Tammany Dodses CohsIsn.

II was said that the attitude Of Tam
many was that Cohalan had made the
biggest political mistake OF his life
when he stood out against Connolly's
demands, and that 1t was up TO him to
extricate himself, If he could. The Or
ganization felt that 1t had plenty Of
troubles OF It's own this year without
being still further handicapped by a
pected not only to be politically shrewd
himself, but to aid the organization
with his political sagacity.
These same Tammany men, however,
admit privately that they do not know
but what orders may come in later
looking toward a whitewash. but the
shadow OF the Stilwell case is still
present here. and 1t seems certain that
IL Tammany should decide to line
up with Justice Cohalan the upstate
members of both Senate and Assembly
will fight shy Of any such move.
In the final preliminary conferences
between counsel and committee menu
bers to-day, none of which was official.
it was practically settled that there
would be no further attempt to hobble
the proceedings by any such moves as
were first contemplated, such as fore
Ing Mr.. Guthrie to question witnesses
Only through Joseph A. Kellogg, the
counsel assigned to the legislative COM
mittee by Attorney General Carmody.
Connolly will be the first witness to-
morrow morning, and II Is expected
that he will have TO face a fierce cross
examination at the hands OF Mr..
Stanchfield and Mr.. Jerome as soon as
his direct story has been told. The
lawyers for Justice Cohalan expect that
Connolly will not be turned over to
them before the Wednesday morning
session. as the meeting Of the Legisa-
ture tomorrow evening will prevent a
night session of the committee.
In a statement made public from the
Office OF the Attorney General to-day It
was explained at some length that the
elimination OF the word conspired and
the substitution of the word agreed in

Cohalan was made at the suggestion OF

The statement gives a telegram sent
by Mr.. Guthrie to Joseph A. Kellogg, In
which the chief counsel for the Bar AS
ISOLATION says: 1T was l who 5ug-
gested that the language Of the orig
inal draft should be modified so as to
avoid characterization of alleged cause
by unnecessarily opprobrious terms
which did not add to the legal effect OF
the statement
From the tone OF the unofficial an
nouncements made to-day after the
preliminary conferences it was taken
for granted here tonight that Judge
Kellogg's part in the case would prob
ably be secondary to that taken by Nj.

TO do in the presentation of the case, II

it Is equally certain that Justice Co

IL he is called to the stand, Will be

Mr.. Jerome and Justice Cohalan had
planned TO give out copies Of the an

There was no material change in the

To Hurry III. Trial Along.

Only one concession is being men
toned here tonight. and that is to the
effect that because Of Justice Cohalan's
physical condition every effort will be
made 10 hurry the case along as speed
lily as possible. The joint judiciary
committee members are laying tenta-
tive plans to finish up their hearing by
the end OF the week. take Monday and
Tuesday OF next week TO prepare their
report, with its recommendations and
findings, and put the case before the
Joint meeting OF the Senate and AS
sembly for final action by Wednesday,
July l6.
It is said that the need OF haste has
been impressed upon the committee
members Oh the ground that Cohalan's
condition is such that lie is In imminent
danger OF a physical collapse II the
proceedings should be long drawn out.
Justice Cohalan himself, when seen
tonight, would say nothing either as
to his physical condition or as to the
anu
ever, he seemed 10 be about as far as
could possibly be imagined from the
energetic and sparkling man who used
to be always at the elbow OF Charles
+. Murphy. OF Tammany Hall.
The report that was going the
rounds here tonight. TO which most
attention was paid. was TO the effect
that Cohalan had made through some
Of his stanchest friends a determined
effort to get assurances from Tammany
Hall that he would be supported by the
organization, but that such assurances
were not forthcoming. Tammany men
who arrived to-day insisted that they
had received no orders OF any kind on
the case and that II would be decided
solely on its merits.

telephone conversations between SEN
ator Stone and Mr. Ledyard were
brought out by a series of questions
by Senator'S Reed. Cummins and Walsh.
There you have it three ways
Which will you take?" demanded Sen
ator Reed.
Mr.. Lauterbach accused Senator
Reed of "misconstruing and misstat-
ing his utterances. There was gen.
eral laugh, In which Lamar, who sat
directly to the left of Mr.. Lauterbach,
Joined over the embarrassment of the
witness.
Mr. Lauterbach reiterated his state
ment that he had never seen or talked
with Senator Stone, nor assumed TO

He was grilled severely on this point
by Senator Reed on contradictions or
discrepancies in previous testimony,
but the witness insisted that he had
never assumed to have any understand
! ing with Senator Stone or Speaker

Il have stated this as explicitly as
could twenty. times" he pleaded.
Senator Stone asked to break in on

testimony of Mr.. Ledyard TO the erect
that Lauterbach called Senator Stone

terbach II he did not mean some one
besides himself. Lauterbach denied

! Senator Reed asserted that the wit
ness had never before denied that part
of the Ledyard testimony. Lauterbach
insisted that he had, and there was
sharp exchange of words.

| A stirring incident of to-night's ses-
sion occurred when Senator Reed sud
denly turned on Lamar and, pointing

not to coach Mr.. Lauterbach. Lamar
/ politely replied that he had not tried
to prompt the witness.
You had better not, or well put
you in the hands of the Sergeant-at-
Arms, where you'l have TO keep still"
retorted Senator Reed
That's all uncalled for" asserted
Mr.. Lauterbach.

Reed.

EAGER To Be Rehabilitated.

