LAMB AND POWER USE HIS NAME FREELY
He Retaliate by Flatly Denylaar All
They Ray aad lnqalrlnar Why
They Say It Other
Trstlmoay.
NEW YORK. Aug. II. Lawyer Alfred
Lamb, attorney for Peter Power, went on
the stand today and told all he knew about
tbe Northern Pacific merger suit. He
named the men who, with Power aa plain
tiff, and Captain Henry Stern aa go-between,
be aald, had hoped to conceal their
connection with the litigation and keep
their Identity hidden. Those he named were:
W. Bourke Cockran, Camllle Weldenfeld, H.
Content A Co. and Edwin R. Thomas, of the
firm of Thomas A Poet, Wall etreet banker
and brokers.
The story of Power's wandering came out,
and a plan to send him to Europe was re
vealed, aa waa his quasi connection with
the euit at Issue. Lamb said that he waa
practically forced by the people back of
htm to aend Power away and that he paid
the expense of his trip to West Hurley
tnd to Montreal. Weldenfeld. Cockran and
other sponsors of the Power suit, Mr. Lamb
declared, feared that Power would be
broken down aa a witness and would "give
away the people behind It." Cockran waa
telephoned to for advice In hla ' presence.
Lamb declared he was one of the persons
for whom Lamb waa given to believe' be
waa acting In pushing tbe suit and he was
one of those who advised Power to atay
out of the court's Jurisdiction and was
ready to aupply him with funds to enable
him to do ao. Mr. Lamb told the atory
readily, released, as he said he considered
himself, by the action of bia clients In re
pudiating him as their counsel. .
Power's Explanation.
Peter Power himself was on the stand at
the afternoon session. He said to the best
of hie belief he had received the 100 shares
of stock in payment for the use of hla name.
That waa hla aole interest In tbe suit. He
had been Instructed that the subpoena ser
vice was bad and had left New York City
with that understanding. In a manner his
testimony waa corroborative of that given
by Lawyer Lamb regarding the connection
of Messrs. Cockran and Weldenfeld with the
suit.
. W. Bourke Cockran tn an Interview to
night characterised all the testimony rela
tive to him as false In every detail.
. Mr. Lamb said he made a rough draft of
the complaint In the Power suit on a rail
way train. He promised to produce a
copy of the draft later.
"You told us Mr. Cockran would make an
Important witness," said Mr. Guthrie.
: "I am quite certain that Mr. Cockran
knew all about these matters and was finan
cially Interested. He was present at the
eenferences In Mr. Weldenfeld' office, and
I know Mr. Weldenfeld would take no steps
fcitiiuut Mr. CockriiD.' k&Onrlcugo &ud ap
proval." "Did Mr. Weldenfeld' partner, Thomas
W. Lawaon, have any Interest In this liti
gation?',' asked couneel.
"I think not. I am sure not."
Mr. Lamb also said David Lamar had bad
no Interest In the suits. Tell us about the
$750 you received from Mr. Weldenfeld,"
Mr. Guthrie continued.
. "Captain Stern had Insisted that Peter
Power be sent away. .That .was when tha
first attempt was made to aerve Power. He
waa afraid Power would break down and
give away secrets. Mr, Chandler suggested
that Power be aent to Europe. On July 27
Captain Stern came to my apartments and
Insisted that Power be ahlpped to Mon
treal at once. I hesitated. I did not know
how I would stand with Power out of my
control, and again I told Captain Stern
did not believe we had money enough to
send him to Canada, and Captain Stern
telephoned to hla housekeepers, but they
had none.
Had Conanlted Cleveland.
After Power waa served Mr. Chandler
came to my office and told me th service
was bad and that we could succeaatully de
fend him from tbe charge of contempt. I
was the more easily convinced that he was
right because I knew he had consulted with
Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Cockran. Mr.
