In the loyal provinces have
gone over to the rebels. It Is known,
however, that Important rebel forces are
operating In the provinces of Klang-Su,
Klang-SI, Ngan-Hwel, Hu-Nnn, Go-Klen
and Kwang-Tung.
Four of the southern provinces, Kwel-
Chow, Kwang-Si, Yung-Nan and Che
Ktang, although surrounded by secoders,
remain loyal, but Ho-Nan, In the north, I
Is bolieved to bo loyal only because of Its
geographical position.
In the meantime active hostilities con
tinue on borders of Mongolia and Tibet
and also In the westernmost provlnco of
Slh-Klang or Chinese Turkestan.
Democrats Prepare
to Demote Veterans
in Pension Bureau
WASHINGTON. July 29.-A sharp fight
In congress Is threatened as the result
of all alleged demotions In the penMon
bureau. In which many old soldiers are
said to have been the sufferers. Repre
sentative Austin of Tennessee has of
fered a resolution In the house calling on
Secretary Lane of the Interior department
for Information concerning the alleged
shakeup, and especially as to whether
civil service rules are being violated.
The activity of tho republicans Is said
to be based on the report that when
Pension Commissioner Saltzgaber returns
to his post there wilf be further and more
sweeping changes Acting Commissioner
Tllman Is reported as saying that. In the
general reorganization, employes with
democratic affiliations and beliefs will
be given preference on the ground that a
working force In sympathy with the ad
ministration Is necessary to satisfactory
work.
Denial was made by Mr. Tieman, how
ever, that political faith would be the
prime requisite. Personal worth and of
ficial record of secvlco, he said, would
likewise carry weight.
Thus-far the matter has not been taken
before the cvlc service commission. John
A. juclllhenny, president of the com
mission, ' declared that no "representations'
had been made to him.
Price of Corn Rises
2 Cents on Reports
of Drouth Damage
CHICAGO, July 29. Sensational lower
ing of crop estimates owing to damage
from drouth and heat, brought about a
rush of buying today In the oorn trade.
The result was to put up prices 2 ,
cents a bushel. Profit taking by holders
caused no Important setback, the market
absorbing all offerings in a manner that
seemed almost ravenous.
All hope of 3,000,000,000 bushels of corn
this season appeared to have been
abandoned. Instead, experts talked of
2.675,000,000 bushels to 2,700,000,000 bushels,
with a possibility of a drop to as short
a total as 2,500.000,000 bushels.
Excited purchasing carried prices yet
higher before the final gong cleared the
brokers from the pit, which had been
crowded throughout the day. The sharp
est advance was In the December option,
which at one time showed a net advance
of J!i33c a bushel, at 63g63Kc The close
for December, however, was at 62Ho.

Orr Lim Attacked.
This lav. It Is stated, prohibited the
use of the same rate by two or more
componles, for the use of tne same rate
by two or more companies was mado
prima fade evidence of a felonious agree
ment to fix and maintain such rate.
"The Insurance business Is of such a

which go to determine the extent of haz
ard of lots by fire.
"Often the Insuranco on the same prop

and so rates of Insurance tend toward
a level and are generally tho same with
all companies as to tho same class of
risks, the companies fixing such rates
without any agreement between them
to maintain tho same."
After a conference between Governor
Maor, Attornoy General Parker nnd Vice
President Humsey of an eastern Insur

panies, to sign an agreement and that he
would not sign any and declared that
neither Governor Maor nor himself hud
promlsced anything to the companies
that nad not been promised heretofore.

The Real
Trade-Mark
And how mauy millions oC
saloa ouch day result from
newspaper advertising?
The thought Is stupendous In
Its far-reaching Importance.
Tho nowspaper brings tho
manufacturer's wares to public
attention; It brings tho cus
tomer to the store, and It
causes tho store to sell to tho
customer.
Without the newspaper there
would be no buyer, and with no
buyer, naturally no trade.
So you seo what a force the
newspaper Is In making up the
elements of a bargain.
When you pick up your copy of
THE BEE and read over the ad
vertisements give this subject
thought.
Note how close THE DEB
brlnga you to the hot weather
offerings ot the different mer
chants. Note how THE BEE alda in re
ducing the high cost of living;
how It brings aomforts for body
and home within your easy reaclu
And while this newspaper
aids you It also helps the mer
chant, for advertising helps
him sell his goods.
