ROOSEVELT TELLS OF SMOTHERING PANIC BY QUICK ACTION Former President Makes Dra matic Appearance Before Steel Probe Committee and Voluntarily Submits NEW YORK. Aug. 5 Theodore Roose velt stalked boldly before the house of represent stives committee of Inquiry in to the United States Steel corporation here today and voluntarily told how his action in consenting tothe absorption of the Tennessee" Coal and Iron company 'by the steel corporation in 1807 averted a disastrous panic. The former chief executive's action in submitting to a congressional review of his own administration was almost un precedented in the history of the United States and was thoroughly Rooseveltian. He arrived unheralded at the city hall, vigorously shook hands with members of the committee, declared himself de lighted to see everybody and got down to business First and foremost he placed upon ’ himself responsibility for approving the absorption to save a perilous financial disaster tn Wall street, and condemned any man who would be so weak as not to act as he did tn that crisis. DRAMATIC APPEARANCE. Probably nothing in the vigorous life history of Theodore Roosevelt was more dramatic than hts public appearance to day at the crisis of the investigation in to the transact feri which has been re corded in hundreds of pages of congres sional inquiry. After declaring that his object in ap proving the sale of the Tennessee com pany was to restore confidence, the former president, in response to inquir ies by Representative Littleton relating to the memorable white house confer ence in November, 1907, at which Judge Gary and H. C. Frick were present, said: - . "The situation was so critical that it was liable to break at any moment until the action was taken, and the instant it was taken an enormous improvement for the better occurred.” Then Mr. Roosevelt launched into a dis cussion with Chairman Stanley on the general trust question, saying that the United States had something to learn from Germany. “Mr. Stanley." Mr. Roosevelt bro... in, switching the line of inquiry tn progress, "may I say in connection with what has been said on the general trust question and of this particular corporation, the steel corporation, that I know you will not accept silence on my part as indi cating anything as to my attitude on the general trust question as you know it?" FOR NATIONAL CONTROL "I have stated again and again while I Was president, in messages to con gress. which were not always received "with as much enthusiasm as they were written, and since then in articles and speeches, just wnat 1 have felt the at titude of congress toward these great corporations should be, and as you know. 1 believe in a far more drastic and far more thorough-gooing supervis ion and control over them by the na tional government than we have yet achieved. "On another occasion I should have been very glad to have spoken with you on trust remedies. I am sure you will not achieve your purpose by splitting up the big corporations. “While something can be done along that line, the work must be done by our national government acting as the government of Germany has. 1 think, in the potash matter acted—by actual ly, in the interest and all the people, in terfering and exercising a degree of control over a big corporation, which it would be wholly unecessary to exer cise over a corporation that has no monopolistic taint.” “I wish to say,” Mr. Stanley re plied. “that I am not of the opinion that the dissolution of the United States Steel corporation into its con stituent parts Is an adequate remedy." “You are quite right.” said Mr. Rooaevelt. “I believe, the chairman continued, “that we must divorce absolutely the United States Steel corporation from every common carrier on the continent and by law force the common carriers to charge the steel corporation just what they charge other people. We must destroy a rebate which is against the spirit of the law as well a« a rebate which is in violation of the letter of the law. If that Is done, and if tn addition—" “Judge Landis tried to do that and failed,'* interjected Mr. Roosevelt, his comment provoking loud laughter. .The chairman said he would prevent a director of the steel corporation from becoming a director of railroads and de nounced the system of interlocking di rectors. “With the general purpose of what you propose,” said Mr. Roosevelt, “I am in hearty sympathy and I should go farther still in exercising direct control over these big corporations. And ollow me to say, sir. you have known them at some distance. I have lived near them and I know them well.” In responding to queries directed to the Tennessee Coal and Iron transaction, and the testimony of Grant B. Schley that he did not know whether he would have failed had it not been for the sale of the Tennessee company to the steel cor poration. Mr. Roosevelt aroused the committee with the terse statement that if Schley did not know It he was the only man in New York who did not. •‘I never had any doubt as tothe wis dom of my action. Every particle-of in formation he had since received had confirmed him,” he said, that his action »&« wise. Representative Bartlett, of Georgia, suggested that with reference to the proposition of more drastic control of large corporations, Judge Gary hid been won over. Mr. Roosevelt replied. “I hope so.” “Judge Gary’” suggestion.” said Mr. Bartlett, “was that the Sherman anti -5 trust law had remained dormant for nearly W years and had never been sought to be enforced so drastically as in recent years—” “As It had been during my adminis tratlon.” said Mr. Roosevelt sharply, leaning forward and smiling his broad est smile. “I am sure as I can be of anything that the course I advocated repeatedly while I was president ulti mately will commend Itself to the judg ment of the people of the United States.” To the extent of the government fix ing prices T’ asked Mr. Bartlett.