Chandler told me Mr. Cockran said Power
need not appear In court tn person. Then
he said that Mr. Cockran, a keen judge of
human nature and public opinion, had said,
If they push that boy too hard they will
create a revulsion of public opinion.' "
Mr. Lamb said Power agreed to go to
West Hurley. He wanted to get married
anyway and Lamb told Mr. Chandler money
would be needed. Chandler aald he had a
check for $500, and when Lamb aald at
leaat $760 would be neceeaary Mr. Chandler
told him Weldenfeld would give another
check In the morning. Of the $760 about
$250 had gone to Power.
"Who waa to pay Power's expense and
support him tf he went to Europe?"
'Mr. Chandler said of course 'they would
pay the expeneea. In understood 'they'
meant Mr. Weldenfeld, Bourke Cockran and
Mr. Thomas."
Asked about hla financial dealings with
Weldenfeld. Mr. Lamb aald Weldenfeld ad
vanced blm $3,000 on acoount of fee held
up in the Consolidated Oaa matter and held
tie demand not for that amount. He aald
he hold a letter from Mr. Weldenfeld,
however, that show tb natur of th
transaction.
Counael bad further queatlons to aak and
a reeeas waa taken with the understanding
that Power would be called during the aft
arnoon.
Power began hia teatimony by aaylng that
he was 24 years of age; that he first met
Mr. Lamb In 1900, and that he began the
study of law tn Lamb' office in April of
that year. He waa to reoelve $30 a week
salary.
Did yeu ever own any atock In the
Northern Pacific Railroad company?" naked
Mr. Kellogg, who conducted tiie examlna
tlon.
Mr. Lamb told me Mr. Weldenfeld would
carry 100 share of tb atock for anyone
who would bring suit. Th stock waa aa-
signed to me."
Power aald he never saw Mr. Weldenfeld
All he knew of him waa that Mr. Lamb
told him the atock waa hla. That waa in
May of last year. He understood he was
to pose as plaintiff, but be did not know
until six months later what was tbe object
of the suit. He understood Mr. Welden
feld waa to bring tbe auit and pay tbe ex
panses. All the Information be had was
from Mr. Lamb,
To a direct question Power aald he had
called Bourke Cockran on the telephone
forty or fifty time during the different
times Mr. Chandler waa tn consultation
with Mr. Lamb.
After Power denied that he bad ever
acted aa an automobile cbaffeur to any
body, hla examination waa ended. The
hearing will be resumed next Tuesday.
Mr. Lamb aald he would make application
to Judge Lacombe to remit tbe balance of
Powar'a aentence of thirty days' Imprison
ment for contempt.

PORT WASHINGTON, L. I., Aug. 21.
W. Bourke Cockran, when aeen at hi hom
at Sands Point, said: "I have little or
nothing to ear reUUv to th teauiagny
of Mr. Lamb and Mr. Power In connection
with the Northern Pacific merger suit, ex
cept to say that It Is entirely false, ao far
as I am concerned. All I know about the
matter la what I have read In the papera.
I waa In is way responsible for the suit
being undertaken. I have had no relation
with Mr. Lamb for at leaat a year, and
never relative to thla matter. I have ho
Idea why my name has been brought Into
the matter and knqw of no reaaon why Mr.
LamD should have brought It in. This la

vania colliery at Morea called up headquar
tera and asked General Gobin to aend troops

that he, feared an attack on the nonunion

ine governor's troop waa dispatched to
the place, but the turbulence of the crowd
had subsided somewhat in the meantime
and when the cavalry arrived on the scene
here was comparatively quiet.
An Investigation of the affair showed that

former neighbor of Mrs. Bartholin, testified
that the old lady was auspicious and lived In
deadly fear of her son. . According to Mrs.
Brown' testimony, Mrs. Bartholin In a
conversation a few day before her death,
had told the witness that young Bartholin
waa nothing but a beast and that the
Mitchell family would regret the day they
allowed Minnie Mitchell to have anything
to do with htm. Mra. Bartholin In relating
her troubles declared that Bartholin waa
a dissipated ne'er-do-well, and that ahe be
lieved him capable of almost any crime.
