INVESTIGATE LOBBYIST
Senators doing After Miilluill, the
Alleged lobbyist of the X.
A. M., and Others.
Washington, July 17. Investiga
tion of the inner workings of the
National Council for Industrial De
fense, organized, it is alleged, to
finance legislative lobbying under
the direction of the National Associa
tion of Manufacturers, is the an
nounced determination today of Sen
ator Lee S. Overman of North Caro
lina, chairman of the senate commit
tee investigating President Wilson's
"insidious lobby" charges. He plans
to have expert accountants examine
the organization's books and prepare
a financial summary and also to re
veal the names of all contributors.
Martin M. Mulhall of Baltimore,
self-styled lobbyist for the National
Association of Manufacturers, re
sumed the stand today, discussing the
days preceding the republican nation
al convention of 1908. Letters read
to the committee indicated that fre
quent conferences were held between
managers of former President Taft's
campaign and representatives of the
N. A. M. It was alleged that certain
members of Taft's managers warned
President Van Cleave that Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor, was urging an
anti-injunction p anic and suggested
tlat Van Cleave and others attend
the conventicn and prevent its en
dorsement.
In April, 1908, Mulhall declared he
wrote Frederick Schwedtman, then
secretary of the N. A. M., that James
Wilson said that if Taft was nomi
nated for president he (Watson)
rould not be elected governor of In
diana. The witness then told of a
conference he had with the late Vice
President Sherman, then a congress
man.. Jatter urging the N. A. M.
to stop the attacks in republican
newspapers on former Speaker Joe
Cannon. Mulhall said he then left
Sherman and went to former Senator
Foraker's office and found a secret
conference of republican senators in
progress.
It was decided at this conference,
according to Mulhall, to not enact
any further legislation desired by
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, then
president. He alleged Foraker told
him the "allies" planned to defeat
Taft's nomination, capture control of
the national committee and seat con
testing anti-Taft delegates. To off
set this, Mulhall alleged, Watson told
him later, Roosevelt was "moving
heaven and earth to nominate Taft,"
and was fostering attacks on Cannon
to kill the letter's presidential boom.
Mulhall said Watson threatened to
"expose the Roosevelt plot on the
Uoor of the house."
' On May 6, 1908, Mulhall says he
called on Watson and Senators Car
ter, Hemenway and Aldrich, all
"chatting pleasantly" and all saying
unfair legislation would not pass tne
senate. Mulhall said he wrote
.Schwedtman that Beveridge had Bald
the N. A. M. would have to accept an
amended Sherman trust law, aji anti
chlld labor law and an anti-injunction
law. Mulhall said he then saw
Hemenway and wrote Schwedtman
as follows:
"Hemenway told me if I saw Bev
eridge again to tell him he was talk
ing through his hat, and a damn poor
one at that." Watson confirmed
Hemenway's report, saying Beveridge
was crazy.
On May 7, 1908, Mulhall said he
accompanied Watson to Baltimore
and en route Watson said that he
(Watson) and Co'nnon had started
the scare about anti-injunction leg
Islatlon and an amendment to the
Sherman law to head off tariff legis
lation. On May 8, Mulhall alleged,
Schwedtman wrote him that Bever
idge s influence was waning, adding:
"It always is disagreeable to me to
think we have anything in common
with, men who are wrong on the la
bor question as Beveridge 1b. How-
ever, we never know who our bed fel-
lows are. Watson is a man after my
own heart and we will help him In
Tery way." -
SPECIAL CLUB MEETING
There Will be Eats and Important
Business at the Meeting Next
Monday Evening.
Secretary Seager has sent out the
following notifications to the mem
bers of the Ashland Commercial
Club:
The monthly meeting of the Com
cercial Club, adjourned from July 7,
will be held Monday, July 21, at 8
P. in.
The members have shown their
loyalty and generosity toward the or
ganization and our city by the pay
ment of dues and subscriptions to
funds for public enterprises. But
more than this is needed. At almost
every meeting there comes up for
consideration some proposition af
fecting the interests of the entire
section, and such matters should
have the careful consideration of all
our members, for in this way only
can we secure the best results for all
concerned.
While land settlement and sale is
lagging let us get together and work
for closer co-operation, larger pro
duction and efficient methods of
marketing products, so that when the
influx of new settlers again com
mences we will be in shape to show
them a happy, prosperous and self-
supporting community.
Business of importance to be con
sidered. Light refreshments. Be
sure and come.

