MUCH SECRECY OBSERVED Witness Says Marshall Cashing Re signed Rather Than Tell What He Did With Money In IAU tlefleld Campaign. WASHINGTON', Auk. 7. The internal workings of the National Association of Manufacturers were explained to the House lobby committee today by James L. Ewell, formerly manager of a trade publication issused in connec tion with the organization. The witness "went at great length into several in ternal dissensions that disturbed the organization and attacked rather bit terly some of its officials, particularly -1. P. Bird, who he declared treated him unfairly in discharging him from the employ of the association. Little of ISwell's testimony bore on the legislative activities of the asso ciation, although he did describe two conversations between Mr. Bird and Colonel Martin M. Mulhall, at which he was present. Itlulliall Short of Money. "On one occasion," 'he said, "I know there was a tremendous fight on In the district of Representative Hughes, of New Jersey. I was talking to Mr. Eird when Mr. Mulhall came Into the room. In his characteristic way he ehouted: 'Well, I could have done bet ter if I had more money. I didn't have enough money. There were plenty of JDemocrats over there and I didn't have enougli money to buy them. I think I did damn well with the money I had, don't you?' " On another occasion Ewell said he heard Mulhall demand $2500 from Bird "for work tn Washington." Bird prom ised him the money, the witness de clared. Ewll told the committee of the cir cumstances of the resignation of Mar shall Cushlng as secretary of the Na tional Association of Manufacturers. He said that Cushlng declined to tell the officers and directors the details of the expenditure of money in a cam paign to re-elect Representative Lit tieneld, of Maine. Cnahlns Keeps Details Secret. "They wanted to know just what he M1 with the money he had." said Kwell. "He said that he thought that It wouldn't do him or the directors any eood j( he told them. He told me he vent the limit to secure Littlefield's election. Ho wouldn't tell the direc tors, so he resigned." Discussing the dismissal of K. A. Cooley and the appointment of F. F. Porter, in charge of the association's campaign for membership, Ewell quoted Cooley as saying that Porter could get the money, but that he didn't like his tactics. The committee wants to find Cooley and probably will call him later. Robert McCarter, for the National Association of Manufacturers, ques tioned Ewell about an unsuccessful suit which he prosecuted against the National Association of Manufacturers for $1500, which he asserted was due him when he was discharged. "I lost the suit through the false testimony of Mr. Bird and his counsel, A. Parker Nevin," he snouted, and the commitee cut off that line of examina tion. On the Senate side the committee continued Its examination of James E.

The Commercial Club of Pom eroy will recommend that this route be used in the building of the Wash ington State Highway between Spokane and Walla Walla, which was author ized by the last Legislature. "For scenic beauty the route fe have established cannot be surpassed," said Mr. Tupper. "It follows the beautiful Deadman Valley for miles and enters the Snake River canyon at a place where the view is beyond description. "The route has been located along the hillsides wherever possible, to avoid the excessive Summer heat of the lowlands and the cold winds which rake the hills in Winter."

' POSTMASTER IS WANTED Heppner Citizens Complain That Ad ministration Sacrifices Public. HEPPNER, Or.. Aug. 7. (Special.) Citizens here are at a loss to know why the present Administration has not disposed of the postmastership at this place, as it is of considerable impor tance as an appointive office. As this delay has developed political differences of long standing in the Democratic party. there is a belief among those supposed to know that there will be no disposition made un til after the qualifications of five or six applicants have been examined and the reason discovered lor so many dif ferent recommendations. The hope is generally expressed that there will be some decision made soon Riving those not interested from a political standpoint a fair amount of consideration.

