ating members of congress have beer
making demands ON Wall Stree,
financiers, has stirred congressional
circles to the depths. Lovett, chair
man of the board of control of the
Union Pacific railroad, made such q
charge before the senate lobby inves-
tigating committee last night. saying
that men impersonating representa-.
tives had claimed to be able to
grease the wheels in Washington
for the Union Pacific merger dissolu'
ton.
= While the lobby committee was in
recess today, plans for following the
trail Lovett disclosed were being TAX
en- up by members.
Lewis Cass Ledyard, New York
attorney, who encouraged such a
congressman over the telephone for
two weeks, and discovered that he was
not a congressman, probably will be
summoned Lovett told the committee
that Ledyard had strong circumstan
tial evidence as to whom the man was.
1t is probable that Otto H. Kahn, the
bankers attorney and counsel for the
Southern Pacific and other Wall
street men, will be asked to testify.
Lovett's testimony dealt with alleg-
ed efforts to force the railroad to en-
ploy Edward Lauterbach, New York
attorney who claimed to have enough
influence with members of congress
to prevent agitation against the dis.
solution plan and prevent re-opening
of the money trust inquiry
Mr. Lovett testified further that
Lauterbach, in his conversation with
Otto P. Kahn, had referred to Repre-
sentative Henry Of Texas, as one OF
the leaders of the radical element"
who might agitate certain questions
until Lauterbach exerted his influence.
Lcrett said he felt sure Henry had no
.ceraeetion whatever with Lautm'bach.
auterbach arrived here early to.
day and arranged with Chairman I
Overman TO be heard before the sen.

would explain his conversation.