Robert Mitchell, brother of th supposed
murdered girl, said today that be firmly
believed that neither Oscar Thompson nor
Old Dad" Claffey was responsible for hi
lster'a death. Efforts to have him disinter
the body met with only partial success. He
aald while he bad not aeen - the face of
the dead, he still felt that the body waa
that of hla. slater. He said, however, that
to relieve all doubts ha may exhume tb
body.
Bartholin Called Yesterday.
The leading tip today on the missing Wil
liam Bartholin came from a butcher. In
South Chicago, who said the man had en
tered his shop tbla morning and bad asked
for matches.
Doubtful Identity, will be the burden of
the defense of Oscar Thompson, John Claf
fey and Edward Counselman, who were held
yesterday to answer for the supposed
Mitchell crime. Tbe first two already stood
as principal and accessory In the murder of
Mrs. Bartholin. Aa yet nothing definite has
been heard of the whereabout of William
Bartholin. Much doubt exists, however,
as to whether Miss Mitchell I dead.
The early teatimony today pertained
largely to the finding of the body of Mrs.
Bartholin by newspaper men. Reporters
who searched the basement of the Calumet
avenue house told again the story of dig
ging up the body, of calling In Dr. Noel to
establish Its Identity and of the-later iden
tification by an acquaintance of Mrs.
Bartholin. Some Intereat waa aroused
when the Inquest was temporarily sus
pended In order that the Mitchell family
might produce a wltneas. Tbe police did
not know who the witness would be.
A new clue to the possible solution of
the Minnie Mitchell cass was found today,
when It was learned that a man resembling
Counselman had called upon Dr. J. L. Wil-
gus on August 11, with a young woman.
uppoaed to be Minnie Mitchell. Dr. Wll-
gus said tha man wanted htm to take tho
young woman as a patient, but ha refused.
Thia story," together with that told yester
day that tb girl Whs in a North Side hos
pital, lends further color to the theory
that the girl may be alive.
Another Body Fonnd.
This morning , tbe body of a girl wa
found upon the beach In Roger's park, tho
northern limits of the city. It waa at first
supposed to be that of Minnie Mitchell,
but the description does not tally with
that of the Mitchell girl. '
The body may be that of Nellie Hughes,
who disappeared a week or ten day ago
from the tfeck of City of Grand Rapids,
near Wauksgan. The police are Investi
gating. .
The new witness discovered by Robert
Mitchell la Mr. J. Brown, a friend of Mrs.
Bartholin. Her daughter, Lottie Brown,
waa intlmat with Minnie Mitchell.
During the morning Milton L. R. Ed
wards, a former roomer of Mrs. Bartholin,
went on the atand and told of hla feara
after Mr. Bartholin had disappeared, of
how Oacar Thompson came Into his room
one night In a auspicious manner and of
bis owa subsequent departure through fear
of being murdered had gone to Omaha.
Lieutenant Backus told of an interview
with Oscar Thompson, In wblch the latter
had told him that William Bartholin had
aent word to Thompaon that hla mother
had gone to Milwaukee.
Teatimony in the afternoon wa largely
routine and a repetition of atorie told to
tha police in the paat fortnight. Mra.
Brown testified that Bartholin had fre
quently quarreled with his mother and
struck her. She said Mrs. Bartholin had
a considerable amount of money juat be
fore she disappeared. Later In tbe day
the coroner'a Jury returned a verdict that
Mrs. Bartholin came to her death on July
6 from strangulation and recommended that
Oscar Thompson (who Is already held aa
principal In the murder) and Edward Coun
selman be held to the grand jury until dis
charged by due proceaa of law. Tbe jury
further recommended releasing John Claf
fey 'In thldcaae and that William Bartholin
be apprehended.