DEMOGBITS ARE = FIBM FOB LOWER DOTIESONWOOL Conference a Deadlock So Far, Senator LaFollette’s Argu ment for 35 Per Cent Find ing Underwod Unyielding >Y RALPH SMITH (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) WASHINGTON, D. C.. Aug. s.—Os ear Underwood put down his firm foot in conference today, and Senator La- Follette. who with him is considering the wool and free list bills, went back to the senate insurgent camp with the news that the house will not accept a 35 per cent rate on raw wool. He prom ised to see Mr. Underwood again before nightfall if he had made any progress with Senator Bristow and other insur gents, who Insist that ths house accept the senate bill. By the time Mr. ’ Underwood was dressed to take dinner with the presi dent and Admiral Togo, no word had come from Mr. LaFollette, so the tar iff matters went over until the first cf next week. Needless to say, Senator LaFollette had no invitation to dine with the president. AGREEMENT UNCERTAIN In the belief of Mr. Underwood it will require patience and probably time, to agree on wool, but he expects that be fore many days of next weeK ye passed a bill will be reported back to both houses and accepted. Senator LaFollette today advanced the view that if a 35 per cent bill is sent the president he will have less, excuse for vetoing it than if the bill carried a duty of nearer the 20 per cent im posed in the house. Mr. Underwood, none the less anxious for the revision of the tariff, believes that the president will veto any bill they send him until his tariff board has reported, and theres ~e he is determined Ito stand on a measure which can be defended on the stump as Democratic bill, and which the president cannot undercut in duties when he transmits his revision message next December. ADJOURNMENT SOON Os course the longer the jockeying lasts the more hazy grows the date of adjournment, but there is an undercur rent of belief that the legislative log jam will break some time soon and a concurrent adjournment resolution will be passed. When the full wool conference commit tee met today, the free list bill was tak en up A motion was made at once to report a disagreement on the free list bill to both houses so that another bhance to vote on the meat and flour amendments would be afforded the senate. SENATOR BAILEY, AGAIN. Senator Bailey, whose single vote de feated the Democratic house measure this week, promptly objected, however, saying that he was unwilling to report a disagreement until Mr. Underwood and Senator LaFollette had tried their hands on the free list bill as wel las the wool bUI. Both bills were then referred to them and they went into conference, taking up the wool bill again before they part ed, with Mr. LaFollette promising to let Mr. Underwood know if he had secured any concessions from his colleague*. “W edldn't agree, and we had secured actly disagree,” said Hr. Underwood. ■ “But if I can’t get much lower rates than 35 I won't report any wool bill.” PRESIDENT'S VETO CERTAIN. Meanwhile the information that the president intends to veto all tariff, acts and that the house will attempt to re pass them over his veto, received fresh i corroboration. | Senator Bradley called on Mr. Taft And talked over things with him. He received the distinct Impression | that the president has no thought other ; than vetoing the bills. i Senator Crane reported to Mr. Taft . that an attempt to repass the wool and free list bills, after he had disapproved ; them, would be futile as many Repub licans who voted for them before would not fly in the face of their president a i second time. ♦ HAS BOLL WEEVIL'S ♦ ♦ HEMESIS BERM FOUHDf ♦ ♦ ABBEVILLE.

