LAMAR TELLS OF HIS
WORK FOR GOVERNMENT
Special by United Press Wire


Washington, July 2:-That he
first became interested in Union
Pacific stock through the late Russell
Sage, and that he tried to prevent
the federal government being robbed
by an underwriting syndicate, was
the declaration today of David
Lamar, New York broker, before the
senate lobby committee.
Lamar, who Is the central figure in
the alleged Lauterbach conspiracy,
was the chief witness, but before he
took the stand Representative Calder
was permitted to testify that he
never met Colonel Mulhall and that
the National Association of Manufac-
turers never financed any of his
campaigns.
Lamar admitted on the stand that
he had impersonated representatives
and others of national fame in call
Ing up officials and Harriman's lines
In behalf of Edward Lauterbach, the
New York attorney. He insisted that
he acted at all times through friend
ship for Lauterbach and said he only
wanted to secure him perfectly
legal employment" Lamar told of
efforts of Sage and himself to re-
organize the Union Pacific in 1887,
asserting that the roads were then in
bad shape and had owed the govern
ment $58,000,000. He says an un-
derwriting syndicate signed a settle
ment whereby the government would
be drefrauded of $30,000.O00, but

Colonel Criticises Congress-
men Who Oppose the Two
BattIsship a Year Program
WORST TYPE OF SERVANT
Cannot Uphold the Monroe
Doctrine or Hold lnsuIar
Possessions Without Navy
spscidI by United Prose wIrs.

Newport, R. l., July 2.--Colonel
Roosevelt today dealt with senators
and congressman who oppose appro-
priations for at least two battleships,
ammunition and smaller vessels
yearly. Speaking before the progress
siVe conference here he said: Every
senator and congressman, whatever
his party, should be regarded as un-
faithful to the public interests If he
fails partially to support the program
of providing for every year for two
battleships of the most efficient type.
These men are on level With the
men IN congress who voted against
fortifying Hawaii and our stations in
the West Indies and, by their ac-
tiOns invite national humiliation and
disaster There could be no worst
type of public servants than those
congressman who first do all they can
to prevent the American people from
being able to uphold their interests
and honor in the event of war, and
then do all they can with wanton and
ignorant folly to plunge right into
war"
Without large navy, the United
States would soon have to give up
all pretense of upholding the Monroe
doctrine. he declared, and would be
forced to abandon Panama, Alaska
and every insular possession.