Warren of Wyoming Says Underwood Tariff Bill Forces Competition on Farmer and Taxes Him on His Purchases. WASHINGTON, Aug. 10. Democrats made slow progress today in advancing the new tariff bill. An opposing speech by Senator Warren, Republican, a sharp debate between Senators Stone and Lip- Pitt over the making of the Payne- Aldrlch tariff law, and attack by Sen ator Sherman on provisions of the met al schedule took up much of the day. Senator Sherman opposed the 15 per cent rate on carwheels in the bill, say ing it meant ruin to American manu facturers for the benefit of those in England and Germany. Reviewing ex ports of wheels from this country last year, he said: "Not a dollar's worth was exported to China in 1912, and it is reasonable to suppose that not a dollar's worth will be exported, in 1913. Instead of dollar diplomacy in the Far East, with thousands of dollars .worth of goods sold there now, we have grape Juice diplomacy and the Bale of nothing." LIppItt'a Activity Recalled. Senator Stone brought up the ques tion of who furnished the facts for the cotton schedule of the Payne-Aldrich bill. He quoted at length from a speech in May, 1909, of the late Senator Dol liver in which it was charged that Sen ator Lippitt not then in public life had come to Congress representing the New England cotton men with the statement that they wanted no in creases and had gone way with mate rial increases. "According to the declaration of one of our great war leaders, 'war Is hell," " said Senator Warren, discussing the ag ricultural schedule. "This never has been denied, and therefore I beg the liberty of saying that this bill is to be indeed hell, so far as the farmer of the Northwest is concerned. Farmer Taxed Two Ways. "About everything he has to sell, the use of his capital and labor, the prod uct of both, with but few exceptions, must meet the competition of the world with its cheap, peon, pauper labor, while everything he has to buy, barring certain occasional purchases, is taxed." Alluding to declarations of the Dem ocrats that the Republican Senate lead ers, through their tariff speeches, were trying to bring on a panic. Senator Warren said: "Sometimes, when one doubts the suc cessful outcome of a proposed enter prise or policy, he throws out hedges in the way of straw men or bogey men, laying the blame beforehand on the other fellows for what he -fears might happen to his policy. Can it be possi ble that our Democratic friends are thus hedging?" An amendment for an "anti-dumpinsr clause" to replace the provision struck out by the finance committee was in troduced by Senator Penrose. The pro vision would prevent foreign countries irom dumping" surplus sroods in the United States at low rates. SUSPECTED PAREfJTGONE BAKER EXGIXEER THOUGHT TO BE MISSING FATHER.

WASHINGTON REGENTS ACT Thorwald Siegfried Also Unable to XTse College Grounds for Pub lic Address and Progressive League Takes Issue. SEATTLE. Wash., Aug. 7. The board of regents of the University of Washington today refused to permit Emma Goldman, the anarchist, to de liver a series of lectures on the uni versity campus In this city. Miss Goldman's advance agent, in requesting permission for her to speak on the campus, said that she had been unable to rent a hall in .which to speak because owners feared the threats of Spanish-American War veterans. The regents also declined to permit further Sunday meetings of the "open forum" for the discussion of economic subjects on the campus. The request of the Socialists to be permitted to present their drama, "The Colonel and His Friends," in the university auditorium was likewise re fused. The regents voted not to per mit an address by Thorwald Siegfried, a single-tax leader, on the campus. Declaring the resolution adopted by the board of regents to restrict freedom of 'speech on the university campus ought to be condemned by every public organization as well as every private citizen, the executive committee of the King County Pro gressive League adopted resolutions protesting against such a policy on the part of the regents and requesting Governor Lister to Investigate the act of the board in its attempt to restrict freedom of speech. "And we believe," continues the res olution, "that if the Governor cannot obtain a reversal of the resolution re ferred to he should take steps to pro cure a board of regents that would sympathize more with progressive principles." Referring to the many meetings ot the open forum held since May "11, when the organ of public discussion was established, "which, so far as can be ascertained, have been not only or a harmless, but also of a valuable character," the resolutions of the Pro gressive executive committee say: "The seriousness of the act of the board of regents lies, however, not in Its attempt to suppress this apparently harmless institution the open forum but in the adoption by the board or the policy of repression a policy which is advocated by so many as the proper method of dealing with the I. WT. W. and' Socialist organizations." picking the unusually large crop. It is expected the crop will be greater than in previous years.

Keen interest was manifest among the bankers in the reports offered by the various committees and officers of the association. All of the speakers denied the charge that bankers are a cold-blooded, heartless class of citizens, as generally characterized, and the hu man side of their lives were given hearing. This sentiment was emphasized in a short talk given by W. H. Martin, vice president, of Ritzville, in his address, for which he selected a verse from the Bible on which he based his remarks: "Be not deceived; Go is not mocked. Whatsover a man soweth, that shall he reap." Mr. Martin pointed out that the banker must look to doing some good in the world along with his work of conserving and accumulating wealth. William G. Edens, assistant secretary of the Central Trust Company, of Chi cago, and president of the Illinois Highway Improvement Association, aroused the enthusiasm and support of the bankers in his address on "Ad vanced Agriculture, Education and Good Roads."
