STONE HEARS
LAUTERBACH
TELL STORY
SCOWiS at New York Attorney
as lie Hears Ledyard
Testimony Read
WILL TESTIFY THAT
STATEMENT is LIE
By The United Press

DS Inc OAALtu iitrH
WASHINGTON, d. C., July Ed
ward Lauterbach the New York at
torney involved by David Lamar in
his remarkable story OF impersona-
tions Of public men, was recalled as
the first witness by the Senate lobby
investigating committee today. Chair
man overman read to Lauterbach the
testimony OF L. c. Ledyard, telling
of the conference he had with Laut-
erbach at his home lastr February.
Lauterbach said such a conference
had been held.
Senator Overman read in great de-
tail the entire testimony Of Ledyard
in which he told Of Lauterbach claim
ing to represent Speaker Clark, Sem
ator Stone and other Democratic lead
ers and presenting to him, Uedyard),
as the representative Of the Morgan
interests a comprehensive plan Of
what Wall Street could expect at the
hands of the Democrats.
Lauterbach was apparently very
nervous as the reading went on. He
sat far back in the witness chair,
clutching a copy of the printed testi-
lmony in his hands, which trembled.
His face was deeply flushed and he
twas not garbed in his usual care
full manner. He is an understood
individual with blackish gray hair and
almost white chin whiskers.
/ Senator Reed, colleague of Senator
Stone, of Missouri was plainly per-
turbed over the suggestion that had
been made that should Lauterbach be
permitted TO testify regarding the
claims he was alleged to have made
TO Ledyard, it would be impossible
for the New York Bar Association to
take the matter up.
AS soon as Senator Overman con
/ cluded reading the story of how
Lauterbauch had claimed personally
to represent Senator Stone, who in
turn represented Speaker Clark, Reed
| demanded an executive session of the
committee and the members retired
! to consult
/ As the committee retired, Senator
Stone came in and took a seat at the
u front OF the room where he scowled a
the witness. He was prepared to test
tify in support Of his assertion thai
Lauterbaoh's story as told by Ledyarc
as "an utterly absolute lie without the
i slightest resemblance of foundation.
"On February 9Th" said Lauterbach
III met Mr.. Ledyard and his story of
that meeting is substantially correct
This meeting was in his office"
Lauterbach denied, however, that he
lhad admitted to Ledyard that David
Lamar was a "blackmailer" While
he was reading, Lamar took seat at
the left of the witness and followed
closely his friends story He had
lost his care-free, joking air and was
leyidently trifie worried.
II left Ledyard on February 9Th
with an absolute disclaimer that |
represented Senator Stone, Speaker
lClark or anyone else in authority.

CITY
FAIRGROUNDS
ON FIRST DAY
Children Rush PeIl Nell to
Breathing Spots for Real
Outdoor Fun
LACK OF EQUIPMENT
DELAYS SOME SPORT

