Arizona is Also About to Lose Her Federal Assistance—Secretary Gar rison Is Right in Rehind the Slack Militin Companies Everywhere, Re gardless of States. The recent mix-up between Govern or Hlease and Secretary Garrison, of the United States war department, is the occasion for the following edi torial comment which appeared in the Washington Post: “Secretary Garrison's policy in urging governors of states to organ ize and develop the state militia in conformity with the Dick law gives promise of a shaking up that will do the militia establishment a world of good. The secretary's sharp note of warning to Govornor Hlease that un less the South Carolina militia ob served the provisions of the Dick law, federal aid would be withdrawn, and the governor's promptness in wiring that the law would be obeyed, has aroused general interest in the mat ter. and led to additional disclosure Hays Mulhall Was Not His Manager, Rut lias to Admit That Manufac- turem’ Agent Worked for Him. S. Wood McClave, Republican can didate for Congress in a special elec tion to be held In the Sixth New Jer sey district Tuesday, went to Wash ington Friday night and told the Sen ate lobby investigating committee that Martin M. Mulhall, late “lobby ist" for the National Association of Manufacturers, had perjured himself In his testimony before the commit tee. McClave denied emphatically that Mnlhall had raised or spent money for him, had managed his campaign, or had been his close companion and associate during his fight against William Hughes for the Sixth dis trict nomination in 1910. Mulhall, the witness swore, came unknown to him in his office in New York city in 1910, introduced himself and said he wanted to help him. “It looks as if you were going to get the nomination,” he quoted Mulhall as saying, “and I wanted to know how you stood on public questions.” McClave said be replied that he stood for protection and fair dealing to labor, and that Mulhall responded, “our organization stands for the RICH AND RACY MULHALL TELLS OF ATTEMPT TO BRIBE GOMPERS BEADS OTHER LETTERS of irulilT • •reni •• and ii.'irl* rt on t ho santo thine and wa nts to h.'lj yo n part of n a r \ s it ini 11.' add.m1 th if Mull: all ins: K'.'d "So n ni\ t is • i.o k o' 0.11. • rt r o upon t wo room• In Bat.r son as h . ad- that on! f * C> ( T th ■ sf a* .M, M ‘ hl- q nun prs.

Martin M. Mulhall Friday gave the Senate lobby investigating committee his story of the alleged effort in 1907 or 1 908 to bribe Samuel Gompers to desert the cause of labor and sup port the policies advocated by the National Association of Manufactur ers. Mulhall said he had been referred by VanCleave and Scliwedtman to Mr. Brownell, in New York, who claimed to be conducting a publicity bureau for the Association. Brownell told him, he said, that a man named Brandenberg was follow ing Gompers. that they had a plan fixed up by which they expected to “g< t ’ the labor leader; and that they were positive they could not fail. Mulhall saal he warned them they would no' succeed and later a l- ' ised \ anCleave to the same effect. VanCleave left N'evv York sudden ly. the witness said aft.-r telling him that he hid nearly ' fallen into a ‘rap" “He s.nd they wanted him to go down-town to meet those people, hut he got a tip not to go." added Mulhall He told me he thought Brownell had more sense than (o go Into trap of that kind ' I etters I lent ifled Friday covered a wile range o' .vMvt' but reared O ,.<•> about 'he campaign In In liana jin ’’o '* when Mulhall according to l he loc.jments was w .-king in clone • o .,.rat!“ti w'»h 'on*rew«rnan Jas F Watson ant » *h nat'i.nal and ’ » \ •• V a i t V i • • • •* # • - » f * v-V* # R '*• • k^ e » ' • R ’ 'A » y. • • " * 'i v - e * f ^ • e * R • » • r ; r f a • e e * ' • “ e f f K ew* r * R 1 » r • ' g ' “ f r ■! ’ « RR # »* 1 R * t - . . h # rmp* i‘ 1 #'•*•' * * * R ^ 1 # #• r * .« r • # * r t r# . » ^ • g R * r* • c ' • ( U ^ 'e't K • ' • : . » % ; i g • ' • ' • t % \ f k A S • c * ' » ' • ■ »* * ' 1t t. a ■ ** i>( mm r * * * r * f- x'r* % . ^ * f r- * t .J • * f r > W * » kn • '‘■a' c*r. not « w h v M' » ra.^ a ’. t ' g »• ^ t.

