Foraker Had Scheme to Defeat Taft's
Nomination and Roosevelt Back
ed Attacks on Cannon.
UNITBU PI1BSS LEASED WIRE.
Washington, July 17 Lobbyist Mul-
hall was a witness agaiu today before
the investigating committee.
In April, 1908, Mulhall declared, he
wrote Frederick Schwentman, then
secretary of the X. A. M., that James
Watson said that if Taft was nominated
for president, he (Watson) could not be
elected governor of Indiana. The wit
ness then told of a conference he had
with the late Vice-President Sherman,
then a congressman, the latter urging
tho N. A. M. to stop the attacks in Re
publican newspapers on former Speak
er Joseph Cannon. Mulhall said he
then left Sherman and went to former
Senator Foraker 's office, and found a
secret conference of Republican sena
tors in progress.
It was decided at this conference, ac
eording'to Mulhall, to not enact any
further legislation desired by Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt, then president. He
alleged Foraker told him tho "allies"
planned to defeat Taft's nomination,
capture control of the national com
mitteo and seat contesting anti-Taft
delegates. To offset this, Mulhall al
leged Watson told him later, Roosevelt
was "moving heaven and earth to nom
inate Taft," and was fostering attacks
on Cannon to kill the lntter's presiden
tial boom. Mulhall said Watson threat
ened to "expose the Roosevelt plot on
tho floor f the house."
Says Beveridge Is Crazy.
On May 8, 100S, Mulhall says, he
called n Watson and Senators Carter,
Hemenway and Aldrich, all "chatting
pleasantly," and all saying unfair leg
islation would not pass the senate.
Muhnll said he wrote Rehwcdtman that
Beveridge hnd said the N. A. M. woull
have to accept a naniended Sherman
trust law, an anti-child labor law and
an anti-injunction law. Mulhall said he
then saw Hemenway ami wrote
Schwedtman ns follows:
"Hemenway told me if I saw Bever
idge again to tell him he wns talking
through hiB hat, and a damn poor one
at that." Watson confirmed Hemen
way report, saying Beveridge wns
crazy.' '
On May 7, V.10, Mulhall said he ac
companied Watson to Baltimore and
en route Watson snid that he (Watson)
and Cannon had started the since about
anti-injunction legislation and B'l
amendment to the Sherman lnw to head
off tariff legislation. On May S Mul
hall alleged Schwedtmnn wrote him
thnt Beveridge 's influence was waning,
adding:
Wrong on Labor uestfon.
"Tt olwnvs is disagreeable to mo to
think we have anything in common
with men who are wrong on the labor
question, ns Beveridge is. However,
we never know who our bedfellows are.
Watson is a man after my own heart,
and we will help him in every way."
Mulhall declared he went to Ports
mouth, Ohio, and broke a strike there
of .1000 shoe workers. He said he en
tertained the strike leaders, bought the
union's entire secrets and ended the
strike within three days. The witness

Hellinghani, Wash., July 17. The
bandit who for five days has eluded
fifty officers on Shaw island, tried to
escape from Point George in a fishing
dory yesterday morning, but was driven
back to shore by a Canadian patrol
boat. At 5:30 o'clock last night the
outlaw passed along the beach in front
of the Shaw Island cannery searching
for another boat in which to make his
escape. He was driven into the woods
and night fall put a stop to the man
hunt. The outlaw obtained food at a
fish trap yesterday morning. He is
tired and haggard, but determined that
he will never be taken alive.
Three Canadian patrol boats with
powerful searchlights, patrolled the
eastern shore of the island last night.
A message from Deputy Sheriff Dou
glas from the Shaw Island canuery at
midnight last night said the woods are
fairly alive with officers and the ban
dit will hardly attempt to try to reach
Point George.
Rents Boat from Fishermen. J
Early yesterday the outlaw accosted
a fisherman and demanded the use of
his boat. He gave the fishorman a $10
bank note for the use of the dory and
then boarded the craft and started to
ward Lopez Island. When a short dis
tance from shore a Canadian cutter
hove in sight and immediately gave
chase to the robber. He turned the
lory and made for shore. The Cana
dians opened fire but were unable to
get within range before the highway
man reached the shore and escaped in
the woods.
All trace of the outlaw again was
lost until 5:30 o'clock last night when
he passed the Shaw Island cannery ou
the opposite side of the island. He
had traveled about seven miles since
orning. The officers were watchins;
the other side of the island and none
but the cannery crew saw the man pass.
Takes to the Woods.
Messengers were immediately sent to
notify the posse in the vicinity of Point
George, and they cut across tho island
to meet the bandit, but ho left thj
beach and disappeared in the woods
while they were yet out of rifle range.
Jiis appoaraneo in the vieinitv of

man is mixed up, and does not know
which way to go in order to escape.

UNITED PBE8S LEASED WIRE.
Eugene, Ore., "July 17 "Writing
good English is only a habit, and must
be treated as a habit In high school
teaching," said Prof. Harold G. Mer
riam, of Beloit, who is at present a
member of the summer school faculty
and who goes to Reed college in Port
land this autumn. "One teacher can
not inculcate a habit in a school full of
pupils in three hours a week.
"If there is any remedy for the de
plorable inability of our high schools
to teach their pupils to write good
English, it must be applied by all of
the teachers, who must get together and
not leave the whole responsibility with
the ones who teach composition and
rhetoric. Common sense and not a lit
erary standard is what we want in high
school English teaching. The students
must learn to express themselves clear
ly and effectively about the matters
with which they have to deal in thoir
other studies and in their daily life.
Rhetoric is not a thing apart.
"Only recently wo received 11 appli
cations for a temporary place on the
faculty of a colloge with which I was
associated. Of these we throw five in
to the waste basket immediately as con
taining gross mistakes in English, five
more wore quickly discarded as in
ferior. Think of it: Of 11 persons
seeking a position to teach the writing
of English in an institution of higher
learning, only three wrote letters in
such terms as to entitle them to a re
spectful hearing. Thoy rogardod
rhetoric as a thing apart, not as a
thing that hnd any value to do with
common lotter writing.
"The schools will not turn out stu
dents able to write good English until
eorroct usage is regarded as a habit,
and inflexibly required by all teachers
in connection with all written work.
Many teachers now are almost hostile
to the English department, to say noth
