EDITOR BENNETT IS SUED
French Actress Action Is Second Brought and Is Under Re-
 gently Passed Law.

Paris, June 27.-Mlle. Juliette Schettler, daughter of a former &C., tress known on the stage as Camille Clermont, has started suit against James Gordon Bennett under law passed in November, 1912, which makes it possible for a father to be Leld responsible for his child, born out of wedlock. The complaint was laid before the civil judge of Nice and notice was served at Bennett's house at Beauleu-Sur-Mer being handed to his footman.
 This is the second suit Mile. Schet- tier has brought against Bennett. In January, 1909, she lost her suit to compel the man who she alleges is her father to pay S5,000 for her sup port. Under the new French paternity act, which was passed after a 40 years fight, it is provided that suit must be brought by the child's near est relative when the child is or 8 years old, or by the child in the year after its majority, or between 21 and p.
 Bennett has nominated a lawyer to represent him. It is understood that the lawyer may plead that Beaulieu is not Bennett's home and that the case ought to come up in Paris.

MANN ASSAILS PRESIDENT
Republican in House in Scathins Speech Terms White House Conduct of Case Pure
 Hypocrisy.

Washington, June 2S.-Attorney- General McReynolds has retained Thomas E. Hayden, former president of the San Francisco board of edu- cation, as one of the counsel for the government in the prosecution of the Cam1netti-Diggs and Western Fuel cases. The attorney-general has not definitely determined who else will be retained. However, Matthew I. Sullivan is regarded as certain to be employed. Limited funds probably will prevent the department from re- taining more-than two special prose- cutors. McReynolds has considered asking Francis J. Heney to take up the case. Sullivan prosecuted Abe Ruef in San Francisco after Heney was shot Hayden, who is in Wash ington, will go to San Francisco shortly. He has baen strongly in- dorsed for United States attorney at
 San Francisco.
 In a vigorous, sarcastic speech in the house Representative Mann of AAiAitSio, tAC ledQer, at- tackled Attorney-General McReynolds for postponing the cases in San Fran cisco, criticised Commissioner-Gen- eral Caminetti of the immirgraitn bu- reau, father of one of the defendants. and declared District Attorney Mo- Nab had made the president and at- torney-general not only beg the ques. ton but to eat their words"

ST. LOUIS AND NEW ORLEANS EXPERTS IN CONFERENCE
 AT WHITE HOUSE.
CONCESSIONS ARE GAINED
Progress Toward Eliminating Objec- tionabIe Features Reported to Easterners-Preside
 Attitude Open.

New York, June 2S.-Festus J.. Wade of St. Louis and Sol Wexler Of New Orleans, two of the bankers who conferred with President Wilson, Sec retary McAdoo, Senator Owen and Congressman Glass in Washington concerning the currency bill, returned to New York and visited the financial results with some of the New York bankers. President Wilson's other two callers, George M. Reynolds of Chicago and John Perrin of Los An geles, started for their homes from Washington.
 Wade and Wexler preserved diplo- matic silence when questioned about their visit to Washington. A cor respondent, however, says:
 From local bankers with whom they talked 1t was learned that they felt that good deal of progress had been made toward eliminating objec- tionable features of the bill. They were much less hostile than when lAcy Wcic III Atdu,iC Sity q Wech d6o' They took the view, 1t was said, that the individual banks should come un- der this kind of control or become state institutions
 "The two emissaries were con- vinced that there was no possibility of getting the bill changed at this time in respect to political control or to the issue of the new notes in the name of the governments instead of in the name of the reserve banks.
 The stumbling block on this point which proved insuperable was Will liam J. Bryan Mir Bryan. it was

Duke of Sutherland Dead.

