Did he say he did it because OF ms

NO. not at that time. although later
he did say just that thing. said the
witness.
Witness Resents Insult"
Senator Reed examined the witness
closely as to his motive in hurrying to
Mr.. Morgan after Lamar had shown him
the draft Of the resolution. He caused
an outburst of Indignation when he de-
manded:
You both thought that you could
shake down Mr.. Morgan, a common

pounding the arm of his chair with his
clenched fist. That insinuation is an in

In an outburst of Indignation Mr.
Lauterbach declared that he thought ne
saw in the resolution an opportunity to
reconcile the personal friendship OF Mr..
Morgan and Mr. Lamar.

Lauterbach said he believed Lamar had
first shown him the steel trust resolution
as matter of information" and had
no idea that Lauterbach would insist on
seeing Morgan and trying to stop the
investigation.
Lauterbach said Morgan had referred
him to Charles Steele: that Steele had put
him off for few days and had then said
he didn't care to have anything to do
with It," that the steel interests courted
investigation and expected it.
What was it that Mr.. Steele didn't
care to have anything to do with ?" ask

But you said you went to Morgan to
effect a personal reconciliation between
him and Lamar interrupted Senator
Reed.
We'll, l knew that Mr.. Steele would
take the matter up with Mr.. Morgan"
said Lauterbach.
Members OF the committee at the con-

Fathers Activity Shown.

The correspondence before the commit
tee indicated that repeated attempts were
made by Anthony Caminetti, father of
one Of the defendants and recently ap-
pointed commissioner OF immigration, to
induce Attorney McNab to consent to
delay, using the arguments that his pres
ence In Washington to inaugurate the
new work in his charge would prevent his
attendance at the trial at the date set.
Mr.. McNab's consistent attitude of re-
fusal to accede to this request is shown.
Upon Mr. Caminetti's arrival in Washing
ton May % he wrote to Mr.. McNab re-
viewing earlier requests for postponement
of his sons case. After another refusal
from McNab, Caminetti telegraphed May
81, urging more strongly for personal rea-
sons the delay in the trial.

Lauterbach declared ne had not meant

The police ordinance, proposed by

abolition of the detective bureau will
not be retained in the favorable re-
port of the ordinance committee.

most distasteful to the majority of
the ordinance committee and to many
members of each party In the Com

be ordered and the nine lieutenancies
will be Created.

Northrop. After the supper short ad-
dresses and remarks in lighter vein
were made by the minister Rev Walter

Mr.. Felix Lyman and Mr J. w
Northrop. There was fine spirit of
enthusiasm and the sum of S475 was
given to the church by those present
and other friends.
The Rev. Mr.. Bennett is deservedly
popular, not only with the people Of
his own church, but with many others
in the West End, for his a BILE and bril-
liant preaching, which is unusually
fine and a treat to those who have
the privilege of listening to him.
