The chauffeurs were Albert Moore, of

LAUTERBACH is
HARD PRESSED
Prosecution of Those Who
Impsrsonate Federal Officers


Washington, July 7:-Preliminary
prosecution of those concerned in the
impersonation of congressman in
connection with Wall street lobbying
is to be sought if the senate lobby
probe committee has its own way.
This was plainly indicated today
when the committee permitted Ed
ward Lauterbach, New York lawyer,
publicly to wave immunity before
it permitted him to continue his story
of his relations with David Lamar,
the wolf of Wall street" Lauter-
bach had a hard time on the stand
He was forced to admit that he lied
when he told Louis Cass Ledyard,
Morgan's lawyer, that he had inves-
tigated the sentiment of Democrats
in Washington and knew the Demo-
Gratis were opposed to any investiga
ton of the steel trust. LauterbaCh
said he told Ledyard on February 6
that he did not represent himself as
Senator Stone or Speaker Clark. He
admitted, however, that he told
representative of J. P. Morgan that
former President Taft was opposed
to the Stanley steel trust inquiry and
that he could have prevented it If he
had been attorney for the Morgan In
terests.
