WASHINGTON, June 13. Chairman

"In the domestic trade," said Mr.

at least thirty which have been, or are
being used, to control competition be

"In tho trade with foreign ports, tho

Judge Gary Defends,
Tennessee Coal and
Iron Company Deal
NEW YORK, June 13. "If the United
States Steel corporation paid $35,000,000 for
tne Tennessee Coal and Iron company
and $14,000,000 more to put It on Its feet,
not because It wanted tHe property, but
In order to fcave tho firm of Moore &
Schley and other banking concerns hold
ing Tennessee Coal and Iron stock from
ruin In the panic of 1907, would It not haVe
been better for the corporation to lpan
Moore & Schley JIO.000,000' or 115,000.000, or
give It to them outright?" This In sub
stance was the question Jacob M. Dick
inson, attorney for tho government In the
dissolution suit against tho' corporation
askel its chairman, Judgo Elbert H.
Gary, today.
Judge Gary had testified on direct ex
amination that he did not believe at the
time the company was acquired that Its
stock was worth more than $50 a share,
and that the money spent In Its acquisi
tion and rehabilitation could have brought
far greater profits if put into other
plants. The government maintains that
the corporation took advantage of the
panicky conditions of 1907 to acquire the
company to suppress a competitor.
'I will say 'no,' " was Judge Gary's
answer. "We In the finance commltteo
had to give an account to. the 'stock
holders, and even to relieve such a situa
tion I doubt if the stockholders would
have required such action. We had to do
business so as to work out of that thing
and get a return on the investment And
I believe we did the best .and, most pru
dent thing under the circumstances."

DISCUSSES FINANCIAL PHASE
Countries of Earth "Should Be Like
Gentlemen," He Says.
OUTLINES RULES FOR FIGHTING
Speaker Propones No Battles lie Al
lowed Beyond the Three-Mile
Limit from Land Navy Mat
ter of Appearance.
David Starr Jordan, first 'president and
now chancellor of Leland Stanford uni
versity, enroute to Kuropc, whero ho will
speak before Tho Haguo and other peace
conferences, told tho Omaha Commercial
club Friday noon how war Is practically
an Impossibility between tho great na
tions of tho earth, and how it can bo en
tirely eliminated.
He said ho would not take up the moral
side of the world peace question, as It
has been discussed very often and most
persons are familiar with It, and before
a body of business men he would talk
principally on tho financial side of war
fare. To make war the last resort among
nations Instead of tho first as it Is now,
Is the meaning of the present world peace
plans, he said. Tho best thing Roosevelt
over Baid, ho declared, was that the na
tions of tho earth should act like gentle
men. And gentlemen do not fight over
disagreements, tho speaker added.
"They submit them to law, Just as one
would not knock an editor down for say
ing 'he was a drunkard, but would take
the question to Marquette, Mich., for a
court to settle"
Wonld Snbmlt It to Lnvr.
, Dr. Jordan's peace plan Is to- submit .ll
international disagreements to law. Ho
said ho bellved tho peace plans of Mr.
Bryan and Mr. Wilson, if accomplished,
would provo the greatest step toward In
ternational peace that has ever been
taken.
"I have voted against Mr. Bryan threo
tlmM find reirrettcd It each time," he
Lsald. "but now I am with him In the
plan to form an Investigating committee
representing the nations. By the time a
question In dispute Is investigated and
the newspapers aro given tlmo to get It
off the front page, tho disputing nations
will have forgotten about It."
"A navy." sajd J)r, Jordap, "Is merely
a matter of appearance, Just as I would
wear a fancy coat when I go out Into
society that calls fojvfanoy coats. Wc
fioufdTnroro" hutcKTf JsWV"ar?,bxf;j)oy.c.ott,'
than we could by getting out our navies..".
.Som.e of his remarks that brought ap
proval w,re: "There la nothing to tne
peace of dreads."
"Wo need the peace of law where the
smallest nation will be as fairly treated
as the largest."
"Whero nobody Is loaded nobody ex
plodes." "We don't gain anything morally,
physically or financially by war.
"The nations of the world have lost
half their virility through tho loss of
good breeding stock on the battlefield.'
"We think murder is a great and
glorious thing when done on a large
scale.
"Ve are Just as much in danger of
war with Abyslnnia.a-s of Germany pr
Japan."
Some of the rules which would lead to
world peace, Dr. Jordon said were:
Allow no fighting on tho sea beyond .the
threo mile limit from land; stop the
collecting of bad debts for the Interests
by sending out battleships until the debts
have been adjudicated by law; the estab
lishment o- an international investigating
committee.

