GARY OPPOSED GUT
BTEEL MEN WERE URGED BY
CHAIRMAN TO DEFY REBEL-
LIOU8 FIRM.
STABILITY IS CALLED VITAL
Manufacturer Given Warning Against
Wage Reductions at Late Confer
ence of U. S. Corporation Continu
ation of Cooperation Favored.
New York. The arguments with
which Elbort H. Gary, chairman of
tho directors of the United States
Steel corporation, addressed iron and
steel manufacturers ho had here as
guests at a luncheon a week ago to
discuss the Independent action of tho
'Republic Iron and Steel company in
(reducing prices have become public.
Mr. Gary made public this text of
his speech, and threw more light upon
what took place bohlnd tho closed
doors of the dining room at the Metro
politan club, where the conference
was held.
Mr. Gary argued for continued co
operation among the steel makers and
for stability In prices, but his appa
rent wishes on the price question
were overruled by a general decision
to meet the cuts of the Republic com
pany. Mr. Gary touched upon the pos
sibility of wage reductions, tho value
of fair dealing, and frankness among
the manufacturers, and the rights and
duties of great corporations In view of
the recent Supreme court decision in
the Standard Oil case.
"I have advocated and shall always
advocate, so long as I believe I have
a right to do so," said Mr. Gary, "the
tability of prices, tho regularity of
business conduct on the part of all
that 1b calculated to recognize and ad
vance tho interests of others.
"I have urged you to remember and
I again call attention to the fact that
when you make substantial reductions
in your prices, if you reduce to a
price that is unfair and unreasonable
and you make so small a profit that
It does not yield you a fair return on
your investment and your risk, you at
least place for consideration before
every one the possible necessity of
reducing the cost of production, in
cluding prominently if not principally
tho wages which you .are- paying or
may be allowed to pay to tho man or
the men in your employ.
"Do not forget that the laboring
men the employes of the corpora
tions have more at risk when these
Questions are considered of reducing
prices below what Is reasonable and
fair than the employer. You have a
right to run the risk of being com
pelled to put their wages below what
they ought to be unless you are driven
to it, and I hope under tho present cir
cumstances, gentlemon, that whatever
may be done, or whatever may hap
pen a a result of present conditions,
you will not reduco the wages of your
employes until you feel it is an abso
lute necessity to do so."
Referring to the bombshell the Re
publlo company threw Into the steel
market by reducing prices, Mr. Gary
said:
"We are confronted with a serious
and disagreeable problem. It is not
for me to criticise men nor to pass
judgment on the motives of men.
Whether people who have changed
their minds suddenly are actuatod by
motives of cupidity or motives of
necessity is not for me to say.
"I would not expect or ask any one
to do anything he believed wrong,
legally or morally; but, on tho other
hand, gentlemen, if any one who has
been co-operating in a lawful way, not
In secret, but under conditions well
known and frequently exposed by all
of us, suddenly changes his opinion
and believes it is for his pecuniary
Interest for the time being to withdraw
from associating with us and declines
to give us any Information concerning
what he is doing or proposes to do,
leaving himself free to go to your cus
tomers and mine and get the business
for himself, regardless of prico, and
simply for the purpose of filling his
mill temporarily and securing for him
self a customer who has been your
customer or mlno, then I do not hesi
tate to say that, so far as I am con
corned, I am perfectly willing to let
him stand outside of the circle of
friendly conversation and open and
above board fair dealing and frank
ness in expression, but if I havo suf
ficient influence it shall not in the
least affect tho relations of all tho
rest of us."

