PROMISE RENEWED
Manufacturers' Agent
Makes 'Revelations.'

Members of Congress Pun

BIG EXPENDITURES MADE
Sworn Statement Attracts Attention
of Senate Committee, Which
May Ask That Scope of In
quiry Bo Extended.
WASHINGTON. June 29. Further
sensations in the Senate's lobby Inves
tigation were foreshadowed today when
it became known that a subpena had
been served on Martin M. Mulhall of
Baltimore, reported to have been for
many years the active "field agent" and
lobbyist of the National Association of
Manufacturers.
The subpena was ordered by Chair
man Overman, of the lobby committee,
after representations had been made
to him that Mr. Mulhall was willing
and able to give the committee Im
portant facts regarding attempts to in
fluence legislation, to elect or defeat
candidates for Congress, and to control
the make-up of committees in Con
gress. A sergeant-at-arma of the Senate
served the subpena on Mr. Mulhall late
last night In Washington.
Many Names Are Given.
The nature and extent of the dis
closures that are expected were out
lined in an article published today, un
der the sworn signature of Mr. Mulhall,
in the New York World and the Chi
cago Tribune. The statement purports
to be Mr. Mulhall's personal history of
the report from 1903 to 1912 of the Na
tional Association . Manufacturers
and bristles with the names of members
of Congress who he alleges were "sub
servient," or who were punished for
their opposition to legislation favored
by the association. .
The allegations that he had helped
to defeat members of Congress who op
posed the interests of the manufactur
ers, that this organization had spent
thousands of dollars to elect members
of Congress expected to be sympathetic
to their influence, and that he had
aided in securing favorable members on
committees that handled labor legis
lation; and that his assistants had used
great efforts to secure the establish
ment of a Federal tariff commission in
1908, as a means of delaying tariff re
vision, are contained in the long ar
ticle, under Mr. Mulhall's name.
Committee Eipects to Act.
The facts alleged in the story of
legislative lobbying were not laid be
fore Chairman Ovtrman prior to their
publication. He declared today, how
ever, that the story was so circumstan
tial In detail that he expected the com
mittee to go to the bottom of the al
legations, and to uncover any new
angle of "Insidious lobbying" or "per
nicious" political campaigning that
might be disclosed.
The Mulhall article named manyfor
mer and present members of Congress
who were alleged to have been active
agents in support of legislation de
sired by the National Association of
Manufacturers. It specified employes
of Cong-ess who had been retained to
secure Information: and alleged that
even the page boys of the House of
Representatives were used to pick up
information about proposed legisla
tion. Personal Knowledge Asserted.
The writer said that he had spent
more than $200,000 In his lobbying
work; that he had conducted stato and
Congressional campaigns; helped to
break up labor unions; and had per
sonal knowledge of the extent to which
Influence exerted by his assistants had
swayed legislators and legislation.
Senator Overman declared tonight
that subpenss also would be Issued for
James A. Emery, representative of the
National Manufacturers Association at
Washington, whom the Mulhall article
designates as "chief lobbyist" for the
association at Washington and for ex
Representative Watson, of Indiana, re
ferred to in the Mulhall statement as
an "insidious lobbyist" for members of
the Manufacturers Association who
were leading the fight for a tariff com
mission in 1908.
He said the- committee would deter
mine at a meeting Monday, July 7.
whether to summon other Congress
men, ex-Congrcssmen and officials of
the National Association of Manufac
turers. More Power Desired.
"The lobby investigation has gone
far beyond its original scope," said
Chairman Overman today, "and I don't
see any course for us to pursue but
to ask for more power from the Sen
ate, and to go into every phase of the
remarkable situation that has been
developed.
"I was Informed that Mr. Mulhall
had information that bore directly upon
lobbying work at Washington, and ac
cordingly issued a subpena late last
night to serve on him before he left
Washington. Much of the statement
credited to him today bears on legis
lation in previous Congresses outside
the scope of the resolution under
which we are working.

OJEDA'S SLOTH IS OFFSET
Federals Make Up for Failure to
Advance.
MEXICO CITY. June 29. The failure
of Ueneral Ojeda to advance against
the rebels in Sonora, and the acquisl
tion of various towns, including Du
rango, capital of the state of Du
rango, during the past week, has been
offset, according to the Government, by
the recovery of a few places by the
Federals and by the work done towards
re-opening the railroads in the North.
Troops are supporting the workmen
and the National Railway has been re
paired within 70 miles of Saltillo and
north of Monterey to Vlllaldama, but
the activity of the rebels a short dis
tance on either side indicates that the
road will be cut behind the troops be
fore trains are operated.

GETTYSBURG, Pa.. June 29. Gettys
burg stepped 50 years backward today
into the history and looked again on an
army of Blue and an army of Gray,
meeting at her doorstep. From early
morning until long after sundown the
veterans in blue and gray trooped into
the little town which has slept peace
fully among its hills since Lee and
Meade turned their legions southward
long ago.
More than 30 special trains came into
the village during the day and thou
sands of veterans who tramped up
from the Shenandoah on their former
visit rode in comfort from Harrisburc
Baltimore and Washington. Instead of
the roar of guns that greeted them in
the other days they entered in the
quiet Sunday calm of a country town.
Only the flags flying from every win
dow, the city of tents in the distance
and the crowds told that Gettysburg had
come out of the usual, into the ex
traordinary once more.
Heat Endured Unflinchingly.
From the station of " the two rail
roads that enter the .village is a long
mile to the camp of 3000 tents where
the veterans are housed.. Thousands
shc-uldered suitcases and walked under
a scorching, cloudless sky. Several suc
cumbed before they found their tents.
There was no complaining, however.
Every possible arrangement for the
comfort of the united armies' has been
made. The camp of brown Army tents
is under the direction of officers of
the Regular Army. The streets of
Gettysburg are under the scrutiny of
the Pennsylvania constabulary, and for
the care of the sick the Red Cross has
made extensive preparations.
The camp Itself lies on ground that
has been baked as hard as a brick and
dried Into dust by winds that sweep the
bills, but its sanitation. Its water sup
ply, and Its plan for the feeding of
thousands of men, have been made with
the utmost care.
The tents fall westward . with the

