TELL ABOUT MERGER Washington, Jan. 20.—The struggle by the United States senate to pet at the facts In regard to President Roose velt'» approval of the merger of the Tennessee Coal and Iron company with the steel trust entered on a new phase today when George W. Perkins, partner of J. Plerpont Morgan, and Hunker Oaklelgh Thorne of New York appeared us witnesses bcf^ire the spe cial committee of the sentit· appointed to Investigate the matter. Mr. Perkins oame from New York In answer to a subpoena and was the first witness today before the commit tee. He was questioned closely by Senator Culberson and other members of the committee as to the statement made to President Roosevelt in regard to the urgent necessity of the pur chase of the Tennessee Coal and Iron company. Mr. Perkins was present at the fa mous meeting held In the library of Mr. Morgan's residence on Nov. 4, 1907. when the agreement for the ab ■ 'q J tJEORGE W. PERKINS, sorption was arranged. He was there fore In a position to Inform the com mittee Just what persons held the slock of the Tennessee company at that time and whether the consolida tion was effected to save "a groat financial institution" in New York, as stated by the president in his message. Oakleigh Thorne. president of the Trust Company of America, also testi fied before the committee today. He had previously sent to Senator Culber son a letter giving many details of the ownership of stock of the Tennessee Coal and Iron company prior to its sale to the steel cor[K>ratlon in Novem ber last. Secretary Straus of the department of commerce and labor was asked to furnish to the committee the data con cerning the merger which was obtain ed by Commissioner Smith of the bu reau of corporations, but he replied that the flies are now In possession of President Roosevelt, to whom the re quest should be directed. The mem bers of the committee realize the utter futility of asking the president to send the Information and will depend upon witnesses from New York to supply evidence. The«e papers include a letter from the attorney general, dated Jan. 20, saying that he advised the president thai: the merger did uot constitute ο violation of 'he antitrust law and that his (the president's) course in refusing to interfere lu any way In the matter "was strictly appropriate under the law." Too Much. "Of course." said the lady with the steel bound glasses, "I expected to be called strong minded' after making » speech three hours long in favor of our ne*, but to have it misprinted into 'strung winded' was too, too much."

RUSPINI DENIESJT ALL Declares Republic's Officers to Blame for the Disas ter to Republic. CROSSED FLORIDA'S BOW Now York, Jan. 29.—^Captain Rusplnl of the Italian Lloyd liner Florida to day entered an emphatic dental of tLie rhnrgen made by the White Star line In the letter's suit for S2,000,000 dam ages for the loss of the Republic, ram med by the Florida off Nantucket. He «aid: "It was through no fault or négli gence on my part tliKt the Republic wus sunk. The Republic's officers CAPTAIN KtTSPINI. were to blame. My vessel was mov ing «lowly In thn fog and was not go ing fast» a β they say. "We were on our proper course aud did not get In tlie way of the White Star veeeel, but she crossed our bows at full speed. We had the proper lookout and gave nil the regular sig nals. As soon as we heard the He public's whistle we whistled In return, Indicating the changes of our helm. We slowed up, then stopped and back ed and Aid all we could to avoid the collision," In the libel, which has resulted in United States Marshal Henkel seizing the Florida at her pier In South Brook lyn, the White Star line states In lie half of Captain Seal by and his officers that I hey took every possible precau tion to prevent a crash, whereas the captain and officers of the Florida were wofully negligent. The value of the Republic Is placed at $1,500,000 and the cargo and effects of the pas sengers and crew at $r»0o,000. The complaint adds: The I-Morirta bore down on the Republic at high «peod. threatening to atrike the R» public u right angle blow am'dshlpfl. In the effort to escape the blow the nias 1er put the engines of the Republic ahea<f; but the Florida came on at a high rate of speed, apparently swinging under a atar hoard helnr, and crashed head on Into the port aide of the Republic, penetrating into the engine room. The collision and the damage resulting therefrom occurred without any fault or negligence on the part of the libellant or thoae in charge of the Republic, hut wert wholly due to the faults of the Florida in that she did not keep a proper course; did not keep out of the way of the Republio, whose course she was crossing; had no sufficient lookout: did not give proper whistles ·γ signals; did not give proper heed to the whistles or lights of the Re public; failed by her whistles to indicate her changes of helm; was proceeding at an immoderate rate of speed; did not stop her engines on first hearing the Repub lic's whistle; did not seasonably twice wteps to asaoid the Republic; <lld not port her helm, but Instead starboarded h*r helm, thereby thwarting all efforts of the Republic to avoid her, and in other faults Mid neglects which will be shown on the trial.

ON "ODIOUS CONSPIRACY" Washington, Jan. 29.—In response to the resolution offered by Senator Cul berson calling for all correspondence between the attorney general and oth ers relating to the alleged violation of the Sherman law by the sugar trust In connection with the failure of the Real Estate Trust Company of Phila delphia, President Roosevelt sent to the senate a special message relating to the case. The president said: In accordance with my direction the attorney general has forwarded to me tho Inclosed papers tn response to the resolu tion of the senate of Jan. 22. 1909. in ref erence to sending the senate copies of all correspondence in the department of Jus tice relating to an alleged violation of the aft of July 2, 1S30, by the American Sugar Refining company in connection with an alleged loan by that company to one Segal, in which was pledged as security therefor a majority of the capital stock of the Pennsylvania Sugar Refining com pany, with voting power thereon and un der which it is alleged an agreement was entered Into that the Pennsylvania 8ugar Reflnlngacompany should not engage In business. The correspondence includes letters between George H. Earle, Jr., receiver of the Real Estate Trust Company of Philadelphia, which failed in 1!»0G, and · the president and between Earle and ! former Attorney General Moody and between Earle and Attorney General Bona pa rte. Mr. Earle tlrst wrote President Roosevelt, calling attention to the failure of the Real Estate Trust Com pany of Philadelphia and saying: "Information before ine satisfies me beyond a doubt that the loans to Segal, aggregating $6,000, (KK), would have been largely If not entirely liquidated but for the criminal conduct of the so colled sugar trust. It Is my de liberate conclusion, ufter weighing the evidence that I have collected with the greatest care, that had it not been for a criminal conspiracy of the most odi ous character by the sugar trust this Institution, and Segal himself, would have been perfectly solvent today." The letter was a sweeping indict ment of the sugar trust, which Earle declared permeates the financial life of the country. Mr. Earle said that the American Sugnr Refineries company had become Interested in some of Segal's enter prises through the construction by Se gal of a modern independent sugar re finery. The trust gained possession of the plant through a loan to Segal to pro mote other enterprises, and lie learned too late that the refinery was not to be operated. Earlo declared that re payment of the loan was attempted by Segal, and the trust declined to re ceive the money. Mr. Earle said: "No honest lender ever declined such a proposition." The correspondence showed that President Roosevelt referred the ' whole subject to former Attorney Gen erul Moody, and later it was surren dered to Attorney General Bonaparte and that both of these officers corre sponded at great length with Mr. Earle, looking to a prosecution of the so called sugar trust. !
