tion &c the Intruder Does
Not Help Police.

trance to the house through a window.
He was seen by "A woman servant, but
her description is incomplete.
The jewels were taken from the bed
rooms Of Mrs Haas and Mrs. Lo
Haas, where they were locked in b.
reau drawers The fact that nothing
else was disturbed led Captain Wall
ing. of the Long Branch police, last
night, TO assert bis belief that the
thief was some person familiar With
the arrangement of the Haas home.
The Jewels included two pearl neck
laces. one Of siXty-one pearls, worth
$4,000. belonging TO Mrs. Louis
Haas. and the other OF seventy -four

10 SO upstairs and as she did so she
met man leaving the room of Mrs.
Louis Haas. She screamed and ran,
calling to the other servants. John
Teak, the butler. responded, but the
man escaped during the excitement.
Beyond the fact that he was tall and
wore a gayly colored cap his identi-
fcation is lacking.
A screen covering one OF the win
dows on the second floor OF the house
was found torn away. but no foot
prints were visible in the soft earth
beneath the window. A purse contain
ing part of the money which was taken
was found on the back porch Of the
house. where II is supposed the man
threw IT in making his escape.

Inquiry Was Ridiculously
Small, Banker Admits
in an Interview.

J. p. Morgan. who succeeded his
father as head OF the banking firm OF

yesterday said there was no truth in
the testimony OF David Lamar before
the Senate lobby" investigating COM
mittee at Washington in regard to his
Gamar's) relations with J. Pierpont
Morgan and the Morgan firm.
Mr.. Morgan did not mince words IN
speaking of Lamar and Edward
Lauterbach. who also testified before
the committee. He denied that either
Of the men ever had been "close" to his
father, and classed them with "other
vermin" whom the elder Morgan had
seen and talked TO in former years.
Mr. Morgan said:
you may quote me as saying that
neither Mr. Lamar nor Mr.. Lauter-
bach ever was close or dear friend
of Mr.. Morgan He saw them, yes, AZ
he saw lots OF other vermin. Lamar
saw Mr.. Morgan always at Lamars
solicitation. / have lot OF Mr.. La
mars letters begging for interviews
with my father, but Mr.. Morgan never
answered them"

Calls Library Story False.

MIR. Morgan was asked about La.
mars estimony that he Lamar had
been accustomed to see the banker In
the library of his Madsol avenue
home in late years, because Mr.. Nor
gan's partners objected to Lamar's
presence in tho Office Of the Morgan
firm.
Mr. Morgan never saw NJ Lamar
al his library, or anywhere else. during
the last few years o, his life" said
Mr.. Morgan.
Referring TO Lamars testimony that
he drew the orif al resolution for the
Stanley committee investigation OF the
United States Steel Corporation, Mr..
Morgan said Judge. Gary. il he were
here could tell more about that.
Judge Gary sailed on board the Mau-
retania wednesday for a vacation in
Europe.
Did Lamar ever offer his services
to call off the Steel investigation for a
price," Mr.. Morg. was ask,d
Yes. and the price was so ridiculous
IL small that ] won't mention it, said
Mr.. Morgan.
Mr.. Morgan clearly was angry over
Lamar's reference TO his former rela-
tions with the elder Morgan and the
Morgan firm. declined 10 discuss

SMITH AND BELL
IN CLASH OVER
PATRONAGE
Representative Scores Senator
for "Interference", in Gaines
Vile Postoffice Row.

WASHINGTON, July 11.-Follow-
ing the confirmation of Mrs H. W. J.
Hams appointment as postmaster
at Gainesville, Thomas NJ Bell Rep
resentative from the Ninth District,
has made a statement bitterly criti-
Cising Senator Hoke Smith for the
defeat of A. 5. Hardy. He openly
charges that the defeat of the man
he recommended for the place is di-
rectly the result of intense feeling
against anti Smith men.
Mrs. Ham succeeds Mrs. Helen D.
Longstreet, who lost her position, II
is said, through her activities for
Roosevelt in the last presidential
campaign.
There seems to be an invisible. Sc
cret influence operating in Washing
ton to the exclusion of anti-Smith-
Wilson people" reads the statement.
IF loyal Democrats are to be dis
qualified because of their pre- conven-
ton view, 1t is high time the people
should know the facts and be given
an opportunity at the polls to prevent
the wrecking of the Democratic par
ty, which for so many years has held
the South together"
Congressman Bell charges that Sen
