could be prevented from bringing
9uits against Hartman railroads.
Mr.. Hartman declined to have any
thing to do with the schemers,
At the same time as Mr.. Hartman
exposed the methods OF the LAuter-
bach-IAmar combination. Mr.. Kuhn
made an affidavit, in which he told
how ne had been informed that Lau-

Witness---Describes Lamar
Method of lmpersonating
Congressman

NEW YORK, July 10.--The gov
eminent took the first steps today in
the prosecution OF David Lamar, the
self-confessed associate of Edward
I1Auterbach. in campaigns of decep-
ton and trickery. The federal grand
jury began the inquiry, which United
States District Attorney Marshall pur-
poses to use as the groundwork for
q criminal indictment against Lamar.
The only witness before the grand
jury at It's first session devoted to
the criminal prosecution of Lamar
was Lewis Cass Ledyard, the lawyer,
and longtime friend and adviser Of
the house of Morgan. He appeared
voluntarily before the grand jury to-
day and occupied three hours in de-
acribing how Lamar had personated
Representative A.. Mitchell Palmer. of
Pennsylvania. and Representative
Daniel j. Riordan, OF this city. and
In telling what part Lauterbach HAD
played in the intrigue.
Notes of Conversations.
He produced notes of various con-
versations over the phone with the
person who represented himself to
be Mr.. Palmer. or Mr.. Riordan.
particularly interesting part OF
Mr.. Ledyard's testimony was his de-
scription of how he trapped Lamar
and satisfied himself of the identity
OF the man who was pretending to he
this or that lawmaker. and always
recommending Iauterhach as a fixer.
Mr.. Lauterbach has two telephones in
his home. On the night OF February
Sth. while Mr. r." fLamar in the
guise OF Representative palmer) was
calling on the listed phone, Mr.. Led
yard asked the Lenox exchange over
his private phone to trace the source
Of the call over the listed phone. The
report came hack quickly that the
call came from 53a7 Riverside. a
phone In the name Of Marie Lamar"
At the close Of the testimony by
Mr.. Ledyard. the grand jurors thank
ed him cordially for appearing.
Tomorrow the witnesses will be

SIDES.

A subcommittee OF the council COM

placed in the position of practically
being arbiters in q question of higher,
or lower. or present wages for a rep
resentative organization OF union men.
The granite cutters in Richmond
have been on strike for some time
because the local granite quarrymen
have not acceded TO their requests.
Up to short while ago the granite
men received $3.50 a day. Owing to
the fact that North Carolina quarry
men got much of the contract work
in Richmond not only in private prop
ositions, but in municipal transactions,
by which the local quarrymen were
forced to cut forces the cutters struck
for higher wages They wanted 81
day. They showed that they could
go to North Carolina and other places
and get work for $3.50 a day. with
much less living expense. Many of
them went to North Carolina, and
many of them are now working for
the big Quarrymen in that State. The
Wise Granite company employs many
Richmond men. not only in North
Carolina. but in Richmond.
Chairman vondelehr called the
meeting last night for the purpose
of hearing from workmen and en-

Bond Issue

Road Now Wants to
Increase Rates

WASHINGTON, July 10.-The sem
ate today passed a resolution by sena-
tor Norris, OF Nebraska. instructing
the interstate commerce commission
to investigate and report the pro-
posed new bond issue OF $167.1o2,40
by the New York Central and Hudson
River railroad. These new per cent
bonds are to be used In taking up
existing 8 liz per cent. and the Ne
braska senator's suspicious have been
aroused by the fact that the railroad
apparently Is willing to pay this In
creased interest charge.
Senator Norris was moved to intro
duce the resolution by information
that the New York Central had made
applications to the public utilities COM
mission of the State OF New York,
for authority to make the issue.
Suspect Consolidation.
The proposal by the New York Cen
trail of the new bond issue has been
a subject of discussion in financial cir
cleS for several months. Senator Nor
ris is in possession of information
which leads him to believe that about
year and a half ago the New York
Central board of control, took the pre-
liminary steps to reorganize the fiscal
affairs of the company, and bring
about a consolidation with that rail-
road of the Lake Shore and the Michi-
gan Central.
Senator Norris thinks II Is little
short OF remarkable that the New
York Central should be willing to
issue four per cent bonds in order to
call in the ia per cent issued in 1898
for a term Of one hundred years. His
information is that for every $500 of
Lake Shore stock deposited $1,000 of
