Did that ever occur to you Mr.

Your salesmen may be very

many places they CANNOT en-

Not so with the newspaper.
It isn’t denied entrance; it

An ideal paper like THE

The newspaper is not one mes-

UMAR’S STORY
CONFIRMED 8Y
HENRY MARTIN
Head of So-called Anti-Trust
League Supplements Brok-
er’s Testimony
NAMES NOT DIVULGED
Witness Before Senate Lobby
Committee Fears Anger
of Great Trust
WASHINGTON D. C. July 3. —
Confirmation of David Lamar’s claim
that it was he who drew the con-
gressional resolution under which
the Stanley committee investigated
the United States Steel Corporation
was given to the Senate lobby com-
mittee today by Henry B. Martin
head of a so-called "anti-trust
league.’’
Martin’s testimony less gripping
and less startling than Lamar’s yes-
terday when the latter blandly told
of confidential relations with Wall
street leaders and his ini personations
of congressmen was corroboratory
and supplementary to Lamar’s on
several points. He has testified that
after Lamar drew the steel trust in-
vestigation resolution he (Martin)
induced Representative Stanley of
Kentucky to introduce it. He did nut
tell Stanley that Lamar was its au-
thor but did not try to suppress the
fact. He disclaimed knowing that
Lamar had used the resolution be-
fore introduction in dealings with
financiers and protested he knew
nothing of Lamar's telephone im-
personations.
Manin Is Non-committal.
Persistent question by the senators
failed to make Martin divulge what
the "anti-trust league ' was or who
composed it. He declined to give
names of members or tell of the dis-
position of thousands of dollars he
■aid it had spent.
Before Martin was called Lewis
Cass Ledyard attorney for J. P.
Morgan & Co. who had testified yes-
terday as to Lamar drawing the steel
trust resolution resumed the stand
for a moment to testify that his in-
formation on that point came from
Umar and Lauterbach.
The senators gave Martin a lively
examination in an effort to disclose
what the "anti-trust league" was and
who composed it. Martin testified
that M. L. Lockwood of Oklahoma
was originally Its president; he was
secretary; Cotter T. Bride of this city
was treasurer and Herman Schul-
teis also of Washington was coun-
sel. At one time the "league" de-
pended on Attorney General Monett
of Ohio for legal advice he said.
Martin declined to give the names
of the league's members because they
would suffer from the anger of the
great trust who would ruin them.
Martin also declined to disclose the
expenditure of about $50000 by the
league on the same grounds.
Gave Evidence of Fraud.
Among the executive commitee of
the league he said were himself
Lockwood. Schulteis. Monett Bride
and W. B. Fleming of Kentucky. He
claimed he had presented to the
secretary of the navy evidence of
frauds in armor plate contracts and
had given information to other gov-
ernment officials regarding viola-
tions of the law by the "raiy oad
trust coal trust steel trust har-
vester trust and elevator trust’’ at a
cost of more than $lOOOOO. He
claimed to have drawn many bills
for introduction in Congress. had
helped prepare for an investigation
of tho "armor trust” and was "very
active’’ in the preparation of resolu-
tions for the money trust and steel
trust investigations.
Further questioning brought out
that Lamar in 1909 when the Wick-
ersham railroad law amendments
were before Congress had supplied
arguments and information which
led to the striking out of the sec-
tions to immunize railroads from
prosecutions.
"Did Lamar prepare the draft of
the resolution for the investigation
of the steel trust?” demanded Sena-
tor Cummins.
“It is my recollection that I asked
him to prepare it.” said Martin.
No S|>eeific Arrangement.
He added that he had no specific
arrangement with any member of
Congress for its introduction.
"This resolution was used in New*
York as “a basis for an attempted
reconciliation between Edward Uu-
terbach and the Morgan firm?” ask-
ed Senator Cummins.
Martin insisted he knew nothing
of that.
Martin testified that the resolu-
tion was introduced in the House
in practically the form he and La-
mar agreed upon.
"Did you tell Representative Stan-
ley. who introduced the resolution
that Lamar had prepared it?”
“I don't think so.”
"Did yotl try to suppress that
fact?"
"Not in the least."
Martin testified he had worked for
the "money trust” investigation had
conferences with Lamar who favor-
ed it. but he had nothing to do with
drawing the investigation resolution.
I yobblrd for Contracts.
The committee wanted to know
what Martin knew about lobbies in
Washington. He declared that when
Chairman Lovett of the Union Pa-
cific board and Paul D. Cravath of
counsel had been to the department
of justice t > discuss the Union Pa-
cific dissolution with Attorney Gen-
eral Mcßeynolds they had “lobbied”
the department. A. C. Dinkey of the
Cameeh* Steel Company. Vice Presi-
dent Johnson of the Bethlehem Steel
Companv. and Vice prresident Pe-
trie of the Midvale Steel Companv
had been in Washington in March

