TO VISITING MERCHANTS
Harvester, Shipping, and the
Money Combines To Be Put
Thru an Investigation.
RULES COMMITTEE’S PLAN
Steel Affair Small in Impor
tance to the One That Is to
Come, Says Chairman.
Washington, Dee. 29.—A sweeping
Investigation of the Harvester trust, the
.hipping trust and the money trust
will be authorised by the rules com
mittee of the house. Chairman Henry
announced today that Mfh Investigation
would start tn January and that It will
be the most complete undertaking by
congress since the Civil war.
The steel committee Investigation,
said Chairman Henry. In small In im
portance to the Investigation now being
planned. . . ,
"Senator LaFollette and others claim
a little more than a dozen men control
the finances, the railroad., find the
.hipping’of the country,” he said. "We
have no desire to Injure legitimate
business, but if this condition is true
It should be Investigated rigidly. As
chairman of this committee. I shall de
mand Investigations and you can not
put it too strong that the money trust,
the Harvester trust and the shipping
mist axe to go on the grill. One com
mittee with full powers and ample
funds may conduct the Investigation of
all three trusts, as they seem to be
closely interwoven.’’ .
Going After B'g Guns.
The trust investigation means that
the leading financiers of the country
Included J. Plerpont Morgan and his
associates are to be’summoned to ap
pear before the congressional commit-
t«\
< 'hair-man Henry requested from Sec-
rotary Nagel today a reply to the com
mittee's Invitation asking the secre
tary of commerce and labor to appear
and tell what he knows of a shipping
combine. Secretary Nagel will appear
before the rules committee January 16.
Attorney General Wlckersham and
Samuel Untermeyer. the latter a noted
corporation lawyer, are also expected
tn be present on that day and the rules
committee probably will ordor the triple
Investigation Immwjtately thereafter.
"I received a Totter today from-a
witness who wants to appear January
said Mr. Henry. “I have notified
him that the rules committee will not
watt that long to order the investiga
tion, and have suggested that he get
here January 15 Instead.”
What It Will Tackle.
The drastic probo planned by the
committee will seek to determine the
truth of tho following charges:
That acarcclv a doxen Wall Street
financiers dominato the money market,
make and unmake panics, control rail
roads and Insurance companies and
manipulate a chain of banks.
That theBC same Interests dominato
the Harvester trust, said to be closely
allied with the steel trust.
That these same men are Influential
tn the International shipping trust, al
leged to control #0 per cent of the ship
ping business between this and foreign
countries, and they actually dominato
trans-continental railroads. —-
Supplementary trust legislation, saya
chairman Henry, will depend largely
upon the evidence brought out before
the speclat committee.

New York, Dec. 29.—In an editorial
entitled “The'Russian Treaty, Arbitra
tion and Hypocrisy," published In the
current Issue of Tho Outlook, ex-Pres-
ldent Theodore Roosevelt again attacks
President Taft’s policies, declaring that
the president Is wrong In abrogating
the Russian treaty of 1832 without
awaiting official Interpretation of The
Hague International court and assert
ing that ratification of the Taft arbitra
tion treaties as they now stand will put
us as a nation In “an attitude of unc-
tlous and odious hypocrisy:’’
Colonel Roosevelt says that while he
approves of the action taken by con
gress In abrogating the treaty, he Is
of the opinion that It would have been
wiser first to submit the covenant to
The Hague court for Interpretation.
That, he Bays, would have enabled Rus.
sla to retire from an untenable position
with good graco and no loss of self-
respect—"an object that should al
ways be held in view in dealing with
any foreign nation.”
Here Is What He 8ays.
The ex-president then goes on, after
his vigorous fashion, aa follows:
"But this action was taken while the
universal arbitration treaties are pend
ing In the senate. These treaties are
avowedly championed as being of the
kind we are to enter into with all na
tions and as supplanting tho existing
arbitration treaties which we have with
almost all nations. Including Russia,
well as England and France. These
treatlua, If ratified by the senate un
amended, will explicitly promise, will
explicitly pledge the honor and good
faith of the American nation to arbi
trate precisely such questions as that
■which at this moment we announce
that win not endeavor to arbitrate In
the case of Russia. Under the elr-

Federal Judge Carpenter Re^
fuses to Grant a Motion to
Exclude Testimony.
ATTORNEYS ARGUE POINT
Chicago, Dec. 29.—The ten million
aire packers on trial for violations of
tha Sherman anti-trust law received
another reverse today when Federal
Judge Carpenter refused to grant their
motion to exclude testimony tending to
show that they control by-products
concerns of the packing Industry and
allowed the testimony to go before the
Jurors at least temporarily.
Argument on the motion of the attor.
neya for the packers was resumed when
court convened today. The testimony
at Issue-.tends to"show that tho beef
trust dominates tho butterlne and oleo
oil business was delayed. At the re
quest of the attorneys, the Jury was
excluded from the room and spent the
morning In their quarters In the Fed
eral buildings while the argument was
under way.
Plsaa for Packers.
