STARTED PROBE OF
THE STEEL COMBINE
Says Getting a Resolution In
troduced in Congress is as
Easy as Taking Candy From
a Baby.
WASHINGTON'. July 2. A sweep
ing' investigation of tho lobbying
charges .made by Martin M. Mulhall.
involving members of the house, will
Le authorized by tho houso probably
on .Saturday. After two hours of
heated discussion Wednesday the
house referred the matter to the rules
committee with instructions to report
out a resolution giving the committee
broad inquisitorial powers to probe
tho matter.
Chairman Henry called a meeting of
the rules committee for Thursday
morning to begin the work of framing
the resolutions.
WASHINGTON, July 2. A story of
misrepresentation, impersonation of
public men, and organized effort to
iniiucncc Wall st. financiers, proba
bly without parallel in the history of
congressional investigation, was un
folded today before the senate lobby
committee.
A prosperous looking, self-possessed
individual, calling himself David La
mar of New York, self-described as an
' operator in stocks," and admittedly
the bearer of several assumed names,
was the principal in the remarkable
t ess ion.
Ho telephoned to llnancial men and
lawyers in the names of liep. Palmer
and Bcp. Riordan. Ho assumed the
guisv of Chairman JlcCombs of tho
democratic national committee, to
telephone Chairman Hilles of the re
publican national committee.
Louis Cas.-? Ledyard of New York,
counsel for the Morgan ilrm, was one
of his attempted victims. Mr. Led
yard came to the witness stand Wed
nesday armed with almost a verbatim
account of all the conversations held
with Umar, who had represented
himself as Congressman Palmer. As
he read the record of the conversa
tions, in themselves unusual in their
tone, Umar, sitting nearby, laughed
and nodded, saying, "that's right," and
slapping his leg with apparent enjoy
ment. The purpose of his Impersonations,
Lamar contended, was to secure rein
statement for his friend. Edward Lau
terbach, in the good graces of the
Morgan firm.
To Appear Today.
Members of the committee Wed
nesday night demanded that I-amar
remain in Washington for reappear
ance Thursday. Edward Lauterbach,
who recently testified before the com
mittee, was recalled from New Y'ork
by telegraph Wednesdav night: and
Henry B. Martin, a local man who
has figured as head of the "Anti-trust
league," was also subpenaed to ap
pear. Lamar declared he prepared the
resolution for the Stanley investiga
tion of the Steel trust; that it was
given to Martin, who gave it to Con
gressman Stanley. Subsequently, he
said, it was Introduced In the houso
of representatives by Mr. Stanley with
but a few "technical changes" from
its original form.
Paul 1). Cravath, one of tho attor
neys for the Union Pacific, and Max
well Evarts, counsel for the Southern
Pacific, testified briefly as to their ex
periencej with the telephone imper
sonator. During' his testimony early
in the day. Earn a r interjected an at
tack upon the Union Pacific, claiming
there had been a defalcation in the
books of the company in 19(.1 by
which nearly JSO.ooO.OOO had disap
peared from Its surplus.
Mr. Cravath immediately denied
this, terming Einiar a "liar," a char
acterization which the committee in
Fisted should be withdrawn. Cravath
declared the attack had been expected
for several days, its a part of the bear
raid to depress the value of the stock
for speculative purposes.
While Lamar was on the stand,
Chairman Overman endeavored to
make him give his real name, but tho
witness refused. He admitted under
Overman's questioning, that he had
been in Denver under the name of
David H. Lewi?, but denied he had
used the name of Simon Wolfe. He
said L'imar was not his name, but
declined to give the committee further
infe rmation.
The last subject touched upon was
the preparation of the resolution for
an investgation of the Steel trust by
congress.
"You do not mean to say you could
introduce a resolution in congress?"
Inquired Sen. Cummins.
"Why, that is just as easy as tak
ing candy from a baby," replied La
mar. He said he prepared tho resolution
because he was tired f the persecu
tion of him because of his opposition
to Steel corporation plans. He said
he did not send Liuterbaeh to Mor
:an and Steel people with informa
tion that the resolution was in his
possession, but lauterbach went on
his own accord, after pleading with
Limar to allow hi;:i just one more
opportunity to heal the breach be
tween the Morgan interests and La
ma r.
"Don't you appreciate that the or
dinary inference from this would be
that you were trying to blackmail
them?" asked Sen. Walsh.
conversations with the men
would show that was not my object,"
-aa the reply.

