INTERMANN A PERJURER
Admits That He Testified Falsely to
Save His Comrades.
STEERS is VERY INDIGNANT
in the Person of Saloon Keeper.
Hattie Ross Was Protected.
Schmittbcrgcr Arrested.
By the United Press.

By the United Press.
New York, Dec 19.-The usual crowd
was present when the session of the
LeXow committee opened this morning.
Policeman Intermann was the first
witness today and he admitted he per-
jured himself, when previously before
the committee, to save two other police
men who are accused of taking bribes
Intermann said that it was an under
stood obligation on the force that the
police should stand by one another and
that was why he had perjured himself
Sergeant Patrick Byrne testified that
money collected by the police on duty
around the steamship wharves from
the owners and agencies of the different
lines was given to Inspector Steers.
Ex-Inspector Steers was present when
the committee met. He was served
with a subpoena. There were rumors
afloat that indictments had been found
by the grand jury against Policeman
Intermann and others. Captain An
thony j. Allaire was called and detailed
his investment in real estate. He was
worth $S4, 600, the savings of forty years.
He declared that any one who testified
that he had received Christmas pres
ents from liquor dealers swore falsely.
Hattie Ross, colored, keeper Of dis
orderly houses, testified to paying for
police protection. She ran six houses
and had not been disturbed in six years.
Police Captain SChmlttberger was ar
rested shortly after o'clock this even
ing. No new indictment was found
against him, but the district attorney
had been notified by Mr.. Golf that he
had learned that Schmittberger in
tended to escape, from the city. 1t was
deemed advisable, therefore, to increase
the amount Of his bail in order to in
sure his appearance when desired
The arrest was made at police head
quarters, to which place Schmittberger
had been summoned, and he was at
once taken to the district attorneys
Office. The new bail was fixed at $4,000
and the captains friends are now seek
ing bondsmen. 1t had been expected
that Herman Oelrichs would become
surety.

Lawyer Semplc Attempts Original Jug
gIcry in the Effort TO Defeat the
Ends of Justice i'll the Case
of Theodore Lambert.

Camden, N. J., Dec. ia peculiar
John l.. Semple before Judge Garrison
in behalf Of Theodore Lambert, who is
under sentence to be hanged on Jan. 8.
Lambert was convicted of murder on
May q last and sentenced Oct. IS to be
hanged on Dec. 13. On Dec. A Lawyer
Semple obtained from the governor a
reprieve for Lambert until Jan 3,
pending application to the board of
pardons for a Communication of sent.
ence. The board of pardons on Thurs
day last refused to commute the sent
ence. In court today Mr. Semple de-
clared that his client, although not nav
ing been executed on the day legally
deslgnated-Dec 13-was legally dead.
Being dead, the law had no more con-
troll over him or his body.
Such being the case, Lambert was
now being Illegally restrained of his
liberty, and a writ of habeas corpus
was therefore asked of the court to set
him free.
"Humph," calculated Judge Garri-
son. as the application was made to
him, legally dead and yet alive; got
no life and yet wants his liberty"
Scmple's Peculiar Points.
Mr.. Semple went on to argue that ac-
cording to the laws of New Jersey the
governor Of the state possessed no
perorgative to interfere to prevent an
execution unless he exercised same
within ninety days from the date Of
conviction.
The ninety days had passed when
Governor Werts granted the reprieve
The stay of execution being, therefore,
invalid and the legal day of execution
| having passed, the law has no more
control of Lambert.
In arguing with the governor for re-
prieve when the governor contended
that the ninety days limit had expired,
Mr.. Semple claims that the conviction
| accompanied the sentence and not the
verdict and that, therefore, it was
then within the ninety days. Judge
Garrison set down next Saturday to
hear and determine whether he would
grant Lambert the writ asked for or
not.

finding himself many miles from New

The Action Taken by American Arch.
bishops in Reference to Secret Societies
Not ADnroycd
NOT ApprONed. 4
BY the United Pres.

BY the United Press.
New York, Dec 19.-The Brooklyn
Eagle this evening prints the following:
Bishop Mcdonnell had a surprise in
store for the clergymen of the diocese
when they assembled yesterday in the
diocesan seminary to participate in
the regular quarterly conference. The
bishop announced that he was in re-
ceipt of a communication from Mgr
SatolH. The communication was writ
ten in Latin and 1t stated that the apos-
tolic delegate had been ininstructed by
Rome to notify the archbishops, bish-
ops and priests of the United States
that the action taken by the American
archbishops relative to secret and semi
secret societies, at meeting held by
them in Chicago, has been ridiculed by
the college of cardinals and by the
pope.
The meeting in Chicago was held at
the residence of Archbishop Feehan,
and though it was known that one of
the topics to be discussed would be the
attitude of the Catholic church toward
secret societies no information as to
the results of this meeting was given
out.
The letter read at the conference was
received by the papal delegate. This
letter contains the information that
the Knights Of Pythias, the Odd Eel
lows, and the Sons of Temperance are
now under the ban of the Catholic
church, and the Catholics who join any
Of these three societies will be eXcom-
municated.
Those Catholics who are now mem
bers of one or more of these societies
will be eXhorted to sever their connec-
ton with them, and If they refuse, they
will, from that moment and by their re-
fusal, cease to be Catholics. The de-
crees affect no other country save the
United States
