GARFIELD REPORT
 IS UNDER REVIEW
PRESIDENT HOLDS CONFERENCE WITH VIEW OF MAKING PLANS FOR FUTURE ACTION AGAINST OIL co. IRREGULARITIES.

Washington, May S.--An important con- ference was held at the White House late this afternon, participated in by the President, Attorney General Moody and James R. Garfield, commissioner of cor porations. It is undeFstod that the re- port recently made by MT. Garfield upon his Investigation of the oil industry, which report was recently transmitted to Con gress was under consideration with a view to determining what if any further step is to be taken.
 It is understood that in connection with some features of the findings of MT. Gar field the question considered was as to whether a legal remedy Is to be applied or whether the rate bill now pending when finally passed will not furnish a remedy for some of the matter complained of in MT. Garfield's report. The conference lasted an hour and half
 MT. Garfield was the first to leave the Attorney General remaining with the President some little time after his de- parture. The Attorney General has not yet had an opportunity to read and thor oughly digest the full report
 While no formal statement was forth coming with regard to the conference it was stated on author.y that in view of the fact that the -Actorney General has not concluded his examination of the report no conclusions were reached today and no action has been decided on

ALDRlCH PAYS VISIT.
Calls On President Roosevelt at the
 White House.

Washington, May 23.-(Special )-Sen- ator Aldrich, the leader of the Senate republicans, called upon the President to- day. It was the first time since the Rhode Island senator, much to the dis pleasure of the President, turned over the railroad rate bill to Senator Tilman and the democratic members. At that time. Aldrich, with defeat staring him in the face, concluded the best thing he could do would be to even up with the President by making the measure odous through democratic management. The rest is too recent to bear repetition.
 The President surrendered to the AL drich faction and the visit of the Senator to the White House today was probably for the purpose of congratulating the President on his surrender of principle in order to unite the republican party.

 A Result.

Patton, and Theodore N. Ely, chief of motive power.
 A Result.
 As a result of the investigation. minority stockholders of-the Pennsylvania railroad about a more thorough probing through the state legislature. The present investi- gation is limited by the Tillman- Gillespie resolution to the relations of the railroads to the coal and oil industries.
 The entire commission sat for today's hearings. The first witness called was W. A. Patton, assistant to President Cassatt at Philadelphia. He was asked to tell what interest he had in coal companies. Taking list from his pocket, he enumer- ated the various companies fin which he held stock. Concerning the Keystone Coal company shares of which 25O0 were in his name he said he got the stock by purch- ase and through the merging with the Keystone company of smaller companies in which he was interested. Five hundred of the shares he said belonged to his brother J. Howard Patton, who is interested in coal properties in Western Pennsylvania MT. Patton explained that he held stock in five companies which were consolidated with the Keystone and through that transaction secured his holdings in the Keystone company.
 MT. Patton proved an unwilling wit ness when he was questioned about his holdings in the Atlantic Crushed Coke company. The examination resulted in tilt between the witness and Attorney General Glasgow for the commission and caused impatient comment by Mir. Cock Till. MT. Patton accused the lawyer of forming opinions to his business deal- ings, which Glasgow denied. I am only asking you the questions. MT. Patton, he said, q don't know anything about your business"
 The controversy occurred after repeated efforts had been made by MT. Glasgow to draw from the witness positive state ment as to whether he had paid any actual cash for his 400 shares in the company. MT. Patton made an explana- tion to the effect that he became in- terested in the land purchasing company through J. Howard Patton, who repre- scented the interests of Col. George F, Huff When the land was purchased he said, the investors were obligated to pay their pro rata share but as there had been no losses it was not necessary to pay in. cash.

'Were you required to pay anything to- ward the purchase of the land?'
 T stood to lose and had it been nec- essary would have paid my share"
 Senator Coclkrill here interrupted, say ing:
 It seems to mo to be an easy matter for you to say you went into a specula- tive deal; that none of you paid any cash and that the corporation was responsible for the purchase price. l don't see the necessity of beating about the bush"
 AS matter of fact said Chairman Knapp, you took the risk but didn't lose anything"
 'I was an investor" replied the wit ness, "and was treated the same as other investors"
 Concerning the Huron Coal company MT. Patton said he thought he had 800 shares, but was not certain. which he acquired In the same manner as his hold ings in the Atlantic Crushed Coke com pany. He was asked if he ever held stock in the Columbia Coal company. He said he had at it's organization, but it became a selling company instead of an operating company, and he sold his stock to Greensburg, Pa, banking com pany.
 What bank took it?'
 'The Cassatt bank"