POLICE CLASH WITH WOMEN
Unsuccessful Attempt Made to
Capture Cabinet Ministers.
SCRIMMAGES ARE FIERCE
Suffragette, by Plea That Mother
Is Being Killed, Incites Big
Crowd to March in Body
on Homes of Officers.
LONDON, June 29. Miss Sylvia Pank
hurst, daughter of Mrs. Emmallne
Pankhurst, the suffragette leader, led
an attacking party to Downing street
this afternoon for the purpose of Im
prisoning the Cabinet Ministers. The
expedition was unsuccessful, but the
victory of the police was not won with
out a series of fierce scrimmages, in
which both policemen- and women were
Injured.
Miss Pankhurst appeared at a demon
stration in Trafalgar Square in favor
of free speech. She denounced the
Right Honorable Reginald McKenna,
the Home Secretary, for 'killing my
mother." Then she invited the crowd
to go to Downing street and "Imprison
the Ministers In their own'houses."
Police Cordon Assailed.
The police, however, had been ap
prised of the intentions of the demon
strators and had thrown a strong cor
don around Downing street. Dock
workers in the attacking party tried to
break through and some of the women
went to their aid, but were severely
handled.
In the fighting the women were
thrown to the ground and the dockers
clubbed." Many were arrested. - Finally
mounted police dispersed the crowd.
The incident which led to the out
break was Miss Pankhurst's objection
to a resolution put to the meeting be
cause it contained no direct reference
to votes for women.
"The men on this platform," she said,
"have refused to put the question of
women's vote In' the resolution. That
just shows you what democrats ' tney
are."
Big Throng; Answers Appeal.
Then pointing toward Downing street
she continued:
"The ministers are just a handful of
greedy cowards. They don't all go for
week-ends and we could imprison them
in their houses even this afternoon if
we went down there. What are you
going to do?"
Cheers greeted this speech and there

ting Into line. Between 1000 and 2000

PALMS WILL CASE IS UP
Family Contesting Bequest of $5 00,
000 Estate to Friend.
LOS ANGELES, June 29. (Special.)
Before the Superior Court of Pima
County, Arizona, tomorrow will come
the application of Nat E. Plummer for
letters of administration on the estate
of William J. Palms, of Detroit, who
was a resident of Tucspn for some time
before his death. The fortune left, es
timated at nearly $500,000, was devised
mainly to Mrs. Vera Brabb, who, he
said, was kind and who tried to lift
him up.
To Arthur J. Lacey, a Detroit lawyer,
was given $47,000 as fee for drawing
the will. These bequests and the will
generally are to be contested by Palms'
brothers and sisters of Detroit. They
were especially named in the will as
being omitted from any share of the
estate, owing to the fact that they al
ready were well provided for.
The family fortune came from the
estate of the children's father and
grandfather. Palms died of pulmonary
disease' after a tempestuous career.
Later he had stopped drinking, this
change and others of benefit having
been ascribed by him to the influence
of Mrs. Brabb.

Conference was opened yesterday after
noon in the Multnomah Stadium, with
10,000 people standing massed in the
grandstand of the stadium and the sec
tions about the speakers' stand, join
ing their voices in the National anthem.
The threatening weather which be
gan to manifest itself In a slight sprin

grandstand were filled long before the
hour of opening the Conference.
Voices of Thousands Fill Air.
When Professor Boyer, director of
the music for the Conference, raised his
baton In signal to his choir and tho

of thousands, whose mingled voices,
even In the open, made the air thrill
and tremble like the powerful notes of
a pipe organ.
In the Impressive pause that followed
the close of thl3 opening anthem, tho
Rev. Henry Collin Minton, of Trenton,
N. J., president of the Conference, called
forward Dr. It. C. Wylle, of Pittsburg,
to open the programme with a scrip
tural reading.
Dr. Edwin H. Delk. of Philadelphia,
gave a short invocation, closing with
the Lord's Prayer. In this the audience
again lent its voice and the closing
lines of the invocation rang with the
sonorous thunder of blended voices of
men, women and children like the
tones of some noble old chant.
Governments Kxtesd Welcome.
Representatives of the United States
Government, of the State, of the county
and of the city, were on the platform
and each. In behalf of the people and
power of which he was representative,
extended to the delegates of the World's
Christian Citizenship Conference a wel
come. "With especial sincerity do we extend
our welcome," said Governor West, "be
cause this is a Conference looking to
ward constructive efforts to remedy,
evils which beset human society. We
have been spending millions of dollars
for penal and eleemosynary institu
tions, where we have been spending but
little for the remedy of the conditions
which make necessary such institutions.
"From this Conference which opens
here with a representation which is
world-wide and with a definite pur
pose to seek a solution for these prob
lems, we may expect constructive work
to be accomplished, and to it we offer
our heartfelt welcome."
Religions) Liberty Traced.
Judge C. E. Wolverton, of the Ore
gon District of the United States Court,
speaking In behalf of the United States
Government, traced the development of -the
idea of religious liberty to its high
est state under the free institutions
of America, until Christianity has
brought about a liberty "more potent
and more pervasive than all other re
ligions, and has builded a world-wide
brotherhood that makes for righteous
ness and better things."
"Christian citizenship, so broadly dis
persed as it is," he said, "Is gathering
