MULHALL CHARGES J. E. WATSON OF INDIANA DREW SALARY FROM ASSOCIATION. PROMISED $10,000 AS BONUS In Return, Witness Testifies Before Senate Board, Recipient Agreed to Work for Passage of Law Creating Tariff Commission. Washington, July 22. Testimony given before the senate lobby committee on Monday by Col. Martin M. Mulhall charged that James E. Watson of Indiana, when, he was a member of congress, accepted money in payment for his services in behalf of a tariff commission bill. Mulhall said that Representative Watson was on the secret iay roll of the National Manufactuers' association and drew $250 a week, in addition to a lump sum of $500 paid him as a retainer. The association, Mulhall testified, also promised Watson $10,000 in cash when the tariff commission bill was passed. Says Watson Kept Blacklist. The witness informed the senators that it was a blacklist of members of congress prepared by James E. Wat-son-and one Childs, a clerk of the house committee on war claims. Among others in the list were the names of Representativee Nichols and W. B. Wilson of Pennsylvania, Victor Murdock of Kansas, Morse, Lenroot and Nelson of Wisconsin, Haugheir of Iowa, Karris Maynard of West Virginia and Champ Clark of Missouri. "When did you get that list?" asked Senator Reed. "Before election," replied Mulhall. "That's a list representing the men the National Association of Manufacturers was opposed to and wanted to beaL We made every effort to drive them back to private life." In another list was the name of James T. McDermott of the Fourth Illinois district, but it had been crossed out with pencil marks. Urges Spanking for Beveridge. In a letter -written to Mulhall in October, Schwedtman is quoted as saying: "I do hope that when James E. Watson gets in the governor's chair he will lay a half dozen of his good friends (?) over his knee and spank them to beat the band, including your special friend, Senator Beveridge. I hate false friends more than I do the worst enemies." Mulhall was apparently much refreshed by a two days' rest, as he began the serial explanation of the mass of correspondtnee in the hands of the committee. The late Representative Henry C. Loudenslager of New Jersey, secretary of the Republican congressional committee in 190S, seemed to have incurred the enmity of Mulhall in October of that year. Mulhall wrote to Secretary Schwedtman: "I told this gentleman that the manufacturers of this country are tired of pinheail politicians. When I was through Mr. Loudenslager offered an apology, claiming that he would be good from this time on, but I plainly gave him to understand that when he comes up for renomination he would hear from our people." Mulhall did not fully explain why he had fallen out with Loudenslager. TAKE MILITANT AFTER RIOT Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst Arrested Followers Use Hatpins on Detectives. London, July 22. In one of the fiercest riots which has marked the suffragette propaganda in Great Britain, Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst, leader of the militants, was arrested here with six of her followers. The fight with the detectives came when the officers tried to arrest Mrs. Pankhurst as she was entering the Pavilion Music hall where her daughter Sylvia and other prominent suffragettes were holding a meeting. Mrs. Pankhurst was seized after a violent struggle and when the frenzied women saw their leader in the hands of the officers they charged upon them, using hatpins and all sorts of weapons to wrest their leader away. Mrs. Pankhurst was taken to Holloway jail. FIREBUG ON JOHN D.'S ESTATE Two Attempts Made to Burn Home of His Sculptor at Tarrytown, N. Y. Tarrytown, N. Y., July 22. That a firebug is at work on John D. Rockefeller's estate is the belief of his neighbors. Two attempts have been made to burn the home of his sculptor, Emil Seiburn. and the residents now believe that the Rockefeller stables were set on fire by an incendiary three weeks ago, and the fire was not due to spontaneous combustion in the hay loft. It is peculiar coincidence that while Mr. Rockefeller has deputies and detectives guarding his estate, he had no fires. As soon as he allowed the last deputy to go, the fire began. Ex-inancier Dies in Prison. Boston, July 22. Cardenio F. King, the former financier, who Is serving a. fifteen-year sentence for embezzlement, died at the Bridgewater State hoopital.

SETH LOW IN ATTEMPT TO END RAIL QUARREL President of the National Civic Federation Attempts to Settle Differences in Arbitration. New York, July 19. Seth Low, president of the National Civic Federation, which was instrumental in smoothing the way for arbitration under the Newlands act of tho wage dispute between the eastern railroads and their trainmen and conductors, came forward again in an endeavor to straighten out the tangle arising from the roads' demands that their grievances be arbitrated along with those of the men. Mr. Low, who has sided with the unions in their contention . that the railroads could not properly inject their troubles into the situation at this stage, met the conference com-, mittee of railroad managers In the hope that some aTeement might be reached. The stand of the trainmen ana conductors, as voiced by their leaders, Messrs. Lee and Garretson, Is that the roads acted In bad faith, demanding something not "even debatable." This causes a deadlock in the proceedings. The trainmen declare that the railroads, in insisting upon arbitration of their own grievancse at this time, could have selected no surer way of driving the men from the service. The sincerity of the roads is questioned by the employes, who point out that prior to the mediation conference with the president last Monday no intimation was given by the roads that they purposed to air their demands before the federal arbitration body. The presentattitude of the roads Is characterized as a "flagrant violation of faith." CHINESE MENACED BY REVOLT Kwangtung Announces Secession, Governor Saying He Will Lead the Southern Armies. Washington, July 21. Conditions In China are becoming very alarming, according to reports to the state department. A secession movement in southern China is the cause.

