In all, the President has motored
about 600 miles and has had a taste of
what dust'a six weeks' drouth can tro
duce. Speaking of the dust encountered
while he was riding today, he laugh
ingly remarked to a friend that he came
to New Hampshire to "see the country
ana not to swallow it."
The President, nevertheless, is fond
or nis Summer home, but Just how soon

ficult to predict. That depends on the

have conceded will not be before some
time in beptember. Immediately after
aojournment the President intend
to take a three weeks' trip to the Pan
ama uanal. .

. Bellingham Federal Job.-
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, July 12. Miss Jessie Vachon
was today appointed by Postmaster
General Burleson as . official "elevator
boy" for the Federal building at Bell
Ingham, Wash., after the department's
refusal to confirm her temporary ap

was fully capable of meeting the me
chanical emergencies of the Job in a
suffrage' state where women voters
declined to accept discrimination based
on anything less than "efficiency.
HOUSES CONTEND

Senate Keeps Posses

PAPERS CLOSELY GUARDED
House Committee May Get Mc

'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

TURKS ENTER COMPACT
Agreement Is Reached With Servla
and Prospects for Understand

LONDON. July 12. 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.
Bulgaria to Lose Benefits,
Dispatches from Constantinople late
tonight indicate that Bulgaria may not
merely be stripped of the fruits of her
victory over,, the Turk, but nr,ihiv
may have to submit to diminution of
ner own territory, for Rnnmania a
credited with, the intention of annex
ing a larger strip than she at first
proclaimed, while Turkev is lolnlncr
hands with Servi'a and Greece and has
already ordered her troops to advance.
.Beyond briefly chronicling the unoD
posed advances of the Roumanians
bona maintains a significant silence rs
garoing the, operations, of the -Servians
ana ureeks.
. Atrocities Are Described.
King Constantine has -sent tho fal
lowing - message to the Greek Minister
or .Foreign Affairs:
'The commander of the sixth dlv-lainn
reports that Bulgarian soldiers, carry
ing out the orders of their captain,
gathered together in the courtvard nt
the school at Demirhlrssar. two nrlits
and more than 100 notables, whom they
massacred. The bodies have been dis
interred In order to Drove th crime
Bulgarian soldiers violated girls, one
or whom, resisting, was cut to pieces.
Vengeance Is Declared.
'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

Representative Webb's Curves Too
Euch Winslow's Hitting Great,
but He Cannot Run. "
a
WASHINGTON. July 12. Rain in the
fourth and fifth innings of the Con
gressional baseball game here this af
ternoon at American League Park was
the only thing that stopped the Demo
crats from defeating the Republicans
worse than" 29 to 4. All efforts of the
Republicans, who were helped out by a
few Democrats, were unavailing to stop
the hard-hitting Democrats.
- The curves of Representative Webb,
of North Carolina, could not be solved
by the Republicans, while the Demo
crats had no trouble finding the deliv
ery of Representative Patton. of Penn
sylvania, who appeared unable to ob
tain consent to get a strike across the
plate.
One of the features of the game was
the return of Samuel WInslow, of Mas
sachusetts, who played on a Harvard
team back in the '80s and had not
played since until today. 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.
Victor Murdock, of Kansas, the Pro
gressive leader, who was to have um
pired, failed to appear.
The game was played by the members
of the two political parties for the
benefit of the . Washington Playground
Association.
