BRAVERY SAVES THE SHIP
Men Stick to Post When Accident Hap.
pened to Ship.

Newport, r. bravery of the en-
CINE room crew of the battleship Lou
isiana helped the vessel out of a dan
gerous predicament when a valve bon
net blew off, flooding the starboard en-
CINE. room. Incidentally the accident
gave Capt. Templin M. Potts, who was
dismissed by the naval "plucking
board" and retires, memorable ex-
perience at the close of his service
The rush of water through the pas
sage opened by the displacement of
the bonnet carried men off their feet
and forced them against the machin-
cry, but they stuck to their work.
Captain Potts sounded the call for
collision drill, bringing men to quar-
ters, and automatically closing the
bulkhead doors. A collision mat was
put overheard, mattresses and blan-
kets were brought into use, and waste
was damned into the hole, but to no
avail. Finally the pump began gain
ing on the water, and the battling en-
CINE room force was able to cram into
the hole a waste can. This was jack
ed securely, and the flow of the
threatening water was stopped.
When the accident occurred the bat
tleship was without steam, only one
boiler being in use for minor purposes

DAVID LAMAR ADMITS USING
NAMES OF LEGISLATORS TO
WALL STREET PEOPLE.
Organized Effort to Influence Wall
Street Financiers Is Admitted
on Stand.

Washington.-A story of misrepre'
sentation, impersonation of public
men and organized effort to influence
Wall street fnanciers probably with.
out parallel in the history of con.
gressional investigation was unfolded
before the senate lobby committee.
A prosperouslooking, 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 te1ephoned 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.