London, June 2S.-Cromartie Suth- erland-Leveson-Gower, fourth Duke of Sutherland, is dead. The Duke of Sutherland, who was born July 20, 1851. was, with the exception. of the Emperor of Russia, the largest land owner in Europe. His Scottish es tates embraced nearly million and half acres. He owned 30,000 acres in Staffordshire and Shropshire and much property in other countries.

said, had said flatfootedly that if the bill was changed in either of the re- spects his friends in congress would vote against the entire measure. Pres ident Wilson, who showed that he was willing to make concessions in gen. eral when sufficient reason was brought forward, was too intent on having the bill passed at the extra session to invite a fight against it by his secretary of state, so no such changes were agreed on.
 Confidence in Appointments.
 Even if no change is made in the composition of the federal reserve board, they thought 1t might work out pretty satisfactorily if the first head of the administrative body should be a big and broad enough man, as he would probably recommend to con- gress such changes as experience showed to be necessary. They also expressed confidence that first-class appointments would be made by the present administration.
 u6 IeIuTllIS Dduk6TS T6pOTl6Q one important change along this line in the provision that the discount rate of reserve bank should be fixed by It's directors In the first instance, the federal reserve board having merely a veto power.
 New Currency Elastic.
 "The new currency, it was said, would be elastic enough in one sense. It would come out when there was need for 1t, but no machinery was provided for its going back. In the answers of the bankers currency commission to the questions pro- pounded by the senate subcommittee this point was covered by the sugges- tion that the notes issued by the sev- eral reserve banks be distinguished by numbers and that when one re- serve bank came into possession of the notes issued by a second reserve bank, instead of reissuing them 1t Should cancel them and charge the amount to the second bank.
 "This would create vacuum that would draw out more notes of the bank If they were needed, while the issues of the second bank would be to that extent reduced, unless the de- mand for currency kept up in it's own territory. This plan, it was said, would result in automatic increase and reduction in the volume Of cur rency in accordance with growing or diminishing business needs. This prominent than it has been whenever hearings are held by the committee of either house."

ATTEMPT TO BUNCO FINANClERS RELATED TO LOBBY COMMIT
 TEE BY PALMER.
FAIL TO TRAP IMPERSONATOR
Conference Finally Arranged With Attorney Lauterbach, Who Denies He Tried to Secure Employ
 ment With Big Interests.

Washington, June 2S.-The senate lobby Investigating committee has started on the trail of man who rep resented himself to be Congressman A. Mitchell Palmer of Pennsylvania, and opened negotiations over the tel ephone with Lewis Cass Ledyard, a New York lawyer, to represent Wall street in Washington, to prevent un- favorable congressional investiga- tions into the doings of the street, to prevent law suits the financial inter- ests of New York would not like, and to protect the interests of his clients generally in the capital.
 Mr. Palmer said he had a strong suspicion of the mans identity, but did not express it to the committee.
 MT. Palmer swore that Ledyard had told him of repeated telephone con- versations with man purporting to be Representative Palmer of Penn sylvania," who said he possessed the confidence of leading Democratic leg islators. After many telephone talks, Mir Palmer said, MT. Ledyard met Edward Lauterbach, another New York attorney, who was supposed to represent the mysterious user of the telephone. Lauterbach, he said, spoke of this persons influence with high officials in Washington.
 Speakers Name Brought In.
 Mir Palmer told the committee that the representations of influence In Washington had gone so far as to bring in the name 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.
 MT Ledyard. through the tele- phone company and, I think, through various other agencies, made a very earnest effort to locate the person who talked with him over the tele- phone" Congressman Palmer testi- fled. "The best he could do was to trace the telephone calls, and he traced them to a place which satis- fled him as to who the party was.
 If the committee wants to go into that further it seems to me MT. Led yard should be called, and will leave it for him to say what he found out as to who this party was"
 Both Lauterbach and Representa- tive Daniel J. Riordan of New York appeared before the committee to tell what they knew about the charges by Judge Lovett of the Union Pacific rail- way that an attempt had been made through the use of Riordan's name to secure the employment of Lauterbach as counsel for the railroad in the Union Pacific-Southern Pacific disso- lution suit.
 Both the congressman and the law yer denied any effort to secure such employment and acknowledged only slight acquaintance with each other
 As a result of MT. Lauterbach's tes- timony, the committee will call La mar, George F. Baker of the First Ma tional bank of New York, Paul D. Cravath, Francis Lynde Stetson and Ledyard, all New York attorneys, and Charles Steels of Morgan & Co The committee reserved the right to sum- mon Lauterbach to the stand again after they had heard from the other New Workers.
