They insist that the torpedo has been greatly improved in recent years, not only in the matter of speed and range, but •in accuracy of direction. It Is true that In rare instances the automatic steering gear of the torpedo has blocked itself,, causing the weapon to take an erratic course, but through the use of a small gyroscope within the shell It Is generally possible to hold the torpedo on a very accurate course. It is assumed that because the range of the weapon ha® been extended from 600 yards to nearly 4,000 there will be more misses, but even W ofie out of four or five torpedoes Qndp Us mark,' the experts will be entirely 1 satisfied.

Representative Littleton asked: “I suppose you naturally understood Mr. Gary and Mr. Frick were coming to ; you because of a distressing situation in New York, because If they undertook , to do this thing without apprising the government fully what they intended 1 to do, and they were enjoined in the proceeding by the attorney general, it would make the difficulty all the worse.’’ , “My own belief was,” Mr. Roosevelt said, "that they knew that even If I i did not direct an injunction against . them, that if I merely stated that It i ought not to be done, that they could . not do it." “Yes,” Mr. Littleton continued, “in other words, the adverse attitude of the i government, whether In a distinct direc tion to your department of justice, or ■ the announcement of your position—" * “Would have been conclusive against It,” said Mr. Roosevelt, finishing the sentence. "As I said, my responsibility was complete and absolute. I cannot state i It any stronger.” In course of the Investigation Mr. ! Roosevelt was asked: i “Did they advise you that nine-tenths . of this Tennessee stock was locked up j in the strong boxes of multi-millionaires i on account of its value, and that the stock’s value had purposely been de : stroyed In Wall street by pegging, and i that only 30 per cent of this stock was involved in the loans that were In . trouble?’ - “Nobody talked to me on the lines you . suggest at all,” said Mr. Roosevelt. “Have you seen <.ne report of Herbert Knox Smith, of the bureau of corpora tions, on the United States Steel corpor i ation,” said Mr. Stanley, “setting forth that the corporation was worth about > 1700,000.000?’ “No." . STANLEY ARGUES IT. Mr. Stanley then made a long argu ment regarding the actual values of the , steel corporation, asking Mr. Roosevelt's l opinion thereon. ’ “I do not want to answer hypothetical questions based on Mr. Smith’s or any one's conclusions,” ■ Mr. Roosevelt de- ■ dared. 1 “Did Mr. Frick or Mr. Gary tell you that no bank tn New York or no stoc. broker ever had told them the absorption of the Tennessee Coal and Iron by the United States Steel was necessary for its salvation?’ i '1 never heard anything about such a matter,’’ Mr. Roosevelt answered. "Did they tell you there was no trouble except with a certain stock Tennessee Coal and Iron in the market Tennesee Coal and Iron In the market in away that we call out west by an . ugly name?’ "OH, MR. STANLEY.” ’ "Oh! Mr. Stanley, don’t hurt my feelings," Mr. Roosevelt replied with a chuckle, ' "Did they advise you that certain wine agents had been kiting this Ten- 1 nessee stock and that Kessler, the wine agent, and Grant B.

ROME, Aug. 7.—Pope Pins experienced a slight relapse today. The attack cam® suddenly, aggravating the cold with which he has been suffering, and accom panied with gouty pains. Dr. Giusuppe Petacci, private physician to his holiness, and Dr. Ettore Marchia fava, consulting physician at the Vati can. being notified of the unexpected change in the pontiff's condition, visited him immediately and directed that he re main in bis room. His holiness had appeared to txs recov ering normally from his recent Indispo sition, though the recent extreme heat had weakened him and prevented hl* daily celebration of mass. Up to last night he was determined to participate In the celebration of the eighth anniversary of his coronation. This morning the physicians decided that in view of the increasing high emper ature they would oppose the participa tion of the pope in the function. Accord ingly, it was arraiged that the service should be conducted by Cardinal Merry del Vai, the papal secretary of rtate. It was some hours later that tie pon tiff’s condition showed an unexpected change for the worse.

Charles M. Schwab, president of the Bethlehem Steel corporation, and former president of the United States Steel cor poration, followed Mr. Roosevelt on the stand, resuming where his examination terminated yesterday. Chairman Stanley called Mr. Schwab’s attention to a statement he is alleged to have made that the steel corporation was in a position to make railroad rates what it pleased. Mr. Schwab said he did not recall that statement. Thereupon the chairman produced a large book with a lock on it, the key dangling from the side. The book was a record of some of the United States Steel corporation’s board of directors’ meet ings. He read from a meeting In 1901. "By the way,” Mr. Stanley asked, “what is the object of that lock on the book?’ ”* don’t know, unless it was to keep some of the directors from gettipg at it,” Mr. Schwab replied. Mr. Schwab was quoted in the minutes as saying that the corporation could not get any better rates than any one else from a certain railroad. “What road was that?’ asked Mr. Stan-? ley. “I don’t remember.” After S£r. Stanley had read from the minutes for some time and asked Mr. Schwab if he recalled the meeting, th® witness said, “Yes, I remember; read th® rest of it." “That’s all there is to it," the chair man said. “I am very glad," Mr. Schwab said.
