; fNatfonal News Association) ' WASHINGTON, July 18. In an effort to prevent the lobby investigation from causing an enormous waste of time, the Overman senate committee today assigned clerks to examine the 123,000 In the lies of the National Association of Manufacturers which have been turned over to the committee to cull out the letters which have the greatest bearing on the inquiry. The first letter put in the records today showed that Mulhall wrote to Chairman Stewart of the Republican headquarters at Baltimore In August, 1908, saying he would pay Stewart's expenses for Sidney E. Mudd in the latter's campaign. D. M. Parry was engaged at this time in lining up the brewers to the support of James E. Watson for governor of Indiana, according to a letter from S. C. Schwedtman, secretary to President Van Cleave, to Mulhall. Schwedtman said he was anxiious to get the Wisconsin political situation in a satisfactory condition. He was angry because Marshall Cushing, former secretary of the National Association of Manufacturers, was constantly opposing the plans of the association. Needed Indiana Badly. "Why doesn't he come straight out for Bryan and be done with it?" asked Schwedtman. "I am sorry to see that our Indiana friends are so pessimistic. We must win in Indiana. That should be our battle cry, much as it used to be 'Pikes Peak or Bust. " Senator Hemenway, Joseph Schopf of Indianapolis, and other brewers conferred in August. "I met Mr. Sheff, and I am positive we have accomplished all we came over for. He stated he had seen several of the leading brewers of Indiana and Illinois," wrote Mulhall, "and they wish to work with the Republican organization if they are given a chance to do so. "Before leaving Indiana Mr. Watson impressed upon me the importance of this piece of work, stating that he knew the saloon interests of Indiana would cast 30,000 votes against him. But he was not so much afraid of their vote as he was of the $250,000 that they would put into the last part of the campaign against him." ASKED SECRET HELP Wfltson Conspired With Breweries, is Hjt f t Mulhall Charge. WASHINGTON. July IS. In his testimony before the lobby committee yesterday Colonel Martin M. Mulhall, boss lobbyist for the National Association pf Manufacturers, struck a new lead. The major part of his testimony, beginning early in the forenoon and lasting until 5 o'clock, the quitting time, bore on the Indiana campaign of 190S. The versatile and belligerent colonel sprang a new sensation and provided material for a close cross-examination of James E. Watson when the latter goes on the stand. He charged that, while Mr. Watson was running for governor on a county local option platform and was bringing all of his eloquence to play on the stump in denouncing the rum traffic, he and his managers were' in secret negotiations with the brewers, and that several meetings were held for the purpose of getting the brewers in line, Mr. Watson saying that he was rightfully entitled to their support because of the services he had rendered to the breving interests as a member of congress in Washington. According to Colonel Mulhall, the late Vice President Sherman and former Senator James A. Hemenway were go-betweens in trying to get the brewers in sympathy with Watson's candidacy, and later on in the testimony It will be charged that former Vice President Fairbanks and spafier Cannon also offered advice on that subject Says Schaf Conferred. Colonel Mulhall says that Joseph C. Schaf, a well-know n Indianapolis brewer, was the representative of the brewers in these negotiations, and numerous letters were put in evidence to substantiate the colonel's assertion that every effort was made to pacify the brewers and get them to overlook the county option plank in the platform, not only because of "what Mr. Watson had done for them in Washington," but on account of what he would be able to do for them in the future. On August 14, lf0S. Colonel Mulhall, who had been busy in other states following the Republican state convention in Indiana, returned to Indianapolis to help Mr. Watson to win the election. He lost no time in reporting to his superior officers in the National Association of Manufacturers in regard to conditions in Indiana. In a report to J. T. Bird, 170 Broadway, New York, eastern representative of the association. Colonel Mulhall, writing from Indianapolis, said: "I arrived here at 10:20 this a. m. and Instantly got to work. I have had a long conference with Mr. Frederick Sims, chairman of the Indiana Republican state committee., and other Republican leaders of this city, and this evening at 6 p. ra. I will leave bare for RushviUe. to meet tha candidate tor governor at his tome in Rush-

(Miss Eltisha Jordan is here shown in her bare-foot bathing costume and in her street costume.) ROCHELLE, N. Y July 18. Miss P:itisha Jordan has heard a story to the effect that the Mayor has made remarks about her appearance at the public bathing beach in Hudson Park, where she enjoys a long swim every day unhampered by "silly stockings." Miss Jordan declares she does not wear stockings when swimming because they retard her progress in the water. She declares the only way the Mayor and the City Council can compel her to wear hose with her bathing costume is by passing an ordinance to that effect.

