Ing at Washington, for here hangs the
biggest official flag that was eves,
made, although there are larger unof-

building which houses the headuuar-

its finger on the pulse of all Uncle

flag.
The great building Is constructed
about hollow square at the bottom of
which is the glass-roofed floor space
where the local mail is handled. Above
this rise eight or nine stories of ma

Of New York, gave the committee
some light on its details.
According to Mr. Palmer, Lewis
Cass Ledyard, another New York law
yer, was the man who was largely
instrumental in foiling inc plot. The
name of the man who proposed to do
all these things in Washington was
not given to the committee, although
Mr.. Palmer acknowledged that he had
strong suspicious Of his identity.
Mr.. Palmer told the committee that
the representations of influence in
Washington had gone so far as to
bring in the names of the speaker, OF
the majority leader in the House and
of at least two other prominent mem
bers whose names he did not give. He
said that after Mr.. Ledyard had en-
gagged in many telephone converse
lions with the man who had all these
goods for sale in Washington he had
met afterward Edward Lauterbach, a
New York attorney, under the suppose
ton that Lauterbach was representing
the user OF. the telephone.
Lauterbach was in the committee
room and listened to all the testimony
Of Mr.. Palmer, who spent nearly two
hours on the stand. Later he denied
that he had tried to secure employ
ment with big interests in New York
on the strength of supposed power in
the capital He swore that his only
effort was to "restore the entente cor
dale" he had previously enjoyed with
Morgan & Co., and which he thought
had been broken because of his friend
ly relations with David Lamar, whom
he described as Wall Street opera
tor" who usually operated on the bear
side of the street"
The committee adjourned subject to

the right to summon Lauterbach to

received note to draw $4,000 from
the bank and take it to him where
he was about to close a big deal.
She complied. It was necessary to
travel by automobile stage for
part of the journey. The machine
broke down and the travellers spent
q night in a country hotel. Occu-
plying the room next to Mrs. Beck
was George Lambert. a bank clerk
carrying $4,000 In bills. The next
morning Lambert was found MUIR

Beck had left during the night.

Identical with the numbers the

the problem Beck faced but he

his wife from the gallows or the

that an old mind does not receive

III exploded that notion. An
old mind has learned to reason

as agile as it once was, I held my
own by application and common
sense.
Il see nothing ridiculous In the
idea Of an old man going to

least know what 1t Is we want to
learn, and do not fill our minds
with a mass of academic trash
that cannot help us in our after
years.

man. He had had years of prac-

sub-base was better than curved
one. He had never heard of such
a thing as flat base.
"But when he got back from

Viewing the question broadly,
why shouldn't we all go to
school to take special courses in
the kinds of work we are engaged
in? Farmers these days are not
ashamed to go to agricultural
schools. Even the graybeards are
beginning to realize that an agri-
cultural college can teach them
