TO REPORT that
LAMAR INQUIRY
is NOT NEEDED

Washington, March 4.-In response to
the Senate resolution requesting the In
terstate Commerce Commission to inquire
into the desirability of investigating
charges by David Lamar and William H.
Green that the United States Steel Cor
poration had received during the last six
years immense sums in freight rebates,
the commission probably will report that
the necessity for the investigation does
not exist.
AT the conclusion of the hearing today
Lamar submitted what purported to be
an agreement between the Federal steel
Co. and the Carnegie Steel Co., by which
the former was to pay the latter 40 cents
a ton from the published rate for carry
ing ore from the Minnesota mines to
Lake Superior ports.
The agreement, ii was said, was made
before the organization of the steel cor
poration and never became operative. La
mar declared that it was the basis OF MS
charge of a rebate conspiracy, and that
he had no other documents to present
Certified copies of entries on the books
of the steel corporation, showing re-
bates. which were promised at yester-
days hearings, We're not produced.

formed all the duty on me in the matter.
C. A. Severance, counsel for the steel
corporation, declined to cross-examine
Lamar or Green, saying their statements
were not evidential. Other witnesses
whom Lamar asked to be subpoenaed
probably will not be summoned.

Give Demonstration
OF Tango to Court

Lowell, Mass, March A public
demonstration of what is termed the
''tantalizing tango" was given in po-
lice court here this morning by Special
Officer Clark and Patrolman John w.
Swanwick.
With a court room filled to overflow
ing with spectators the trial of Frank
Hennessy and Angelina Narcotic was
resumed before Judge Enright. The
charge is that the defendants were
LEVIED and wanton in their actions
while attending dance on the night
Of Feb. 10. Later in the day the court
room was ordered cleared by Judge
E.nright.
The judge was not satisfied with a
word picture painted by Officer Clark,
although the latter described the ac-
tions he objected to in detailed man
ner Officer Swanwick was therefore
called and, with Officer Clark, imper-
sonating the woman, an exhibition was
given of the movements the defend
ants were alleged to have gone through
at the time Officer Clark observed
them.

| Diaz had host of loyal Mexican citi-
zens behind him who would rush to
his support to establish a real govern
ment in Mexico. They wanted to get a
promise, if possible, from the Ameri-
can government that ii would uphold
Diaz and recognize him If counter
revolution succeeded. Several members
of the committee characterized the
proposition as preposterous.
The committee is taking a most ac-
and intends to get all the information
possible so that it may be prepared

pecially if the administration should

No Explanation Of Missing.
The reported murder of two American
citizens-Gustav Bauch by Constitution
alists and Clemente Vergara by Federals
remains yet unexplained.
The requisition by Governor Colquitt of
Texas upon the Federal governor of
Nueryo Leon for the extradition of those
responsible for the kidnapping of Ner-
CARA occasioned much discussion in Off

what II looked upon as the legally consti-
tuted government in northern Mexico for
by the special treaty with Mexico extra
dition proceedings can be carried on be-
tween governors in adjacent border states
without reference to the American state
department.
Secretary Bryan in reply suggested to
Governor Colquitt that he might ask for
the extraditton of the offenders from 'the
governor of Nuervo Leon" leaving 1t to
the Texas governor TO determine who
been asked for on the charge of horse
stealing. State department officials say
that under the treaty the offenders. II
extradited. could not be tried for murder
because Veragara was slain on Mexican
soil.
Asked about the status of the commits
sion of American and British representa-
tives who were to have examined Ben
tons body, Secretary Bryan said the mat
ter was in status quo" He added that
confirmation had been received by the
state department from American Consul
Simpich of the appointment by Gen. Car

able that the commission will await the

the services of Pitcher Banding said
Ban johnson, president of the Amer

ence with Charles w. Somers, owner

other baseball magnates were on their
way TO New ork to meet the mem
hers of the ComiskeyMcGraw party
on it's return from the trip around the
world.
Pitcher Blanding returned to the
Cleveland Club of his own volition,"
continued johnson. Neither Mr.. Som
ers nor prevailed upon him to return.
The other members of the club, real
izing the strength that Blanding
would add to their team and with Wis
ions of possible world series, petit
toned the pitcher to return. In a pub
lie statement Blanding admitted that
he made a mistake when he joined
the Federais. We will protect this
player to the limit and the fact that
he deserted the organization at an
earlier date will not lessen the
strength of our campaign for protec-
ton"
Johnson scoffed at the idea that the
organization was fearful of the out
come Of the baseball war.
Il think the Federals are the wor-

Wells and j. o. Reed of Norfolk, the
latter speaking for the Norfolk Truck
Growers Association today filed pro-
tests with the Interstate Commerce
Commission against the proposed 5 per
cent. advance in freight rates by
Eastern railroads. Testimony which
they introduced indicated that the
present cost of producing garden pro-
ducts with incidental charges for crat-
ing and haulage was so high that any
increase in freight rates would be dis
astrous to growers.
A. w. Lyman, representing fishermen
of Ocean City. Md, and vicinity, urg
ed that existing freight and express
rates for the transportation of fresh
fish were too high and that the ship
pers could not stand an increase.