Parachute Jumper Killed in Seattle
Sang at Opera House in Ash
land Two Years Ago.
Seattle, Wash., July 19. Francis
L. Thayer, aged 47 years, a para
chute jumper, known throughout the
west, was drowned today while mak
ing a parachute descent from an aer
oplane as part of the Potlatch air
sports.
He went up In an aeroplane with
Johnny Bryant. At a height of 750
feet he dropped from the aeroplane.
After a descent of 100 feet he broke
loose from the parachute and fell to
the water.
Thayer did not rise to the surface
after going into the water. He had
been giving parachute exhibitions 25
years. Thayer called Chicago his
home. He leaves a widow in Seattle
and relatives at Aberdeen, Wash.
Thayer was in Ashland for some
time In 1911. He came here while
recovering from a broken leg re
ceived in a parachute drop and while
here sang in the Opera House under
the Hecker management. Thayer
left the city in company with a stock
company organized here, and with
which Mrs. Hecker played for a time.

Mulhall declared he went to Ports
mouth, Ohio, and broke a strike
there of 3,000 shoeworkers. He said
he entertained the strike leaders,
bought the union's entire secrets and
ended the strike within three days.
The witness declared that on May
29, 1908, N. A. M. headquarters
wrote him that they wanted "the
right kind of congressmen" elected.
In the Tenth and Eleventh Pennsyl
vania districts, and wanted Cannon
of Illinois and Jenkins of Wisconsin
re-elected. Many letters that Mul
hall wrote to headquarters appealed
for financial aid for Jenkins, "one of
our best friends."
Once, Mulhall said, Jenkins did not
have sufficient money to pay rail
road fare and money was rushed to
his aid. He told of paying Henry
Neal, one of the speaker's' messen
gers, to keep him Informed regard
ing the speaker's visitors.
A score of letters and telegrams,
arranged chronologically, were read,
purporting to show that the N. A. M
officials were in constant touch with
republican leaders both before and
during the 1908 convention. Emery,
one of the letters said, was "in
touch" with the committee on resolu
tions ten days before the convention
met.
The president of the N. A. M
Mulhall said, and the executive board
attended the convention, and when
the ticket was selected all the re
sources of the N. A. M. were used to

Meeting With
. : Lariniore.
Professor
Friday morning a large number of
people, including 100 or more of
Ashland's brightest children, met in
the arbor to listen to Professor Lari
more as he bid farewell.
. He said he was always delighted
to work with the children here be
cause they were enthusiastic and less
under the influence of evil. He said
he had found hut one boy whom he
had been compelled to check for a
bad habit.
In his talk to the mothers present
about their girls he said, in sub
stance, that the modern mother
should beware row she dressed her
young daughter if she would keep
her virtuous. That today the X-ray
gown, the slit tkirt, the open-work
stocking and cher exposures were
wrecking the modesty of girls and
starting them on the road to ruin,
and he raised his voice in protest
and warning. He declared some of
the dresses he had seen on the streets
of various cities were a disgrace and
reflection on womankind, and that
the fault lies mainly with mothers,
who are capable of knowing more
than their young daughters of its
evil effect on health and morals, and
said the present immodest styles
should be criticised without mercy.
He then turned his attention to
the boy and the cigarettes. He said
he was glad so few boys used them
in Ashland in his athletic class.
Many of the cigarettes, he found by
analyzing, contained saltpeter , and
other harmful drugs. Then there is
the "dope" cigarette, sold In every
town, that ' contains cocaine. The
newest in the line of cigarettes are
those so compounded that they
arouse the animal passions. He has
seen little'boys victims of- the latter,
and the results from the same have
made him feel like falling to the
ground and covering his face in the
dust.
He then touched upon the splen
did $250,000 Y. M. C. A. in his home
town, San Diego. , There he is physi
cal director. He said it was the rule
there, when a young man applied for
membership, to examine him phys
ically. He was not to avail himself
of the splendid advantages of bath
room or various swimming tanks un
til he had taken a strick physical ex
amination for infectious disease.
This protected the members from eye
or skin ailments. After that his
heart pulsation was noted and his
breathing power, so that he be al
lowed only such athletics that would
do him good. Here many cases of
"tobacco heart" are discovered Jand
the warning given before too late,
He said the young men of Y. M
C. A. are especially warned against
harmful habits. They learn that any
excess saps their vitality and they
cannot win in the Olympic games if
they indulge. They learn also the
champion in a game of pool or bil
liards will not be the man of bad
habits.
In appreciation of their instructor,
the children gave a yell at the close
of his speech cra"mmed full of affec
tion. They almost burled Professor
Lariniore in flowers, and then, cap
turing him, gave him a lunch up the
canyon. This "big brother" has
taught more than physical culture to
the children. He has taught clean
living and given an uplift that will
follow them out in the world and
help them to win life's battles.
Right in closing, could this town
do a better thing than erect a build
ing that might be used both for
Chautauqua and Y. M. C. A. pur
poses? This would be especially
helpful If we establish the Southern
Normal School, and Is worth think
ing about.
MRS. M. M. EDMUNDS.
Dr. MacCullough of Medford made
a splendid Impression Friday morn
ing when he spoke on purity in liter
ature and art. He mentioned the
great blessing a library can be in a
community. When the young people
read such books as "The Scarlet Let
ter" or "The Heavenly Twins" it up'
lifts them. But he denounced the
tons of trash that are gathered up
by some non-thinking library com
mlttees and form a sewerage that
breeds disease of mind. He de
nounced the immoral show and the
questionable picture. These things
help to pollute our nation. As a
result of carelessness the seeds of
immorality are sown. In New York
city 5,000 girls are arrested every
night. How many mothers know
where their- daughters . are after
dark? Then it is that those seeds
blossom out, and the girl disappears,
and there is darkness unutterable In
the home. Vice is sapping our na.-
tion. No longer can we point with
scorn to the morals of France. To
day the birth rate here is the lowest
of any civilized nation. Disease has
sapped our vitality, and we find, as
in the city of New York, women
wheeling little baby cabs in which
repose beautifully curled poodles.
Sex hygiene must be taught. Bald

