WHITE ON WITNESS STAND
Says AH Lorlmer Democrats and
Some Republicans Were Bribed.
To bis story of being bribed to vote
for Iorlmer, Charles A. White, former
member of the Illinois legislature,
Added for the benefit of the senate
Lorlmer investigation committee that
he believed every one of the fifty
three democrats who voted for jor
imer did so for a mouey considera
tion. He added that he thought some
of the Republicans who voted for Lor
lmer got money for so doing.
White declined to mention the
names of any Republicans he sus
pected "because it is just a matter of
opinion and I do not want to do an
injustice to anyone." He aald he
based his opinion about wholesale
corruption on the fact that he was
bribed and that others had confessed
to the sama thing.

ROOSEfEirOrTsTEEL CASE
Former President Tells of His Part in
Big Merger.
Theodore Roosevelt stalked boldly

committee of inquiry Into the L'nited
States Steel corporation in New York
and voluntarily told how his action In
consenting to the absorption of the
Tennessee Coal and Iron company by
the steel corporation In 19U7 averted
a disastrous panic.
The former chief executive's action
In submitting to a congressional re
view of acts of his own administration
was almost unprecedented in the his
tory of the United States and was
thoroughly Rooseveltlan. First and
foremost he placed upon hlmsolf re
eponslbllty for approving the absorp
tion to save a perilous financial disas
ter in Wall street and condemned any
man who would be so weak as not to
act as he did In that crisis. Not to
have done as he did, he said, would
have been criminal.
