JULY 12. 1913 lUi EEG1NS IS Sensational Expose of Man in High Placet Commenced by Former Washington Lobbyist LETTEBS WRITTEN BY MANUFACTTOEB8 ABE BEAD Witness Freely Admits He Double Crosud Some of Those Who Trusted Hint in His Work. Washington, July 13. Martin ' If. "Alulhall, who says he was the active lobbyist for the National Association of Manufacturers for many years, be gan his testimony last night before the senate lobby investigation committee. Mulhall, whose alleged correspond ence has brought into the lifclight the names of scores of men prominent in political life in the last ten yoars, was on the stand about two hours. Tho eornmittce made only a faint impres sion on the huge pile of letters, but enough was read into the record to show Mulhall 's relations with Jfurshall dishing, ex-secretary of the Manufac turers' Association. Those relations, the testimony showed, began in I DOS, ami Miilhull was first employed to work against an eight-hour bill favored by the lute Senator McCoimis of Mary land. Treachory Freely Admitted. Mulhall admitted frankly Hint he had worked to defeat the McCoiiins forces in Maryland, while he was still posing Bs the Hciiator's friend. Mulhall waited about the seunte of fico buihling all day. Ho went into the hearing room early In the morning, spent an hour there and then wont to Senator Heed's private office. Ho is a man of little more than medium build, with a sandy complexion and thin gray "hair, lie wears glosses and looks over them rather than through them. ITo did not appear particularly nervous. Honntor Heed was designated by Chairman Overman to examine tho wit ness, who said ho was born in 1850 ami had lived in Baltimore more than 13 years, fie said before he went with the National Association of Manufacturers ho was "principally In politics" and wan connected with the Republican Na tional Committee. Tells of Bribe Refused, - i rerusen a urine o j.j(l()U ami a life position in the naval service In 1SD2," said Mulhall. "That yoar I had charge of the Republican campaign In Albany and Honnsalaer counties. New Vork. Previous to that I had charge Of William NcKinley's gubernatorial campaign in Ohio." Mulhaii said the late Hcnator Quay of Pennsylvania, sent him to confer with John Mitchell during the anthra cite strike In the Pennsylvania fields in 1002 to get the "Inside story." Dur ing that time, Mulhall said, he arranged for a conference between Governor 8tone, of Pennsylvania, and three labor leaders, Tho first Mulhall letter introduced was addressed to Mitchell, in February, r.ncj, relating to these meetings. A letter dated May 17. 11(02. from Mulhall to Mitchell, told of a confer ence between Mulhall and Governor None, at which Ntono expressed sympa thy with the minors. Friendship of Governor. "I think you could make a grand stroke," the lttr Ha).l, in suggesting the calling of a stril "if you would meet Governor Stone and make him your friend; he will bo of great assist ance to you in the event of an anthra cite strike." A letter in August, 11101, from ('. Car roll Downs, whom Mulhall said was seeielar.v to the late Senator McCoums, of Maryland, related to the employment of two men in the treasury d 'partment iu Washington. The men were officers of the Mulders Vnion It, Unltimore. A letter of July IS, inn, to Mulhall, s head of the Workmen's Protective Association, from an association of en gineers In New York, was read by Sen ator Reel, The letter said that "Senat. tor Met oniii, lis, voted right in the iu Jerests of lnlir In every measure that has lome before the I'nited States sen ate in the Inst sit years. Letters Art Not Signed. Speaking of letters from Cushing, Hl"t"r H t found one without a slg- nature and wanted to know if the Xa tional Assentation of Manufacturers so rvtly wrote unsigned letters. "Always," said Mulhall. - Hcnator Heed picked out a letter from Marshall Cushing to John W. Yerkes, the commissioner of Internal revenue, urging him to retain Mulhall as deputy collector of customs at Dnltlmore. note on the top of this letter said that it was "absolutely confidential," as It "would be fatal if Senator McComas linew I was doing this." Asked by Senator Heed why this would tie ratal, M.ilhnll said: ''llecanse the Nutionnl Association of Manufac turers was fighting McComas, had beeu appointed for three months bv MeCoiuss just after the ltaltimore fires, and Cushing wanted to help me retain the place " Workman's Association Controlled. Mulhall declared that Cushing had agreed with him to aid to build up the Worklngmen's Protective Association, which Mulhall controlled. It had nm down to about 500 members and with Cushing's aid, Mulhall declared, it was worked up to 1200 members. For this, ushing, as secretary of the National Manufacturers' Association, frequently sent Mulhall money. "He sent me checks, usually 100 at a time, to be used in hall rent, and keeping up the organization," said Mulhall. "Occasionally he sent me 40 checks, which were for my own ex penses.

Secretary Daniels, speaking last night at tho anniversary dinner of the Ter minal Y. M. C. A., declared that "there is no place on our free soil for those who want to fly the red flag.". Ho was speaking to railroad men who know that the red flag means danger. But there is a difference between the red flag used in railroading, the flag that the men in tho engine cabs are sup posed to heed Instantly, and the red flag raised by those who are seeking to subvert government. In railroading the red flag is a safeguard. Tn politics the the red flag is a menace. Secretary Daniels is right in saying that there is no place here for tho red flag. It should be stamped as an evil thing and prohibited, and those who follow it should be rated as enemies of the state and punished if they persist in flaunt ing this emblem of anarchism In public. Very much in advance of a date set for the journey, Miss Mariam Barstow and Miss Zoe Stocton left on Thursday for a trip to the Atlantic Coast.
