and exhaustive plans. Prof. Jackson

Huffman secretary of the meeting.
While both purposes of the meet
ing were important, more interest cen
tered today in the address on fire
blight by Prof. Jackson.
Prof. H. S. Jackson, plant patholo
gist for 0. A. C., who has been spend
ing the greater part of tins week in
insnectinir the orchards of the Grande
Ronde valley looking into the fire
blight situation, was one of the prin
cipal speakers, before the gathering
of fruit men,
W K. Newell, nreaiffanf nt th efatJ
board of horticulture, came to the!
valley with JProf . Jackson and spent
Tuesday here. Both Mr. Newell and
Prof. Jackson have gone on record as
convinced that there is absolutely no!
doubt that the disease is the true fire;
blight and that the situation is a seri-i
ous one and demands immediate action '
if the fruit growers of the valley ex-J
pect to maintain their orchards profit-
k'v nd to hold the nresent reputation;
of the valley as a fruit district.
1 Prof. Jackson has no official connec
tion with the state board of horticul
ture or with state inspection work but
is interested in the proper control of J
all plant diseases in all Darts of the;
state and came here in the interest of,
that the fruit inspectors cannot be
expected to do all the cutting out.
That must be done by the grower. He
must be instructed how to do it prop
erly. The fruit inspector can check on
the work after it is done and also look
after those who, through neglect or
lack of appreciation of the situation,
will not do the work. The present
state horticultural law is sufficient to
handle such cases. Atfer due notice
has been served the inspector can
either go in and cut out such trees
entirely or have men to cut out the
blight and charge it to the property
Such methods should never need to
be used however. Public sentiment
should be so aroused that every one
will take pride in seeing that the work
is done oroperly without being forced.
The department of plant pathology
of the Oregon Agricultural college of
which fror. Jackson is the head, will
be glad to do anything in its power to
aid in tms matter.

mittee positively refusing to release
Mulhall to the house probers. '
Must Hold Mulhall.
Overman's letter to Chairman Gar
rett reviewed the circumstances of the
house subpoenaing Mulhall last night
and added: "It would be obvious tc
you that we are obliged to hold, the
witness until our examination is com
pleted at which time we will be glad
to release him, subject to subpoena by
you, and I will make available upon
your order any .and all papers which
are now or which may come into our
possession connected with the matter."
Mulhall Identifies Letter.
Mulhall identified a letter from
Marshall Cushing, secretary of the
Manufacturers' association, written in
1904 and the accompanying check for
f iOO. Cushing warned Mulhall to "Be
careful in cashing" the check. The
witness said the money was used in
"close congressional districts."
Aldrich and Foraker Knew.
Mu'hall stated positively that for
mer Senators Aldrich and Foraker.
both of whom he had worked for,
knew at all times he was employed by
the manufacturers although he had a
Workmen's Protective association
card.
In 1903, Mulhall said: "I left the
union to which I belonged and took
with me my paid-up union card. I
didn't try to hide it from the heads
that I was with - the Manufacturers'
association and was under the im
pression that officers of the Ameri
can Federation of Labor knew I was
working for the Manufacturers' asso
ciation. ... .
Mulhall Received $40 a Week.
In September, 1904, Cushing wrote
Mulhall that hereafter he would re
ceive every Friday, a check while he
retained his connection with the
Workmen's Protective association, an
organization he had formed to work
for the republican tict Cushing
sent him $100 weekly beside $40 for
expenses, Mulhall testified. At that
time, Mulhall said, the manufacturers
were fighting Senator McComas of
Maryland and Cushing employed C.
M. Downs the senator's private sec
retary to furnish the Manufacturers'
association with copies of McComas
nrivate correspondence.
