A CORRECTION.


Editor or ne llinrs. -
In the very interesting account Of Nat
Turner'S Uprising given in your recent Is
sizes mention II casually made IN one of the
pauer- az the late Commodore Jesse u. Eli
Oft. at the United States navy. as having been
the commander Of the old frigate COnstitu-
ti0n during the late war with England. ana
having made her immortal IN the history u
naval warfare by his plowess ON the sea.'
A. the article ln question j.. az least. SEMI
historical i'm its character. and a. honor
should Doe given - whom honor Is due. l
think II proper that correction should DE
made as % The statement quoted above Oh ref
erenle % the command Of tie Constitution
during the course OF the late war with
Great Britain. First. Captain Isaac HUI,
under whom the Guerrero was captured;
second. Captain William cambridge I'M
der whom the java was captured and, third,
Captain Charlie, Stewart grandfather Of Par
nell. under whose command the Constitution
captured, in one action, the Cyane and the
Lcvant. and in another the nan-oi-war
schooner Pictou.
During almost the whole Of that war Cap
tain then Lieutenant, and later Commander
Elliott WAS stationed on the lakes Ontario and
Erie and doubt greatly whether he bad bis
foot on the deck of the frigate Constitution
during the late war with Great Britain.
II j. true that this famous old frigate was
made immortal IN the history of naval war
fare by the proves Of her cOmmandeis.' but
1t is equally true that Captain Elliott was
never. tor an instant her commander during
the whole of the war of 1912. To ascrlbe 70
him. therefore. even at this late date, credit
that properly belongs elsewhere is manifest
injustice 10 those gallant. departed souls 10
whom the glory of the achievements Of ,Old
Ir0n-ides" IA she is affectionately called IN
the navy Ia this day Is due. The facts are
these The frigate Constitution had three
commanders. and but three. during the con-
tinuance OF the war Certainly he never COM
mauded her until long after the peace Of

Tho Joint Congressional Committee
Questioning Pillsbury, the Miller.
WARRINGTON, Dec. 31.-The Joint
congressional committee on emigration
today began an investigation into the
purchase of American industries by for
eign capital with c. A. Pillsbury. the
Minnesota miller, as witness. In ref.
erence to the sale of the Pillsbury and
Washburn milling property, the witness
said the conveyance was made to Carry
& Whittredge, of New York. represent.
ing a London company. In connection
with these mills there were sold about
100 elevators belonging to the Minne-
apolis Elevator company living
along the line of the Great
Northern road, also the prop
erty of the Minneapolis Mill ompany,
and st, Anthony Water Power com pany.
The total consideration was about
$s,00O,O0o. Different terms were made
with each of the parties interested in
the concerns sold. He thought the
most OF the stock was owned in Eng
land. Mr.. Pillsbury said that under
the terms of the sale he agreed to man
age the property for five years, though
he supposed his seryices could be dis
pensed with earlier The witness em-
ployed 700 or 500 men and the pay roll
averaged $3.50 a day per man, which
was increased to S3.ll by the voluntary
distribution of profits by the firm.
