MIR. MARTIN IS HEARD

Washington, July 3.--Lamar, the
magnificent, as the public benefactor
who killed the snakes in the Taft rail-
road bill OF !Gii, was paraded before
the Senate Lobby Investigators to-
day
There was plethora of detail re-
lating to the activities of Wall Street
in drawing the resolution on which
the Steel Trust investigation was
made and getting the Stanley Commit
tee safely launched and a sensational
note was struck, which is to be
closely Investigated, that at least two
men who testified in recent congress
sional Investigations, one Kaufman, a
witness before the Stanley Committee,
and one Boland, who gave important
testimony at the Coal Trust hearing,
has since been financially ruined by
way of punishment for opposing the
interests.
The work Of the National Antitrust
League was also brought to the at
tention of the committee and finally
three new Hobbies were shown at
work, viz: the Pacific Railroad, the
Navy League and the Armour Plate
Hobbies.
1t is to be said, however, that Meth
err the members of the committee nor
any of the spectators were deeply i'm
pressed by the charge of Henry B. Mar
tin, secretary of the Antitrust
League of which J. P. Morgan, his
brother-inlaw, Herbert Satterlee, and
Col. Robert NJ. Foster, are active mem
bers, is mere adjunct of the Steel
Trust
After yesterdays revelations, to-
days testimony was rather mild,
though Louis c. Ledyard took the
stand and repeated his statement that
J. Pierpont Morgan had told him Ed
ward Lauderbach had been to him
with a copy of the resolutions pro-
posing the Steel Trust investigation
and it was shown by the testimony OF
Martin that the resolutions, after
having been preparde, was held for a
considerable length of time before be-
ing introduced.
David Lamar was present but silent
today. Mr.. Ledyard was on the wit

corporations and trusts interests of
the nation.
He declined to give list of the
members or to go into the financial
concerns of the organization in any
detailed way on the ground that as it
is engaged in bitter war against the
money power to make public the
names Of those concerned in the work
would be to invite disaster for them.
1t was in this connection that he
instanced the cases of Kaufman and
Boland who were ruined because of
their activity against the trust. Mr..
Martin detailed the work that the

Senator Cummins, declared that Off
Gals of the League who are at work
in Washington should be described as
