Lamar's Action No
Crime, Say Attorneys

NEW YORK, July 3.-David Lamars
testimony before the lobby investigating
committee at Washington caused a
scurry among the lawyers to see
whether or not he had admitted having
done anything indictable. And when all
his testimony had been read and scan-
ned there was no surety that he could
be indicted for the things he admits
having done.
1t was learned from a lawyer that
Lamars admission that he had imper-
sonated Congressman Riordan and Pal
mer was not an admission Of crime, un-
less he had attempted to get money un-
der false pretenses. The money ele-
ment had an important bearing on any,
thing that Lamar did, according to his
own admissions, and Throughout. his tes-
timony he has not said that he had de-
manded money for the fulflment of ary
of the things he promised.
The mere fact that Lamar used the
telephone and said he was Riordan or
Palmer. and had then asked that Mr..
Lauterbach be employed as counsel In .
case. did not constitute q crime.
Nor was II a crime, II was said, for
Lamar to have called up a newspaper,
which published the Union Pacific story
which brought Judge Lovett's state
ment, and given that paper the story.
even IL II was false. unless his purpose
in having the story printed was to get

NEW EXCISE LAW IS
0BEYED BY DEALERS
Major Sylvester Says Reports
Show Disposition to Meet

Major Sylvester. Superintendent Of

him by the captains Of the various po-

the part Of saloon and restaurant

first OF the month.
The report made by the captains in

no effort is being made by the interests
to take advantage Of any technicality
the saloon and restaurant proprietors
have shown a desire to cooperate with
the police to see that the law is strict
ly observed, pending the confirmation
Of an. excise board and the rather
chaotic condition in the liquor traffic
in Washington under present conditions.

Sale To Women Is Issue.
While the law provides that liquor can
be served to women only with meals"
the act does not attempt to define q
meal" This is a question which the
Corporation Counsers office declines to
pass on. Proprietors of summer gar
dens, restaurants, and similar places
have decided that a sandwich or q crab.
or, in fact. any order Of food. consti-
tutes a meal, and women are being
served on this theory.
Along with the other perplexing prob
lens of the new law which the Excise
Board will be called upon to decide. the
question has arisen as to whether
places selling liquor have not hight

ent license, which does not expire until

that the proprietors entered into con-

HOUSE LOBBY PROBE
TO Be FAR.REACH|NG
Rules Committee to Demand
Inquiry Even Greater Than
That of Senate.
By THEODORE TILLER.

At a preliminary meeting of the mem
bers Of the House Rules Committee to-
day II developed that the lobby inves-
tigation which the committee will re-
commend will not be a bush league af-
fair.
The House lobby probe may shove the
Senate inquiry out OF first place and the
investigators Of the lower body will be
above 800 hitters.
It is practically settled that not only
will the House 60 fully into the MulhaIl
charges, but the Rules Committee will
recommend an inquiry so broad that
the investigating committee may pry
into the lobbying activities of financial
institutions, tariff associations, liquor
and anti-liquor organizations and labor
and anti-labor organizations.
There has come to members of the
House committee reports that certain
large financial institutions in New
York, including the Standard Oil
Company. and the house of Morgan,
maintain expensive press bureaus with
high-salaried press agents.
Probe of Publicity.
The Rules Committee probably will
recommend that the lobby probe at
the House end of the Capital shall
delve into what influence the art of
publicity may have exerted on public
opinion and the nationals legislators.
No formal action was taken by the
Rules Committee today, owing to the
absence Of some of the members, but
the groundwork Of a Recommendation
for a real loby probe was occom-
plished.
The committee will meet again tomor-
row and again on Friday. and today
called for files Of the papers containing
the Mulhall charges.
A member of the COMMITTEES Is au-
thority for the statement that the reso-
luton reported Saturday will not be
a milk-and-waer affair. TIL committee
will authorize the House probers to go
to the bottom of the Mulhall charges
as well as to all statements and insinua-
kinds, are or have been active about the
Capitol.
Henry for Deep Quiz.
bers mentioned in the Mulhall ''confes-
sion" that the perfected resolution re-
ported by the Rules Committee would
be satisfying document. and that no
one need doubt that thorough investi-
cation would be provided for.
Out Of the half dozen resolutions of in
Iuiry now before 1t, the committee will
outline a program which will put the
House Investigators on parity with the
Senate probe; in fact, certain House
members believe that the lower body
will so earnestly 80 about it's task that
1t will unearth facts as startling as
those now being revealed as-the Senate
side of the Capitol.
Proposed Probe.
The Rules Committee is expected to
include in its resolution for a House
lobby investigation certain provisions of
the Tavenner resolution for such
