New York, Feb. IA mistaken
public opinion, misinformed as to the
facts. because of the publication of
portions II not the whole OF the tes-
timOny of the witnesses before the in
terState commission. and therefore
basing its conclusions upon insufficient
premises, has done grave injustice to
the whole service of the Pennsylvania
Railroad company. The service is of
more than sixty ear growth. 1t is
constituted, in the main. of educated,
trained and sc~lf-respccting men,
whose lives have won the esteem of
those who know them best, ii has its
traditions of loyalty, and it has had.
i'm its successive officers examples of
unselfsh devotion to duty and stead
fast adherence TO the right"
This is in brief, is the report of tn"
special committee appointed by the
board Of directors of the PennsylVa-
MIA Railroad company nearly a year
ago, to examine into the facts con-
neCted with the ownership by officers
and employees Of the company of stock
i'm any company. the holding of which
could affect the performance of their
duty or the company's duty to the
public. The alleged acceptance OF
gFatuitics by employees of the company
was also inquired into by the commit
tee. AS a result of its examination OF
G,DUJ OIllCelS II employees lne COM
mittcc reports it found that 266 had
interests in Goa! or other corporations
or firms. with the exception of fir
teen, al! of these had acquired then
interest by purchases The fifteen adj
mittcd hat they had received gifts Of
shares or interests in various Corpor-
ations. and their names have been re
ported to the presidents of several
railroads for appropriate action.
ON the whole. the report VindiCatos
the officers and -Vindicates the Off
GERS and employees of the Pennsylvania
system. 1t is found that in the deVel-
Opmcnt of the company between the
year 1899 and 1907 the interest of the
stockholders in every instance has
been properly s~afeguarded. 1t is de-
clared that the terms on which in
creascs in share and debt capital have
been marketed have received the
commendation of competent and in
dependent %financiers; that as effective
competition as is possible to work
Of such magnitude vas oIIained in
placing the thousands of contracts
for maintenance Of way; that no fa-
voritism was shown in the purchase Of
supplies OF equipment, and that the
officers of the railroads in all en-
ginecring and construction work
have been as faithful as they were
Sktllful. The committee expresses it,
self as satisfied that the purchasing
department had been administered
with marked ability and fidelity to the
interest of the stockholders.

Boston, Aug 30-Tht fact that the Fair

cludes the Vice President Of the United
States. had less than $50 in its treasury
on the date Of the annual meeting. to
which amount was added a donation OF
slO0 before the meeting closed. has dis

fess to be In grave fear lest the Fair
banks homestead at Dedhan. which was
purchased as Mecca for those who are

The association was formed some years
ago and the popular idea has been that
5000 descendants Of the original Fair
banks were now members. This is not
the fact. There are less than 1000. The
association holds title to the homestead
although its cash payment was only 81, 600
The mortgage is $500. Accrued interest
on this mortgage was paid some time
ago. Another payment will soon be due
To meet this there is now only Sl44 in the
treasury
II was hoped that the dollar member
ship in the association would provide 8
sufficient sum for all needs. However il
was not taken into account that a care
taker would have to be paid and that a
considerable sum would be needed to re-
store the house and make the grounds
presentable. A woman's auxiliary was
formed TO arrange for large fair in
Boston. Twice this fair has been post
poned. Something of the kind. perhaps
will be held in the near future.
J. W. Fairbanks. the new president OF
the association, said to-day:
AT the home coming July 50. the ques-
ton Of finance did not come up officially
It did not seem TO us that the matter
should be considered while the Vice
President was our guest. But at the
banquet In the evening ex-senator Will
son Fairbanks submitted a proposition
for raising $1,000, offering himself to be
one Of eleven different groups to give
fixed amounts. and by the plan assuming
for himself an obligation OF $780,"

This was the result Of a meeting Of the
exposition directors and numerous con-
ferences this afternoon and tonight.
Mr.. Tucker gave out the following In
terview:
My position has been entirely vindi-
Gated. II was made clear that the di-
rector general did not mean TO interfere
with my duties as president Of the expo
sition.

the fact that I am the special head Of
the exposition and that Mr.. Barr is the
business head Of it.

every hand that the prince had never

It was said to-day that Mrs. Barr. wife

suit of the controversy. The whole af-
fair grew out Of a requeSt from Mrs.

her daughters guests. The Bars had not
been invited. They had not been engag-
ing in the social functions with Mrs.
Tucker. and only those who had shown
Mrs. Tucker social cOurtesies were IN
