They said they were fully convinced this company would fail, !f the Tennessee transaction was not com pleted. They said they were willing and anxious to take over the property because they felt It waa the only way to save the situation that It would put the power of the ateel corporation behind the com panies on the firing line and Jn a posi tion to prevent disaster."

NEW YORK, Ausr. 5. The text of Colonel Roosevelt's statement today before tho congressional commission investigating the steel corporation is as follows: "In the fall of 1W7, there were severe business disturbances and financial strin gency culminating in a panic, which arose In New Tork and spread over tho country; The damage actually done was treat and damage threatened was, Incalculable. Thanks largely to the action of tho govern ment, tho janlc wag stopped before, In stead of being merely a serious business check, it became a frightful and nation wide calamity, a disaster fraught with un told misery and woe to all our people. For several days the nation trembled on the brink of such a calamity, of such a disaster, as you gentlemen, doubtless remember. ' "During these days, both the secretary of the treasury and I personally were in hourly communication with New York, fol lowing every change In the situation and trying to anticipate every development. It was the obvious duty of the administration to take every step possible to prevent an appalling disaster by checking the spread of the panic before It grew so that nothing could check It, and events moved with such speed that It was neces sary to decide and to act on the instant as each successive crisis arose. The secre tary of the treasury took vigorous action, some of his own inltative some on my di rection. Late one evening, I was Informed that two representatives of the steel cor poration wished to see me early the fol lowing morning, the precise object not being named. Next morning while at breakfast I was informed that Messrs. Frick and Gary were waiting at the office. I at once went over and as the attorney general, Mr. Bonaparte, had not yet ar rived from Baltimore, where he had been passing the night, I sent a message ask ing the secretary of state, Mr. Root, to join us, which he did. Before the close of the Interview, and In the presence of the three gentlemen named, : dictated a note to Mr. Bonaparte setting forth exactly what Messrs. Frick and Gary bad proposed and exactly what I had answered so that there might be no possibility of misunder standing. . This note was published In a senate document, while I was still president and ts already spread on the minutes of your committee. Mote to Bonaparte. "It runs as follows: WASHINGTON. Nov. 4. Ifl07.-My Dear Mr. Attorney General: Judge E. H. Gary and Mr. H. C. Frick, on behalf of the steel corporation, have Just calle en me. They state that there Is a certain busi ness firm (the name of which I have not been told, but which Is of real Im portance In New Tork bulness circles), which will undoubtedly fail this week, If help Is not given. Among Its assets are a majority of the securities of the Ten nessee Coal company. Application has been urgently made to the steel corpora tion to purchase the stock as the only means of avoiding a failure. Judge Gary and Mr. Frick informed me that as a mere business transaction they do not care to purchase the stock; that under ordinary circumstances, they would not consider purchasing the stock, because but little benefit will come to the steel corporation from the purchase; that they are aware that the purchase will be used as a handle for attack upon them on the ground that they are striving to secure a monopoly of the business and prevent competition not that this would represent what could honestly be said, but what might reck lessly and untruthfully be said. They further Informed me that aa a mat ter of fact the policy of the company has been to decline to acquire more than 60 per cent of the steel properties and that this Dumose has been persevered In f-jr several years post, with the object of pre venting the accusations, ana. as a matter of fact, their proportion of steel properties has slightly decreased, so that It Is below thla at ner eant. and the acaulsttlon of the property in question will not raise it above 60 per cent But they feel that It Is Im mensely to their Interest aa to the Interest of every responsible business man to try to prevent a panic ana general moumruu smahup at this time and that they are willing to go in this transaction, which they would not otherwise go into, because It seems the opinion of those beet fitted to express Judgment that It may be an Important factor In preventing a break that might be ruinous; that this has been urged on them by the combination of the most responsible bankers In New York, who are now thus engaged In endeavoring to save the situation. But they asserted they did not wish to do this If I stated that It ought not to be done. I answered that while of course could not advise them to take the action proposed. I felt It no publlo duty of mine to Interpose any objections. "0OOBEVEXT. DENEEN DOES NOT APPEAR Governs of Illinois by Injnry Kept frees Keeptnsr Speaking- Date Date at Lincoln. Bigger. Belter.