The Day of Large Shkp«. The Imperator is the last word In ocean steamships, but how long it may continue to be the last word Is uncertain. In size, structure, equip ment and furnishings It would seem to the average man that nothing can excel the Imperator. The descrip tion of her state rooms, saloons, palm rooms and other conveniences and luxuries reads like a chapter out of the Arabian Nights. And yet In all likelihood the Imperator will be as much out-distanced within the next three years as she has out-dis tanced the ships which before her advent held the palm. Probably the greatest advance l will be In size and structural efficiency, for other things being equal the larger the boat the cheaper relatively It can be sailed, and the greater the security for the passengers. A few years ago some people who posed as experts said that it would be Impossible for ships of any greater length to he constructed because, so they said, such a boat would break its hack. They seemed to forget that the water bouys up a ship evenly from stem to stern, If any limit Is reached In the size of a ship It will be due to insufficient harbor age and dockage. ♦ ♦ Rebel* Kill Mail Carrier.

The Citizen’s lindustrlal Associa tion of America, with C. W. Post as its president, and many officers of the National Association of Manufactur ers on its list figured prominently in Friday's proceedings. Several let ters on the stationery of this Asso ciation, and signed "James A. Emery, secretary,” were read and Senator Reed suggested it was a “half-broth- ed” to the 'Manufacturers’ Associa- tlod. One of the letters said "Watson was not only the greatest help to us personally but he represented all the forces that did help us, and I per sonally believe that w% need friends in Congress far more than anywhere else. Mr. Taft’s labor statements are not at all encouraging.” Mulhall went hack Friday to the campaign of 1908. Schwedtman wrote him on August 17 that year, he swore, that newspaper clippings, evi dently emanating from Democratic or labor union headquarters, stated that the National Association of Man ufacturers. as well aa the American Federation of Labor, was opposing Speaker Cannon. "Schwwdtman said he thought he ahoald writ* to tfc* Speaker that Mol- hall had deflalta Inatrartloos to glv* attention to the Speaker ■ district ahead of anything else,' and that the AneoHation would concentrate all It* energies in his favor if th*>re is the slightest occasion for it." Mulhall wrote the late Henry C. Ixiudenslager. secretary of the na tional Republican committee, on August 21. 1908, about help the Na tional Association of Manufacturers could and would give. He said: "We are doing active campaign work In New Jersey, in Pennsylvania dis tricts, and would be glad to aid In the Indiana district.” He added: “We have got workers covering several districts In New York and Maryland and have written to most every large city throughout the Union to our members for informa tion covering the districts In their section." Mulhall swore he believed the activity of the National Associa tion of Manufacturers swqng the election of Congressman Coudrey, in Missouri, In 1 908. Schwedtman wrote Mulhall on Au gust 26 about the situation in In diana, which he said was “very citi- oal”, and added “if we win, most of the credit will be due to your good work.” ‘‘Th!? Is appreciated by everybody that knows you, and if some of our political friends should forget it later on, 1 want to take a trip with you into Indiana for the specific purpose of laying these good people over our knees and giving them the kind of a spanking they onah to have. They must never forget what the National \ssori<vinn of Manufacturers Is do ing for them, through Its command ing political representative. Col.

PASSES SMITH’S BILL. Senate to Investigate Raise in Price of Jute Ragging. The senate Friday passed Senator E. D. Smith’s resolution ordering the department of commerce to make an investigation into the cause of the in crease of two cents a yard in the price of jute bagging within the past year. Senator Smoot and other Republi can senators objected to the inqury, saying there was no need for it, but the resolution was agreed to by a good vote. The department of com merce Is directed to proceed with the examination at once. It la estimated that the (ncreaae in the cost of bagging meant a tax of nearly $2,000,000 a year on the fanner* of the South.