tion has its reproductve force threat-

WATER TANK BURSTED
Southern Pacific Tank at Coles Col
lapsed Thursday and Blocked
Track-Laying Trains.
The Southern Pacific water tank
at Coles, a station on the Southern
Pacific railway practically on the
state line, collapsed Thursday after
noon and the company suffered the
loss of a lot of water. As it'did not
come from the stocks the company is
still solvent. The wreck of the tank,
however, blocked the main track and
it was necessary to send a wrecker
over from here to clear it. All
northbound trains were delayed
about two hours that day.
There were 14 men working under
the tank when it collapsed and it is
almost miraculous that there were
none of them killed or seriously in
jured. The tank is supported upon
posts' 14 feet high and when it col
lapsed it threw the tank itself to one
side. The men had meanwhile
dropped into the pump pit beneath
the tank and even had the debris
landed where the tank stood they
would have escaped. Mr. Quinn, the
foreman, was slightly injured and all
the rest escaped entirely.
S. S. BASEBALL.
Schedule of Concluding Games of
the Series is Fixed.
At a meeting of the managers of
the Sunday School Baseball League
held last Saturday evening it was
decided to play the remaining games
two a week instead of one. a week,
as heretofore. This was thought best
on account of the fact that it gets
dark earlier each week, which would
soon cut the games too short. At
the rate of. two games a week the
schedule will last just three weeks
longer, and has been arranged as
follows:
Tuesday, July 22 Methodists vs.
Christians.
Friday, July 25 Christians vs
Rnntlsts
Tuesday, July 29 Congregation-V)
. .
als vs. Methodists.
Friday, August 1 Congregation-
als vs. Baptists.
Tuesday, August 5 Baptists vs.
Methodists.
Friday, August 8 Christians vs.
Congregationals.
For the present the custom of hav
ing the games free of admission will
be continued. The hour will still be
6:30, and all are invited to attend.
All who are to participate in the
games are requested to be on hand
a little before 6:30 in order that the
game can be called promptly at that
hour.
The league has decided to accept
the challenge from the Grants Pass
team for a game to be played at
Grants Pass probably July 30, pro
vided the Grants Pass league are
willing to play a return game here.
These games, are to be played by
teams picked from all the teams be
longing to the league.
The game tomorrow (Tuesday)
evening promises to be a very inter
esting one. - The Methodist team has
been greatly strengthened since they
were defeated by the Christians, and
are confident of wresting victory
from the hitherto Invincible Chris
tian swatters.