Though the railway commission has been In exsistence since January 1, 1108, the Im portance of that department to the state Is Just beginning to be felt, and though the physical valuation department of ths State Railway commission baa been In exsistencs a shorter time there are many of the citi sens out over Nebraska, who still fail to see therein value received for money spent by the state to maintain that branch of the commission. Some of the Things, which are now con fronting the commission and some of ths things it hopes to see through, to the end that the people of the state may be much benefited thereby, are denoted In a pros pectus, which was today given out by the commission. .This says In part: The values in detail, as reported by the engineering deptrtincnt of the railway commission of all the railroads in Ne braska, have been In the hands of the commission for several months, during which time a careful and exhaustive study has been made by the commissioners of tiicse reports, and the elements, which go to nuke up the values of the physical properties of the several railroad. Ths tlnal hearing and the adoption of these valuations v. Ill be taken up by the com mission on September S. The magnitude of this undertaking may be appreciated, when it is considered that there are seventeen independent carriers of freight and passengers within Nebrtska, with property aggregating In value of more than tM),m. Railroads Are Objecting. The importance of this work may, In a measure, be realized, when It la remem bered that the railroads recently appeared before the state board of assensment, and insisted upon a much lower valuulion be ing p.aced upon their proerty for the purpose of taxation than they were willing to have adopted by the railway commission ss a banis of rate-making, liefore the state bouid of assessment, the railroads as serted, for Instance, that their right-of-way should he assessed no higher than abutting property, but in the determina tion of the value of this branch of their property, before the railway commission, they are asking that for the purpose of assessing rates, they be given a valuation of three times the fair market value of adjoining lands. The commission Is Just now entering upon the work of valuing the property of street railways, express companies, telephone and telegraph companies snd sleeping car companies. When this work Is completed it will be one of the leading factors in determining the reasonableness of rates of common carriers, ss well as being of in estimable value as a basis of assessment and taxation. .ew Freight Classification. The commission is also oreoarlng a new classification covering freight shipments In Nebraska, Instead of permitting the rail roads to make their current classification tariffs applicable to Nebraska territory. The conditions with reference to the move ment of freight In Nebraska are so widely different from those obtaining east of the Missouri river, where the western classification applies, particularly in the matter of minima, that it would be a hard ship upon the shippers of this state to adopt the western classification on the sole ground of uniformity. Carload freight from manufacturers Into the lobbing points along the Missouri river should and ought to move under a much greater minimum weight than Is made aDollcable to the territory served by the Jobbing or dis tributing centers. The commission heretofore adopted class ification No. 44 to applv to Nebraska ter ritory, while the railroads are urging class ification No. 50 as a proper basis for as eesslng freight charges in this state. No. o0. as compared with No. 44. contains at least ten advances where there Is one re duction and out of a total of 1.900 minimum carload weights classification No. 60 con tains an Increase over No. 44 on 800 Items. . Complaint on Conl Rates. Following a conference with the retail coal dealers of southwestern Nebraska, recently held In Hastings, a complaint has been filed before the Interstate Commerce commission asking for a reduction of rates on coal from the Colorado fields Into the South Platte territory west of Aurora and Superior, served by the Burlington railroad, to meet a reduction heretofore secured affecting the territory west of Grand Ib land on the Union Pacific. The rates now In force, in the opinion of the commission, should be reduced from 2o to 50 cents per '"til. riuestlon of shortace In weights of coal entering Nebraska in carload lots Is receiving the careful attention of the com mission. Two-Cent Fare Uw. The 2-cent passenger fare law and the cases Involving" the validity of the reduc tions in freight and express rates In Ne braska are pending In the federal court. A vast amount of data showing the earn ings and operating expenses of the car riers aa well as other factors which must ultimately determine the reasonableness of these rates, Is being prepared and pre sented. In the hope that the legislative enactments brlngins about these reductions will be finally upheld. DES MOINES CAR .

Diamond Values and Diamond Buying It is oxlreiiifly difficult to tench the public thnt diamond-: lire increasing in value every year, and thnt during the nst ten years they have gone up lf0 ier rent. Many look upon these stones as entirely for display. These are the people who do not know that diamonds are growing moro expensive all the while. But tbat class which reallrea diamonds are becoming more costly buys them all the time. There are some m?n who have ten stones. They do not wear them; they hold them as an Investment and they are ono of the best forms of Investment there ta In the Kdholm store there are diamonds which, If they were hourht from Importers at this time, would have to bo priced ten and fifteen per cent higher than the flgurea minted here now. For ex.imnle. there la one krryY fine 'nlte stone on which the price here la Vll e u $15. If this stone-were bought from an lm- I'ut hi iwiftj, lur -juiiuuij jniio nuuiu un,r- ivj be made $200. This Instance shows that dia monds are Increasing In value and that they are an excellent form of Investment. Nenrly everybody thinks, at one time or another, of buying a diamond. Klght now there are some young men who expect to purchase nn engagement ring next winter or spring. Today they can buy stones for sev eral per cent less than they will have to pay If they wait a few months. To this class this talk Is especially directed. It is just a warning not to wait.
