LEWIS NIXON SWORE SCHWAB INTERFERED United States ShipbuiIding Company's Case Still On DIRECTORS HOLD NO STOCK Samuel Untermayer Endeavored to Prove That the Interests of the
 Company Were Neglected.
 schwab Present.
HOLD NO STOCK

New York, October 2f.-Lewis Nixon. who from naval constructor became builder of warshps and the president of the United States Shipbuilding company was the principal witness today at the continuation of the hearing before Elk aminer Henry II. Oliphant as to the af- fairs of the defunct corporation named. He did not finish his recital but in the three hours that he was on the stand he went over much of the history of the corporation and the acts of the men prominent in it's history. He confirmed the claim of the bond holders that Max Pam. counsel for Charles M. sehwab, had suggested a number of directors for the shipbuilding combination, and said the proposed expenditure of $2, ,SO2000 for inn provements at the Bethlehem steel works had been approved by the directors over his protest and warning that the action in the end might leave the corporation without funds, and wreck it altogether.
 Mir Nixon swore that after this expen- diture was approved he made several at tempts to secure a meeting of the direc- tors. and that MT. schwab fully told him 
 remain away from a meeting.
 An effort was made to show that the di- rectors elected at the suggestion of MT. Pam had not been stockholders, but like the young men of the corporation trust company of New Jersey. who served in the early days of the combination, had been given shares enough to qualify, but MT. Nixon had no personal knowledge of the transaction.
 MT. Nixon testified that by resolution of the directors passed in December last, MT. Pam was given salary of SIS, 000 a year, which was dated back to the pre- eeding September. He also testified that besides his bonus as an underwater and the sums paid for the Bethlehem property, MT. Schwab received a share of the pro- motion money part of which he gave to Charles Gates of the firm of Harris, Gates and company.
 Samuel Untermeyer, for the bondhold- CTS, endeavored to prove that in the ne- gotiations for the purchase of the con- stituent plants. no one looked after the interests of the shipbuilding company, but that the figures and reports of John w. Young, the promoter, were accepted. MT. Nixon said that no important appraise- ment or investigation had been made, and disclaimed all principal responsibility for the negotiations and financial part of the combination plan. It was brought out in the testimony of MT. Nixon that misead ing statements as to the personnel of the directorate had been made in the pros pectus issued in June, 1902, and that Young had taken the options in his name.
 Charles M. Schwab and Max Pam at- tended the hearing today. They came to be sworn but remained interested listen teners to all the testimony. They will testify later in the week.
