It was conceded the vote would " "be overwhelmingly for a strike. This does not mean a' walk out will follow,, however. The unions hope to force arbitration under tne Erdman act, as was the case in the firemen's demands. To this proposal the roads violent ly object, and it is hot known what middle ground can be reached un less Congress promptly amends the Erdman law, increasing the board toj six members. Both sides have en dorsed such a bill as superior to the present board of three which places heavy responsibility on the shoulders of the third, or neutral, member.

ROMANCE INVADES RELIGIOUS RANKS Salvation Army Quarters Lose One Of The Most Valued Workers Here Romance has Invaded the ranks of the local " SaJyation Army and the members of the . army here are dis cussing little else this week. On June 25, Mr. William C. Kitson, engaged with the local contracting firm of Blythe and Isenhour, present ed himself before Justice J, Wr Cobb with a marriage certificate, he being accompanied by Miss Florence Young, sister -of Capt. . Herbert D. Young . of the local branch of the army, and the Justice was called upon to preside at the marriage ceremony which he did. ' The " romance In which the young couple played an important part be gan in the City of Jacksonville, Fla., some years ago. At that time Mr. Kitson was in the army himself and Miss Young was also stationed at that point with her brother. Captain Young. The meeting between ' the young people occurred in the Florida city, but . later on a separation took place when" Miss - Young moved to Charlotte. Mr. Kitson later came to" this city and enteed the employment of the contracting firm above named. The friendship between the two was renewed and on June 25 they were quietly married. The purpose of the two,, it is understood, was to keep the marriage a secret until later on, but their effort proved fruitless and On SundaV last It was learned by the lo cal corps of the Salvation Army that the marriage - had taken place, and congratulations were soon forthcom ing to the young people. Mr. 'and Mrs. Kitson will likely make their home permanently in this city. - . ..' .

" '"' . Leuterbach had testified yesterday that his information about Senator Stone 'and Speaker Clarq had come from Lamar. & Under a sharp fire of questions La mar Insisted his only object had been to "force Ledyard into the open" and bring about "just such a situation as this" investigation." "I am the one villain In. Wall Street," said Lamar bitterly. "All the rest are actuated hy the highest mo tives and possess the highest ideals." Lamar said the whole thing framed up by himself was "a major Wall street operation traveling on parallel lines." : ' S ' ' ' "' ' Senator Reed tried for half an hour to blng Lamar to an explicit state ment of the purposes of his opera tions.. Lamar insisted he was after Ledy ard Cravath. Evarts. Lovett and "the Morgan Steel Hrust, Union Paciftc. and other interests; that he wanted to force - ftem to an open attack. Failed to Produce Explosions. MIt was a favorite method of mine, producing an explosion when I want ed one," he added.

The wit ness i testified also of Impersonating Chairman MeCombs of the x Democrat ic National Committee and Chairman Hilles of the ' Republican National Committee. Senator Cummins wanted to know if Lauterbach asked for 'an explanation of any of Lamar's plans which In volved, his (Lauterbach's) honor. "The question of honor was.not con sidered. It was entirely a Well Street operation," returned Lamar. The committee tried to bring out whether Lamar had any stock in the Steel corporation .about the time the investigation was Introduced! or held any Union Pacific or Southern Paclflo reecntly or now. Lamar denied hav ing, any. The committee recessed until later today.' Lamar is Irnmtone. There is no Federal law under which. David Lamar could be prose cuted for impersonating Congressmen over the teelphone, according to the view of officials of the Department of Justice after an examination of the statutes. It 'developed today that Attorney General MteReynolds directed an In formal examination of the case to -determine whether any existing law covered the situation disclosed in the testimony of Lamar before the lobby committee in which he admitted the impersonation .of public men. It" was the .belief of ? the government lawyers that the statute -forbidding- the impersonation of government 'officers did ; hot reach the case because that law embraced only cases where inter est to' defraud ; could be shown.
