His decision not to testify but fo “take his case to another tribunal where the law will be impartially weighed” caused a switch In the com- mittes’s programme. Watson's letter to Overman was ®it- ter in condemning statements summing’ up Mulhall’s testimony which appeared im the New York World last Saturday, signed by Senators Overman, Reed and Walsh. These, he said, “plainly state ‘that a majority of your committee, without waiting to make formal report, voluntarily rushed into print to render a decision and to pronounce judgment defore a single witness for the defense was heard and before one syllable of re- butting testimony was offered. “1 submit that yeu have prejudged my evidence,” Watson wrote, ‘You have passed on fits cheracter and sut- ficiency without heving heard it, for while you do not specifically mention my name yet you have orivately de- termined and@ publicly announced that Mulball has made his case” SENATOR TOWNSEND MAKES ATTACK ON MULHALL. ‘The committee considered Watson's letter in secret seasion, When the open * hearing wae resumed Genator Townsend anked to be heard, not, as he explained, because of anything In Mulhall’s etory that reflected upon him, but because he felt the st: ent In Muthall's published ator) that nd aixty other legislators were easil; ‘coached should be denied. This knowledged corruption- fst,” Townsend wrote, referring to Mul- hall, “has eaid he had confidential talks * with me: This ts absolutely false. While 1 can’t remember all my callers, it is un- thinkabdle that I could forget this man.” Mulhall’ was then recalled. He pro- @uced the stubs uf the check which he gaye he drew in April, 1909, to pay ‘Watson $500 as a retainer for services ‘to be rendered in working for « tariff commission. When the House committee begins its hearings tomorrow Louis Belbold of the New York World will be tho first mritmess to lay the foundation for the examination of Mulhall, which will fol- low immediately. The time that Col. Mulhall ie on the nd will be de- ‘voted largely to cross-examination, the @ammittes decided to-day. ‘Wateon has written the House Com- feittee asking to be called as a witness, end probably will testify after Mulhall's erams-examination. ——_- FOUR AUTOISTS DROWNED.

A big, binck, runaway horse that had made its way across Williamsburg Bridge from the Manhattan side by the way of the trolley tracks of the Metro- Dolitan Street Railway was confronted, Just east of the Williamsburg tower, by &@ man waving a red flag. The horse turned and jumped off into the open space between the trolley tracks and the “L" atructure, dropping 125 feet into Kent avenue. A Greenpoint car, pass- ing through Kent avenue under the bridge, was missed by the falling horse by @ margin of a few feet. The animal waa inatantly killed It waa a spectacular end of a spec- tacular runaway. The horse belonged Jonoph Hrestigiadano, @ huckster, Was @ fine, spirited animal weigh- ing 1,400 pounds. His owner was proud of him and kept him in the best of condition, Erentigiadano wus about to hitch the ‘horse to a cart in front of the stable at No. 631 East Thirteenth street at 9 o'clock this morning when the animal bolted in fright piece of paper blown acroas the pavement. The har- ness flapping about its legs added to the fear of the horse, It turned south in Avenue B and ran to Houston street, where Peter Sullivan grabbed the bri- dle, but was unable to hold on, Through crowded Houston street the animal dashed west to Essex atreet and south to the Williamsburg Bridge plaza tn Delancey street. Sergeant Tier- nan and Patrolman Palmer essayed to stop the runaway. The horse dodged them and galloped out on the bridgo on the trolley tracks of the north road- way. These tracks are used by the Metropolitan Fourteenth atreet line ang are paved between the rails, There were many cars on the bdridge, bound both ways. The runaway dodged them all, keeping to the tracks. A gang of workmen repairing tracks on the Williamsburg approach was protected near the tower by # watchman with a red flag, whose duty it was to signal cars approaching from Manhattan to slow down. The watchman saw the horse ®earing down upon him. He| — waved the flag. This was a new ex- Dertence to the runaway, which turned without observing that a wide open apace lay between the trolley tracks and the “L” road. In the 12 foot drop the horse, striking out with ite feet, turned over and over. Had it landed on the roof of the Green- point car, which was crowded with pas- eengers, it would have gone clear through. Brestigiadano trailed his horse from the starting polnt to the finish of the runaway. He wept as he looked down from the bridge and saw on the street Ddelow the remains of his big black partner in the huckster business. pbs ishenes teats SEARCH SEA FOR MISSING BRITISH SUBMARINES Warships in Hunt for Two Craft Not Accounted for After Naval Manoeuvres.