STEAMER ON FIRE;
ASSISTANCE ASKED
Tank Ship Sioux, Which Left New
York Wcvliuxlay, Is Said to
bo In Dire Straits.
NEW YORK. July 2. The Morgan
line steamer Comus, New York for
New Orleans, sent a wireless mes
sage early this evening reporting the
steamer Sioux on lire off Barnegat.
The fire was not under control when
the "tJ-spatch was sent. The German
tank steamer Sioux, 3,04 9 tons, Capt.
Lotze, sailed from New Y'ork Wed
nesday for Tuxpan, Mexico.
Atmospheric conditions were so bad
Wednesday night that only the power
ful wireless stations here were able
to catch the original message from
the Comus and two hours later noth
ing further had been heard from her
or other vessels near the point
where the Sioux was reported burn
ing. Efforts to get additional news
by wireless were still continuing but
the unfavorable conditions were a de
cided handicap.
When word first came from the
Comus the local fire boat New Y'orker
went put at full speed.
Word regarding tho .Sioux finally
came in a wireless message from the
United Fruit steamer Santa Marta,
nearing this port from Colon. The
Santa Marra reported that she had
been notified by the Sioux that the
fire was under control and that the
tank steamer was in no further need
of assistance.

INTERURBAN CLAIM MAN
BECOMES AN ATTORNEY
Floyd O. Jelllson, for the past five
years claim agent for the Chicago,
South Bend and Northern Indiana
Railway Co., was admitted to the St.
Joseph county bar Thursday morning
and will become connected with a
leading law firm in a few days. He
has resigned his position with the
street car companv and will be suc
ceeded by Atty. F. C. Gabriel.
Mr. Jelllson was a member of this
year's graduating class from Notre
lXime university. He has been study
ing law for six years, having studied
in Chicago before attending Notre
Dame. Previous to his connection
with the railway he was a school
teacher in Whitley county, where he

sition Mr. Jelllson has had charge of
all of the claim case In which his
company waa involved.
FROM HEAT OF
oura
Temperature Goes Up to 93 on
Wednesday and Another
Death Due to Excessive Heat
is Reported.
NOT ENOUGH WAGONS TO
HANDLE ICE FOR CITY
Only Decent Promise Weather
Man Can Make is That It
May Rain in Northern Part
of the State on Friday.
The city's relief from the heat
was of short duration as tho tempera
ature climbed back to the 90 decree
mark Wednesday and for a time dur
ing tho day was hovering at the 93
stage, only four degrees cooler than
during Monday and Sunday the two
hottest days of tho year.
Another death was added to the
heat's toll In the person of William
Miltonberger at the county infirmary.
Mlltonberger ato breakfast at the In
stitution at 6:30 o'clock and died 15
minutes later. He suffered from heart
trouble, but the heat was a direct
cause of his death. He is survived
by Mrs. Sablna Berger. 1202 E. Col
fax av., a sister, and several children
who reside out of the city.
People aro suffering further, owing
to their inability to get sufficient ice
to prepare the cooling drinks that are
so much in demand these days;. Ac
cording to the ice men they aro able
to reach only their regular customers
and in some cases even these have to
bo neglected.
Took Down Receivers.
One local firm it is alleged during
the hot days had the receivers on Us
telephones down in order not to be
bothered with the calls from disap
pointed customers. The officers
claimed that they were keeping all
their wagons going and can not get
the Ice around fast enough to satisfy
the people.
It Is not thought that the city will
suffer from any ice famine. There
was plenty of ice left over from the
winter a year ago when the record
crop of tho season was harvested and
as last summer was a cool one, there
was not much demand force. Then j
there was plenty harvested last winter.
The real trouble seems to be that
the local dealers have not the facili
ties to send the ico around as fast as
the people need it. The demand this
.year is far above normal as everyone
seems anxious to help relieve the sit
uation, by cooling drinks.'
Leeper park was a busy scene Wed
nesday. The wading pool at the east
ern end of the park was crowded from
morning to night. The little tots who
are unable to take advantage of the
swimming place on the river put the
pool to good uses. They waded and
rolled around all day and didn't seem
to mind the blazing sun.
Swimming Pool Crowded.
The swimming pool was crowded
during the day. This seems to be a
popular spot .with the boys from
about 3 to 15 and all during the day
the space which has been prepared
by the park board was dotted by
heads and bathing suits. When Prof.
Eduard Koenig, who. is in charge of
the swimming pool, announced that
it was quitting time, he had a hard
task on his hands to make the boys
desert the pool, even at noon when
lunches were waiting them at home.
Parks were popular again Wednes
day night and were crowded up to
the hour when the park policemen are
supposed to inform the couples and
the others that it is going home time.
Coats were among those missing,
while even some of the strongest op
ponents to the split skirt admitted
that it would be a big help on such
nights.
The weather man doesn't hold out
any good word for today. According
to the official forecast issued last
night it's going to be fair and possi
bly warmer. Friday he says may see
some rain In the northern part of
the state and if this prediction comes
true It will help local citizens.
It is reported that because of the
continued dry weather vegetation on
the lighter and eandier soils Is dam
aged considerable, while on the heav
ier soils the crops will be able to hold
out still longer without rain.
The last heavy rain fell on May 26
and 27, when a total of 2 1-2 inches
fell. Although since then South Rend
and vicinity has had several light
showers, it has in all not amounted
to over three-quarters of an inch.