Deep disappointment is felt in Japan over the American reply to the last two Japanese notes on the California alien land ownership law, because it does not accept any of the Japanese contentions that the law violates the Japanese-American treaty and because it does not offer any suggestion for a solution of the difficulty.

ASKS MEXICO FACTS

WILSON ORDERS STATE DEPARTMENT TO FURNISH INFORMATION ON TROUBLES THERE. . BRYAN ATTENDS CONFERENCE Chief Executive Will "Stand Pat" Until Arrival of Ambassador Recent Crisis Dubbed "Bondholders' Conspiracy" Fathered in Paris. Washington, July 19. In preparation for the arrival of Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson, now on his way northward from Mexico, President Wilson requested the state department to furni3h him with a full and complete file of all the information relative to the troubles in Mexico from the beginning of the Madero revolt to the present time. The vast mass of material, covering more than two years, wrill be sent to the White House and the president intends to read it thoroughly so that he will be informed as to all the developments of the Mexican situation beforo the arrival of Ambassador Wilson. Bryan Calls on President. Secretary Bryan, who returned from the first lap of his Chautauqua lecture tour, was the president's first caller. The secretary of state brought with him a large bundle of telegrams and correspondence relative to conditions in Mexico, including a number of dispatches from William Bayard Hale, President Wilson's personal representative in Mexico City, giving impressions of present conditions south of the Rio Grande, particularly with respect to the stability of the Huerta government. Mr. Hale does not consider that the present regime will last long and has advised the administration against immediate recognition. No decision will be made in this matter, however, until afte- the conference wita Ambassador Wilson. The Mexican correspondence also formed the principal topic at the cabinet session, but it was decided to "mark time" until the president has received first hand information from Mexico City. Sees Hand of High Finance. Suspicions of the sincerity of the representatons made to the United States by several European nations on the Mexican situation have been raised in Washington by the trail of high finance that has been found funning through them all. Allegations are freely made that the crisis recently precipitated is nothing mpre nor less than a "bondholders' conspiracy" engineered from Paris. President Wilson himself is responsible for the statement that so much artificiality exists In the Mexican situation, so much information Is adulterated and oerverted by interested persons that he will take no further steps until he has reliable information to go by. This he hopes to get from Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson. Wilson Criticises Ambassador. The president does not hesitate to criticise Ambassador Wilson, however, for failing to sustaiu any fixed or definite conclusions in his dispatches to the state department. Other consular and special agents of the United States in. Mexico have been equally indefinite in the information they have sent to the state department indicating that authentic news of the progress of the revolution in the interior districts is extremely hard to obtain. The proposed trip of Felix Diaz Is the cause of much speculation at the state department Aß an envoy of the Huerta regime to the Yamamoto cabinet during the period of tho alien land law, negotiations his presence in Japan would serve to renew the efforts of the jingoes to create a strong antiAmerican feeling in Japan and also serve to renew reports that Japan is negotiating for a naval base on. the western coast of Mexico. Many officials believe that Huerta is sending Diaz out of Mexico at a time when his administration is in danger and when Diaz might be an aspirant for the presidency.

BRYAN ASKS PROTECTORATE FOR NICARAGUA REPUBLIC Secretary of State Offers a Revised Treaty Making United States Its Ruler. Washington, July 21. A new American policy toward Nicaragua, involving virtual control of the affairs of that republic by the United States through a trust protectorate similar to that exercised over Cuba, was outlined by Secretary Bryan, at a private conference with members of the senate foreign relations committee. At the same conference Mr. Bryan urged renewal of arbitration treaties with France, Great Britain and other countries. Mr. Bryan's Nicaraguan proposal, coming as a complete Surprise to most of the members of the committee, was taken by many senators later as the first pronouncement of a general policy on the part of the administration to extend American control over the countries surrounding the Panama canal and domination by the United States of their relations with great powers. Under the proposed plan Nicaragua would agree in substance: That war should not be declared without the consent of the United States. That no treaties should be made with foreign governments that wTould tend to destroy its independence or that would give those governments a foothold in the republic. That no public debt would he contracted beyond the ordinary resources of the government, as indicated by the ordinary revenues. That the United States should have the right to intervene at any time to preserve Nicaraguan independence or to protect life or property. That the United States should have the exclusive right to build a canal across Nicaragua, and should have a 99-year lease to a naval base in tho bay of Fonseca and to the Great Corn and Little Corn islands in the Caribbean sea, with the privilege of renewing the lease. The United States in return would pay Nicaragua $3,000,000 to be used In public works and education.