OOL. JOSEPH QARRARD 18 RE
BUKED FOR HIS RACIAL
PREJUDICE.
TURNS DOWN JEW SOLDIER
President Indignant at Treatment Ac
corded to Private Who 8ought Ad
mission to Rank of Lieutenant
and Was Barred.
Washington. Col. Joseph G. Gar
rard, commander of the cavalry post
at Fort Myer, Va., was reprimanded
by President Taft because of his re
jection of the application of Private
Joseph A. Bloom for permission to
take an examination for promotion to
the commissioned ranks. Garrard
based his rejection of the application
on the ground that Bloom was the son
of a Jewish tailor and therefore not
desirable as a social and personal as
sociate. Several years ago Bloom was urged
for appointment to West Point. Pres
ident Roosevelt, not being in a posi
tion at the time to mako the appoint
ment, suggested to Bloom that he en
list and, "liko" a true American," fight
his way up from the ranks.
The young man took the advice, en
tered the army, whero he is said to
have made a good record, and recently
took his first examination for promo
tion. It is said that Bloom failed in
mis examination, but in view of the
prejudice brought about by Colonel
Garrard's indorsement, the soldier will
be ordered up for final examination
again in September.
On thlB point President Taft, in r
letter to Simon Wolf of this city, said:
"I shall take steps to see that the
examination to which Private Bloom
Is subjected Is one In which he will
be given a fair chance and not be ex
posed to any unjust prejudice."
Colonel Garrard's Indorsement on
Bloom's papers to which President
Taft so strongly objected, when
brought to his attention, was as fol
lows: "The applicant is a son of Jo
seph A. Bloom, of Jewish persuasion,
who is now, and has been for a num
ber of years, a tailor at this post
His associates, as far as I know and
that of his family, havo been with en
listed men and their families and havo
been respectable. The young man is
undoubtedly honest and upright, am
bitious and probably deserving, but
for the reasons stated I would not
desire him in my command as an offi
cer and a social and personal asso
ciate. "The presence of the applicant's
family at a military post would be
subverse of discipline and their
probable treatment a source of morti
fication to them and frequent cause of
trouble to commanding officers. From
an experience of many years I have
found, except in few cases, few com
munities where Jews are received as
desirable social associates."
In directing the secretary of war
to Inquire Into the matter, President
Taft wrote in part:
"It is difficult for me to read the
indorsement of Colonel Garrard, set
forth in this letter, with patience and
without condemnatory words that had
better not be written. The statements
made by Colonel Garrard aro not true
with referonce to the standing that
Jews have in this country; and I re
sent, as commander-in-chief of tho
army and the navy, that any officer
of either should permit himself in an
official document to givo evidence of
such unfounded and narrow race
prejudice as that cc 'tained In this
indorsement."

TAFT REFUSES RECORD OF PAY
MENT FOR PORTRAIT.
Executive la Inclined to Acoept Pao
Roosevelt Passed on Deal
as Final.
Washington. A livoly controversy
over tho oxecutlvo's right to withhold
confidential papers from a congres
sional investigating committee was
precipitated by a flat refusal of Sec
retary of Stato Knox, on the instruc
tion of President Taft, to lay before
the house committee on expenditures
in the state department books show
ing tho record of tho payment for the
portrait of ex-Secretary of Stato Day.
The commlttoe is seeking to dis
cover what became of $1,600 of the
$2,460 voucher drawn for tho payment
of tho portrait. Artist Rosenthal re
ceived only $850 for his work and
the $1,600 Is unaccounted for
Tho president held that $2,450 was
paid out of tho emergency fund for
unforeseen emergencies In the diplo
matic nnd consular service and for ex
tending diplomatic Intercourse with
foreign nations, which congress had
provided need not bo accounted tor
if tho president certifies that an item
should bo paid from this fund. Presi
dent Roosevelt had made such certi
fication. Furthermore, Secretary Knox ox
plained to the committee that it waa
improper to produce tho books be
cause thereby other undisclosed items
of expenditure would be revealed.
President Taft in bis lotter to Sec
retary Knox said that, In view of the
facta and that tho omergency fund ex
penditure for this period have under
tho express authority of oongress been
certified by Secretory Hay "for my
predecessor, President Roosevelt, as
being of such a character as ought not
to be made public, I feol that nothing
but some extraordinary circumstances
would Justify me in directing you to
take such records before tho commit
too, bocauso tho discretion thus exor
cised under the statuto Bhould, In my
judgment, in general bo conclusive
and binding upon this point,"
The president added that whon Beo
retary Knox concluded his investiga
tion of the particular expenditure and
submit the matter to him he (the
president) would determlno whether
the money was lawfully "or dishonest
ly and Improperly misappropriated."