DIESJNMILE Leader of Southern Methodism Passes Away After Several Days Illness With Neuralgia of the Heart NASHVILLE. Tenn., Aug. s.—Bishop O. P. k.tzgerald. of the Southern Meth odist church, died this afternoon at Mont Eagle. Tenn., at 2:55. He had been suffering for several days with neuralgia of the heart. SKETCH OF LIFE. Oscar Penn Fitzgerald was the son of Richard and Martha James Hooper Fitzgerald, and was born in Gaswell, N. C., August -4, 1829. xxis middle name was taken from that of the Rev. Dr. Abram Penn, who baptized him in infancy, praying at the time that he might become a Methodist preacher. As a lA>y in North Carolina he received a common school education very early in life, catching the four-horse stage coach for Virginia, where he went in search of work. His first service was in the composing room of the Lynchburg Re publican. Later he became a clerk In the office of the Lynchburg Post; and while so engaged the Mexican war came on. His father, responding to the call of his country, marched to Mexico with General Scott. When the elder Fitzgerald went to fight his country's battles, his son re turned home to North Carolina to sup port his mother, doing so by teaching In the neighborhood. When the war was over the young man returned to his newspaper work, going to Richmond and, obtaining a place on the Richmond Examiner, of which the late John M. Daniel was then political editor, and of which Edgar Allen Poe was about to be .made literary editor when his genius was stilled in death. It was a favorite reminiscence with Bishop Fitzgerald, this acquaintance with Poe. On one occasion he heard Poe lecture, the impression being a profound one. Bishop Fitzgerald at this time was about 20 years of age. MOVED TO GEORGIA. From Virginia, th# young man went to Georgia, where, after a trying spell of typhoid fever, his attention was directed to the ministry. In 1854, at the Georgia Methodist conference meeting at Atlanta, with Bishop Capers presiding, he was admitted, and was sent to Savannah as a junior preacher. A short time later he went to the far west as a missionary. In 1867 he was chosen superintendent of public instruction of California, continu ing in the position for four years. While in California he was for a time editor of the Pacific Methodist and Christian Spec tator. Returning to the south In 1878, he was elected editor of the Nashville Christian Advocate, an organ of the Southern Methodist church, succeeding Rev. Dr. T. R. Summers. In 1886, when the general conference of the church met in Richmond, he was suggested as a bishop and four years later, when the conference met in St. Louis, this honor For many years Bishop Fitzgerald had been incapacitated by age and failing strength, but his interest in his church never flagged. To the end of his days, too, he retained his interest in the news paper business in which he had started hts career. He wrote extensively him self, and a son, the late Lee Fitzgerald, was at one time editor of the Nashville American, later absorbed by the Ten nessean. In 1855 Bishop Fitzgerald was married to Miss Sarah Banks, of Enon, Ala., who survives him with the follow ing children: Mrs. G. F. Nye and Mrs. J. B. Robert son, of Nashville. Tenn.; William S. Fitz gerald, of Tullahoma, Tenn., and Oscar P. Fitzgerald, Jr., of Charleston, W. Va. The body will arrive at Nashville at 10:50 o’clock Monday morning and be taken to the residence. 17 Garland ave nue.

