half Carload of Evidence Ready For Senate Probers Jim Watson Still in the Limelight. (National News Association) WASHINGTON, July 17. With half b carload of account books and files of the National Association of Manufacturers and 20,000 letters and telegrams made public by Col. M. M. Mulhall, the Overman Lobby Inquiry committee today found Itself in a position to ascertain the whole truth concerning the methods of the manufacturers In controlling elections and legislation. Robert McCarter today turned over to the committee the account books of the National Counsel of Industrial Defense. In the testimony today It was shown that in April, 1908, the late Vice-president Sherman wrote Mulhall that it was impossible to get the LHtlefield compulsory pilotage bill through the House. Sherman was also provoked at the tariff agitation of the National Association and said it might lead to the election of a Democratic president. Sherman also was angry at the newspaper fights against Speaker Cannon, who was a candidate for the nomination for President. Watson Was Peeved. At that time Representative Watson Of Indiana, according to a letter written by i Mulhall, "Had a great notion to take 'the floor before congress adjourned and expose the whole dirty piece of trickery from start to finish," refetring to a statement that the White j House (meaning President Roosevelt) was responsible for the newspaperlcampaign against Cannon. "Watson states that the president is moving hjeaven and earth to nominate Taft," wrote Mulhall. "that is he is willing to sacrifice the Sherman law and every other law to please

SWAYNE FAILED LOCATE LETTER FROM H. MILES After going through files of letters of private correspondence of 1906, S. E. Swayne was unable to find the letter which he was supposed to have received from H. E. Miles, of Racine, Wis., according to the testimony of Col. M. M. Mulhall, who testified before the senate lobby investigating committee' at Washington yesterday. Mr. Swayne said he could not understand what the object was in mentioning his name in connection with the election of James E. Watson to congress. The letter, according to Mulhall's testimony, urged Mr. Swayne to support that candidate. "If the letter was of any great importance I probably would have saved it" said Mr. Swayne. "If I ever received it I probably paid little attention to it and threw it away. The firm of Robinson & Co. is not a member of the National Association of Manufacturers."

the trusts and Wall street to get their support for his candidate at Chicago." Secretary Schwedtman wrote to Mulhall on May 4 that he had sent a telegram to the 130 organizations included in the National Council for Industrial defense to send letters of protest to Roosevelt against pending legislation. Another Mulhall Letter. This letter showed that Marshall Cushing, former secretary of the N. A. M. was busy in Washington. On May 6 Mulhall wrote to Schwedtman, "I met Mr. Beveridge and called his attention to promises he made to Mr. Parry and others in Indiana in regard to class legislation. Beveridge told me that he stood strongly in favor of the

injunction bill that the president wanted known as the Beveridge Bill, and we would have to take either the Beveridge Bill or the Pearce bill at this session. "I told Senator Hemenway what Mr. Beveridge Baid. Hemenway told me to tell Beveridge for him if I saw him again that he was talking through his hat and that it was a damn poor hat at that. Hemenway said that Beveridge was bluffing to get up to take this legislation. "I saw Senators Carter and Aldrich and both of them laughed at Beveridge's statement. Senator Aldrich saying that his statement was simply ridiculous." Watson's Confession.

On May 7, 1908, Mulhall wrote: "Watson has made a confession to j me and it is this; all this scare about ; injunction bills and an amendment to j the Sherman law and such legisla-; tion was all gotten up by him and the .' Speaker for the purpose of flooding ' the President with letters and to stop ;
