LAMAR TESTIMONY
SHEDS MUCH LIGHT.
ON THE UNDERGROUND METH.
obs OF UNSCRUPLUOUS FlNAN-
CIERS-UNTERME TOO.

Washington, July Just as easy
as takiug candy from a baby" thai
is the way David Lamar described
the ease with which an outsider can
get a bill or resolution introduced
in congress and you may take il
straight that David was right. He
knew, just as hundreds of other men
over the country know, but until the
public exposure came before the lob
by committee last week, congress
thought it had the country fooled,
On the very day that the Lamar
tale was being related, there was IN
troduced in the United States senate
a resolution calling for an investiga-
tion into the affairs of a well known
south Texas railroad, not because the
senator who introduced the resolution
possessed any facts of his own to
warrant the probing but because Il
friend had asked him to have it done
and he had enough confidence in that
friend to believe it woud be harmless
and might result in some good. This
is but typical or half the business
that gets onto the house and senate
calendars. Hundreds of bills are in
troduced "by request" and scores Of
reSolutions likewise
Fond of Pretenson.
In nearly all of these cases the SEN
ators or representatives are fond of
pretending that the bill or resolution
was the creation of their brains, when,
in fact such is far from being the
case. Ard the self admitted rascal
David Lamar, has uncovered the
whole sham. 1t begins to look like a
joke on congress.
Out of all the talk that is buzzing
about since the lobby probe struck
a vein of real pay dirt, the most
satisfactory point for the country at
large that comes to light is this as
sertion that hereafter it is not going
to be quite so easy to get bills into
the congressional hopper. Repre-
sentatives and senator's have awak-
ened to the novel means for making
money that may be followed by un-
scrupulous men having a knowledge
that some congressman is ready to
embark upon some specific line CT
legislation.
Stanley is Convinced.
Representative Stanley of Ken
lucky declares he drew the resolution
upon which the congressional probe
of the steel trust was based, and
doubtless he is honestly convinced

A FRANcE.ro-ENGLAND TUNNEL
Talk Of an Underchannei Tube is Re
vived Again in London.

Vived Again in London.
A Frenchman named Matthew wrote
a newspaper article III years ago in
which he suggested that stage coacn
road might be built under the chan
mel with a drainage gallery under
meath.
No doubt people laughed at him As
they always do at any man who is
ahead Of his age, and it was not until
seyenty-four years later that the
scheme for the tunnel under the
/ straits of Dover took definite form
In 1876 a convention for carrying it
| out was concluded be'wCn the French
and British governments and channel
tunnel companies were formed o.; both
sides of the water.
The fact that fifty men c,uld hold
the tunnel entrance against 10000
was lost sight Of, an6 in July, 1882,
although the works were already in
fun swing, a committee of ten lords
and commons, presided over by Sir
a. Alison, decided by a majority of
two that the tunne! should rot he
made.
The actual cutting of the tunnel was
begun in February 1881, and head
way seven feet in diameter had al
ready been driven a distance of .
200 yards out from the bottom Of
Shakespeare's cliff, to the west of
Dover, before the parliamentary veto
stopped the work.
Then suddenly the whole of this
country fell into panic. England
would no longer he an island. We
were opening the way to invasion.
On the French side the cutting al.
ready made runs out for a distance OF
1900 yards As the entire length of
the tunnel, when completed, will be
only thirty miles, one tenth has al
ready been made.
AS a matter of fact there will not
be one tunnel but two. Two tubes,
side by side, each "tubbed''-that is
to say, lined with iron tubing. The
two tubes will be twenty feet apart
with cross galleries of communca-
tion every quarter of a mile.
When the first estimates were made
it was believed that the tunnel would
cost at least 100000 pounds. But
solid gray chalk, easy to cut, yet
firmly watertight, has been found un
der the porous white chalk. This IS
so easy to work that it is now de
clared that it will only cost 100000
pounds to finish the job.
Each tunnel will be eighteen feet
in diameter, and in no place will they
be more than $50 feet btiow the bot
tom of the sea,
On the English side, the tunnel
starts under sea from the foot of the
Shakespeare cliff, but it does not
reach the surface for quite long way
inland. The mouth is just behind |
Dover citadel On the French side |
the arrangement is quite different. |
There the mouth of the tunnel is on |
the coast near Sangster, and the line |
runs for some litlle distance above
the sea on the viaduct.
Though the great scheme is still
hung up, the preliminary borings
have been of enormous value. They
revealed the coal seams which lie un-
der the chalk and which have since
been opened up. As a great engineer
said the other day, Canterbury will in
a few years time become a second
And when leave is at last obtained
from parliament for the tunnel-as
must happen before long-Dover is
going to boom as no South Coast
town has ever yet boomed-Londoa