THE GREAT AMERICAN HOME.
M
iss Tobin Gives Her
Impressions of Picnic
BY MARGARET TOBIN.
Wednesday was a great day for
Plymouth.
When the speolal train carrying the
Ellsworth store picnic party delivered
its freight of laughing, shrieking,
romping girls and boys they were
all girls and boys for the time being
at the Vandalia station, the whole
populace was assembled on porches
and street corners, waiting In pleased
anticipation to welcome their tri
umphal entrance.
The demonstration fully realized
their expectations. It was as good as
a Fourth of July celebration, county
fair, and political rally, rolled into
one.
The parade was in constant review
from the station to the fair grounds.
Little boys followed It on foot and on
bicycles ami it left a trail of fluttering
excitement and comment In Its wake
Banners "Got" Them,
Ellsworth banners were distributed
by a lavish hand along the way. The
little penants were tho touch of na
ture that won the townsfolk and took
them into the fun. The boys fasten
ed them on their bicycles. They were
used to decorate horses and vehicles.
And the women, after carefully read
ing the Inscription thereon, tacked
them up on their porches. A thous
and of the little whltte banners flut
tered in the breeze. It was surely
Ellsworth day In Plymouth.
They reserved their comment until
the parade had passed when they had
a great deal to say. They all agreed
that the girls were pretty, most of
them. They thought it a shame that
a town so large as South i3end should
provide no proper place to hold a pic
nic. They approved of the wisdom
that had selected the Plymouth fair
grounds, there could bo no better
choice, they were sure.
It stimulated tho imagination of one
man to hope great things for Plym
outh. "Look there," said he to hia neigh
bor, "all them people came clear from
South Bend to have a picnic In our
park. Just see what an advertise
ment that is for Plymouth. I allers
said that If we'd spend a couple of
thousand dollars on that park we'd
have crowds a comin' in here every
week."
And his neighbor agreed with every
word he said. Thus is enterprise
stimulated.
The First Visitor.
Just as the party had begun on the
dinner the village wag excuse me.

ist appeared and introduced himself
as the master of ceremonies. As Is
always the luck of wit he was seated

NOTRE DAME GRADUATES
PASS OHIO BAR EXAMS
Word has been received by friends
In this city that six members of this
year's graduating class In the law de
partment of No:re Dame have passed
the examinations In the state of Ohio
and admitted tD practice. They are
Michael Daugherty of Lancaster, O.,
F. VV. Durbin or Kenton. James
O'Hara of Cincinnati, Don Hamilton