THE B 1 1 DISASTER
STORY TOLD BY ONE WHO WAS
IN THE WRHOK.
VICTIMS COOKED BY STEAM
Some Who Were Probably Not Badly
Wounded Lost Their Lives In
Thla Manner.
O. H. Anderson, a mall clerk of this
city, who was working ea No. 12 the
morning of the wreck with No. 6 at
Indlunola, has been brought to his
home, whore he Is confined by severe
spinal Injuries. In telling of tho cas
ualty, Mr. Anderson said:
"We loft McCook almost on time,'
said Mr. Anderson. "We stopped for
a cream can at Red Willow, whero
we should havt sldotrackod for No. 9.
Conductor Rank had no orders to that
effect and so wo went est. Wo round
ed the curve Just this side of Red
Willow and then tho crash camu.
There was no warning at all.
"I don't know how I got out of the
car. The first thing I know Is that I
was out by tho fence, but I must have
climbed out of tho car, for I was
not thrown out. My back was hurt,
but In tho hurry and excitement I did
not notice it much. I found my part
nor, R. D. Voorhoos, almost unharm
ed. He had been lying on a table
against the side of the car, In tho
safest position that he could have
picked.
"Wo went back to the smoker of
No. 9. There had boon six passen
gore thoro; only ono got out. He was
thrown through a hole In tho roof and
was found out by tho fence, crany
from the kIiih-U. I think he was Rob
ert Andorson, but I am not sure. All
the otherB died. Tho car was a mass
of splinters. I don't bollevo there was
a single stick of timber ovor two feet
long in the whole pile.
But tho chair car of No. 9 was tho
worst. It lay on its Bide, not badly
smashed, but with overy window clos
ed and the doors shut. Inside tho
steam pipes had broken and tho
steam was filling the Interior liko a
boiler. Apparently the engine had
been running on full steam, for the
pressure must havo boon way up.
Th steam Just poured from tho brok
en pipes into that closed car and the
people Inside had no way to got out.
"Sevoral of those wo took out were
still conscious. A number of thorn
dictated statements to us to be given
to rolativos. Ono man, It was either
HUsabock or Shophord, of Holdroge,
died while ho was in tho middle of n
statement to his wifo. But nono of
us realized tho horror of It so much
then, for wo all had so much to do."

CURTIS THE WINNER.
Is Made Seat of Now Agricultural
Sohsol.
Curtis In Frontier county will bo
the seat of tho new agricultural
school for which tho recent legisla
ture made an appropriation of
$100,000.
Tho State Board of Publlo Lands
and Buildings, after balloting thirty
threo times, made the selection. The
members woro very badly divided and
no town received more than two
votes at any time until the choice
fell upon Curtis.
Tho now school was provided for
in the Eastman bill, which appropri
ated $100,000 for an agricultural
school of socondary or popular In
struction, to be located In southwest
ern Nobrnska, north of tho fourth
standard parallel and east of the
nlnety-ulnth meridian.
The school will be built tinder tho
supervision of tho board of regents,
tho selecting board having nothing to
do with Its control. The bill provides
for the construction of a school build
ing and it is llkoly that matters will
bo gotten undor way at once,
Curtis wns the last entry Into the
race for tho now school. When the
bill wbb being pushed In tho legisla

tioned as the site, but other towns

site to offor, but on the recent trip
of tho stato board to look at avallablo
places, tho members wero assured
that tho ptck of tho land In tho vi
cinity of the town would bo at their
comirnnd.
Tho choice was mado on tho the
ory that Curtis, which is on tho Ster-llng-Holdrcdgo
branch of tho Burling
ton road, Is located as nearly between
different types of farm country as it
Is possible to find any town.
