Kmery Does Double Dutj as Witness, Appearing Before House and Senate Commit tees in One Day. WASHINGTON, Aug. 6. How the National Association of Manufacturers "prodded" members of Congress to support legislation the association fa vored and opposed those who threat ened its interests was explained to the House lobby committee today by James A. Emery, general counsel for the as sociation. Emery was the principal witness of the day before the lobby investigators on both sides of the Capitol. He began a preliminary statement to the Senate committee of the objects and alms of the association and on the House side he concluded the identification of the 200 letters culled from the associa tion's files by the committee. Vlscussing the political activities of the association, Emery said that the body itself did not engineer Congres sional campaigns. The association kept track of the records of members of Congress, ho added, and when the time for their re-election came, noti fied its members in the indlvidunl dis tricts and the campaign work was done by the local members. Bartholilt 'Prodded.' Letter Says. A letter written by Emery to F. C. Schwedtraan, secretary to the presi dent of the National Association of Manufacturers, in 1910, commented on the fact that "Congressman Bartholdt was very effectively prodded from St. Louis" in connection with a vote on a rroposition to exempt labor unions from prosecution under the Sherman law. Members of the committee con ducted a rather lengthy examination to determine just the method of "prodding." The witness explained that letters and telegrams were started from the constituents of the Representatives HOUKht to be influenced by communi cating with the members of the asso ciation in his district.. Activities in relation to the Hughes amendment, the investigation of the Taylor shop management system by the House labor committee, the bill to allow the formation of unions among Government employes and various other legislative propositions, as well as the Interest of the association In th Presidential platforms in 1908, were outlined In the letters presented today. Civic Federation Funsht. P. C. Schwedtman, ex-Representative John W. Weeks, now Senator from Massachusetts: Henry R. Towne, of a New York manufacturing firm, and others figured in the documents. Mr. Schwedtman wrote John Kerby, president of the National Association of Manufacturers: "May the continuation of your cam paign bring about the thing which is most desirable at the present time in our economic situation that is, the downfall of the Civic Federation." The House committee excused Em ery for the present and he will con tinue his testimony on the Senate side tomorrow. SPOKANE CROPS PROMISING Estimated Value or Inland Empire Yield Is $00,000,000. SPOKANE, Wash., Aug. 6. (Special.) That the fruit and grain crops of the Inland Empire this year will amount in valuo to $90,000,000 is the opinion of R. Lewis Rutter, vice-president and manager of the Spokane & Eastern Trust Company. "The crops of the Inland Empire will be record-breakers this year. Our wheat, barley, oats, hay, apples and other products will bring the pro ducers $90,000,000, the best returns we have ever had." said Mr. Rutter. "This is especially- gratifying in view of the general sentiment favoring early marketing of the crops rather than holding them until later, which policy, running over a period of ten years, is better for the producer,," CABINET TO TAKE STUMP Administration Will Take Hand in Massachusetts Kisht.

He does not make them because he likes the rides, but to keep several hundred feet of lumber balanced in the air, so that the planks will not turn endwise and plunge to the street, and so that the load will reach the landing at the twelfth story, 175 feet above the street, "on .an even keel." If it did not reach the lofty landing in a horizontal position, it would be difficult to land. Maklehust climbs on the load after it has been placed in a looped steel cable and the wagon has been drawn from beneath it, and as the load rises in the air he keeps it level by shifting the weight of his body. Just before the above picture was taken yesterday he stood free on the load, slowly rotating as it rose, and waved both arms at the photographer. The lumber is used in laying forms for the concrete floor girders of the new building, which will be 15 stories high when completed and will cost J800.000. 4 CUPID'S AUTO WINS Couple Race From Portland to Vancouver to Wed.

BACHELORS ARE DIVIDED (Continued from pase 1.) who will be tried next week on simi lar charges, evinced great interest to day in the selection of the jury. They earnestly discussesd the qualifications of each prospective juror with, their counsel and were engrossed in every move of the prosecution. More than a score of witnesses awaited their call to the witness stand in the ante-room. The first witnesses to be called by the prosecution will be employes of the Southern Pacific, including ticket agents, porters and a conductor. With these the Government hopes to show that Diggs bought the Reno tickets for the eloping quartet and attended to the details of the trip until they regis-ered- at a Reno hotel, where they pre tended to be married couples. Women to Be Star Witnesses. Several Sacramento police officials and Martin Beaslej- uncle of Miss Warrington, who figured in the arrest of the quartet, will . then be called. Miss Warrington herself will follow. She and Miss Norrls are expected to prove the Government's star witnesses. Most of Prosecutor Sullivan's ques tions bore on whether prospective ju rors had daughters. The counsel for defense was curious only as to whether the jurors had sons. The objection which Diggs has shown to being photographed caused excitement at the noon hour, when a trio of newspaper camera men tried to snap him as he left the courtroom. Diggs, who had promised to pose for a picture, as he did yesterday, avoided the waiting photographers by fleeing from the courtroom through a side door and making his way to Mission street. Here he was overtaken by the three photographers, who surrounded him. He seized two of the men by the arms and, hiding his face between them, dodged the third man by using them as a shield. In the maneuvering a streetcar passed at the rate of 25 miles an hour. Diggs released the two camera men and made a dash for the car. He caught the rear end and was dragged 50 feet before he finally got his feet on the platform. CHURCH PENSION URGED FUND OF $7,000,000 WOULD BE NECESSARY AT START.
