holders of 10000 shares of Southern

been acquired by the Union Pacific, -

Of this stock by one of them was repug-

Mr.. Kahn that the same points were at
issue and he agreed with me-
Judge Lovett told the committee last
night that some one calling himself
Representative Riodan of New York had
called him over the telephone to urge
the employment of Lauterpach, and had
suggested the likelihood of difficulty in
Congress which might be averted by
Lauterbach's employment. Judge Lovett
said that a similar conversation had oc-
Cured between a man representing HIM
self as Mr.. Riodan and Maxwell Evarts,
counsel for the Union Pacific.

Judge Lovett's Charge.

Judge Lovett told the committee last
night that long and determined effort
mad been made to have Mr.. Lauterbach
retained by the Union Pacific to lobby
against any trouble in Congress over the
dissolution plan, which has been ordered
by the Supreme Court and is now before
the Department of Justice
MIR. Lauterbach said today that the
only person he had spoken to with respect
to the Union Pacific was Otto H. Kahn,
OF Kuhn, Loeb Il Co., and that he had
merely remarked that the contention of
the government in it's recent suit was
the same he had maintained some years
ago in another suit against the company.
He added that Mr.. Cravath counsel for
the Union Pacific, had called him on the
telephone and told him that some one
else had called and suggested Mr. Lau-
terbach's retention in the case

Riordan in Denial.

Representative Daniel j. Riordan OF
New York today emphatically denied
that he had ever communicated by tele-
phone or in any other way with Judge
Lovett about any matter.
Judge Lovett told the committee that
he had made no effort to determine
whether 1t was actually Representative
RiOrdan who had teiephoned to him. He
had not doubted it, he said, until he
learned recently that many Wall street
financial men had been repeatedly called
up by persons who had Represented
themselves to be congressman lie added
that he now had very serious doubts
whether it was Mr.. Riordan who had
talked with him over the telephone He
yard, another New York attorney, had
been called up by man representing
himself to be a member of Congress, but
that Mr.. Ledyard has investigated and
found he was not. Mr.. Ledyard Will
probably be summoned before the com
mittee.
otto II. kann of Kuhn. Loeb & Co, a
New York banking house interested in
Union Pacific, Judge Lovett said, had
had several conversations with Mr.. Lau-
terbach personally, in which the lawyer
had referred to what might be expected
from the radical element in Congress
in relation to the dissolution plans of
the two roads.
Did he state what congressman they
were?' asked Chairman Overman.

to prevent agitation in Congress against
the dissolution plan of the Union
Pacific-Southern Pacific system, under
the decree of the Supreme Court OF the

last night before the Senate lobby in

Lovett, chairman of the board of direc-
tors of the Union Pacific.
Mr.. Lauterbach arrived here early this
morning, and Immediately called up Sem
ator Overman. chairman of the lobby
committee, and asked for an opportunity
to reply to Judge Lovett's testimony.
Senator Overman announced that Mr..
Lauterbach had telephoned him today
asking to be heard tonight, but that the
committee had decided to hear no one
until the democratic caucus has finished
its labors with the tariff bill.

One of the greatest emberrass-
ments OF the farmer is the want OF
proper education for his calling; in
other arts and professions we en-
ploy only those who are properly

reason is evident. we do not expect
Others to succeed; but why do not we
apply the same logic and practical

e.. swithin,s Day.

4This is the festival of good old. ST.
Swithin, the daddy of all the weather
sharpe, and the METEOROLOGICAL condi-
tions prevailing today will determine
the weather for forty days to come.
Rain today means that it will rain
for two score days to come, anu
vice versa.
You done believe it. oh. vefg
we'll, sceptlc. You don't have to.
Swfthin was a noble Saxon who
lived in the ninth century, during
the reign Of Ethelwolf, papa of Al
fred the Great. He was a great and
learned bishop, but made no claims
to being ~versed in weather lore. He
gained that reputation only after
being dead. 1t was like this:
Swithfn asked to be buried in the
common church yard. The monks
respected his wish, but, after Swith-
in was ,canonized, they considered II
disgrace that saint should rest In
public cemetery, and decided to
remove the remains to the choir OF
the church. They set July II
flor the cermony, but it rained so VI
olently on that date, and for forty
days thereafter, that they abandoned
their design. Thus, began the ira
dition that continues to have be
levers even to this day.
OF course, the meteorological rec
ords do not bear out the superstition
although ii is a fact that whenever
wet season sets in about the mid
die of July it usually continues to
the end of the summer.
An examination OF the weather
data for ST. swithin's Day shows
that this date in 1881 was one OF
1.-THE hottest ever experienced in botn
Europe and America. In London the
thermometer reached ninety-eight
in the shade, and in Paris it was
only one degree less. Most OF
North America was converted into a
good imitation of raging furnace by
IOld Sol. In Cincinnati alone tn
heat wave, which continued a week
caused the death of 1858 people by
Isunstroke. The highest temperature
ever recorded by an official weather
bureau was registered in Algeria on
this date in 1879, when the Their
mometer reached 127 degrees.

and on motion of MT. Smith it was de-
cided that the managers of all teams
should be required to hand in a>Gor-

team should play man who was
not listed. This rule, if lived up to
will strengthen the league materially
and will stop lot of knocking.
The All Star team was the next
question discussed and it was decid-
ed that the members of the different
teams who were SO fortunate as to be
picked to play on this team must be
out to practice with the team at every

In case of Captain Smith being abb

Japan Displays Naval Strength

oll lIc IditlllOIc ouH
Japans naval strength was paraded
in the review held off Yokohama. the
first spectacular event In the reign of
the new Emperor. Yoshihito reviewed
45 battleships and cruisers. destroyers,
submarines and torpedo boats-113 In
line. 1t was much like Colonel Roose-
velt's review of the fleet off Oyster
Bay when he was President; but dis
tinctly modern note was added by the
Japanese in the two hydro -aeroplanes
flying over the warships, as well as
the big German diriglibles that float
ed high in the air.
Among the vessels in line were three
battleships and three cruisers captured
from the Russians. According to the
American schedule. these would have
been marked obsolete" long ago. The
prime battleships of 10 years are ranked
no higher than cruisers now and only
dreadnoughts are counted as batt1e-
ships of the line. Deterioration Is the
weakness of the Japanese navy. But
new battleships cost s1O,0O0,0o0 apiece,
the Japanese are groaning under heavy
taxes and it will probably take all the
influence of the Mikado, as well as
war scare or so. to induce the diet to
appropriate the immense sums required
to carry out Admiral Saito's programme
of naval expansion.