To the delight of hundreds of chill
dren, who had been anticipating the
event for weeks past. the various
Fairgrounds OF the city opened at 8
O'Clock this morning.
Although in a number of the play
grounds the principals and assistants
were handicapped because of lack Of
sufficient equipment and incompletion
of work on the grounds, il did not de-
ter the children from making the best
of what they had, and when the gates
of the different Fairgrounds were
opened, in they rushed pell NELL and
we're soon playing happily.
At the West End Playground. the
exercises opened with free play on the
different amusements, which last for
a half hour.
From $50 TO 10 O'Clock there we're
songs, nature talks and stories March
ing, games and written work were en-
joyed from 10 to 1890 o'clock. From
1890 to II O'Clock there was more free
play, with occupation work from IL to
IL .45 o'clock The last fifteen minutes
before noon were occupied in putting
away the materials used.
Free play opened work again this af
ternoon, followed by a ball game at $50
o'clock The remainder of the afternoon
was spent in occupation work, folk dane
ing, contested games and quiet games, at
intervals Of a half hour each until $50
o'clock, when the grounds closed for the
day.
The Mundy playground, on French
street between Second and Third streets,
will not open until Wednesday, Miss
Talley. the principal, who returned from
an Atlantic City trip early last week,
had intended. with her assistant, Miss
Connolly to open the grounds this morn
ing. but because of lack Of equipment
was compelled to deny the children until
Wednesda..
Work at the Pine street playground
was also incomplete because there were
not enough amusements to ego around
and Mr.. Townsend the principal, with
his assistant. Miss Lyman, were kept
busy seeing that the little ones each had
turn on the tobaggan slide and swings
which were in great demand.
At Kirlwood Park playground, which
with its attractive setting Of big shade
trees. and Just lots of green grass. is con
sidered one OF the prettiest in the city
there was very large attendance o.
happy children. A big sand pile had il:
quota Of busy children, as did the see
saw. swings. May poles and Other
amusements. Most of the equipment haC
lust arrived and was being put intC
shape. and more will follow soon.
The twelve year old boys straight
way organized a base ball team, to
/ be known as the Busy Bee.
In the other Fairgrounds the work
was much the same, principally that
of organization with lots of fun;
and in a few days the work Will, to
| Judge from present activities, soon
be in fine running order for the sum-
mer season.

OVER OFFICES
NOT LIKELY
president White Believes New
Council VIII Fill Places
Without Difficulty
PLUMS WILL FALL
AT JULY II MEETING

Having elected a building inspector and
milk inspector by the election of William
i. johnson to the former Office and
Charles II. Grantland to the position OF
milk inspector, the Republican members
of City Council are now looking forward
to the next caucus, when men will be Sc
lected for the positions OF clerk of Coun-
ell, bailiif OF Council, coal oil inspector,
clerk of the market and special officer at
Eighth street park When this caucus
will be held has not yet been definitely
,tixed, but it is expected to be held shortly
,as Council must fill the offices on the
third regular meeting in the month
which will be July II.
The ease with which the present Coun-
Gil disposed OF the long deadlock for the
milk and building inspectorshops is evil
dence that no difficulties will be encoun-
tered in deciding on the men for the re-
lmaining offices Council will fill at this
time.
Much interest in centered in the CON
test for clerk OF Council. Former City
Treasurer Charles s. Lednum and Clar-
ence NJ Dillon, a captain of the Organ
izel Militia Of Delaware, have been most
lpuitlN mentioned for this place
and now third name is mentioned. He
is Elmer H. Klund. of No. 72S West
Ninth street. a salesman. and formerly
clerk for one of the big industries in
The city.
John B. Connell a tobacconist at Della
ware avenue and dupont street is said
to be the favorite candidate for the office
ot coal oil inspector, though he is being
given a hard run for the place by Ed
ward d. Gray, also resident of the Sew
enth ward living at No. l07 West
Twelfth street
Edgar Sterling, colored, is promi-
nently mentioned for bailiff OF Coun-
Gil, but the councilman from that
ward, John o. Hopkins, a colored
druggist, has not yet mentioned the
man of the ward he intends to sup
port 1t is said there is another
colored man in the same ward after
the Office
The clerk of the market will pro-
ably came from the Ninth ward and
u is said there are q half dozen
or more candidates aspiring TO the
Office
While predictions are being made
on the selection of this or that man
for the different Offices it is not vel
definitely known who will actually
get them. A slate so far as the wards
receiving certain offices is concerned
was made up before, the election Of
the building inspector and milk in.
spector. but nothing definite was
done relative to those who would be
elected to the different jobs.
That no trouble in selecting the
men is anticipated is the belief OF
president Of Council William P
White. He said today:
This Council starts off with a
Spirit of harmony prevailing among
Fhe Republican members, as was
evidenced by the caucus held last
week when the members got together
SO quickly after the long deadlock in
the past Council This argues for
good during the ensuing term.

Gus and expect it to be entirely har.

IN reaching conclusion as TO who
will get the Office"
