Lamar again GRILLED
ON FLOOR OF SENATE
Senator Clark. of Wyoming. Calls Him
Notorious and Self-con-
fessed Liar"
OBJECTION IS MADE BY CLAPP

David II. Lamar. the Wolf Of Wall
Street" came in for another grilling on
the floor of the Senate yesterday after
noon. when Senator Clark. of Wyoming.
called Lamar notorious and self-con-
fessed liar"
Discussion of LAmar's character came
during the debate on the Lane steel
trust rebate probe.
Senator Clapp objected strongly to
"dodging the issue under cover Of de-
nounciAg a man." Senator Oliver. in at
tacking Green, the witness whom Senator
Lane wished to testify before the Inter
state Commsrce Commission. read Green
statement that he CGreenD had threatened
former Attorney General Wickersham
with impeachment ii he did not bring
suit against the harvester trust
Il don't believe he or any one else
could say such a thing without being
ordered out Of the Attorney Generals
Office declared Mr.. Oliver.
Senator Borah demanded of Senator
Newlands. chairman of the Senate Inter
state Commerce Committee. a chance TO
vote on the Lane resolution without the
amendments placed upon it by the com
mittee. which changed il from an order
to investigate to a reference.
There will be no excuse for the Sen
ate in negiecting to direct this investi-
cation IL II should develop after the
statute Of limitations had made prosecu-
ton impossible. that the steel trust has
received. say s2oa.ooo.Ooo. of rebate" de-
clared Senator Borah.
The resolution went over until today
under the rules.

PUBLIC MAY HEAR
|0F SULLIVAN CASE
Open Hearing for Deputy
Fire Chief Likely to
BE Ordered.
|DARR WRITES LETTER
Commissioners Consider Communica-
ton in Executive Session-Now
Considering Nature of Probe.
|DARR WRITES LETTER

| A thorough public probe into the Five
and Ten Cent Store fire on December a
In which 1--WE firemen were trapped fol
more than an hour and half. and which
| resulted in Deputy Fire Chief Andrew J
| Sullivan being informally requested tc
| resign. now seems probable.
| On the receipt of a letter from Charles
W. Darr, attorney for Sullivan. the Com
missioners yesterday morning held a brief
| executive session. at the close of which
Commissioner Newman stated that Mr..
Darr,s request for a public investigation
Of charges made against Sullivan by
witnesses in Commissioner Siddons re-
cent ''star chamber probe, Is likely to
be granted. II Is believed that the Com
missioners are now considering the nature
of the proposed inyestigation-that is,
whether 1t should be a hearing by trial
board or otherwise.
Mr.. Darr's letter asserts that II the
Commissioners do not see the case in the
light In which Sullivan and his friends
see 1t. the deputy fire chief is ready TO
bow" to the orders of his superiors. Mr..
Darr makes IL clear. however. that Sulli-
vans friends would consider a summary
discharge of the deputy fire chief as a
result Of thus far unproven statements,
as unreasonable and cruel"
New Angle from Testimony.
Since the exclusive publication in The
Washington Herald last Sunday OF ex-
tracts from the testimony given before
Commissioner Siddons in his secret probe,
the Sullivan case has been given a Diff
ferent angle. These extracts tended to
show that according to the witnesses the
responsibility for the dangerous position
OF the five firemen trapped in the blaze
rested not solely upon Sullivan's should
ers, but that from the moment Chief En-
gineer Wagner arrived on the scene Of
the fire, Sullivan was ordered by Chief
Wagner to fight flames in considerable
distance from the place where the men
were buried; that Sullivan left Chief
Wagner in charge of the front part of the
fire. and that. according to the rules,
every chief. from the chief engineer to
the battalion chiefs" is responsible for
the location and position Of all COM
panes.
Mr.. Darr's letter intimates repeatedly
that the investigation might possibly
result in the discharge OF other members
OF the department"

WASTEFUL AND CRUEL
TO FEED WILD BIRDS

KANSAS CITY. Mo, June Sit is
an economic waste and humanitarian
mistake to feed wild birds, according
TO E. r. Weeks, president OF the Kan
sas Humane society. who has deliv.
cred several lectures 20 bird lovers
and school children here. The true
program of bird protection, according
to Weeks, IS
ITO protect at all times the Wild
birds and their nests from molesta-
ton and 10 provide acceptable nest
ing places as we'll as bathing iacili-
ties is entirely benefcent but very
seldom, II ever, can me pfOVlulHg Uy
man OF animal or vegetable food for
Wild birds be justified by humane or
economic considerations"
The reasons for not feeding the
birds as advanced by Weeks, are that
such treatment tends TO hold them in
climates where they should not stay
and they become less active than
their physical t++t--tts---aFA-r environ
ment demand The economic objec-
ton is that feeding keeps the birds
from consuming the wild things that
they should eat and which consump.
