Sltuntlon Investigation
Not Trial.
WASHINGTON. July 3l.-Martln M.
Mulhall's cross examination by attorneys
for tho National Association ot Manu
facturers before the senato lobby com
mittee today opened with a lively row
between Senator Reed and Attorney
Kobert McCarter. McCarter Insisted on
aRklngquesttons himself; Senator Reed In
sisted that all questions should go
through the committee; Chairman Over
man ruled with Senator Reed.
McCarter precipitated tho outbreak by
asking Mulhall If he had not been dis
charged from the Cleveland police force
ten years ago for violation of a state
law. Mulhall replied he was dismissed
for political reasons and demanded
counsel.
"I was advised by friends to refuse to
answer," he said. "I want counsel. I
Insist on It and refuse to go on until I
have It. I'll go to Jail before I answer
questions about my personal -affairs
thirty or forty years ago."
"Instend of being designed to throw
llt'ht on this case, many of these ques
tions are designed to throw mud at the
witness," doclared Senator Reed. "This
Is an Investigation; not a trial. I Insist
you havo no right to say a word here,"
he concluded, addressing McCarter.
Mulhall withdrew his demand for coun
sel and the hearing proceeding with the
attorneys submitting their questions to
Chairman Overman.
CnIN It Vlclon Lie.
"Is It not true that Samuel II. Springer,
who resides at your house, tried to dis
pose of these letters to the Philadelphia
Press and the Philadelphia Record?" Mul
hall was asked.
"ItB a vicious He," ho shouted.
Mulhall denied that ho oyer pffered the
correspondence to two magazinos or to
the New York Times. Ho denfed having
made a Statement to Richard Harrv. mhn
avsJUMpresentlng him, that the Manufact
urer a association wouiu pay J150.000 for
the documents If they could not be dis
posed of to papers or magazines.
Mulhall denied that he agreed Barry
would sell tho letters to tho New York
World for UO.O00 and that ho would be
content with 35,000; but latter he testi
fied that at Barry's suggestion he did
agree. Ho never paid Barry.
"Have you published all letters between
you and the association?" asked Senator
Cummins.
"I believe I have not."
Pnyntents to Messentrers.
Mulhall swore thai payment of monthly
sums to J. II. McMlchael, one time chief
puge of the house: Harry Parker, mes
benger to the ways and means commit
tee, and the speaker's doorkeeper, were
made with the knowledge and consent of
J. H. Emery, counsel for the manufactur
ers. He testified that the payments be
gan In 1909 and ran through most of 1910
and 1311. Questions were designed to
show that Emery was on the Pacific coast
and In Europe many months in those
years. Mulhall contended that when
Emery was away tho three were not paid
and tho sums were made up later.
Mulhall swore that Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Federation of
Iabor and Jackson II. Ralston, attorney
for that organization, tried to secure the
letters he laid before the senate commit
tee more than a year ago. The commit
tee read a letter from Mulhall to John
Kirby, Jr., president of tho manufactur
ers, July 22, 1912, In which ho spoke of an
Interview with Gompers In Washington
and a telephone conversation with Ral
ston In Rnltlmore. He wrote Klrby that
he would "never sell out" to enemies of
tho association. Ralston, he swore, tried
hard to get the papers, but he refused to
elvo them up.
Mulhall previously testified that he of
fercd to give the papers to Gompers who
declined to take them.
Senator Nelson asked about a published
statement that Mulhall had spent 3200,
000 bribing voters and In lobby work. Mul
hall could not tell now Just how much he
had spent and thought $100,000 must he
a mistake. The lawyers asked If the to
tal of his expenditures was not about
000, but Mulhall said he did not know If
that amount was right.
The lawyers put In a letter Mulhall
wrote General Manager Bird, September
17, 1912, Raying Samuel Gompers, John
Mitchell and Frank Morrison, of the
American Federation of Labor, had got
ten a promise from President Wilson,
then governor of New Jersey, to support
Hughes for senator.
John G. Shreve, secretary to Congress