SERVICE BADGES GIVEN TO RICHMOND OFFICERS

Some of the Men Object to Displaying the "Stars and Bars," But the Chief Will Require It. Stars and bars for the service insignia of the patrolmen were distributed this afternoon by Chief of Police Gorraon in accordance to an order of the board of police commissioners recently. The patrolmen have taken very decided stands on the matter of wearing the service badges and although some are pleased to display to the public the length of time they have served as city protectors, others are opposed to such display. The patrolmen have designated the badges as the "sky stuff." Henry Westenberg, the veteran of the force, was the first to receive his official badge and when he was handed the piece of blue cloth bearing five stars and four bars in representation of his twenty-nine years of service, he declared that he would sew them on his coat and then discard that apparel for SEITERS OFFERED ATI I! Wheeling Man, May Succeed Horton As Physical Director. Acting upon the recommendation of the committee for the selection of a Y. M. C. A. physical director to take the place of Roy Horton. who will take a similar position with the Indianapolis association in August, the directors offered the position to J. E. Seiters. who has been physical director of the Wheeling (V. Va.) association for the last year. Seiters secured his training in th Chicago training school. No word had been received from him late this afternoon as to whether he would accept or decline. ville, and go over affairs with him. "The Democrats in this state are very sanguine of success, and it will require the hardest kind of work for our people to win out. At my interview with the state committee this afternoon, they requested me to be of service to them, and wish me to do all I possibly can to straighten this matteout: besides, they wish mo to get a thorough organization anions manufacturers of this city, and besides want me to take charge of the labor campaign completely; the state committee will have nothing to do w:th this end of the campaign. Of course, this will put me in touch with the entire Indiana delegation, and it will require active, hard and persistent work with considerable expense. "I will write you these facts, as I will want the active co-operation of yourself and the New York office. It will take considerable of my time here, so I am tinder the impression that you will have to take charge of the eastern end of my labor."

POSITION

the summer. Chief Gormon has now made a rule that the stars and bars must be worn at all times and if the patrolmen decide to remove their coats, the insignia must be displayed on uniform shirts. Want to Go Coatless. With the donning of the "sky stuff" the patrolmen have again started the movement for the removal of coats on hot days. Those who want to go coatless and wear uniform shirts during the summer are led by Henry Vogelsong while the opposing force is captained by Westenberg, who is not in favor of changing the regular police ujiiform. ' The number of years served by each patrolman is as follows: Westenberg,

29; Bundy, 21; Staubach, 20; McNally. j first sergeant, 16; Vogelsong, 16; I Wierhake, 16; Winters, second sergj eant, 15; Lawler, 13; Little, 11; Longi man, 7; Tingling, 7; Cully, 6; Remjmert, 6; Hirschfield, 6; Menke, 6; Fee, 3; Wenger 2; Rottinghaus, 2.j I Harper, Otte and Schlangen have served less than one year and will not receive service badges. The total number of years represented by all the patrolmen is 202. A COMPLAINT MADE BY LOCAL FIREMEN They Think That Policemen Should Also Pay Fares On Street Cars. Members of the Richmond fire department have advanced the claim that jthey are being discriminated against in favor of the members of the police i force by not being allowed to ride ; free of charge on street cars. They say that they have no complaint to , make by being deprived of their time- ' honored privilege of riding on cars I without paying fare, but they think ', the policemen should also be deprived ; of this privilege. Gordon Makes Reply, i In answer to this complain Alexan- ; dcr Gordon, local street railway superintendent, states that the law provides that exceptions may be made in ; the case of policemen in full uniform jwith their badges exposed; also Mrs. Elizabeth Candler, the local charity ; officer, w ould come under the exception made for charity officers. The firemen, who say that they have investigated the new utilities law, make a counter claim that the law provides for no exceptions whatever, stipulating that no person, firm, corporation, or officer of a nunicipality, shall receive rebates or discrimination from a public service corporation l will not pay any debt made by my wife after July 16. 1913. Walter J. Pleasant. 17-lt A CORRECTION Through an error in copying a birth eertiScate recently, the birth of a child to Mr. and Mrs. White, 92 Fort ! Wayne avenue, was given as a colored boy, when the family is white.

