WASHINGTON CITY, March &c -lr. j.
Harris Rogers continued his testimony be-
fore the Pan Electric telephone committee
Monday. He explained what he did in tho
way of distributing stock for the company
He had retained as his share of the stock
Sl10,0O, and had given SlOO,0)0 to the Rev.
Father Rockfort, of St Dominick's church,
this city; $4,000 to Mr. Price, then Indian
commissioner. etc. The company divided
the money procured from the sale of the
500, 600 retained for and refused by Abram
S Hewitt of New York, and purchased by
Senator Vest and some lady friends of Sen
ator Harris
Mr.. Rogers stated that his father had
made application for appointment to some
position in the Judiciary department of the
government or in the diplomatic corps, and
that he was recommended by some of his
associates in the Pan-Electric Telephone
company. Mr.. Rogers reiterated that Col
Young had assured him, on two occasions
last July, that Attorney General Garland
would bring suit on the part of the govern
ment to set aside the Bell patents This as
surance was given in connection with con
versations relating to suits then pending by
the Pan Electric company against the Bell
company. Mr.. Rogers never heard, he SAID,
any talk about legislating in favor of tie
Pan-Electric company, except in connection
with the postal telegraph bill 1t was thought
some of the inventions owned by the Pan
Electric Telegraph company could be
disposed of to the government, and it was
then that Senator Harris stated that when
the postal telegraph bill came before the
| senate, he would rise and announce that he

The object in giving stock to the public
men who came into the company was t.
