Lamont's Story Wins.

"The newspaper men walked back to
the hotel in pretty heated argument.
Lamont had told them; the other half
did. They early reached an agreement
that they should stand together on
whatever story they sent out. an ar
rangement which newspaper men often
make. And then they went into confer
ence at the hotel to decide which should
be their story.
"One Ingenious representative of a
sensational sheet in New York pro-
posed that they should compromise
loving i Gi mornins ' t's the malignant aiI amt
growth" story. and follow it a day
later with the dentistry substitute.
He thought 1t would do no harm to
throw scare" into the country for
twenty-four hours. and that Mr.. La
mont could do nothing the next day
except to reiterate his denial. But the
older and more seasoned correspond
ents, particularly those who had known
Col Lamont. warmly espoused his view,
and the next day without a dissenting
voice the newspapers, including the
press associations. gave to the coun-
try a reassuring version Of the case.
Secret Marvelously Kept.
"It seems wonderful how SO many
people were thrown or the scent, when
so many incidents connected with the
picion. 1 have just been through the
fles Of a newspaper of that day, sup
piled with the dispatches of press as
sociations and special correspondents,
and I marveled at the skill with which
the secret was kept. Every form of
was employed. even to the
paintings of Commodore Benedict's
yacht. the Oneida's different color, SO
1t would be less readily recognized in
It's journey through the sound.
Zone can but marvel. as 1 said before,
at the completeness with which an event
OF such magnitude-aside from sporadic
leaks which were soon arrested-escaped
the scrutiny Of the press and has remain-
ed q secret until this late date And
yet no one can hereafter tell the story
Of the Cleveland administration, one Of
the most important in our recent history.

vote of acknowledgment and thanks
was extended to Mr.. R. NJ. Harrison,