BROOKLYN TROLLEYS IRE' RUN WITH POLICE COARD Strikers Will Ask Mayor Gay nor’s Mediation-Few Pas sengers Risk Ride NEW YORK, August 7.—The striking Brooklyn street car motormen and con ductors announced today that they would call on Mayor Gaynor as soon as he would see them, in an effort to terminate the strike, which already has resulted in much rioting. They want the mayor to intercede with the company, with the expectation that it will grant their demands. The presi dent of the company declared today that there was nothing to arbitrate and that the company would operate its cars with non-union men ajid by the aid of the police. The routes traversed by the two lines <vere heavily patrolled by police today, officers riding o neach car that the com pany attempted to run. Police Com missioner Waldo instructed his subordi nates in Brooklyn to capture stone throwers and rioters, without fail, it be ing his belief that the police duty ends in preserving peace and preventing vio lence. Many arrests have been made, and the company plans a vigorous prose cution. Strike Leader Patrick J. Shea is quoted as saying that the union can raise more than 1200,000 to support the members while conducting the strike. ATLANTA, GEORGIA, TUESDAY, AUGUST 8, 1911. LONGING FOR LAND SOLONS SEE MACON, EAT BIG BARBECUE AND HEARSPEECHES Lawmakers of Georgia, in a Body, Are Guests of Central City in Full Day of Many Events MACON, Ga., Aug. s.—Burgundy punch buttermilk bgrbecue and beer were served nearly 200 members of the legislature who assembled in Macon to day as the guests of the Central Capitol association. The legislators and about 125 legislative and state house attaches and friends cajjie to Macon on a special train over the Southern, on which there were also seven possible candidates so« governor. They were met at the depot, by 5,000 citizens and were Installed in automobiles, then they were taken to Central City park where officials of the State Fair association pointed out thq need for a state appropriation for more buildings. Here they were also given punch by eight of the prettiest young ladies ot the city. From the park the procession, nearly two miles long and headed b> brass bands, moved through the prlncv pal streets of the city amid the throng of cheering people. The visitors were shown two sites, Colleman’s hill and Tatnall Square park, which have been suggested as possible location for the capitol building. The tour ended at the Log Cabin club, where a feast of enormous proportions ana splendid variety was served under the shade of the big oaks. More than 5,000 bottles of beer, 100 gallons of butter milk and 100 gallons of lemonade were drank, while nearly 2,000 pounds of barbecued meats and brunswick stew, besides other viands were consiumed. Fully a thousand people of Macon, including many ladies, sat at the tables with the Georgia aolons and betweei. mouthfuls argued that Macon is the logical place for the capitol. The legislators and state house offi cials return on the special train this af ternoon. ALL SERENE AFTER STRIKE ON DES MOINES TROLLEYS Legal Aspect of Case to Be Ar gued Monday in Court of Injunction DES MOINES, Aug. 7.—Normal con ditions existed ta Des Moines today. With •treet car traffic resumed and every street car in the entire system of the city railway running on schedule time, there were no surface indications that there had been a strike at all. The controversy between Manager J. R. Harrigan and the carmen’s union, which, under the mandate of Judge Lawrence DeGraff, of the district court, Saturday night, became a legal' ques tion, was apparently forgotten so far as the conductors and motormen and their passengers were concerned. The legal aspect of the strike and its cause was expected this morning to be taken up in Judge DeGraff’s court to day. This expectation was based upon the attitude of the company, which, while it conformed to the terms of the temporary injunction, questioned the legality of the order. Patents Issued WASHINGTON, Aug. S.—Patents is sued: Georgia, C. B. Stillwell, Savannah, nut lock; William W. Temples, Columbus, fluid pressure valve; John H. Watters, Augusta, feed water strainer valve. -ais. --A?. a ARKANSAS PRIMARY MAY NAME CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENCY LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Aug. 7.—ln ah probability the Democrats of Arkansas will determine the state’s choice for the presidential nomination at a primary election. ’ Thia plan, originating with the Woodrow Wilson club, has been en dorsed by the supporters of others mentioned in connection with the noml- i nation, and members of the state ex ecutive committee have expressed them selves as favorable to the proposal. Ar kansas will be one of the first states to adopt this plan, Oregon and Nebras ka being the only onesAin which this method has been establrahed. Hereto fore, as in most states, the convention has made the selection. SPIRITED CAMPAIGN. Although party primaries will not be held until March 4 of next year, fac tional leaders are organizing their forces, and a spirited campaign is in prospect. The Woodrow Wilson club has been in existence for several weeks, and now those who espouse the cause of Gov ernor. Harmon, of Ohio, announce their organization ready to be launched. From Governor Wilson a message has been received stating that the endorse ment of Arkansas would be gratifying. Guy B.

