WASHINGTON. June 26.--Coming
before the lobby investigating COM
mittee as a volunteer witness tonight
Representative. A Mitchell Palmer,
Ct Pennsylvania, one of the Demo-
cratic leaders in the house, gave SEN
sational testimony. His appearance
before the committee tended to drag
Edward Lauterbach, the New York
lawyer, and former political lieuten-
ant of e. B. Odell, deeper into the
scandal that has arisen through the
disclosures made by judge Lovett. OF
the Union Pacific railroad.
Representative Palmer charged that
man whose identity had been estab-
lished. represented himself to Lewis
c, Ledyard, the New York lawyer,
as Mr.. Palmer. himself. The imper-
sonation CT Representative Palmer
was similar to that which has taken
place in the case OF Representative
Daniel Riordan, the Tammany con-
gresham. which was disclosed by
Judge Lovett last night.
Works Over Telephone.
The in1personator did his work en-
drely over the telephone. and. as In
the case Of the man who purported to
be Representative Riordan. he said.
that matters in which Mr.. Ledyard
was interested in Washington could
be f1xed through his influence. Mr..
Ledyard through an accident discov-
cred that the man with whom he
had been talking over the telephone
on several OCCASIONS was not Repre-
sentative Palmer, and Mr. Palmer
joining with Mr.. Ledyard attempted
to run down the individual who was
using the congressman's name. Mr.
I-edyard tried to arrange an interview
with the nan on the telephone, but
he was wary. Finally the man ad-
vised Mr.. I.cdyard to have a personal
Interview with a gentleman who could
verify everything that the alleged
Palmer was saying about his own
sbiiity, and the ability OF various
ether persons to control legislative
matters. Mr.. Ledyard finally made
the appointment with this third party.

NEW YORK, June 2e.-Intense
bitterness was displayed by lawyers
and witnesses today in the second
days hearing of the charges that
Colonel Henry C. Barthman, of the
Fortyseventh regiment, declined to
let Sergeant Samuel Littman wear
the shoulder straps Of a second lieu
tenant, because Littman was Jew.
The council chamber of the City hall
resounded to the clamor Of argument
over a race question.
Maurice Simmons. of counsel for
Littman. shook his fist in the face of
Sergeant Rodgers, the principal wit
ness today for Colonel Barthman,
and shouted:
You tried to slit the throat of Ser
geant Littman, and of 100000 of us
here in this city"

The second days hearing made IL
perfectly obvious that Listman and
his friends are bent on proving to
Governor Sulzer that no Jew can
hope to win a commission in the ma
tional guard of this State. Littman's
battery OF lawyers-Edward Lauter-

because he had matters or personal
concern TO look after). Leon Sanders
and Maurice Simmons. have said in
so many words that a sort of gen.
tlemen's agreement exists among the
high officers Of the guard to block
the promotion of Jews.
Neither Littman nor Colonel Barth-
man enjoyed perceptible victory to-
day. The ex-sergeant brought for
ward half dozen enlisted men, who
had signed statement saying that
never under any circumstances would
they have voted for Littman's promo
ton to a second lieutenancy. for the
purpose of demonstrating that they
had been coerced or urged to sign.
On the other hand. Colonel Barthman
produced Sergeant Rodgers, who had
drawn up the statement. to testify
that no coercion or urging was used.
and that every man "a great major
ity OF Company By had signed after
reading the statement. and fully COM
pretending It's intent.

bill. The caucus met at 10 o'clock,
and took up the paragraph relating
to the countervailing duty recon
mended by the majority OF the a
nance committee on cereals and their
products. such rs -four, oatmeal. etc.
Before the discussion closed 1t had
taken a wide range, and Senator
Hoke Smith advocated an amend
ment giving the president authority
to proclaim countervaiiing duties
whenever he deemed II necessary to
protect American products in for
eign markets. This matter will come
up when the caucus meets tomorrow.
When the caucus adjourned at 8
o'clock tonight 1t looked as II the
countervailing duty wouldn't be ex-
ducts and potatoes.
Have Long Debate.
A long debate was had in the
morning session of the caucus over
the recommendation OF the ,Hfance
committee that the rate of duty on
butter be reduced from 8 cents to
2 Ia cents. There was a strong SEN
timent in favor Of making butter free
and several senators advocated free

senate this afternoon. As the senate
session did not end TIL nearly 6

Accuses McReynolds of Hyp-

White Slave Case
SAYS HIS EXCUSE
WORSE THAN OFFENSE.
Made for Purpose of Casting
Ignominy Upon McNab.
No Action Yet on
Kahn Resolution

WASHINGTON, June 2s.-Repre-
sentative James r. Mann, of Illinois.
Republican leader, and author of the
white slave law. today made a bitter
attack upon President Wilson and At
torney-General McReynolds, on the
floor of the house. because of the de-
velopments in the Caminetti-Diggs
case.
The Republicans intend to push
their demand for the production of
all the documents relating to it. and
possibly for congressional investiga-
ton. They intend to compare the
facts on record with the McReynolds'
statement.
Uses Violent Language.
Mr.. Mann accused the attorney
general OF Hypocrisy and attacked
the president for upholding his hands
He declared Diggs and Caminettt were
charged with the violation of the white
slave act. under circumstances and
conditions which, II true. would make
men blush.
"Caminettfs father" he continued,
had been appointed commissioner
general Of immigration. one of the
duties OF which Office is to. enforce
both the Mann and Bennett white
slave laws in reference to the depor-
tation of aliens brought here for the
to put in that position. whose prin-
cipal object is to leave his Office In
order to 60 to the side OF his twenty
seven-year-old son, under trial for a
white slave offense.
What reason was given by Mr.. Nc
Reynolds. or anyone else, for the post
ponement of the Digs case? why
should the Digs case also have been
postponed? They were two separate
cases"
Representative Mann wanted to
know what District Attorney McNab
had done that merited censure. He
had merely called the presidents at
tention TO the fact that the attorney
generals office had been imposed upon
