C0RTElY0U'S EXPLANATION
Not Influenced in Lewis Fraud
Order Case.

Washington, Feb. 9.-George b. Cortelyou
told the House Committee on Expenditures
In the Postofflce Department to-day Of his
action In Issuing fraud orders against T.. G.
Lewis, OF st. Louis in 1905 and 1907, while
he was Postmaster General.
publishing company owned by Lewis
and the United States Bank OF st. Louis
were affected by the orders. Mr. Madden.
who was Third Assistant Postmaster GEN
eral under Mr.. Cortelyou. is now counsel
for Lewis. Mr. Cortelyou said Madden had
refused to Issue fraud orders against Lewis
and that he had issued them personally.
Mr.. Cortelyou denied that any "extrane-
Gus influences had anything to do with his
action in the Lewis case. His attention
was called by Third Assistant Postmaster
General Britt to testimony taken I'm the in
vcstgation of the case, suggesting that
former Senator Plat and the express COM
pany interests had sought the destruction
Of the Lewis cOmpany's bank and that Il
was through Platt's influence that Mr.. Cor
tclyou had been made Postmaster General.
Did former Senator Platt or any express
company or express trust" asked Mr.. Britt.
"either influence you or attempt to infu-
ence you in your action I'm this casc?"
Not in any way whatever" Mr.. Cor
telyou replied. Mr.. Platt never appeared
in the case at any time. to my knowledge.
There was no such influence introduced
that ever heard Of"
Reading from the record. Mr.. Britt re-
viewed testimony OF Madden In which IN
ferences were made that the express COM
panlcs had sought to break up the Lewis
bank because II did mail banking busl-
ness. which interfered with the money order
business, and that Senator Platt had Mr..
Cortelyou appointed TO attack the bank
and destroy II.
All such infercnces Mr.. Cortelyou en-.
phatically denied That anything entered
the case except the evidence before him
through regular channels he also denied.
There never was anything before me or
in my mind TO cause me to issue an order
prejudicial 10 the Lewis company" said
Mr. Corteyou IL acted i'm this case be-
cause II was the duty before me-"
Mr. Corteiyou probably will he before the
committee several days. Members wish to
cross-examinc him and seek his advice on
postoffice legislation.
IT was alleged that Mr.. Cortelyou was be-
made by Allen ID. Albert. Mr.. Cortelyou
replied that Albert had declared he was
about to institute such an investigation.
but that hn merely replied he hoped, Mr..
Albert would keep him advised Of tho re-
suits Of the inquiry. The former Post
master General added that he did not
know Lewis personally. and that certainly
he had no personal animus against him.

L0RIMER HEARINGS END
Hines Denies Attempt to Bribe-
Stenographers' Notes Tested.

Washington. Feb. Pubic hearings IN
the second investigation into the election
of Senator Lorimer were declared closed
to-day by Chairman Dillingham;. Judge
Hanecy, representing Senator Lorimer, on
tained permission to file a brief 10 the
effect that the Senator's election had been
adjudicated before the present inyestga-
ton began, and therefore could not be the
subject OF a second investigation
The inquiry has proved to be one OF the
most exhaustive ever made by Congress
committee. In the eight months hearings
about ten thousand pages OF printed tcsti-
mony were taken, constituting about five
million words. IT is estimated that the
stenographcrs' fees alone were $1,000
The closing hour OF tho hearing was a
love feast The attorneys explained that
they had never intended really TO display
temper, and the committee added that IL
had not entertained like intentions. NJ W.
Blumenberg, the stenographer, who was
discharged for his conduct on Saturday
night, wrote letter OF profuse apology,
which was put into the record.
Edward Hines was the last witness
called. He denied that he had attempted
to bribe Miss Helen Scavcrs, a telegraph
operator to see message a private de-
tective In the case had just sent The COM
mittee decided at an executive session not
to inquire further into an alleged com.
bination against Senator Lormer as re-
suit Of the Chicago River improvement, or
other matters which the committee deemed
did not bear on the issue
The early hours OF to-day's session were
marked by tests of the ability OF ]. T..
Sheridan, of detective agency. to make
shorthand report Of a conversation such
as he swore he made when Charles Nc
Gowan was alleged to have admitted re-
ceiving money for "perjuring" himself be-
fore the committee
Two committee stenographers took notes
with Sheridan, and the test ended in =
wrangle. The Lorimer lawyers maintained
that Sheridan had not made good" Rep.
resentati7es of the other side said he had
done as well as could be expected"

MARVELS ARE BEING
WROUGHT BY CHEMISTRY

Some of the directions in which the
conclusions of chemical science may
be made Immediately applicable to In
tions read before the Eighth Interna-
tional Congress of Applied Chemistry,
which closed its sessions in New
York recently. One of these papers,
by DR.. Eyde, of Christiana, Norway,
described the oxidation of atmospher-
ic nitrogen by which nitrates are OBJ
tanned in commercial quantities. IL
appears that in Norway the extraction
of nitrates from the air has been de-
veloped until it has reached point at
which such nitrates are exported.
The production of artificial rubber,
about which, it is true, there has
been some controversy, was the sub
ject of a paper by DR.. Dusiberg. of Ell
berfeld, Germany, who prophesied
that before long the artificial product
will play as important part in the
markets of the world as natural rub
Der does today. In connection with
this may be mentioned the discovery
by an English chemist, Mr.. Perkins, of
udnCHCoIOlB III q hCIhOu VI nuhlh6
clothing and draperies fireproof-an
invention that promises distinct ad-
vance in the diminution of fire loss in
many directions. An Italian chemist,
Cinmician, of Bologna, discussed
with seeming conviction the POSSIBLE
ity of utilizing solar energy as a sub
stitute for failing coal supply. An
other scientist, DR.. Bergius, described
experiments he had been making in
the endeavor to produce artificial coal
and the production of synthetic am
monia was discussed by others. Be-
fore adjourning, the congress adopt
ed, among others, resolutions sug-
costing that the disinfectants used in
different countries SHOULD be contEoll-
ed by simple bacterial test capable
of being easily effected; that the regu-
lations proposed by the committee on
tests of the stability of explosives be
brought to the attention of the vari-
Gus governments, and that the work of
the International committee on the
of analytical methods to
food products be continued. No doubt
a fruitful record of labOrs will be
presented to the next congress when
it meets in st. Petersburg in 1915.
