When Lamar had finished Paul D. Ora
vath of counsel for the Union Pacific put
in prepared statement to the commit

corning the So, go OO0-which amount is
connected with the Union Pacific surplus
was part of a bear campaign to depress
Union Pacific stock. Of which the rail-
roads officials have had knowledge for
several days.
Lamar, amused, entertained and as
founded the committee as he freely tes-
tilted as to his representation of congress
men over the telephone. He did it all,
he said, to impress the financiers with the
abilities of his friend Edward Lauter-
bach. but he stoutly denied there was
ever any mention that Lauterbach
should profit by legal fees.
Join Hands After Panic.
LAS a result of the panic Of 1907" said
Lamar. Hartman. Kuhn. Loeb & Co.,
the National City Bank and Morgan &
Co. became bound together as with an
iron band"
A fight was made on Lauterbach to
compel him to give up his relations with
Lamar, the witness said.
Lamar testified that he had used other
names calling Wall street men on the

Cravath Makes Denial.

Immediately after Lamar had finished
his remarkable statement Paul d. era
vath of counsel for the Union Pacific
railroad put in this reply:
In view of the statement regarding
the account of the Union Pacific Rail-
road Company which David Lamar has
gone out of his way to make before this
committee" said Mr.. Cravath, land in
asmuch as persons not familiar with
David Lamar's character who mad read
this statement In the newspapers may
be misled thereby, i deem it my duty to
make the following statement for the
records of the committee:
For several days persons connected
with the Union Pacific Railroad Com
pany have been informed that an eff
fort was being made to circulate and
secure publication in the newspapers
of a bear attack, in the form Of pre-
pared story about an alleged fa1sifica-
ton of the account of the Union Pa
eific Company. involving S7000G.OC0 or
$50 100000 of it's surplus.
We were informed in substance that
this story was go palpably false and
scandalous and SO plainly offered for
an improper purpose that the news
papers would not publish it.

Use Of Palmer's Name.

Why did you change to Palmer's
name instead of sticking to Riordan's?'
demanded Senator Nelson
Well. Mr.. Palmer was very much in
the public eye then as one who would
have great influence at Washington
with the incoming democratic admins
iration, replied Lamar. He added that
he did not know Palmer and had no
authority TO use his name
Lamar said the late j. F. Morgan
opposition to Lauterbach caused him
to telephone Ledyard. using the name
Of Representative Palmer. to try and
ostracised Lauterbach
Il found out il was Ledyard him
self" said Lamar He added he knew
Ledyard had stenographer on the
line making record of the talk.
Il read everything into ii could" said
Lamar think offered him the en-
tire government. ] may have left the
President out"
Lamar set the committee into laughter
with his story of how ne impersonated
Palmer. lectured Ledvard because he did
not go to church and told what remark
in ton for the Morgan firm.
Il told him that the defiant attitude of
the Morgan firm toward the democratic
administration in Congress had much 10
do with the decline in the value Of Nor
gan securities. continued Lamar. Il
called attention to the money trust and
other Investigations and urged Mr. I.ed
yard to employ Lauterbach."
You were trying to convince I,edyard
that Lauterbach was a sort of .vohn the
Baptist for the Morgan firm" suggested
Senator Nelson.
THAT'S 1t exactly" returned Lamar.
Called Palmer's Office.

Claims Double Entry.

THE sum of $50. 100000 or its equiva-
lent was entered twice on the asset side.
But up to that time the transaction was
only open to the objection and criticism
that it represented a piece of clumsy
bookkeeping; for, again. on the debit side
there appeared an entry corresponding,
treating the securities owned by the
Union Pacific railroad as though they
We're still af1oat and in the hands of the
public; but the following year. 1901,
somebody erased that entry on the debit
side.
so you had the entry on the one side,
of the amount of securities issued by the
Union Pacific Railroad Company. and the
amount of debt ii had assumed, repre-
senting the payment of the purchase
price. that on the debit side; and on the
asset side there was represented a cor
responding entry, of an equal amount.
presenting the physical value of the
property. And then. again the same en-
try over again And that condition ex-
listed as result of this forgery, as a
result of this erasure.
And that $S2.UOOOo before it was
erased represented debit entry against
credit entry. that credit entry be-
ing the entry representing the securities
OF these companies which the Union Pa
cfic Company had acquired.

AS to Various Operations.

Now. here is what they did. and here
is what followed from the forgery: They
took all the securities of the Oregon
Short Line Railroad Company and the
securities of the Oregon Railway and
Navigation Company out from the treas
ury of the Union Pacific Railroad Com
pany and pledged them as securities for
an issue of bonds and got the money
for them. and they took that money and
applied it to the management and the
financing of this Northern Pacific stock
which thereafter became Northern Secu
rity stock and then again Northern Pa
cific and Great Northern Ore, and that
in the end was sold out at a most
enormous profit. and the proceeds of that
were then used to buy from Kuhn. Loeb
& Co. in one day s.09OOJ.oOD of securi-
ties, which the testimony before the in
terstate commerce commission has
strongly tended to show they bougnt
from themselves"
