WHY MOTTO CAME OFF COINS
President Booseyelt Explains Removal
of "In God We Trost.'"
NO WARRANT FOR IT IN THE LAW
tie Believes the Sentiment h
Re riaeed Where It Will
Be ReKarded with
ReTerence.
W A.S HI N OTON. I. v., Nov. 13. In an
swer to one of the numerous protests
which have been ' received at the White
House against the new gold coin which
have b.n coined without the words "In
God We Trust," President Roosevelt has
written a letter which ho today made
luhllc. The letter folio:
"Winn the question of tho now coin
age came up we looked Into the law and
found there waa no warrant therein Vor
putting "In Clod We Trust" on the coins.
As the custom, although Without legal
warrant, bad grown up. however, I might
I have felt at liberty to keep the inscrip
tion bad I approved of Its being on the
coinage. Hut a I did not approve of tt,
I did not direct that It alioiilcl aain be
put on. Of course the matter of the luw
la absolutely In the hands of congress
and any direction of i-ntigresa In the
matter will be Immediately obeyed. At
preen, as I have said, there Is no var
ranfln law for th" Inscription.
"My own feeling In. the mattur is due
tj my very firm conviction that to put
rurh a motto on coins, or to use it In
any kindred manner, not only does no
good, but does positive, barm, nnd Is In
effect Irreverence, which comes l.uifier
ously close to sacrilege. A beuntiful und
solemn sentence such as th mis In inges
tion hould be treated and uttered nly
with thnt fine reverence which necessarily
Implie s a certain exaltation of spirit. Any
use which tend to cheapen It, nnd above
all, any use ,vhirh tends to secure Its be
ing Irenteet In a sjdrlt of levity, is from
every tamlpolnt profoundly to be re
gretted. It Is a motto which It Is In-
idie-d v.ell to have inscribed on our groat
national monument. In our temples ot
Justice. In our legislative balls. In build
ings siie h as those nt West Point and
Annapolis in short, wherever it will tend
to arouse and inspire u lofty emotion in
theis, who look thereon."
I nwlae to Cheapen Motto.
"Hut It iwmi to me eminently unwise to
-''-P-n ""ch o motto by uao on colna. Just
U! 11 woull to cheapen It by ufl on
us It would be
postage stumps.
"' "l",Mi"' ,,r aavernsenicnis.
''Sards Its use on tho coinage we have
actual experience by which to go. In al'
my life I have uewr heard any human
being speak reverently of this motto on
tin; coins or show any signs' of its having
appealed to any high e;motloti In him, but 1
have literally hundreds of times heard It
used as an occasion of, and incitement lo
th- sneering ridicule, which it Is above all
thing undesirable that so Ieaut1ful and
exalted a phrase; should excite. For ex-
throughout tho long contest extend-
" u.. ...r i. cru.u-
ltion the existence of till, motto on
? petantly aource of Jest
nd rldlou,e5 .. and this -was unavoidable.
" re-memtsT the Innun-rable
eartoona and articles based on phrases like
" We Trust for Eight ' Cents;'
'In God We. Trust tor the Short Weight;'
' ents u e Do Not Pay,' and so forth, and
so forth. Barely I am well within bounds
when I say that a use of the phrase, which
lnv't''!' constant levity of tbt typo Is most
undesirable. If congress alters the luw
and directs mo to replace on the coins the
sentence in question, tho direction will bt
immediately put Into effect; but I very
earnestly trust that tho religious sentiment
ejf the country, the spirit of reverence in
the country, will prevent any such action
being taken. (Signed.

PARIS. Nov. 13. The French government
Is greatly plead .t the reported derision
of Secretary Taft to slop ln Paris enroute
from the far east, and is anxious to honor
the American statesman. A dinner given
by President Fallterea doubtless will form
part ot the program, but everything will
depend on the lenglh of the secretary's
stay. Beyond the fact that he Is expected
to arrive December 12. nothing definite Is
known, and even that date may now be
changed by mlilif Ication of Mr. Taft'e
Itinerary after leaving Rt. Petersburg.
In view of Kmperor William', de-clslou
to remain some tlmo In England, efter his
official visit to King Edward and his con
sequent absence from Merlin while Mr.
Taft will be there, the emperor has now
graciously Invited Mr. and Mrs. Taft to

which was extended thixmgh Charlemangne

Mr. TaU upon hi. arrival at Vladivostok

necessarily will involve a rearrangement

criminal court No. 1 at 10 o'clock toduy.
The case had been postponed from last
Monday, on account of the death of Justice

District of Columbia.
She was again today the object of gen
eral attention. Aa on Monday, the court

present were the twenty-six Jurymen be
longing to th regular panel and soon after
the beginning ot th session the court be
beg?n the selection of the twelve men be
fore whom the fact, will be presnted.
Mrs. Br.dley promptly followed Judge.
Stafford into the court room and, taking
her seat Just back of her counsel, faced
the court squarely. Tha proceedings began
with the admission of Judge O. W. Powers
of Salt Iaike City as a member of the bar
of the District of Columbia. The cere
mony was followed by a brief statement
by Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Turner
concerning the crime charged. He merely
said thst the charge was that of murder
in the first degree ln shooting "one Arthur
Brown" at the Rulelgh hotel in this city
on the Kth of last December, who lingered
until the 13th of that month, when be

rassed the defendant. She placed her
gloved hand to her face and her head
shook perceptibly. She was apparently
much relieved when Mr. Turner concluded
and the court turned to the duty uf se
lecting a Jury.