Attorney John Barton Payne spoke
for the packers In support of the mo
tion. which was ipectllcally that testi
mony concerning the purchase of the
Kenwood and Aetna companies and
their control by the National Packing
Company be stricken out. The defense
contended that these concerns dealt in
the manufacture of by-products and the
evidence tended to support the charge
In the Indictment that the defendants
were in Illegal combination.
Attorney Payne argued that since the
Kenwood concern was engaged In the
manufacture of oleo oil, If the price of
that commodity was alfeeted by the
alleged combination and that constltut.
ed a violation of the Sherman law. It
would be an entirely separate offense
from the ones charged In the Indict-
nn»nt. *
Government attorneys argued that by
showing the packers controlling the by-
COntinued on List Pace
tratlon treaties would put the American
peoplo in an attttudo of peculiarly con
temptible hypocrisy and would rightly
expose us to the derision of all think
ing mankind, for 'we should put our
selves, in the position of making sweep,
lng and Insincere promises, impossible
of performance at tho very time when
we by our own actions showed that wo
would not keep such promises nor
translate them Into action.”
Oppose, Tha>« Treaties.
The ex-president says that such
questions os passports, Asiatic itnml
gratlon In ‘ Massachusetts, the principle
Involved In the Monroe doctrine and the
refusal. by the states to .pay bonds,
should never be put Into an arbitration
treaty. After saying that he believed
most earnestly in peace, ho continues:
"And I oppose these treaties because,
If unamended they would surely tell
against peace and would put us as a
nation Into an attitude of odious hypoc
rlsy.
"In other words. It would put this
country Into a position both ridiculous
and discreditable to pass the proposed
general arbitration treaties at the same
time that we. depounce our general
treaty with Russia.”
Colonel Roosevelt says that the ar
bitration treaties are nothing but gen
eral promises nnd that they are drawn
up In such sweeping and vague terms,
especially In the use of the word "Jus
tifiable,” that they might. In any con
crete case, bo held to mean anything
or nothing.
If the action taken by our govern
ment In the Russian matter was not
a violation of the principle of the arbi
tration treaties, says Colonel Roosevelt,
then the latter are not worth the paper
they are written on.
The paper concludes by saying that
It Is arrant hypocrisy for the United
Staten tn support the arbitration trea
ties as they stand and at the same time
annul the Russian treaty of 1832.
"Hypocrisy Is revolting In a nation
as In a man,” says he "and In the long
run I do believe that It pays either
man or nation."
An unofficial count of the birds that
will be displayed at the Great Central
Show of the South at the Auditorium
Armory, January 8 to 13, showed 2,035
head of chickens already In sight—and
more to come, in this count no atten
tlon was paid to the ducks, turkeys and
pigeons. In which divisions the entry Is
very largo and strong. It Is easy to
demonstrate, therefore, that when all
the entries are In there will be well over
3,000 birds of various sorts on exhibi
tion in the Auditorium-Armory.
Secretary Charles Harwell returned
Friday mornlnr from Winder, where he
Judged the show there, and has settled
down to the tough Job of classifying the
enormous lot of entries notV on-hand.
Secretary Harwell, by tho way, reports
an unusually good show at Winder, for
a first attempt; and states without
qualification that the enthusiasm shown
there in their own show. In poultry
breeding and In the forthcoming Atlan
ta show had passed all bounds. “One
woman told me,” said Mr. Harwell,
"that tho morning of the Winder show
she gave her husband a coal scuttle
and sent him to the cellar for coal. The
chlckon- struck citizen walked i
to the well, .carefully pumped tl
scuttle full of water and returned It
gravely to his spous}.
"Tills la a fair, sample," added Mr.
Harwell, “of what poultry enthusiasm
la doing to Winder."
High Clala of Entries.
The entries coming In now art* prov
ing most welcome bees use of the high
class of birds that arc being named,
The Khnballrille Farm entry, turned
In, by Will V. Zimmer, proved one of
the largest of the show. Mr. Zimmer
has entered 23 pigeons, and the varie
ties shown will Include White, Work
and Show Homers, Runts, Carriers:
Polish Lynx and Runt Maltese Squab.
In the poultry division the Kimball
Farm exhibit will includo White Or
pingtons, White Leghorns, White and
Fawn Indian Runner ducks.
The White Id-ghorn class suffered
from a sudden Influx of top-notch class
when the entry of J. P. Swift A Son,
of Waynesvllle, N. C., was.made. This
company named eight Individuals and
two pens, and If reports that have
reached Atlanta are true thla lot will
rut a vast deal of figure when the
time cornea for awarding the prizes.
Welcome entries on Friday morning
were those of V. A. Ham. of Nownan,
Ga. They Included five singles and a
pen of Buff Orpingtons, and two Indi
viduals and two pens of White Orping
tons.
J. M. Karwlsch, of Atlanta, has en
tered 30 White Rocks, and will of course
have some prize-winners .In the lot. His
entry Is always an exceptionally strong
one.
The Barred Rock class picked up
some strong entries when Julian Mr-
Camy, of Dalton, named some of his
wonderfully good birds. He win show
In Atlanta some of tho Rocks he ex
hibited at the recent Madison Bquare
Garden show.
One of the exceptionally large en
tries thus far received wna that of E.