Detectives Working
on Jewel Theft Oases
Shadow Each Other
NAUltAGANSETT P1EK, R. i.. Ju'y !
These nro unhappy days for the chance
visitor hen, who does not bear on his
rerson refutation of tho suspicion- that
ho is one of the gang of thlv" who
robbed the homes of C. C. Hunuey and
John It, Hanan.
All about those who aro well known here
ore viewed with suspicion and" eomu of
tho amateur sleuths go so far ns to way
that a few residents will bear watclilun.
Tho usual number of midweek guests
has been nearly doubled by the iirnfctnc
of detectives nnd as these men represent
at leaBt thre on four competing agencies,
tho greater number aro not known to
each other. In one case two operatives
representing rival -agencies spent u whole
day shadowing each other.
Tho gaiety at tho Casino and other
places whero tho members of tho cotUgo
colony met today was subdued by the
knowledge that detectives wcie about.
Patrons spoke In whlsperB over their tea
cups and every stranger, whether man it
woman, was Immediately placed under
suspicion of being either detcctko or
Jewel thief.
Tho usual crop of Inside tips to tho
effect that arrests arc Imminent are
afloat, but those In authority say the
detectives aro no wiser as to tho Identity
of tho thieves who got away with $225 (C
worth of gems.
Mrs. Hanan was told by ono tf tho
detectives at Shore Acres that they hud
a clue, but he refused to tell the Idjntlty
of the person suspected.
Scientist Has Plan
to Kill Mosquitos by-
Musical Vibrations
ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., July Sl.-Tho
Atlantic County Mosquito commission,
which has been granted n J26.OO0 approp
riation by the Board of Free Holders to
rid the county of mosquitoes, may try
to lure the pests to death by musical
vibrations generated by electricity.
According to Information which tho
commission has received. Dr. L. O.
Howard of tho federal Department of
Agriculture has discovered that tho hum
it the mosquito, commonly attributed to
tho vibration of its wings, is inally
caused by air expelled during the process
of respiration. Dr. Howard learned that
this hum could be Imitated by electrical
vibrations, toward which mosquitoes pre
cipitated themselves as If drawn by a
powerful magnet. By attaching largo
strips of sticky fly paper back of tho
vibrating wires he perfected a deadly ex
terminator.
Dr. Howard Is noted In the Department
of Agriculture as an entomologist and Is
the author of several studies of mosquito
problems. The local commission has ad
dressed an Inquiry to him with the Idea
of adopting hs plan if It proves practical.

