"Open Hearth Process VIII sup
plant Bessemer, and That Within
Ten Years the "open Hearth" VIII
Be Superseded BY Electric Method.
Washington. Dec. 6.-Disagreeing
with the published views Of Andrew
Carnegie with regard to the steel
schedule OF the tariff. Charles NJ
Schwab former president Of the Unit
ed States Steel corporation. gave valu-
able testimony before the house ways
and means committee at the tariff
hearing.
While he practically admitted that
the conditions which existed nine
years ago would have permitted re-
duction in the steel schedule at that
time. he said that the cost OF every
item entering into the ma fracture Of
steel rails had increased to such an
extent that the present conditions
must be changed to permit OF tariff re-
ductiOn.
in FIVE years there will not be a
Bessemer steel converting works left
In the United States" Mr.. Schwab pre-
dicted. "Bessemer steel will be of no
use. The same Is true of structural
steel as well az rails They will all be
made by the open hearth" process OF
manufacture. Costly changes in the
construction of the plants will be ne
cessary to make the Improvements in
the method of manufacture.
Mr.. Schwab also declared that with.
in ten years the open hearth pro
cess would be superseded by the cleo
trio system of manufacture which was
being developed in Germany.
These changes in the process Of
manufacture increase the quality OF
the steel" he continued. but they also
slightly increase the cost OF produc-
ton
Mr.. Schwab said he was not In favor
Of any change in the tariff on steel
and steel products. "A moderate
change would not make a material diff
ference" he said, but a radical
change might do considerable harm.
He admitted that the tariff could be
taken of iron ore without affecting
the value OF the Messaba ore OF THE
country. Mr. Schwab stated that the
Bethlehem Steel company. OF which he
X president. imports all OF its iron
ore from Cuba.
Chairman Payne. OF the committee,
began cross fire OF questions by ask
Ing MIR. Schwab about a letter which
had been referred to by a previous
witness This letter was written by
Mr. Schwab to Henry c. Frick on May
l6. 1899. and said that rails were being
made for less than sl2 ton. or nearly
81 n ton less than the cost In Eng
land.
In the letter Mr. Schwah predicted
that the Carnegie Steel company. OF
which he was then president would
be able TO increase It's net earnings
10 $4,000. 900 a month and said It could
sell all its surplus production abroad
at a profit nearly equal to the profit
on domestic sales
Mr. Schwab gave a detailed state
ment Of the cost Of making pig iron
and steel rails. which indicated that
the present coat 81 manufacturing pig
iron is s14 a ton. as compared with S
a ton in 1899: while the cost OF ST 81
rails today is s2l.50 a ton. as compared
with s12 a ton nine years ago.

New York. Dec. 16.-The World. in
the course Of its answer to President
Roosevelt's references to that paper
in his special message to congress-
says:
"Mr. Roosevelt is mistaken. He can
not muzzle the World.
"While no amount of billingsgate on
his part can alter our determination
to treat him with judicial impartiality
and scrupulous fairness. we repeat
what we have already said. that the
congress OF the United States should
make a thorough Investigation OF the
whole Panama transaction. that the
full truth may be known TO the Amerl'
can people.
THE World likewise appreciates
the Importance and significance of Mr..
Roosevelt's statement when he de-
clares TO congress that the proprietor
of the World should be prosecuted for
libel by the governmental authorities
and that the attorney general has I'M
der consideration the form under
which the proceedings against Mr.. Pu'
liter shall be brought
Calls Il Doctrine Of Les Majesty.
This is the first time a president
ever asserted the doctrine OF lese ma
jesty. or proposed. in the absence OF
specific legislation. the criminal pros
ecution by the government OF citizens
who criticised the conduct OF the gov
eminent or the conduct Of individuals
who may have had business dealings
with the government. Yet Mr.. Roose-
welt. in the absence of Law. officially
proposes to use all the power OF the
greatest government on earth to Grip
pie the freedom OF the press on the
pretext that the government Itself has
been libelled-and he is the govern
ment.
ut Is true that the World printed
the public reports concerning the Pan
anna canal AFFAIR which resulted from
William Nelson Cromwells appeal TO
the district attorneys Office during the
recent campaign to prevent the publ
cation of a story which was said TO be
in the hands OF the Democratic ma
tional committee. 1t was Mr.. Crom-
wells own action which raised the Is
sue In the campaign.
No Evidence Against Robinson.
~~~fhe World has never said that
Charles P. Taft or Douglas Robinson
made any profits whatever. Mr.. Taft
denied that he was concerned in the
transaction in anS way. which denial
the World published and accepted 1t
would have been equally glad to print
Mr.. RobinsOn's denial, could 1t have
succeeded in obtaining one from him
as 1t frequently attempted. The World
has no evidence that he was associated
with Mr.. Cromwell. and would accept
his word to that effect. for Mr.. Robin
son is an estimable gentleman Of high
character, whose reputation for verac-
ity Is infinitely better than that of his
distinguished brother-in-law.
"If the World has libelled anybody
we hope It will be punished, but We do
not intend TO be intimidated by Mr..

velt's denunciation or by Mr.. RoOse-
velt's power.
