PERTINENT QUERIES.
Questions Raised by Judge Robert
S. Lovett. Head of the Union Pa
cifc in His Testimony.

Washington, June 26.-The Senate
lobby investigating committee is le,
termined to get the answer to these
questions:
Are big financial interests, or men
prominent in the financial world, be-
ing preyed upon by certain smooth
individuals who seek to make them
believe that they are able to pull
wires in Washington with unusual
skill?
If so, are these individuals using
the names of and impersonating
members of Congress?
The lobby probing committee will
not be able to call witnesses to an
swer these questions raised by the
testimony of Judge Robert S. Low

esting and sensational than the in
quiry into the lobbies working to in
fuence legislation and shape public
opinion with respect to legislative
matters.
The possibility that efforts have
been made and traps carefully set
TO .lupe, not only financiers but also
ambitious but innocent persons seek
ins to obtain appointments from the
government is suggested as ono of
the qualifications Of this business.
This phase of the lobby situation
was not suggested by Judge Lovett,
but by recent developments in which

individual in Washington.
Judge Lovette testified that long
and determined effort had been made
to have Edward Lauterbach, a New
York lawyer, retained by his company

No corruption or corrupt methods
were alleged, but Judge Lovett de-

himself as Congressman Rlordah o'

and suggested that employment Of
Lauterbach might avert trouble II

</OU will at once realize that the pictures
for George Barr McCutcheon's
new serial which begins in this ISSUE
are by Arthur I. Keller. For many years
all pictures that Mr.. Keller has sent forth
have commanded attention. He has won
his way to the front rank of illustrators and
artists. Presumably all illustrators are
artists; but very few artists are illustrators,
even among those who make pictures for
stories and articles
For the most part an artist who is sup
posed to illustrate a story hasn't the slight
est hesitation in changing the personal ap-
pearance of the characters nor the scene in
which the action is supposed to take place.
These things are regarded as unimportant
detail wholly subservient to the artists idea
of what he thinks should have been.
Arthur l. Keller-his middle name is
Ignatius. although you never have seen it
signed to picture-s both an artist and an
illustrator. Moreover, he is a real artist who
is also a real worker, and that is about the
finest of combinations. He has another dis
tinctlon, he was born in New York City.
There are four million people in the metropo-
lis; but nearly all of them were born some
where else. The native born seem as anxious
to escape from New York as the native born
of other places seem to get to it.
Not only was Mr.. Keller born in New
York but he was bonn on the Fourth Of
