been told, had made trip throughout
the state in the interests of the candidacy
of Mcdowell for speaker Mcdowell was

the house which was dominated over by
Whitesde, giving him control in the Sc

he noted, were selected with great care

to the personnel of other committees. As
an illustration in point he related an
amusing story concerning the chairman
OF the education committee, whose edu-

FRICk AND GARY TO GO BEFORE
THE COMMISSION TUESDAY IN
THE INVESTIGATION OF PRES
IDENT'S ACTION.

WASHINGTON, Jan 30.-When
the special committee of the senate
which is charged with investigation
of the presidents authority for per-
mitting the absorption of the Tennes-
see Coal & Iron Co. resumes its in
quiry on Tuesday, there will be a
number of important witnesses exam
ined. including Judge Gary and III.

Witnesses before the session of the
committee today were Oakleigh
Thorne. president of the Trust Co.
of America. and George w. Perkins
of J. p. Morgan & Co. who is also
a member of the finance committee of
the steel corporation.
The examination of both witnesses
was conducted by Senator culberson.
Mr.. Thorne testified that the Trust
Co. of America has no interest in the
stock of the Tennessee Coal & Iron
Co. as owner, but on November l !,
1907. it had loaned S42S,70O to six
individuals holding the stock at go
as collateral All of the loans, said
Mr.. Thorne. We're paid off in Noyem-
ber with the exception of two of
$52 600 each. Mr.. Thorne said that
/ he considered the security for the
loans TO be good and that his COM
pany had no interest in the absorp-
tion of the Tennessee company by the
steel corporation, and did not know
of the negotiations until after they
were begun. When asked if he had
any personal knowledge of the actual
sale of a majority of the stock of
the Tennessee company in Novem-
ber. 1907, Mr.. Thorne replied:
"All | know is that | delivered my
stoc6 10 j. p. Morgan and company

Senator Overman asked Mr.. Thorne
If at the time of the merger the Trust
company of America was financially
embarrassed. and If so. whether the
merger had a tendency to relieve 1t.
He replied that il had no direct bear
ing on either himself or the COM
pany.
When Mr.. Perkins took the stand,
he said.
The acquisition OF the Tennessee
Coal & Iron Co. by the United States
Steel corporation was never brought
up or broaehed in any way as far as
my knowledge goes. until perhaps the
