STOPPED PANIC, HE DECLARES
Asserts His Approval of Tennessee
Iron Merger by Trust Averted Dis
asterTells of Gary-Frlck
Conference.
New York. Col. Thcodoro Ilooso
relt took the witness stand In the
congressional inquiry into the United
States Steel corporation to toll what
ho knew regarding the absorption of
tho Tennessee Coal and Iron company
by the Steel corporation during tho
panic of 1007.
Mr. Roosevelt's intention to appear
had been kept secret, but a few mo
monts bofore his arrival police offi
cers wore stationed In tho aldormanlc
chamber and at Its approaches.
"Mr. Chairman, I wrotoout tho
statement I should llko to mako," said
tho former president, after Mr. Stan
ley had asked him to explain what
knowledge he had of the Tennessee
Coal and Iron absorption by the
United States Stoel corporation. "X
would llko to read tho stateniont."
"You may read It," said tho chair
man, "certainly. Just as you choose."
Mr. Itoosevolt then began reading,
introducing his subject with a de
scription of tho financial panic condi
tions in tho fall of 1907.
"It was tho utmost duty of tho ad
ministration," ho read, "to prevent by
all means tho spread of tho panic
before it became a disaster."
The secretary of tho treasury and
he, Mr. Roosevelt said, wero constant
ly in touch with tho situation. Dur
ing that timo ho learned that two
members of the United States Steel
corporation wished to seo'hlm in tho
morning. At breakfast tho next day
ho was informed that E. H. Gary and
H. C. Frick wero waiting to boo him.
Mr. Bonaparte, then attorney general,
he continued, had not yet arrived from
Baltimore.
"I sent a note to Secretary Root to
come over," tho former president
read, "and ho arrived at tho White
House."
Tho conferenco was brief, Mr.
Roosevelt explained, and lalr he
wrote a note to Mr. Bonaparte stating
all tho facts of the conferenco.
Mr. Roosevelt went on, going into
details abput the serious financial
condiJjpnJnp.Now York, and told how
ho had taken the responsibility to
permit tho transfer of tho stool
company, and did it on his own initia
tive. "It was necessary ror me to act at
onco," said tho formor president, "be
fore tho stock exchange oponod, or
tho transaction might prove usoloss."
Ho said ho was convinced that ac
quirement by tho steel corporation of
tho Tennessee Coal and Iron company
did not chango tho legal status of tho
corporation.
"Furthermore, I believed it would
be for the public good," continued Mr.
Roosevelt. "I answered Messrs. Gary
andFrickthatlf matters were In such
a tato I did not want to stand In tho
way, and tho results proved that tho
act was a good one, because tho pan
ic was stopped.
"If I had not acted at onco In that
extraordinary crisis I should havo
been a moro tltlo, and would havo
proved an unworthy public officer, If
I had not dono as I did. Every stop
1 took was as open as tao day."
Then Mr. Roosevelt launched into a
gwneral discussion with Chairman
Stanley of tho general trust question,
saying that tho United States had
something to learn from Germany.
Colouol Roosevelt, on finishing his
testimony received tho thanks of
tho commltteo and expressed his sat
isfaction that as "a plain Amorlcan
citizen" he had been r.blo to aBslstthe
committee.

HURRAH FOR
TAFT ISSUES PLEA
PRESIDENT ASKS SUPPORT OF
PEOPLE IN BEHALF OF ARBI-
TRATION PACTS.
METHODISTS HEAR APPEAL
Wants Moral Influence of Nation
Used on Sonators to Ratify Peace
Conventions With France, England,
Nicaragua and Honduras.
Mountain Lako Park, Md. Presi
dent Taft traveled 400 miles through
Maryland and West Virginia by spe
cial train to appeal to the pcoplo of
tho United States .to use their moral
lnfluerfco to have tho senato ratify
the British and French arbitration
treaties.
His appeal was mado direct to tho
Mountain Lake Park Chautauqua of
tho Methodist Episcopal church, but
In It tho president included tho rest
of tho nation as well.
"I observe," said the president, "that
there Is somo suggestion that by rati
fying this treaty, tho senato mny In
somo way abdicate Its function of
treaty making. I confess myself to
being uuablo to percolvo tho logic In
any such a point.
"To havo these treaties not ratified
by tho senato of the United States or
to havo any hesitation and discussion
of a serious character In respect to
them would halt the movement toward
general pcaco', which has mado sub
stantial advance In the last ton years.
To secure tho ratification of tho treat
ies therefore, appeal must bo mado to
tho moral senso of tho nation and
whilo that Ib not, entirely In tho keep
ing of tho churches, certainly they
may exert a poworful Influence In tho
promotion of any effective Instru
mentality to secure permanent peace."
Leaving tho nibltratlon treaties be
hind, tho president asked for tho same
sort of popular support of tho treaties
with Honduras and Nicaragua.
"There is no Issuo before tho sonato
so ncuto In respect to the cause of
peace as tho confirmation of these
Central Amorlcan treaties," said tho
presldont. "Whilo I admit tho greater
Importance of universal treaties of ar
bitration, in the long run nnd as affect
ing tho world nt large, yet In respect
of American Interests, In respoct of
peace in this hemisphere, they are
not equal in Importance to tho con
firmation of these Central American
treaties."
in making his plea for tho Central
American conventions, tho president
highly praised former President
Roosevelt. Ho spoko of tho tendency
of tho United Stated to extend their
helping hand to less powerful people,
and Instanced Mr. Roosovelt's inter
vention In Cuba.

Inquiry shall Investigate tho dlsputo
with a view of recommending a settle
ment without arbitration.
Tho commission, nt request of olthor
