MIR. Carnegie came into my Office and
said he had seen my testimony before
the naval committee OF the senate, and
sindirated thatif thesmatter was toSgoun
he would make proposition that he
was willing to anything that was fair.
Itold him that the newspapers had only
published a portion Of my statement
before the committee. stated to him
the substance OF what that evidence
was. | told him it had been published
by the senate committee and that he
could get copy OF IL; that l
had given it as my opinion that the
Quay amendment providing that the
Sl45, 900 should be returned to his com.
pany in case the plates named should
pass the ballistic test enough not to
pass; that the fine was not imposed on
tho idea that the plates would not stand
the ballistic test. although might be
mistaken; but whether the plates stood
the test or not, did not think he was
entitled to the money, because the fines
had been imposed upon the company
upon the ground that it had not made
the plates Us much better than that test
would indicate it could have done.
referred Mr.. Carnegie and his
friends to that printed testimony. and
they left without making to me any
definite proposition, aud without saying
anythingabout suing the government

was concerned the payment Of that fine
was considered as a final settlement OF
the question OF damages.

The FACT that professional evangel-

is no doubt ofthe facts, that the size oil