"The result of their continued

PLIIIIP FIFTEEN
BJBBELS FROM
NEU OIL WELL
Nine-inch Hole at New Som-
erset Is Pumped Out at
930-foot Level
INDICATIONS ARE GOOD
If It Is Not Paying Proposition
Well Will Be Sunk to
Depth of 1100 Feet
PumpinK from the new 9-inch well
at New Somerset yesterday brought
about 15 barrels of oil to the sur-
face and the indications were strong
that possibly a greater flow may be
encountered. The work of proving
the well will be continued until such
time as it Is demonstrated either
that the well at its present depth of
930 feet is a paying one or non-
paying. If non-paying the drill will
be sent down to the 1100-foot level
the same depth at which the smaller
well became a gusher.
J. R. Bondurant a member of the
Somerset Oil and Gas Company and
the driller of the well placed the
strainer In the well and then began
to use the pump. Those who saw
the performance say that whenever
the pump was stopped the oil rose
considerably in the well. They are
not ready to believe that the well
could be pumped continuously and
continue to yield.
Other Wells Are Going Down.
Other wells that have been started
in the vicinity of the small gusher
are going down as fast as conditions
will warrant. A. W. Staiti and those
associated with him are drilling
about a quarter of a mile from the
gusher and another well is being put
down near the townsite of New Som-
erset. Both are expected to get into
the oil sands at a depth of about 1100
feet but the contractors are ready to
go to 1500 feet to prove up the ter-
ritory.
J. R. Bondurant and his associates
also have started a well near Mit-
chell’s lake believing that the un-
derground stratum of oil may extend
in that direction. At the place
where the well is going down many
indications of oil have been found
seeping through the surface and oil
men say the territory looks good. It
Is tn the east of the New Somerset
field.
Big Barbecue at Somerset.
A big barbecue will be given to-
morrow at New Somerset and the
farmers and land owners from the
surrounding territory are expected to
be present in large numbers. It is
expected that oil well development
will be a subject of considerable
discussion and that several leases
may be made.
The fact that oil has been found
in the big 9rinch well of th«x*isumer-|
mi Company baa given an added im-|
petua to the development of the ter-
ritory and some of the larger oil
concerns of the country are said to
be keeping an eye in that direction.
A Boston man is said to have taken al
lease for several thousand acres and
to be ready to go down a ter the
fluid as soon as it is demonstrated
that it exists In paying quantities.
WEARIED OF BEING
MERELY MILLIONAIRE
Wealthy Young New Yorker Who
Mysteriously Vanished Found
in Arkansas Town.
VAN BUREN. Ark. July 3.—Utter
weariness of being merely a million-
aire is the reason John O’Brien of
New York who has been missing for
three years today advanced in ex-
planation of his long absence from
the ken of old friends
O’Brien is a former soccer foot-
ball star of Columbia University. He
mysteriously vanished at the close of
his college year in 1910. He was
found yesterday in this town where
he is working as an assistant en-
gineer for a railroad.
"Why should I worry about being
heir to $1200000?" said Mr.
O’Brien. "I have a job. When I con-
vince myself that 1 have made good
in the world. I will return home. I
became plumb tired of being a rich
man with nothing to do except play
the society game and study new ways
to kill time. Just now I would not
trade my $l5OO a year position for
the biggest fortune in the world.”
Mr. O’Brien added that his mother
•has known of his whereabouts
though a nation-wide search has
been made for him.
ICE PLANTS SEIZED
Drastic Methods Used to Relieve Suf-
fering In Cincinnati.
CINCINNATI. Ohio July 3—Sev-
en non-union ice plants seized by
order of Mayor Hunt were opened
today by the board of health in an
effort to relieve the suffering caused
by the strike of ice workers.
Machinery of the different plants
were in charge of striking engineers
and firemen who were ordered to
return to work by union officials un-
der an agreement made with the
mayor.
While the manufacturers denounc-
ed the action of the city they had
taken no steps today to regain pos-
session of the plants.
The Cincinnati Ice Company ap-
pealed today for an injunction to
restrain the city "from trespassing
further on the company’s property."
Action was deferred.

ON PANCOAST'S
ESTIMATE WAS
MONEY VOTED
His Plea That He Prepared
No Specifications for Pav-
ing Is Surprise.
$6535 WAS APPROPRIATED
Estimate Bearing Engineer’s
Name Is On File In
Clerk’s Office
The published plea of City En-
gineer Pancoast that he should not
be criticized for the Denver Boule-
vard paving plans since he did not
prepare any specifications for this
work came as a surprise to men
familiar with all the circumstances.
It is argued that if anything this
is likely to prove more embarrassing
to the city engineer since it waa
upon an estimate of cost prepared
in his office on June 16 and carry-
ing his own signature that the ap-
propriation of $6535 the second one
made on this street work was passed
by the council. Men in tho council
themselves accustomed to handling
contracts inquire how. if Mr. Pan-
coast had no specifications for the
work he could estimate the total
cost for the paving at $24718.
In point of fact it has been a
matter of common knowledge among
the councilmen for some time that
no detailed specifications were pre-
pared for the paving of Denver
boulevard. This together with the
proposal to let the work without
first calling for bids was responsible
lor the criticism. But while there
were no detailed specifications for
Denver boulevard it was understood
by W. A. Kelly the contractor by
members of the city council and by
the people living along the street
that the specifications drawn for the
San Pedro hill paving also laid by
Mr. Kelly would be used in the
Denver boulevard paving. There is
this difference howevgr. the San
Pedro hill paving was laid on a
natural solid rock foundation while
on Denver boulevard there is no
foundation called for in the estimate
prepared by the city engineers' of-
fice.
Surprise to Fincham.
“I was surprised to note that the
city engnleer has been quoted as
saying he had prepared no specifica-
tions for the Denver Boulevard pav-
ing.” said Aiderman Fincham this
morning "for I had been informed
that the estimates which he prepared
as to the cost of the work were based
upon a set of specifications used in
the San Pedro hill paving and which
it had been decided to apply on the
Denver Boulevard work If this was
not the case I am at a loss to under-
