NEW YORK, April 1S.-"Hart Nc
Kee is still desperately in love with his
pretty wife, and is using desperate
means to prevent her from getting a
divorce. There is not one word of truth
in the terrible stories manufactured by

the United States are aware of this"
This statement was made by Miss
Lille Lawlor, the California girl who
is one of the leading figures in the
Hart Mckee divorce suit, upon her re-
turn here from Paris.
The young woman emphatically de-
tends her friend and companion, Mrs.
Mckee. She denies that the former
wife of Hugh Tevis, of San Francisco,
has gambled away a fortune in high
play at Monte Carlo. Likewise she as
serts that there is no other man in
whom Mrs. Mckee is sufficiently inter
ested to prompt the present proceed
ings.
Miss Lawlor, who is wealthy, spends
a part of her time in Paris.

CALLS ON THE BANKS
SENATOR TILLMAN WANTS TO GET
 INFORMATION.
Hts Resolnticn Proposes to Investigate Acts Committed by the Natien- al Hnstitutions of New
 York City.

Washington, March 12.--Senator Till man today introduced resolution call ing on the Senate Committee on Finance to conduct an investigation and an- swer some pointed questions bearing on financial Legislation. The questions on which a report is asked are as fol- lows:
 .sWhether the national banks in the City of New York or elsewhere are in the habit. under the guise of commer- cial loans. of finishing permanent cap ital for speculative or other enterprises and if so what legislation is necessary to prevent continuance of such prac- tices.
 ewhether the Treasury Department has knowledge of the loans made by the National Bank of North America of New York City, which are the sub feet of a suit by the receiver of said bank against Charles W. Morse and of other similar transactions in other na- tional banks.
 by themselves or through other organ izations in attempting to control or dic- tate the legislation of Congress on cur rency measures.
 'sThe committee Is further instructed to ascertain what, if any, legislation is necessary to discourage or prevent the habit of persons holding the office of C0mpfTolleF or the UT OLnSF Treasury officials from making their offlces a stepping stone to employment by national banks
 whether national banks are using trust companies and other financial as- sociations as dummy agencies through which to transact business forbidden by the law governing national banks and what legislation Is necessary to prevent such evasion of the statutes.
 whether the national banks in New York City lent their credit to stock brokers by the certihcation or accept ance of checks during the years of 1906 and 1907 and report whether or not such transaction involved any violation of the provisions of Section s200 of the revised statutes as to making excess loans"
 Senator TiIinnan. in Introducing his resolution, asked that 1t be read and allowed to lie on the table. He added that he wanted to give ample oppor- tunity to have it's contents known, so there would be no suspicion in regard to it. He said he proposed to speak on this resolution next Monday.

 that there were a great many such men employed and that a great deal of money has been spent that way The air is full of it," he said. Mir. Lilley was asked by Mir. Olm- sted to give the names of attorneys employed by the Electric Boat Com pany in districts of members of the Naval Affairs Committee.
 John Kellogg" he replied 'of Wa terbury. Conn.,, in Mir. Sperry's district | and W. D. Gordon of Midvale, Mich. in MT. Loud's district. I have also been told of lawyer in Texas in MT, Grigg's district. I think his name is Coward. I do not think of any more at present. but if you will call these witnesses, I am satisfied in my own mind that you will discover more." T think there are few members of that committee they have given up. I l do not think you will unravel any in MT. Foss's district nor in Mir. Hob sons nor in that of Mir. Padgett. The Electric Company has attorneys in New York City where Mir. Olcott lives. I do not know whether they are in his district. Frost and Johnson live there and l have been told of others. but I have forgotten their names" Mir. Lillev mentioned the fact that he had consulted with former Senator Thurston, of this city, who Is the at torney here for the Lake Submarine Boat Company, but insisted that that gentleman had not formulated his (Lil- ley's) charges.
 COIsOGuy With OImsted. T understand I am not on trial here" suggested MT. Lilley. and how does 1t affect the investigation of the Electric Boat Company as to where I got information or with whom I coun- seled?''
 Mir. olmsted: We may be investi- gating two companies before We get through; we want to get at the bottom of this matter"
 Mir. Lilley: 50 far as I am concerned I would be willing to incorporate in my resolution that you investigate two or all. If the Lake Company are pur- suing similar methods to the Electric Boat Company. I will introduce a reso- lution to have them investigated?"
 MT. Olmsted: "I think we are in en- tire harmony. MT. Lilley. No one is &C., cusinR you of anything"
 At the afternoon session Mir. Lilley said that MT. Thurston had told him that Former United States Senator Ma rion Butler had drawn the amend ment to the appropriation bill of 1907.
 Tho matter of the scope of the in- vestiga tion being brought into ques- ton, Mir Lilley said:
 The resolution reported from the Committee on Rules does not seem to bear much relationship to the resolu- tion I introduced. For instance, it says something about charges against mem bers of Congress have made no charges against members of Congress-"
 MT Lilley said he had no additional witnesses to suggest at this time. but would he very glad to give a list of names of people. who, he thought.
