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federal aid would be withdrawn, and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,

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

that he hid nearly ' fallen into a

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.

surpnae that Roosevelt was stirring
up the Standard Oil matter, and said
“the President is playing very poor
politics".
“Ins’ead of gaining votes he will
find on the 3rd of November that it
will be a losing game," said the let
ter “Even the Standard Oil Com
pany has Us friends, and I can not
understand why a man of his stripe
will think It is a crime for a man to
honestly work for a corporation of
that kind."
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

Speech to Senate, Referring to Wall

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.

Senator Chilton of Weet Virginia had
read from the record a speech made
in the Senate by Senator La Toilette
during debate on the wool bill in
1911, in which the Wisconsin senator
said anybody wl^h any knowledge of
the subject knew that the Wilson hill
had nothing to do with the panic of
1893.
"I had that read,” said Senator
Chilton, "because Senator Thomas
has dug the grave of this argument.
Senator La Follette erected the tomb

Senator Smoot took the floor
“There is no doubt in my mind now,”
he declared, “but what the passage

working people of this country at

Secretary Bryan’s policy of lectur

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,
