Shutt HULL BEB ‘Senate Committee Puts Alleged Lobbyist Under Fire. HOUSE DEMANDS WITNESS Names of Scores of Men Prominent ie Political Life Brought Into Lime. light—Senate Refuses Pa- pers to House. Washington, July 12.—Martin MM. Mulhall, who claims to have been the active lobbyist for the National Asso ciation of Manu‘acturers for many years, has begun his testimony before the senate lobby investigating com. mittee. Mulhall, whose alleged cor respondence has brought into the lime- light names of scores of men. promi nent in political life in the last ten "years, was on the stand about two hours, The committep made only a faint Impression on the huge pile of letters, but enough was read into the record to show Mulhall’s alleged rela- tion with Marshall Cushing, former seqretary of the manufacturers’ asso- ciation. Mulhall also told of efforts to help settle the anthracite coal strike in the Pennsylvania fields in 1902 and spoke of attempts (o arrange conferences between the then Governor Stone and labor leaders. Just after the committee adjourned a sergeant-at-arms of the house ap- peared and served a subpoena on Mul- hali, directing him to appear before the special lobby committee of the house at 9 o'clock in the morning. The senate committee had adjourn- ed until 10 o’clock, but when Senator Overman heard of the action of the house there was a hurried conference and Mulhall was told to show up be fore the senate committee at 9. “They're making themselves ridicus lous,” said Chairman Overman, refer- ring to the activities of the new house committee, The effort to get Mulpall | to the house-side—was-the— of the day by Chairman Garrett and his associates, who wanted to put him on the stand either before the senate committee or at odd moments when the senators were not listening to his testimony. Before the matter is settled the question of jurisdiction may take a more serious turn, although the sen- ators who have “the papers” and have Mulhall under subpoena feel they can keep him as long as they want. The night session was called after an all-day effort to settle the question of whether the senate lobby investi- gators or the new house committee should conduct the first inquiry. Dip- lomatic negotiations were broken off after Chairman Garrett of the house committee had armed the sergeants at-arms with subpoenas and sent them scurrying about Washington after Colonel Mulhall and J. H. McMichaels, who was charged by Mulhall with hav- ing acted as paid informant of the National Association of Manufac- turers’ lobbyists while employed on the floor of the house. This termi- nated a day of jurisdictional conflict. The Garrett committee had asked Sen- ator Overman for at least copies of ate committee did not surrender them. After the house committee met, it recessed to allow Representatives Gar- rett, Russell and Nolan to go to the senate committee and renew the re- quest for the “papers.” This time they were officially refused.