CONGRESS GOES TO SEATTLE
Tranitniuippi Gathering Dacidoa to Vitit
Ooait ii 1903,
EUSTIS RECALLS THURBER RESOLUTION
la Content with Evidence That Neve
lorker'a Denial ol Tratti' Ealat
ence I Not th Conven
tions Sentiment.
ST. PAUL, Minn.. Aug. 21. 8eattle waa
tonight aelected as the city in which will
be held the next session of the Transmls-
stsslppl congress in 1903. New Orleans waa
tbe only other candidate for the, honor ot
entertaining the congress.
The feature of today' eesslon was th
animated . discussion of the resolution In
troduced yesterday by William Henry Eustls
of Mlnneapolls demanding that the addresa
pf F. B. Tburber of New York, which Mr.
Eustl' resolution declared was a. specious
plea In behalf of the sd-called beef trust,
be eliminated from tbe records of the con
grM. Mr. Eustls argued that the printed
proceedings of the congress should not be
made the vehicle for disseminating litera
ture of thla class, which, he asserted, did
not represent the views of the majority ot
th delegates.. A number of other delegates
warmly supported Mr. Eustls, while others
as warmly opposed him.'
Those opposed took the ground that Mr.
Thurber, having been Invited to address
the congress, waa entitled as a matter of
courtesy to have hla remarks embodied tn
luo printed prccecdlsss. After much d!f
euaslon, which at times became rather per
sonal, Mr.- Eustls withdrew his resolution,
declaring Its purpose accomplished, as the
discussion upon lta merits would be em
bodied la the minute of tbe congress and
In thla way the public would be able to
aee that a great portion of Ua members
did not favor ao-called trusts.
' A number of Important papers were pre
sented at the morning and evening sessions,
one of the most interesting being Prof. J.
C.', Mpnaghan's address on "Water Ways
and Irrigation as an Aid to Commerce." .
The afternoon . was devoted to carriage
drives through the parks. '
Many Take a Hand.
After some preliminary routine business
today th congress took up th special
order fixed 'late ' yesterday and William
Henry Eustls of Minneapolis opened. the
discussion In support of his motion to ex
punge from the recorde of the congress the
address of P. . B, Thurber of New York,
who had declared that there was no such
thing aa a meat trust.
He charged that the so-called trust waa
seeking to use this commercial congress for
Its own ends. He did not think tbe money
of this organisation should be apent to cir
culate the specious arguments of any trust
W. H. Torbett of Dubuque followed on
the same aide, aa also did Mr. Zachary of
Louisiana.
A. C. Lewis ot Oklahoma thought tha ad
dress should be printed for the sake of
completeneaa of record, but that such pub.
Ucatlon did not commit the congreaa to the
ideas of Mr. Thurber. H rjied for cour
tesy to the speakers of the congress and in
sisted that the opinions of the congress
should be voiced through the resolutions
and . that none abould fear the addresses
here delivered. .
Ruf us A. . Hoyt of Minnesota supported
the resolution tb expunge.
Gives HI Hoaest View.
Mr. Thurber of New York replied to Mr.
Eustla, explaining that h was her aa on
Interested In the objects of this congress.
He said that he was personally Interested
in cattle raising and bis paper waa Intended
to give his honest views on the meat In
dustry. He argued for free speech. Insist
ing that the opinion of the congrea should
be expressed by the resolutions and that no
member'a opinion onght to be supprsssed.
E. R. Moses of Kansas City argued for
free speech and fre thought, asserting that
such .a proposition as that now befor th
congress bad never before been preaented
In tbe entire history ot tbe organisation.
Tom Richardson of New Orleans drew the
distinction that the speeches are part of
the proceedings of the congress, but wsre
not the opinions ot the congress.
Walter Gresbam of Texas opposed the
resolution.
Mr. Eustls .said that in the interest of
harmony and becauae thla distinction bad
exploded any harm that might have resulted
from the address In question, he would
withdraw his motion to expunge.