When Mr. Lauterbach first took the
stand he explained at length his motives
for desiring to rehabilitate himself in
the good graces Of the Morgan firm. He
testified that until he had heard Repre-
sentative Palmer's testimony ne knew
nothing OF Lamar impersonating mem
bers of Congress lie added that he felt
that Lamar "in some way was the cause
of the disaffection Of large corporations
to me-" He knew Lamar was "impul-
sive and hasty" in his actions, but had
never known him to do anything wrong.
Lamar had brought him large and
honorable business" Lauterbach SAID
and had introduced him TO Mr. Rogers,
for whom Lauterbach later did impor-
tant legal work He denied that he had
talked with Ledyard of Lamar's being
engaged in "blackmailing" operations.
Lauterbach said he had never seen
President Taft but that Lamar had told
him the Republican administration was
opposed to the Steel investigation. ON
that he based his statement to Ledyard
that Tart cid not desire the investiga-
ton He added he had censured Lamar
for not letting him know Of the imper-
sonations ne was carrying on over the
telephone.
Lamar said he had done these things
to bring to light the conspiracy against
me, Of which Mr.. Ledyard was the lead
ing factor" Mr.. Lauterbach went on.
He had been working assiduously for
two years to defame me because OF my
association with Lamar"
Wasn't that explanation absurd and
ridiculous?" asked Senator Reed.
Il told him that it was ridiculous and
absurd" witness answered.

Association with Steel Affairs.

Tell us how you expected TO stop ac-
tivity against the Steel Corporation de-
manded Senator Walsh.
Lauterbach began with an explanation
of his association with Steel affairs. He
said he had represented George Kessler'
third largest holder Of Tennessee Coal
and Iron stock, in the Steel pool be-
fore the 1907 panic and, at the request
of Mr.. Morgan, he had undertaken to Sc
cure an option on Kessler's stock! He
felt he could present arguments chow
ing the dangers that would attend an in
vestigation Of the Steel Corporation. He
said he had told Charles Steele, Of the
Morgan firm, that he could go ahead
along that line.
II told him thought could forestall
the necessity for an investigation" said
Mr.. Lauterbach. MY idea was to have
some arrangement made by the Stee'
people that would meet the criticisms
that had been made"
Witness declared that he had not meant
he could come to Washington and hold
UP the investigation pending in the

the investigation. ! believed that If the
Steel Trust had done some OF the things
they have done since and some Other
things the Investigation would have been

Senator Stones name was brought In
when Lauterbach said:
Lamar told me that Senator Stone had
been in telephone communication with
Mr.. Ledyard and had suggested that he
have an interview with me for the con :
sideration Of a general political adjust
ment of affairs"
Lauterbach said Lamar had given him

factory to the Democrats In Washington
who are acting through the intermediary
Of Senator Stone"
'He has interviewed In the matter and
represents the Democratic organization
in Congress" Lamar added, according
TO Lauterbach. Lamar assured him, the
witness continued, that Senator Stone had
given him authority to act on behalf OF
the Democratic organization. On that au-
thority, he testified. he had gone to Led
yard as representing Senator Stone and
Democratic leaders.

The fly is nuisance beside be-
side being a carrier of infectious
diseases, and the attempt to ex-
terminate it needs no justifca-
ton. How one can make ones
home, town or city flyless is de-
scribed by G. F. Hodge of Clark
University, Worcester Mass,
He says that the American pub
lie spends $1O.OO0,OOO a year for
window and door screens in a
futile attempt to exclude lively
insect which insists on getting
into the house every time the
doors are opened, He believes
also that the method of swatting
the flies, using fly-paper or in
door traps or poisons is ineffect-
i've, but may help. His method
is to make use in various ways
of the conical wire-mesh fly-trap,
which is familiar to almost ev-
cry one, in such way as to turn
the tables on the flies and put
them in Jail and let ourselves
out" The plan involves, of
course, the abolition as far as
possible of all breeding and
feeding-places for flies and the
application of the fly trap men,
toned above to the garbage-can,
to the screens on windows, to the
covers on manure-bins, ETC., all
of which can be done by little
mechanical ingenuity, Garbage
cans are on the market which
have cover larger than the can
and not fitting down closely on
it so that the flies gain access to
the can under the cover and es'
cape through a hole in the cover
over which IS fixed fly-trap. In
fighting the fly, Hodge has found
that the essentials of a success
full campaign are to transfer the
fight against the fly from the
house to outdoors, and then tC
exterminate it. Another es'
sential feature in town or city
Meade County news. [volume] (Meade, Kan.) 1900-1918, 1913-03-06

is that households must cooperate
One ignorant or careless home
can breed flies enough to vitiate
the best endeavors of a whole
town. Hodge has succeeded IN
his neighborhood in practically
eliminating flies; he uses no
screens in windows and doors,
and can sit out doors or have
windows or doors open at any
time without molestation. AS
flies begin to breed early in the
spring and as they breed with
marvellous rapidlty, the time to
arrange for fly-campaign is in
the winter.

While a noted physician was making
these statements before a body OF

found three boys, aged consecutively
seventeen, eighteen and nineteen
years, guilty of murder and convicted

youth saved them from hanging.
Society cannot afford to wax senti-
mental over a murderer because OF his
youth. It's duty, in self-preservation.
is to inflict punishment. A part Of
this self-preservation duty. however,
is to prevent the growth Of murderers.
In so far as society allows slums to