GR0NNA SPEAKS FOR FARMERS
North Dnkolan Attncka Proposed
Ilevnyie Lnvr front Standpoint
of Airrloultnrnl In
terests.
WASHINGTON, July 31. Democrats of
the senate who stand pledged to vote
for tho Underwood-Simmons tariff bill
listened today to one of their number
who has repudiated tho administration
meusuro because of tho fro sugar plank.
Senator Thornton ot Louisiana vehe
mently pictured tho ruin that free sugar
would bring to his state, denounced tho
policy of free sugar as undemocratic, and
characterized his party's action as a.
"pity" and a "shame."
"I am not false to tho principles of tho
democratic party," sold the Louisiana
senator, "In refusing to follow It along
tho strange and devious pathway it Is
now pursuing with regard to tho tariff
cn sugar. I am true to those principles
and It Is the democratic party Itself that
Is seeking to depart from them. I am
no traitor to tho democratic party, bo
cause loyalty to my state forbids me to
vote fo rthls bill In Its present form."
This first attack from within tho party
ranks was followed by another from tho
republican side, when Senator Gronna of
North Dakota Hssalled the measure from
the standpoint of the farmers.
Nearly tho entire time for discussion
of the bill was taken up with these ad
dresses and little progress was made In
consideration of the schedules. The
double attack did not sway the democrats
from their determination not to take up
time In general debate. The democratic
leaders still assert that they will con
tent themselves with brief opposition to
umendmcnts as they nro offered from
day to d&.y. Later Senator Bhtvcly of
Indiana plans to answer the arguments
und criticisms ot the minority.
Appeals j of tlie manufacturers for an
understanding between tho senate and
tho house as to the date when tho rates
on woolen manufactures aro to be made
effective have failed to bear fruit,
(ininnit Attncka I1IU,
Characterizing the democratic tariff
bill as neither fish, fpwl no.r herring-, "
a measure not -framed on scientific prin
ciples' ot either' free trade or protect Ton,"
and declaring It will not benefit the con
sumer because it will Injure If not de
stroy the producer, Senator Gronna, pro
gressive republican ot North Dakota, at
tacked tho measure.
"The great Industry of agriculture," ho
said, "Is again tho subject of an unjust
onslaught and discrimination. I call your
attention to the fact that In my state
alone, where In 1912 we raised mora than
KS.OCO.OCO bushels of wheat, with short
crops in foreign countries, under tho
provisions of the bill our farmers would
lose In a single year more than $15,000,000."
Senator Gronna declared that in dls
criminating against tho farmer tho demo
crats found themselves In the position ot
having two sets of reasons. Inconsistent
with each other, "using tho ono or tho
other as the occasion might seem to de
mand, and meanwhile they are attempt
ing to use both at tho same time. If the
removal of the tariff on farm products
Is going to give the consumer chnnper
foods," he declared, "then the tarlif on
those products gives tho producer a bet
ter market and the producer is benoflted
by it.
"On the other hand If, as should bo con
tended, tho tariff on farm products Is of
no benefit to the producer ot them. It
can only be because the tariff does not
Increase the price of those products; and
If It does not Increase the price then
where Is there any excuse for statin?
that removal of the tariff Is going t-)
benefit the consumer and glvs him
cheaper food?"
Discussing the countervailing duty pro
vision. In the bill on wheat and flour, Sen
ator Gronna said it Is of no value Insofar
as the farmer Is concerned.
Senator Simmons, chairman of tho
finance committee, anounced when re
publican senators read petitions asking
that somethnla be dons, that he would
confer with Majority Leader Underwood
ot the house, with a view to bringing
about an agreement. This he has done.
the result being that the house Intends
to stand firmly behind tho provision that
freo raw wool and the rates on woolens
shall become operative Immediately upon
the passages of the bill.
The senate bill proposed that raw wool
shall be free on December 1, 1913, and tlmt
the reduced rates on woolens shall be
come operative January 1, 19H.

He said In part:
"Perhaps tho greatest postal problem

This enlargement of Omaha's postoffto-)
Importance will be a direct outcome ol
tho new order eftectlvo August 15, re
ducing tho postage rate for parcels and
Increasing tho mailable size. The ter
minal will bo established and maintained
in connection with one of the railway
passenger stations.
In his remarks to the Commercial club,
First Assistant Postmaster General
Roper Incldenlly referred to tho need ot
parcel post terminals, and explained as
tho reason thot the high cost of space
In railway mall cars tnade it cheaper and
more economical to work and distribute
the parcel post mall at terminal stations.
It Is reliably ascertained that a com
mittee ot local postal officials has al
ready In hand provisional arrangements
for a terminal here, and are negotiating
with the Union Pacific to secure tor the
government a commodious work room at
the union station, which would be fitted
up with distributing equipment. The
Plan Is to havo the parcels carried as
through consignments between the ter
minal stations and broken up and re
consigned at these points. Parcel post
mall, for example, from the cast would
bo shipped direct In carload lots to
Omaha, hud hero reassembled und made-
Into new bulk shipments, or separated
Into small consignments to the offices In
the local territory
Thcro Is no estimate yet ot the number
of persons who would be employed at the

post business growing as it has, It would
be sure in time to rcqulro a large corps
of clerks.
