WASHINGTON". June 25. Robert Scott
Lovett, chairman of the board of di
rectors of the Union Pacific Railroad
Company, told the Senate "lobby" In
vestigating committee tonight that a
long-continued and determined efTort
had been made by his company "to
urease the -wheels" In "Washington and
prevent unpleasant agitation in Con
gress against the dissolution plan of
the Union Pacific-Southern Pacific sys
tem, ordered by the Supreme Court and
now before the Department of Justice.
Judge Lovett made no charge that
any corrupt methods had been used to
secure the employment of Lauterbach.
He did swear, however, that someone
purporting to be Representative Rl
ordan. of New York, had urged over
the telephone the retention of the New
Yorker and had suggested the likeli
hood of difficulty In Congress, which
might be averted .by his employment
as counsel.
Lawyer Offer Help.
A similar telephone conversation had
occurred, he said, between a man also
representing himself as Mr. Riordan
and Maxwell Evarts, counsel for the
Southern Pacific.
Otto IT. Kahn, of Kuhn, Loeb & Co.,
a New York banking-house interested
In Union Pacific, the witness said, had
several conversations with Mr. Lauter
bach personally. In which the lawyer
had referred to what might be ex
pected from the "radical element' in
Congress in relation to the dissolution-
plans of the two Toads.
"Mr. Kahn ' reported to me," said
Judge Lovett, "that Mr. Lauterbach had
said in substance that a motion was
about to be made, I think in the House
of Representatives, to oppose this pro
posed dissolution or the disposition of
the stock of the Southern Pacific which
is now held by the Union Pacific and
that It probably would also involve a
reopening of the trust inquiry and I
think some other matters that had been
more or less discussed.
"The 'radical party." as he called
them, were about to commence these
efforts and they were going to make a
point about common banking control
he mentioned some of the Congressmen
who would lead in this and Indicated
that he might be helpful in the matter
and that his services were available
if desired."
Phone Impmonitlona Frequent.
Judge Lovett said he had made no
effort to determine whether It was ac
tually Representative Riordan who had
telephoned to him and to Mr. Evarts.
lie had not doubted it. he said, until
he learned recently that many "Wall
street financial men had been called up
repeatedly by men -who falsely repre
sented themselves to be members of
Congress.
"I now have serious doubts that it
was Congressman Riordan who talked
with me over the telephone," he added.
Questioned by the committee, Mr.
Lovett said Lewis Cass Ledyard an
other New York attorney, had been
called up by a man purporting to be a
Representative in Congress, but that
Mr. Ledyard investigated and . found
that he was not. The Impersonator,
he said, was seeking "to have some
other person employed."
Connlprncy In Credited.
Judge Lovett said he ignored the ef
forts to have Lauterbach employed un
til he became convinced that a con
spiracy had been formed that might
succeed in tying up the Union-Factnc-Southern
Pacific dissolution plans until
after July x 1.
"I believe there was a conspiracy
here," said Judge Lovett, "to try to
force us to employ someone we did not
want to employ and that the conspira
tors, after trying various methods,
were about to go into the newspapers
and create opposition in Congress to
the plan for dissolution that was about
to be carried out."
Judge Lovett was asked who he be
lieved the conspirators were. He named
Mr. Lauterbach and the man who rep
resented himself to be Representative
Riordan.
"I believe and my associates on the
executive board believed that there was
another individual in New York who
was the most active agent in It, but I
did not come in contact with him nor
did any other on the executive commit
tee." Judge Lovett told the committee that
ne made public his charges against al
leged lobbyists because he was con
vinced that those "conspirators" were
securing the publication of statements
resigned to show that the Harriman
roads were seeking to bring about an
Improper control through certain bank
ing interests not only of the Union and
Southern Pacific, but the Pennsylvania
and Baltimore & Ohio systems.'

NEWTHOUGHTCULT
HOLDS CONVENTION
AUDIENCE COMES FROM
OVER PACIFIC COAST.
ALL
Adherents Have No Creed, Explain
ing That Movement Is Conscious-'
ness or Christ Within Soul.
Several hundred followers of the New
Thought cult gathered last night in the
assembly hall of the Hotel Multnomah
at the opening session of the five-day
convention of the National New
Thought Alliance. The audience came
from all over the Pacific Coast, where
the New Thought movement is said to
be strongest of any place in the world.
The New Thoughters represent an en
tirely new dispensation of things. Their
prayers are not appeals in words. In
stead the "comrades," as they term
themselves, . hold a .silent communion
with one central thought held in com
mon. Last night the thought was "The
Spirit of Truth illumines me and re
veals me to . myself." It was held in
silence for about three minutes. Their
songs are " not the traditional gospel
hymns, although many of the fine old
tunes are used. The topics are of love
and faith and courage. "Onward Chris
tian Soldiers Marching as to "War." is
paraphrased so that it reads
"Onward, comrades, onward,
"With love's healing message ever to
the fore."
The New Thought adherents have no
creed. They explain that the movement
is "away from outside authority toward
allegiance to an inside authority the
Christ consciousness within the soul."
Last night the address, of welcome
was made by Rev. Perry J. " Green,
pastor of the Portland Temple of
Truth, formerly a minister in an ortho
dox church. He told of his experience
in breaking away from his old faiths.
Ida Mansfield "Wilson, a New Thought
teacher and practitioner from the Rock
Ridge Center at Oakland, Cal., and
Harry Gaze, editor of "Life Culture,"
spoke briefly.
