PubIie-SquabbIe Result

Washington, Feb. 9.-The Senator
Lorimer committee today in executive
session put James E. Sheridan. the
detective stenographer, who has figured
in the charge of alleged perjury Of
Charles MCGOWAN. Hines-Lorimer
witness, to test of his ability to re-
cord conversations over an electrical
apparatus while concealed from the
speakers. The test was along one. The
result may be announced later.
A little table with an open note book
and bible upon it was ready today
when the Lorimer investigation was
resumed for J. e. Sheridan. the detec-
tive stenographer. to demonstrate his
abilities in taking far away conversa~
tions In shorthand.
Sheridan recently swore before the
senate Lorimer committee that he had
made a shorthand report of a conver-
sation in Toronto on Jan. 6, when
Charles MCGOWAN was alleged to have
admitted receiving money from c. F.
Wiehe for "perjuring himself" in Civ
ing testimony for Senator Lorimer be-
fore the committee. The claim was
made that Sheridan's notes were
faxed" and that he could not make
such short hand report as he claimed
he had made at Toronto.
Conditions in the hotel rooms at To-
ronto in which MCGOWAN met the de-
tective were reproduced as nearly as
possible in Senator Dillingham's Of
flee.
In one room, where three persons
were to hold a conversation. was hung
A delicate telephone apparatus. Wires
led to the table in the next room. The
bible was to permit Sheridan to have a
weight for one corner Of his note book
while he used his left hand to hold the
apparatus to the ear.
[sTEss> ~ rAat Ends ii Wranslss
Immediately after the test Sheridan
was put in the witness chair and
seemed to have no Difficulty in reading
his notes. There were frequent breaks.
but It was said they represented. parts
Of sentences which he did not record
because he had been instructed to take
only conversation relating to the Lori
mer case.
Two committee stenographers took
notes with Sheridan and the test ended
in a wrangle. the Lortmer lawyers
maintaining that Sheridan had mot
made good" Representatives Of the
other side declared he had done as we'll

Lewis Fraud Order issuance.
Washington, Feb. 9.-George B. Cor
telyou told the house committee on ex-
penditures in the postoffice department
today Of his action in issuing fraud or
ders against E. G. Lewis, Of st. Louis
in 1905 and 1907, while he was post
master general. A publishing company
owned by Lewis and also the United
States Bank of st. Louis were affected
by the orders. Frank Madden, who
was third assistant postmaster general
under Mr.. Cortelyou. is now counsel
for Lewis. aNN
Mr.. Cortelyou said Madden had ee-
fused to issue fraud orders against
Lewis and that he had issued them per-
sonally.
Mr.. .Cortelyou denied that any Eek
traneous'' influences had anything to
do with his action in the Lewis case.
Reading from the record Third AS
sistant Postmaster General Britt re-
viewed testimony of Madden in which
inferences were made that the express
companies had sought to break up the
Lewis bank because It did a mail bank
ing business which interfered with the
money order business. and that Sena-
tor Platt had Mr.. Cortelyou appointed
to attack the bank and destroy 1t. All
such inferences Mr.. Cortelyou emphafi-
cally denied. ~ e
There never was anything before
me or in my mind to cause me to issue
an order prejudicial to the Lewis Com
pany," said Mr.. Cortelyou.