Is 1 this: The free list bill will be agred to by i both houses and put up to the president, who will veto It. The wool bill is the rock on which the Democrats and Insurgents may split, and there is much talk today that it may go over until December. The cotton bil stands a good chance of parsing the senate. The date of‘adjournment, it is gener ally believed, will occur somewhere around August 15. TIPPINS MEASURE NOT YET REACHED; FIMCmiN | It Is Scheduled to Come Up Tuesday as Soon as Fertili-. zer Bill Has Been Disposed of by House The Tippins bill to prohblt near-beer in Georgia was further jeopardized Mon- f » day by a two hours’ discussion in the house of the fertilizer bill, which pte-j vented this latter measure from coming to a vote and, at the same time, de fered action on the Tippins bill. In spite: of this Increased opposition, however, supporters of the Tippins measure believe that it will be enacted at this session! of the legislature; and an opponent of the bill said Monday morning that he 1 thinks it will get through the house* i i though not in time for passage by the* senate. The fertilizer measure is still the spe-i cial and continuing order before the house, and will be resumed Tuesday I morning. After it, the Tippins Mil is next: in order. The Tippins measure was the special order for Monday morning, but' was displaced by the fertilizer bill, which being the special order for Friday and not being finished then went over until Monday. Because of this displacement, p the Tippins bill is the special order for Tuesdays, after the fertilizer bill. HAS RIGHT OF WAY. This condition makes the appropriation < bill still the crux of the situation. The fertilizer bill probably will be completed Tuesday morning and next in order will be the Tippins measure. But the alterna tive that looms large is the Intervention of the appropriation bill. This bill has the rigth-of-way and precedes .all other measures. If It Is called for by the chair man of the appropriation committee Im mediately after the ocnclueion of the fer tilizer bill, the Tippins measure will be put aside until after the adoption of tne fertilizer bill. It could then be brought before the house and passed, but pass age at such a late date would not given time for consideration of the bill by the senate. _ ' Neither supporters nor opposers of the bill know when the appropriation bill will be called for by Mr. McEJreath of Ful ton, chairman of the appropriation (com mittee. Opponents are of the opinion that he will have the bill brought up Tuesday afternoon. He has made no definite announcement, however, of what he will do. If consideration of .the appropriation bill does begin Tuesday afternoon, the Tippins bill probably will be deferred until after the adoption of the appropria tion measure. Once thef Tippins bill is put to a vote it will pass the house by a safe majority. Efforts for the passage of the Tippins bin prohibiting the sale of near beer i . were resumed Monday morning immedi ately after the house met, by Mr. Alex ander ,of DeKalb, tnoving that the house continue in session Monday afternooon. Mr. Hall, of Bibb, insisted that an afternoon session will interfere with the work of the reapportionmefit committee and urged that the' Tippins bill be de layed until the appropriation bill has been considered. “I didn’t mention the Tippins bill," re plied Mr. Alexander. “But the gentle- j man who suggested that this measure. be postponed until after consideration of! I the appropriation' bill knows that such: delay would merely be a means of kill ing the bill.” By a vote of 68 to 57 the motion of' Mr. Alexander to have the house meetj • I at 3 o’clock for an afternoon session was defeated. c. lecWtakTslime BY FORELOCK IN HAITI j Revolutionary Leader Beats His Rival, Firmin, to It-Fir min Arrives Monday PORT AU PRINCE Haiti, Aug.
