representatives, tonight presented to
the house lobby Investigating com
mittee a sweeping charge of corrup
tlon against Representative James B,
McDermott, of Illinois, for years his
sponsor. With intense earnestness
McMlobaela, In picturesque language,
corroborated the allegations of Mar
tin M. Mulhall against McDermott,
ind made additional charges, at times
shocking the committee and specta
tors with outbursts of profanity and
slang.
The witness declared that for years
he had exerted every effort to sup
port McDermott had loaned him
money, had helped him In his cam
paigns. Now, he said, McDermott
had "thrown him down" and he felt
be must tell the truth.
In addition to the charges already
irade, McMlchaels swore that the
Chicago representative told him that
he received $7,500 out of a fund ot
110,000 railed by the pawnbrokers of
"Washington to oppose a bill pasted
in the last congress regulating In

with , George H. Horning, a local
pawnbroker.

Micbaeln testified that Congressman

Into Next Week,
LETTER SHOWN
ATLANTA, Aug. 15. Attorneys for
tLeo M. Frank, on trial here for the.
pnurder of Mary Phagan, tonight an
Siounced that probably one hundred
pi ore witnesses would be introduced by
the defense before the case is closed.
This was understood to mean that in
stead of ending next week, as had
been predicted, the trial would extend
well into next week. Solicitor General
Dorsey had previously stated that the
prosecution would present extended
evidence in rebuttal, in the attempt to
discredit character witnesses who have
testified for Frank.
The chief point of interest at to
day's session was the admission as evi
dence of a letter written by Frank to
jM. Frank, his uncle, who was in New
,Tork at the time the murder was dis
covered. This letter, the defense
claimed was written on April 26, at
about the hour when the state charged
Frank killed the little' factory girl.
It contained mention of the memorial
day parade and other current events,
and the statement that "nothing start
ling" had happened since M. Frank
left Atlanta. Attorneys for the prose
cution objected vigorously to the ad
mission of this letter as evidence, but
Judge Roan ruled that it was compe
tent . .
A number of witnesses were intro
duced today by the defense for the
purpose of fixing as far as possible,
every move made by Frank on the day
of the murder, In cross-examining
these witnesses, the prosecution con
tinued its line of inquiry as to Frank's
conduct toward the women employes

state of New York.
Replying to a formal proposal by
the Impeached executive to submit
the issue to adjudication of an agreed
state of facU, Mr. Glynn tonight de
clared it was beyond his power to
"barter away any of the functions
attaching to the office In which I am
placed by your impeachment"
"Any attempt on my part to do so,"
he said, "or to stipulate a method by
which it might be done, would prop
erly place me in the position you now
ocoupy that of being Impeached .for
malfeasance In offloe."
Mr. Giynn declared further that
he proposed to perform every func
tion of the office of governor "ex
cept insofar as I am restrained by
your illegal action or by physical
force."
The announcement of the lieuten
ant-governor's policy came late to
night, and followed negotiations be
tween respective counsel for the two
men late this afternoon, which it was
then supposed had reeultd in vir
tual agreement to take, the , cast to

Mr. Glynn's letter, addressed, to

Jane Ad dams, of Chicago, tonight ad
dressed a mass meeting marking the
conclusion of a conference here of
the National Council of Women
Voters, representing about 4,000,000
feminine voters in four western
states.
Urging the need for universal wo
men's suffrage, Miss Addams declared
that women should have the franchise
not only to bring about Intelligent
humanitarian legislation, but in order
to be in a position to follow it into
intelligent enforcement. "Women,"
said she. "has discovered that the un
represented are always liable to be
given what they do not need by legis
lators who merely wish to placate
them. A child labor law exempt
street trad;, the most dangerous of
all trades to the child's morals. A
low releasing mothers from petty in
dustry that they may rear worthy
children provides so inadequate a
pension that overburdened women
continue to face the necessity of neg
lecting their young In order to feed
them."
The final session of the council to
day discuhsed plans for the new
tureau of political education for wo
men votero. Misa Helen Todd, of San
Francisco, was placed in charge of
the burea.i. which will undertake to
mold the feminine voters into a co
heslvw body.
The couicil endorsed: ' '