Senator Thomas, Democrat, of Col orado, and member of the Senate finance committee, in a speech In the Senate Tuesday defended the Wilson tariff bill of 1893 from responsibility for the financial panic which follow ed it and charged former President Cleveland and the New York banks with conspiracy to precipitate a cal amity in order to force repeal of the Sherman silver act. Though denouncing the Wilson bill of that time as “a most miserable pretense of tariff reform,” he at tempted to clear its skirts and in the course of a vitriolic address branded the New York stock exchange as the most prodigious gambling hell of any age. Referring to threats now being made that “the enac tment of the Un derwood hill into law will tie a con gressional sentence of death to bus !'>' «■ prosperity, Senator Thomas re Iterated his rharge of the bankers' plot to bring on the panic of 1893 After reviewing Ita history he said "There can be no denial of the origin and purpose of this frightful mlamltv Mr Fleveland and the York banka conaplred to wreek the progreaa and prosperity of the nation 'hat they might b« rid of an unwelcome law The Wll*on law wa* the moat mis erable pretenee of tariff reform *T*r placed upon our etatute book* It wa* ertacerared by the Senate. agr*«*d '<> ’>» the Hou*e only b#<au*e It* long an 1 disgraceful aojoyrn through th* upper chamber had <1i*«u*’ed th# P~o; !e with the »erx thought of tar • rrb.rrr art repudiated by th* pr-*' dent a* a 'hlng fraught with p*r*T ;-erfldt and n*Monal dtabnnor Bit » re* rh #d aa It wa* It ran ; -at n. t guilty' to th# charge of b’lr g ng Jtaaater to the coun'ry He rr.lrwrd at length the hlatory 'n r Oeteland adB.'niatrat'.on of !" « r' r ..rt to repeal th# *!l*ef h||| • I -he man'pulallon* of Wall •trwwt • cl o'her banker* to bring on Iron b>* In order to fore* the laeu# I x**. rtfclr.g th# New York etork »i • ♦ an g * aa on* of th# ageockea in bringing on tb* panic Henntor Th* tr.aa re'erred to It a* the Monte ' *rlo of American finanew.

"I had that read,” said Senator Chilton, "because Senator Thomas has dug the grave of this argument. Senator La Follette erected the tomb stone, and I wanted him represented at the obsequies.” Senator Smoot took the floor “There is no doubt in my mind now,” he declared, “but what the passage of the Wilson bill was the means of bringing to this country a great d®al of th§ suffering that came to the working people of this country at that time and if conditions were the same now as then, I dj not donbt that the passage of the present tariff bill will bring the same result.” Senator Williams of Mississippi said the people at last had found out that the Republican argument that the 'Wilson bill brought on the great panic was & He.

Secretary Bryan’s policy of lectur ing in his vaeatio#time involved the Senate in a .bitter controversy Fri day. It began when Senator Bris tow, ignoring the defeat of his reso lution directed at Mr. Bryan’s action, insisted upon being heard in severe criticism of the Cabinet officer. Before the debate ended, chargee and countercharges between Sena tors on the two sides of the chamber had brought the Senate to a high pitch of excitement. Senator Ashurst produced an old letter of Senator Bristow's, which he declared indicat ed that Mr. Bristow in 1906 had been perfectly willing to take a Fed eral position and devote only part of his time to it. Senator Bristow retorted with the charge that Senator Ashurst had spent over $100 of public funds send ing private telegrams that should have been paid for from his own pock.-t, a charge denied by Senator Ashurst, but which Senator Bristow agreed to prove by producing orig inal telegrams that had been paid for out of Senate funds From these personal accusations, the debate went into the general field of public lecturing and writing, and Democratic Senators called at tention to the Chautauqua platform work of Senator Bristow and many others, and to the newspaper writing that Senator Bristow had done daring th# last Baltimore Convention.