the iiuestion of compelling Hnrrlman to
icsllfy until 1 ecemler 1.
NEW YORK, Nov. IS. Arguments on th
Inti rslatc Commerco commission s motion
to compel E. H. Harriman to answer cer
tain questions put lo him during tlm com
mission's Investigation of railroad affairs
were begun before Judge Hough In the
United Slates court today.
Judgo Hough said he would allow eacU
side three nnd one-half bouts to ' present
i case.
United States District Attorney Stlmsoit
opened for the Interstate Commerco com
mission. He said thnt tliu commission, be
fore starting the investigation during which.
Mr. Harriman wa naked the questions
which he has declined to answer, had
stated tho object of the Invust Igatlon. Thl
object, Mr. Silmson suld, was to Inquire
into various .combinations and consolida
tions of und alleged violations of the law
by certain railroads engaged tn Interstate
commerce.
Mln.son on Hnrrlman.
Mr. Stimson pointed out that the Culoa
Pacific controlled tho line of road from
Omaha to Portland and the Southern Pa
cific company, a line of road from New
Orleans to Portland. He said Mr. Harri
man had autocratic power over the Union
Pacific, Southern ruelflo and Oregon lines;
that ha was, In fact, the Union Pacific
system. Mr. Stlm.mn outlined the rise of
tho Harriman system and said that among
stocks bought war. Alton, Illinois Central,
Atchison. Baltimore ft Ohio. 8U Paul' and
others. Tho Union Puclflc Invested nearly
.lbo.ooo.ooo In this way, ho .aid, and M.
Harriman took the entire responsibility.
Mr. Stimson referred to purchase, of th.
varloua stocks by Union Pacific and the
refusal of Mr. Harriman to give answers
to certain question. He said all of these
questions were merely to ascertain If any
stock wa. bought for Union Pad do from
Ita offlora or'Olroctors. ' ' -i
' The position of the commission, said ttin
district attorney fk that It I. a standing
committee of congress vested With Inquisi
torial powers.
Mr. Stimson then el lee numerous case
to show that the Interstate Commerce com
mission had power to demand the fact,
.ought.
Wa te of Asset In ituestlon.
Mr. Stimson said tho constitutionality of
a atatute was not under consideration.
Said he:
"They are trying to cut congress off from
Inquiring Into facta upon which legislation
may bo based."
He contended that tlm commission bad
the same right to Inquire Into alt the finan
cial transactions of an Interstate railroad
as to require the use of safety appliances
on the roads.
What iho commission Is endeavoring to
learn from the questions addressed to Mr.
Harriman Is, said Mr. Stimson, whether
the enormous stock Investment m.d. Willi
Union Paciflo funds amounted to a wast,
of the. assets and Impairment of the facili
ties of an Interstate common carrier, and
whether the matter of such Investments
would be tuude subject to the regulation of
congress. '
Mr. 6tlmson quoted from a statement by
Robert Mather of the Rock Island that
railroad director, who purchase! stock
from themselves were largely responsible
for the wave of distrust which has swept
the country. Said he:
.No Privilege of Private Ba.laeaa.
"Kve-n If the Union Puclflc stock trans
actions should be conceded to be private
lousiness, no man has a right to withhold
Information pertinent to the matter al
issue by claiming a privilege ot private
business. There Is no such privilege."
Mr. Stimson added that even It th. in
formation tended to Incriminate a wlti.sss,
It could not bo withheld. Immunity from
pius.HUtlon being automatically extended
In audi cases.
Mr. Stimson rnvlewod the various pur
chase of the stock ot other railroad, by
the I'nlun I'.clllo and suld:
"Nearly $16.iiOO,0uU was spent in th.a.
transactions, not counting what previously
had been put Into Southern Pacific. And
Mr. Harrtnian assumes responsibility for It
all. Tim ree-ords show hla motive, and pur
poses. No words could uiore clearly Indi
cate stock Jobbing than bis replies at th.
Investigation by the commission."
Mr. Hthnson concluded by submitting a
copy of the speech mad by Secretary nf
War Tail at Columbus, O., ln which Inter
state commerce and railroad regulation wa.
dlscuased.
JUIIIbura taw llarrtmaa.
John G. Mllburti opened the argument la
be-half of Mr. Harriman. U. declared h
would not take issue w ith President Mather
or with the distinguished secretary .of war.
Their pronouncements were Interesting, he
said, but he could not see what in th
world they had to do with th matter at
Iss ue before the court.
"And I want to say also," continued Mr.
Mllburn. "that I find myself In about all
the trouble I ear to confront when I at
tempt to try n.y css s under th law as It
exist without delving into the- realms of
laws that might be. The sole ijusattoo be
fore your honor 1 whelhtr or hot th
power to make tno inquiry involved ts
vested In . subordinate, an Inferior body
Ilk th Interstate Commerce commission,
whose power Is purely . delegated one. I
will never concede to the proposition that
the commission Is tho equal of congraaa."
Mr. Mllburn asserted that tha Union Pa
cific had the legal rlgnt to purchase stock
In other railroad; It had th Irgal right
to buy Illlnola Ccntial stock from Mr
Harriman and Mr. Harriman bad th. legal
right to sell it. The transaction Waa
authorised by th executive commttt,
adopted by the board of director and rati