The committi v took lh- two proposed traffic ordinar.ce-s vhi-l w. re cast aside by council and will us im o!" the good features of these bills in new ordinances w hich will be present, d next Monday nitht. For this reason, the new ordinance will not compel the el,aii.-e of the street ear schedule as in the oilier lull. The traffic officer at Kighih ami Main streets will be given more authority in directing traffic. No iuururbans will be allowed to pass the corner while city cars are waiting r.o transfer passengers there. One bill provides that the street car company w ill be compelled to sprinkle or oil, according to the nature of the roadway, the part of the streets- ovtr which their tracks have right-of-way. When this is done, the city will make arrangements if possible to have the entire width of brick streets sprinkled by a street car sprinkler. The members of the committee believe that Richmond is far behind the times in the way the alleys are kept and would prevent any garbage gatherers to collect refuse from the alleys. An ordinance making it a public offense to gather such material in the alleys will be drafted and presented to council Monday night. It is asserted that trash gatherers other than those in the employ of the city are very particular as to what they take and throw what they do not want into the alleys. EMPLOYS CHILDREN TO Contractors in Wayne county never had to pay higher prices for teams or laborers, according to County Surveyor Peacock. As high as 2.25 is beiug paid for laborers and teams are scarce and hard to obtain at $5.50 per day. The contractors working on the roads in the county are seriously handicapped as a result of the scarcity of available men and in all probability home of them w ill be compelled to pay a forfeiture to the county because of their inability to get roads completed according to the specifications. Contractor Hipskind, who was awarded the contract for improving the roadway on the Liberty pike, has been compelled to resort to child labor, according to Peacock. Children there from 12 to 16 years of age are working on the road at a salary of $1.25 per day. Although this is a violation of the Child Labor law as the work is out of doors and not strenuous it is probable that no complaint will be made. MOSES MEYERS DIES SUDDENLY AT HOME (Palladium Special) CAMBRIDGE CITY, Ind., July 18. Moses Meyers, 85, died at his home, three and one-half miles north west of Cambridge City, at 12 o'clock today. He was one of the best known residents and largest land owner in Jackson township, where he owned about seven hundred acres of farm-land. He is survived by his widow, two sons, Moses of Cambridge City, and J. E. Meyers of Hagerstown; and two daughters, Mrs. E. O. Howard and Mrs. Orville Paul. The death was caused by heart trouble and was unexpected, although the deceased had been in poor health for about a year's time. HEAT FORCES GIRLS TO LEAVE BUILDING Although the four young women who were forced to leave their work on the second floor of the Richmond Raking company building yesterday because of the excessive heat, have not returned to work as yet, their conditio! -s are not considered serious. Nvie nf the girls were unconscious but all were taken to their homes. They were: Gaynelle Way, South Seventh street; Louise Brunner, S3!"t South Sixth street: Lydia Rncksrotte. 411 South Tenth street, Irene Jelly, 12 5 Souh Second street.

Davis, head of the city health department, will ask for an appropriation of $3,i) to be used in the construction and equipment of a new hospital far contagious and infectious diseases. An appropriation for this was made last y-ar, bur was used in making repairs on city streets.

F I t vv 5 .;3 -k -rjMRS RANDOLPH FITZHUGH. NEW YORK, July IS. In a last effort to save Mrs. Randolph Fitzhugh, the mysterious southern woman, of unquestioned culture and refinement, who confessed to stealing handbags from women worshippers In church. Creel M. Fulton, a Washington lawyer, commissioned by friends of the woman's family, has arrived in NewYork to reveal the past of the woman, whom many had idenified as the possible heroine of a hidden romance. According to Attorney Fulton she is a pitiful victim of fate. On her mother's side she is a descendant of the Randolphs and Fitzhughs of Virginia. Her right name is Fennell. When but sixteen years old, after a long siege of typhoid fever, she attempted to brain her fiance with a hatchet. She was placed in the Staunton, Ya., Insane Asylum, where she remained until 1911. In the meantime her parents had gone insane, and when the young woman was released she went to live with a sister in Washington. There she was lured into a mock marriage with a young lawyer, who later deserted her and ran off to Chicago. He sent her a regular monthly allowance. A baby was born. Mrs. Randolph came to New York in search of employment. The allowance was stopped. Driven to desperation at the thought of- her baby in want "Mrs. Randolph" committed the crime for which she is now facing prison. RESIGNATION OF MELLEN RECEIVED (National News Association) NEW YORK.