WASHINGTON, June IS. President
Wilson's name In connection with "Whlto
House Influence" for the tariff bill was
brought before tho senato lobby Investi
gating committee again today by Senator
Galllnger, who declared the president had
come perilously near "lobbying" In some
of the things he had done In connection'
with tho tariff bill. Mr. Galllnger did
not make a direct chargQ that the presi
dent had "lobbied" for the tariff bill,
but the intimations In his testimony were
taken by democratic senators to bo so
broad that they subjected him to a long
cross-examination on tho subject of
"White 'Houso influence."
Senator Gallinger'a statements came tu
a profound sensation. He was about to
leave tho stand when Senator Reed asked
a final question.
"When a man says that he would 'hang
someone "as high' as Hainan' If that per
son did not do certain things," said Sen
ator Galllnger, "and that any proposed
reduction of washes would be Investigated,
i wunn .mm is bdoui mo worst Kino oc
Influence I can Imagine."
"What do you think of a publlo oftVla;
that gets up a Bcare about an Insidious
lobby?" asked Senator Nelson.
Intention of President
'That ho Intends to - Influence publie
opinion and tho opinion of publlo men,'1
returned Senator Galllnger.
"Would you regard it as, a species of
lobby?"
"From. my own Inability to define the
term to my own satisfaction, perhaps
I would not HKo to say, It was a species
of lobby influence,"
"It was nn Intimation that men nr
af.ra.id, to lite their own judgment lest
the people, suspect them of lobbying?"
persisted Senator Nelson.
"It. so Impressed- rnrf.lLiiepUeil Senator
1 atitfr-', - -
' '"TotrthinK thenVthtt.t members of emi
gre's can be Intimidated?" asked Chair
man Overman.
"t have no disposition. to criticize public
officials for cheap partisan purposes." re
turned Gailjngcr. "i still am forced to
the belief that -tho Influence used In bo
half of free sugar or freo wool or free
anything else, is as objectionable as any
thing else."
Attempt to Drar Line.
Benotor Reed trltd to draw the line be
tween tho president acting in behalf of
tho people who elected him and prlvato
Interests conducting a campaign for telf
!sh ends.
"I am an old-fashioned person," replied
Senator Galllnger. "I stilt believe In the
three co-ordinate branches of the govern
ntcnt and It grieves 'me to see the execu
tive encroaching on tho powers of tha
others and attempting to Influence legis
lation." "Tho sugar men wero represented," said
Senator Heed. "Don't you think, tha presi
dent had a right to use his Influence?"
"The president has n right to make
his statement in meBsoge.1 to congress,"'
"You don't want to charge' that tho
president 6f the United States has brought
any kind of coercion to bear upon any
member of congress?"
"I would not undertake to do so. I havo
no disposition to criticise him unfairly."
, Mr. Galllnger added that he did know
that mahy democrats wore complaining
because moro offices were not filled and
more nominations not sent to the senate.
"You don't mean to intimate that tho
president Is holding up certain appoint
ments to compel senators to vota for leg
islation they don't deslro?"
"I make no charge."
Nn Onlslde Interests.
Senator Galllnger, who bad not pre
viously testified, told the committee he
had no Interests outside of a "little rocky
farm In New Hampshire," where he
raised hay and apples. Ho knew of no
Improper Influences or lobbying methods.
"During my publlo life of four years In