The average man of the people
in America is much more interested
in the affairs of the public school
than the average man in Germany
declares DR. George Kerschensteiner,
a well-known German educator, in
a Comparison of Public Education
III Germany and the United States
Just issued by the Bureau of Educa
ton. "ln the daily press, reports
and discussions on educational top
les occupy a space which to my OBJ
servation is fully ten times that which
German newspapers devote to tho
same subject"
DR.. Kerschensteiner compares point
by point the school systems in the
two countries. He shows how Ger
many secures educational efficiency
by Capitalization Of authority within
the individual states He admits that
pOoNlbly NtllNl tillLdllOl HdS SOuC tNtl
further than is desirable in Germany,
but is equally positive that there is
not enough Capitalization within the
individual states of this country AS
a result of the lack of state compul-
sion, he says, 1--WE see today in the
United States the sharpest contrasts
between school systems that incred,
IDLY poor and others of the highest
possible type, that would do credit
to the finest civilized nations of the
globe" He finds that American cit
liens of a community have more di-
rect control over their schools than
in Germany, and commends this
condition. He compares the teachers
in the two countries-their training,
their salaries, their tenure of office.
He discusses religion in the schools
of the two countries, coeducation, and
other points of similarity and differ
ence
Direct election of school board
members by the citizens, as found in
the United States, impressed DR..
Kerschensteiner very favorably. He
notes that in Germany the citizens
have little or nothing to say about |
their school system "ln Germany
the local school boards are nowhere
chosen by popular vote" he declares.
He thinks the American plan might !
be a very good thing for his own
country, particularly as a means of
arousing genuine public interest in
education.
The American high school comes in
for some interesting comment by Dr.
both complimentary
and otherwise. He praises the high
schools democratic spirit, it's aim 70
educate all the people; but he misses
the thoroughness that characterizes
the work of the German gymnasium.
In both nations the schools are now
in a period of great development, ac-
cording to the Munich educator. "The
great advantage that Germany pos
5esses," he declares, "in addition to
The relentless thoroughness " the
whole educational work, is the we'll
regulated organization of state-pro
'ided school system, which requires
in each community a school as good
as that in every other community.
But this advantage has been purchas-
ed at the expense of many qualities
'or which we must envy the Ameri-
0an schools"

that he did SO, but the country vii

Secretary Martin of the Anti-Trust
league had more knowledge of the
character of the Stanley resolution
its scope and character than they
ought TO have had and that Lamar
did utilize that knowledge in his
| Wall street Vaccinations.
1t would be exceedinly interesting
If the investigation which the house
of representatives is beginning into
the Mulhall charges against certain
re presentatives and eX-representa-
tives, would go deeply into the probe
of the money trust last summer and
into the agitation that preceded that
chase Of the money devil.
Untermeyer the Moving Force.
1t is openly talked here in Wash
.ngton that the whole thing was ma
nipulated by Samuel Untermeyer, the
Wall street lawyer, just as the steel
trust investigation is said to have
been secretly influenced by Lamar
and Martin. Gossip has it that Un
termeyer sought to avenge himself
upon certain New York bankers and
in addition was desirous of securing
for himself certain confidential infor-
nation which The comptroller of the
treasury had in his possession rela-
tive to the 1907 panic.
They say he opened lines of com
munication to certain representatives
prominent in the house who were
anxious to ride upon the very crest
of the progressive" wave and by in
sidious suggestion set them to work.
In carrying this story to a conclu-
sion, it is pointed out that one of
the biggest fights that took place in
connection with the preparations for
the investigation of the money trust,

Wanted Treasury Books.
Untermeyer was finally employed
and the first suggestion he made was
that the Investigation could not sue
ceed unless the committee or its law
yers were permitted to go through
the books of the treasury depart
ment, especially those of the comp
troller. Untermeyer emitted the loud
est wall heard outside of congress
when the senate refused to pass
what Congressman Henry now calls
his Increased visitorial powers bill.
1t is most encouraging to note that
out of all the weird tales that are
being told to lhe lobby probers, moth
ing has been developed hat in'li-
Gates a single representative or SEN
ator has sold his vote or his influ-
ence. Mulhall's statement that GER
tain representatives could be easily
