was subjected 70 a merciless cross
examination today by the senate
lobby committee. Through a morning
and afternoon session and again in
the evening until almost midnight Da-
vid Lamar's friend was pressed by the
committee, and when the days work
was over Mr. Lauterbach had made a
very unfavorable impression.
Under the rapid fire of questions,
Mr.. Lauterbach forgot frequently, con-
tradicted himself. and visibly squirm-
ed under the ordeal to which he was
subjected He was compelled TO ad-
nit that he had exaggerated" when
he told Lewis CAGE Ledyard. j. i.
Morgan's lawyer. that he, Lauterbach,
had investigated the sentiments of the
Democrats in Washington and knew
they were opposed TO any real investi-
cation of the steel trust.
When one eXaggerates fact, he
utters falsehood, doesn't he?" asked
Senator Reed.

! admission.
Considering Criminal Action.
That the committee is considering
the possibility Of criminal action in
volving both Lauterbach and Lamar.

gators went out of their way to obtain
from Mr.. Lauterbach a statement

Mr.. Lauterbach's testimony was
remarkable chiefly for the new YER
sions of his own and Lamar's activi-
ties. The New York lawyers state
ment today disclosed him as the in
nocent victim OF the good intentions
of his ardent friend, Lamar. Lamar

to give impressive evidence of his
gratitude for Lauterbach's friendship.

bach. and now Mr.. Lauterbach, ac-
cording &c the story told by him to-
! day. finds himself sacrificed -nn--the
! altar or This friendship through a
chain OF the most unfortunate cir
cumstances.
Lauterbach denied today that he
ever had any knowledge OF Lamar's

and others. that he himself had ever
pretended to speak for anyone prom
incnt in the Democratic party. ex-
cept on one occasion, when he had
represented himself as spokesman for

I4auterbach acknowledged that the
presentations which he had made to
Mr.. Ledyard. as having come from
Senator Stone. never had been given
to him by the senator. but were
merely statements which Lamar had
told I.auterbach Senator Stone had
made to him.
In other words. Mr.. Lauterbach to-

In the election Of police. fire. school

session of the council last night there
was no opposition to any one OF the

friends Of the men who were finally
chosen got busy, and when the votes
were taken all opposition had been
dispelled.
Ii had been stated that DIR. Hoge
would have opposition. The Madi-
son ward delegation favored his cleo
ton, and so agreed among them
-srrves, pefOre the meeting. It had.
also, been rumored around the hall
that there would be opposition to the
election Of DR.. Hutchinson, who had
been the choice OF the Madison ward

Old Friction Revived.
1t was pointed out today that at
least two members might be expected
to feel resentment against Captain
Potts because OF difficulties they had
with the previous administration OF
the navy department with which Cap
tain Potts was identified by reason
OF his service in Washington.
Ii was recalled today that Admiral
Ward, chairman OF the board, got
into serious difficulties with the navy
department last year when Captain
Potts was aide for personnel posi-
ton OF great power in regard to the
assignment Of officers.

He came very near being forced to
retire. One OF the causes Of friction
was the order of Secretary Meyer that

The Wall Across the WAY.

Tho Wall Across the Way.
1t was dark when Rose reached
home. She had walked rapidly. me-
chanically taking familiar turns. crest
ing the long slope Of the hill at a
painting speed. rounding corners where
gushes of light revealed her as a dark.
fitting figure hurrying by almost at
a run.
She was as oblivious to her sur
roundings as Berny. left motionless on
the park bench. Never before in her
life had anything like this touched her.
Such few troubles as she had known
had been those of a sheltered domes-
tic life-the life Of a cherished child
whose dainty self-respect had never
been blurred by coarse breath. Now
had come this horrible revelation. 1t
shook the pretty world she had lived
in like an earthquake. Idols lay
broken in the dust. She had often
seen her father rough and brutal as
he was to Gene, but that was a diff
ferent thing to her fathers buying
that wretched woman's husband, buy
ing him for her. Berny's face rose up
on the darkness with its pitiful assump-
ton of jaunty bravado, Its mean
shrewishness under the coating of
powder and rouge.
How could they, do it7" the girl
painted to herself. J"How could they
ever do such a thing?"
She did not suspect Dominick. She
could not have believed he was party
to such an action unless he had told

glance OF scorn touch the Questioner.

voice did not have any assurance of

you have. You seem to me to have
q right to say anything savage and
angry and insulting. And can only
say to you I'm sorry. I'm sorry, and l
ask your pardon-for me and for the
others. And that doesn't make 1t any
easier for you to bear, or do you any
good"
Berry swallowed dryly and said:
NO, It doesn't"
-Al can do now is to promise you
that It stops today and for ever.
You'll never be bothered again by any
thing Of the kind. You can go back to
your home and feel that never again
will any one belonging to me try to
come between you and your husband.
I can't say any more. l can't talk
about 1t. Good-by."
She turned away as she spoke and
without a backward look walked rap

street. With an immovable, unwink-
ing gaze. Berry followed her figure as

ing to dissolve into the curd-like cur
rents that surrounded It.
Berny sat without moving on the
bench. staring in the direction in
which It had disappeared. Her hands
lay limp in her lap. the fog beaded in
. crystal hoar on her clothes. She did
not notice its growing chill nor the
rapid downeoming Of the dark. Her
body was as motionless as a statue,
but her mind was like still, rankly-
overgrown lake. suddenly churned In
to activity by unexpected gales of
wind.