Ryan
at their right hand and invited to help
himself.
Between his sallies he established
the relationship between the Ells
worth store and Plymouth. W. K.
Lamport, tho advertising manager, of
course he knew him. Knew Bill
since he was a little snaver. He was
proud to know he had grown up to
be the tlrst aid to the commander-in-chief
of an enterprise like that.
And there were the Smith girls,
they grew up near him, right down
there by Pretty lake. He knew them
well before they went to the city to
make their careers in the industrial
world. And the Jones girl, her
grandmother lived just down the
street from him, about two blocks.
Popular With Giris.
The wag was a fat man who had
found it expedient not to abandon
suspenders, but that did not interfere
with his popularity. The girls show
ered attentions on him, a half dozen
hanging on each arm. They decorat
ed him "wiih the colors of their re
spective ball teams and it was only
by a stratagem that he made his es
cape from them and went down town
to spread the report of the "doins" on
the hill.
During the afternoon the neighbors
came in bunches" of twos and threes
to observe and comment. Even the
cows came up for a look. Many of
them not the cows, of course stay
ed to visit and to compliment the
party on its foresight iri coming to
Plymouth. Those who were there at
supper time stayed. Even the dray
men, come to haul away the para
phernalia, were honored guests.
The townsfolk had considered the
parade in the morning interesting.
The "glow worm" parade in the even
ing was a brilliant, dazzling, demon
stration, the like of which they had
never dreamed. As it took its vivid,
undulating way down the principal
streets, headed by the Plymouth band
the entire population gathered to see.
Came to Say Good Bye.
"Its bigger than the Fourth of July,
ain't It?" shouted one woman to her
neighbor across the street.
"I should say," she shouted back.
The crowd closed in behind th pa
rade and followed it about. They
assembled n maise at the station to'
wave good bye. Tho band played
"Home, Sweet Home", and "Auld
Lang Syne" by way of regret and in
vitation. The shout that went up

STABBED VETERANS
Man Who Cairns to be Gen

it is Charged.
GETTYSBURG. Ta.. Ju W. P.
Henry, who claims t 1 n son of
i:r;. Gen. Henry f Virginia, is held
here Thursday a-; one .f two men who
stabbed seven persons in tho Gettys
burg hotel Wednesday nUht.
The right followed a remark alleg
ed to have been passed between H nry
and his companions defaming Lin
coln's name. A ve teran remonstrate J,
and a general struggle ensued dur
ing which seven men were stabbed.
Henry denies that he was impli
cated in the light, asserting that ho
saw the man with the knife and
knocked him down.
Positive identification of Henry
as the man who did the stabbing waa
made, however, by Capt. John Gold
thwaite, of ?alem. Mass., who was in
the hotel at the time.
"You're the man." said Goldthwaitrt
addressing Henry. "I saw you Mali
every one of those seven persons.
You made a rush at me, too, and if I
hadn't ducked, you would have stab
be d me."
The wounded men aro: Edward J.
Carroll, sergeant of the quartermas
ter's corps, U. S. A.; Iavid Fauber of
Butler, Pa., a member of Uio Ma to
constabulary; John I. Maugin, Har
risburg; Malcolm Gritlin, Bedford

ris burg.
Farber, Maugin and Grillin ar? In
the most serious condition. Their
wounds were in the left breast and
the surgeons at the Pennsylvania
State hospital would not venture pre
dictions as to their chance of recov
ery. Startexl Suddenly.
According to all the information
the authorities could gather, the light
started suddenly and was over in a
few minutes. It began shortly before
7 o'clock, when the dining room was
full of people and caused a panic;
among th' scores of guests. The old
veteran, who was unhurt and disap
peared in the melee, was sitting near
Farber and Carroll, when lie heard tho
slighting remarks about Lijieiln. He
jumped to his feet and began to de
fend the martyred prtsident and be
rate his tie tractors.
The men who were stabbed, accord
ing to the information the surgeons
gathered, jumped to the defense of the
veteran when the others closed in.
Knives wen out In a second and thv
room was thrown into an uproar.
Women tied for the doors and crowd
ed to the windows ready to jump to
the street below. It was all over be
fore the rest of the men in the room
could get their breath and the men
responsible for it all had got out and
away. The right spurred the medical
men again Wednesday night to an f
fort to have the Gettysburg- saloons
closed during the remainder of the
encampment.
Here is another story that wander
ed into camp Wednesday and although
the names are missing from the way
the old veterans are showing the:r
willingness to forget it e..ms entirely
believal.de
"Two veterans, one in blue, and
the other in gray, met down town in
Gettysburg. They literally fell In
one another's arms, and aft-r a tour
of the town they hit upon a great
scheme. They walked hand in hand
through the streets to a hardware,
bought a hatchet and tramped a mil
and a half to the battb tield. Th
hunted up the Blood;,- angle, where
Pickett's charge reached its crest, dug
a hole In the ground there and with
tears and more embraces, "burVd th
hatchet."
So many ras-s hav been reported
of veterans losing their return rail
re.ad tickets and the consequent dis
tress becauye of tli- inability to pur
chase transportation that G.'.v. Ten r