.Governor Must Approve
Requisition For Militia
Supplies.
WILL BE HELD tTP
WASHINGTON, Aug. 16 The Unit
ed States government soon may be
confronted with the problem of de
termining whom it will, recognise as
governor of Now York.
Under the Dick law, by which the
national guard enjoys government aid.
requisitions for arms, ammunition,
supplies and transportation must be
approved by the governor. There is
the possibility of this situation coming
up in connection with some militia
maneuvers at Peekskill, N. T., in Sep
tember.
The war department however, it Is
stated would not attempt the respon
sibility of deciding between Bulzer and
Glynn, but would hold up New York's
requisitions until the state legislature
or courts decide the disputes.
Another way in which the question
may come up in a more pressing man
ner, and one which officials regard as
probable, would be in an extradition
case. Should some foreign govern
ment ask for a person in New York
state, the federal government would
be compelled to call upon the govern
or and in that way recognize one of
the contestants.
White house officials Indignant at
intimations that President Wilson has
expreaed any opinion in the Bulzei
case, reiterated today that the federal
government would not be Involved.
There is every effort apparent on the
part of the executive departments U
keep out of the dispute.

HUERTA KNOWS
U.S. VIEWPOINT ON
MEXICAN TROUBLE
Personal Conferences Between Lind
and Gamboa Have Informed Him

Statement Not
WASHINGTON, Aug. 15. Th Hu-I
erta government, through conferences)
in Mexico City between John Lind,
President Wilson's personal represen
tative and. Foreign Minister Oambo,
now knows the viewpoint ot the Unit
ed States and Its desires for only a
peaceful and friendly solution of Mex
ico's trouble. The formal communt
cation Mr. Lind bears will not be
j handed to Mexico before Monday at
least when It also will be transmitted
to diplomatic representatives of for
eign powers in Washington,
Hopeful Feeling.
What the result of publishing these
views will be, officials here do not
venture to predict. They have no as
surance that the Huerta government
will accept them but they believe the
spirit thus far shown by the Huerta
officials Justifies a hopeful feeling for
the success of Mr. Llnd's mission.
Observers of the situation generally
look for a pronouncement of some
kind from Huerta Immediately fol
lowing the presentation of President
Wilson's message through Mr. Lind.
It is expected In diplomatic circles
that President Huerta will formally
announce a call for an early election
even setting the date.
Constitutionalists hitherto have
claimed they would not engage In any
election in which the Huerta govern
ment exercised control over the elec
tion machinery. The possibility af nn
agreement, however, for a nonpartisan
committee of Mexicans to conduct the
election is being discussed and should
the situation actually progress to that
point It may be that informal efforts
will be made by Mr. Lind to secure
participation by the constitute tallet
leaders in such a plan.
Information Vague
Information, however, of only the
vaguest character has been forthcom
Ing from officials as to the eventual
ities thst would follow a posatiln re
jection of President Wilson's Ideas by
the Huerta government Thr Is no
Intention at prin.it 't lifting the em
bargo on arms; In fact, tbs president
is said to have taken a strong position
against It, at least until all peaceful
means of settlement have been ex-
hausted.
"There Is a -confident and conspicu
ous fooling of optimism, however,
among administration officials that a
peaceful settlement Is in sight, though
they admit the delicacy of th situa
tion forbids any detailed discussion at
this time of the circumstances on
which their hopes are based.
Shirley C. Hulse, son-in-law of Lieu
tenant Governor Reynolds, of Penn
sylvania, who with his wife and child,
were believed by Senator Penrose to
be in Imminent danger from revolu
tionists, are now safe In the city of
Chihuahua. This information reached
the state department today from an
American who had Just reached the
border from Chihuahua.
With the Hulse family were said, to
be many other Americans waiting for
the opening up of the railroad to leave
Chihuahua for the United States.
Others concerning whom Inquiries

Q am boa, in the two conferences he
has had with John Lind, cam to the
conclusion, with th consent ot Pres
ident Huerta, that the simplest way
to an end was to accept the dncu
ment for President Huerta and his
Cabinet and study it.
It would appear now that as the
message has been In the possession
of the Huerta government sine
Thursday night and no action con
cerning it has yet been announced,
the government is not disposed sum
marily to reject It.
The government remains silent re

Lind this afternoon, with th consent
of Senor Uamboa, admitted for th
first time to American newspaper
correspondents that hs had held con
ferences with th Mexican minister
of foreign affairs, adding that they
had been cordial in character.
While neither of the principals will
admit the fact, information has been
obtained that th object of Mr, Llnd's
visit to Honor Oamboa lata last night
was to deliver President Wilson's
note. At an indication of th deter
mination of Mr. Lind to so conducj
himself that h can't be criticised
for talking too much In unofficial
quarters, he today refused to grant
an Interview to ft group ot well
known politicians, including a num
ber of members of the chamber of
deputies. Th group belong to what
Is known as th reform element and
were close supporter ot th late

them that until his official mission
was fulfilled he did not desire to dl
