HOUSES CONTEND OVER WITNESSES Senate Keeps Posses sion of Mulhall. PAPERS CLOSELY GUARDED House Committee May Get Mc Michael as Compromise. 'SECRET WORK" REVEALED Mulhall Says on Stand Part of His Work .for Association Was to Take Part in Activities . of Labor. WASHINGTON, July 12. When Sen ate. and House lobby Investigators ad journed today for a Sunday's rest tte fight for possession of Martin M. Mul hall, J. H. McMlchael and other wit nesses was still In progress, with the odds strongly favoring Chairman Ova.. man and his Senate committee. Overtures of peace from both sides passed back and forth- by special mes sengers during the day, and at the lasj: exchange of courtesies -late this after noon It seemed certain the House In vestigators would have an opportunity to start work next week with McMl chael or some other witness,, provided they made a respectful request on the Senate committee for his production. Senate Plans Resistance. The fight, which came to a head late last night, when an officer of the House tried to take Mulhall away from the Senate committee at the end of a hear ng, -was resumed as soon as prelim naries could 'be dispensed with this morning. Mulhall already had started the recital of his alleged activities as lobbyist" for the National Association of Manufacturers, and was prepared to take up the identification of his let ters where he left off' last night. With Mulhall, McMlchael and the oth er "witnesses safely In the room, and with papers ' guarded by a cordon of ergeants-at-arms and - Senate em. ployes, Chairman Overman and his com mittee retired and . Indicted an epistle to Chairman Garrett, of the House com mittee. ... Disrespect Is , Disclaimed. This called attention to the atterrfpt of .the House ; to . capture Mr. Mulhall the night before, and asserted- the de termination of the Senate to hold the witness and the papers until it got through with them. Chairman Over man said no. disrespect was meant tu the House and that there was no de- Ire to hamper the other body's inves tigation. - It was dispatched by special messen ger and the committee waded into the mass of Mulhall correspondence with officers and attorneys of the National Association of Manufacturers sitting oy and watching proceedings closely. They had not gotten out of the 1904 file when '. Chairman Garrett's special mes senger advanced with an answer to the Overman letter. Mr. Garrett said the House commit tee might take hold of Mr. McMlchael, whom Mulhall alleged had received pay ment from "the National Association of Manufacturers while acting as page of the House of Representatives. Council of War Held. ' Mr. Garrett wanted to know whether it was true the Senate committee had told Mr. McMlchael he could not tes tify before the House until they got through with him. Mr. Garrett insisted no disrespect was meant to the Senate committee. He wanted the committee to investigate Its own affairs. Again there was a council of war INDEX OF TODAY'S NEWS The Weather.

King Constan tine' s" protest to the civilized, world against Bulgarian atrocities destroys the last hoDe of thosn vhn hiinvAH that Russia would succeed In Inducing the belligerents' to accept arbitration. The spectators of the struggle have been confident throughout that Servla would prove amenable to the counsels of moderation In view of the aDDalllnsr losses she sustained in Mor-tino- ih Bulgarians from Macedonia, but were less nopeful that Greece would listen to reason, as her people and army are obviously . Intoxicated by the victories over the dreaded Bulgars.

'Protest in my name to the repre sentatives of the civilized Dowers against the acts of these monsters in human form. Protest also to the entire civilized world and say that, to my re gret, I see myself compelled to wreak vengeance In order to inspire these monsters with terror and make them reflect before committing mora rages of this sort. "The Bulgarians have surpassed all the horrors of barbaric times and have proved that they are no longer have a right to be reckoned among civilized people." The commander of the seventh divi sion reports that the town of Seres has been burned, with th exception of the Jewish and Mussulman quarters.

He was the real star of the game, and made a hit every time at the bat. But he could not run. His girth would not permit of Buch activity, and he Impressed a house messenger into service with the consent of all parties. In the third inning the Democrats made 16 runs.
