After recess Quigg was sworn. He said
he had known Lessler for eight years
but his acquaintance, while cordial had
not been intimate. He had known DobIin
for about the same length OF. time. He
described Doblin a district worker
On December 9, 1902, he testified. he
called at the Waldorf and sent his card
10 Serator Hanna to invite him to a pub
lie dinner. While he was waiting he en-
cCuntered Dr. Kerr of Chicago whom he
had known as partner of Holland in the
pneumatic tube business. DR.. Kerr asked
him If he knew Lessler and on being an

(QUiGg) would do him favor. The doc

on behalf of the Holland torpedo-boat
DR.. Kerr, he said, told him that LessIer

and noisy" way.
Quigg visited Lessler, to whom he said
according to Quigg's testimony:
"Lessler, 1 called here to talk about the
Holland torpedo-boat on behalf OF a
friend OF mine. whom 1 would like 10
oblge. He has told me your opposition
is ugly and malignant. and that you have
said all manner of nasty things about the
Holland people. / wanted TO see II I could
rot persuade you not TO be so stiff about
the matter"
Quigg said Lessler thereupon told him
he was very much opposed to building any
more Of the boats, saying that the com
pany maintained a most unscrupulous
lobby in Washington and that it was as
much as anybody's reputation was worth
to have anything to do with it.
Quigg specifically denied that he had
offered 5000 for Lessler's vote or that he
had told Doblin that he would try to fix
1t so there would be $1,000 in it for DOH
lin. He also declared that he had not au-

Iron and Stool.

The marvellous industrial develop
mept of the United States during the
past decade contains no record that
can compare with the growth OF our
great iron and steel industry. The
whole fascinating story of the evolution
from very small beginnings of the
wonderful aggregation Of cooking
ovens, blast furnaces, and rolling
mills. which render the valley OF The
Monongahela the very center OF the
worlds iron and steel industries, has
never been told. In a special number
devoted to Iron and Steel exclusively,
the SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN presents
an authoritative account OF how we
have out-distanced all other countries
in the production Of iron and steel.
How wonderful that devel ipment has
been, is shown by the mere fact that in
1910 there were produced in the United
States but SO, 90S tons of pig iron, and
that in 1902 the total output of pig iron
passed far beyond that of our nearest
competitor, Great Britain, reaching
the huge total of II, S21, 307 tons. How
this vast output of pig iron is con
verted into armor plate, gun steel,
structural shapes, tubes, rails, anc
steel and wire, besides a host OF Other
things, it is this special number s

Of $685. 900 and all her crew, save
