set to mark the semi-centennial of
Gettysburg.
Veterans to the number of $4,000,
the army officers estimated, filed into
the big tent set apart for the exer-
cises, sat in the haze of heat for two
hours and shook the camp with their
cheers when the speakers made ref

under the canvas was taken long be-
fore Secretary of War Garrison and
Governor Tener, the orators of the
day, came chugging up in their au-
tomobiles.
Although the men in gray were far
outnumbered by those in blue, there
we're possibly a thousand Southern

lacked in numbers they made up in

receipts over expenditures, exclusive
of Panama canal and public debt
transactions. This exceeds last years
surplus by $3,75O,0O0. The Panama
canal expenditures and public debt
transactions, however, wiped out the
surplus of ordinary receipts over or
binary expenditures and created a de-
felt for the year Of $2,149,OOO.
Total receipts for the fiscal year
amounted to $725,7S2,921, while the
ordinary disbursements were $683699,,
692.

eminent S34,948,870, or $5,365,766
more than during the fiscal year 1872.
Custom receipts for the fiscal year
reached 1918, $4,000, an increase of
nearly $7,OOO,OOO over the previous
year.
The record drinking and smoking
of the American people in the past
twelve months brought the federal
government the enormous total OF
S3O9, Ats, 900 in internal revenue re-
ceipts, which was $16,500,000 greater
than in 1912. -
Under the first years operation OF
the new pension law the government
paid veterans and widows SIZE, 134,-
900, an increase of $21, 537, 900.
The fiscal year closed with 1884,

TARIFF TO TAKE
EFFECT At ONCE
EXCEPTIONS, HOWEVER, MADE IN
WOOL AND SUGAR scHEp-
ULEs BY COMMITTEE.
MORE REVENUE PROVIDED
Tax on Spurious Wines Was Provided
for by Levyins IS Per Cent. Ad
Valorem Tax.

Notwithstanding members of
the senate finance committee decided
that all schedules of the. new tariff bill
except sugar and wool should become
effective Immediately after the enact
ment of the measure into law.
Sugar, with the approval Of the Dem
Ocratic caucus, will be subject to the
Payne-Aldrich rates until March 1,
1914. The committee tentatively
agreed upon date for the wool sched-
ule, but did not announce it, because
of a promise to confer with Senators
Walsh and Thomas. who could not be
reached. The committee will confer
with them before the final session of
the caucus.
Additional revenue was provided for
by the committee when it decided, in
view of the revenue tax on brandies
used in fortifying sweet wines, to
levy a revenue tax of rs per cent ad
Valorem on what are known as "spu-
rfous wines" wines made from pun
mis- and fortified with chemicals.
Containers of such wines must bear
a label, showing what materials enter
into the product Just how much reve-
nue. will be derived from this the COM
mittee could not estimate, because the
tax probably will curtail the present
output considerably.
Another change proposed relates to
the clause prohibiting importation OF
convict goods. 1t was amended so
as to read that such goods be eXclud-
ed from countries which do not pro
hibit" convict labor. Originally the
clause read from countries which did
restrict convict labor.
Chairman Simmons said thaE he ex-
pected general debate on the bill to
begin soon. He will report the meas
ure soon, and it is his opinion that
the debate will be limited to five
weeks.

CONFESSES LIES I
ON CONGRESSMAN
DAVID LAMAR ADMITS USING
NAMES OF LEGISLATORS TO
WALL STREET PEOPLE.
TELLS REMARKABLE STORY
Organized Effort to Influence Wall
Street Finaneiers Is Admitted
on Stand.

Washington.-A story Of misrepre-
sentation, impersonation of public
men and organized effort to influence
Wall street financiers probably with
out parallel in the history Of con-
gressional investigation was unfolded
before the senate lobby committee.
A prosperous-looking, self-possessed
individual, calling himself David La
mar of New York, self-described as an
operator in stocks" and admittedly
the bearer of several assumed names,
was the principal in the remarkable
session.
With entire abandon, arousing the
committee to laughter at times by his
naive admissions, he told of his imper-
sonations, his participation in attempts
to influence Wall street operations, and
his association with Edward Lauter-
bach, New York lawyer, in efforts to
have Lauterbach retained by the Nor
gan firm, the Union Pacific and other
great interests to head off congress
sional activity in Washington.
He telephoned to financial men and
lawyers in the names of Representa-
tive Palmer and Representative Rior-
dan. He assumed the guise of Chair
man McCombs, of the Democratic ma
tional committee, to telephone to
Chairman Hilles, of the Republican ma
tional committee.
Lewis Cass Ledyard of New York.
counsel for the Morgan firm, was one
of his attempted victims. Mr.. Ledyard
came to the witness stand armed
with almost verbatim account of all
the conversations held with Lamar,
who had represented himself as Con-
gresham Palmer.
AS he read the record of the CONVEX
sations, in themselves unusual in their
tones, Lamar, sitting nearby, laughed
and nodded, saying That's right" and
slapping his leg with apparent enjoy
ment.
