DENIES
CHARGES MADE
BY. LAMAR
Never Knew Him and Was Unac-
quainted With Morgan, Champ
Clark Declares.

WASHINGTON, July 11.-Speaker
Champ Clark appeared before the
Lobby Committee of the Senate to-
day and made a denial that he ever
knew or had anything to do with J,
Pierpont Morgan, Lewis Cass Led
yard, Edward Lauterbach or David
Lamar. The Speakers declaration
was in answer to the Lamar Lauter-
bach testimony before the committee.
although Lamar finally admitted he
never saw Speaker Clark and never
had any direct communication with
him
1t was the intention of the commit
tee to call Colonel Martin w. Mulhau,
but this action was delayed by
lengthy testimony given by w. L.
Whitman, of Boston, a wool manu-
facturer. Whitman testified, among
other things, that Simon n. D. North,
former Director of the Census, was
on the pay roll of the National Assoc
citation of Wool Manufacturers while
he was chief statistician of the Census
Bureau and while he was clerk of the
Senate Finance Committee.
He was clerk of this committee
while the Dingley tariff bill was under
consideration. Whitman said North
received $4,000 year from the asso-
citation up to the time he became Dr.
rector of the Census.
Clark Defends Himself.
'Ledyard says that Lauterbach told
him that he was in communication
with me through Senator Stone"
said Speaker Clark "Lauterbach.
who acknowledged that he lied, said
that Lamar gave him the information.
Lamar confessed that the whole tale
was lie to force Morgan & Co. to
take Lauterbach back into their en-
ploy. All of them disclaimed any ac-
quaintance or communication with
me.
Senator Stone justly and promptly
characterized the Lamar Lauterbach
tale a lie, in which he was entirely
correct. He and l never in our lives
conversed about or in any way mem
toned to each other Morgan & Co.
nor the Steel Trust investigation.
Il never spoke to John Pierpont
Morgan or any member of his firm in
my life; never communicated with
him or them in any manner whatso-
ever; never authorized anybody else
to do so.
Didn't Know Morgan.
Il was, to my best knowledge and
belief, never introduced, even casual
ly to him or to any of them. To my
best knowledge and belief, / never
saw any of them except Mr.. Morgan
himself, and that was across the large
dining room of the New Willard at a
Gridiron Club banquet.
Il was introduced to Lauterbach
here in Washington several years ago
in the presence of several gentlemen
and passed the usual salutations with
him. That was all. / never saw him
before nor since, and never communi-
Gated with him in any manner what
soever nor about any business matter
whatsoever.
Il never had heard of Lamar and
knew only by seeing his name in the
papers that there was such a man as
Lewis Cass Ledyard. 1t seems to me
that when Mr.. Ledyard found out thai
Senator Stones name and my name
were being banded about by Lamar,
the pseudo palmer, and Lauterbach he
ought to have let me know"
