Cnder the guidance or counsel for the

pany and that Ruef had never been in

Calhoun's right hand man in the ex

Thornwell Mullally, today took the stand

presented a. currency order signed by

Mullally was loth to leave the stand
when his examination was over. Only
the advice of the rf-ourt to confine his
answers to the questions asked by the
attorneys served to stop repeated dec
larations of the yeoman service done by
the I'nlted Railroads and Its ofllcers

Washington, May 13. "Prosperity
will return to the country as soon as
the oratorical steam is shut off on Cap

Hill had lust emerged from the presi
dent's office, where he had been in
conference with Taft.
He declared that the tariff agitation
was the only thing now preventing the
return of prosperity. Permanent pros-
Kerlty would come within a short time,
