as being worth from go to "a at the
time he received them. and being
worth now between 1O2 and l03.
When Mr.. Perkins took the stand,
he said:
"The acquisition OF the Tennessee
Coal and Iron company by the United
States Steel corporation was never
brought up or broachcd in any way as
far as my knowledge goes. until per
haps the second or third acute stage
of the panic developed in New York.
and then II came up very suddenly
because of the series of disturbances
that existed in New York as a result
of the great depreciation in market
values and the unmarketability OF q
great many securities.
Mr.. Perkins said that there was a
general feeling which II would be dill
flcult for any one to express In
concrete statement, that If the Ten
nessee Coal and Iron stocks were
taken out OF the various loans, IN
some way 1t would prevent a great
many failures and avert a spread or
the panic Continuing he said:
Finally some one made sugges-
ton which afterwards worked, but
the corporation might furnish five per
cent second mortgage bonds In lieu
of cash and In this way put In lieu
OF these loans securities that were
marketable"
Mr.. Perkins told of his visit to
Washington by Judge E. II. Gary and
Henry C. Frick for the purpose of see
ing the president.
Practically everything was at a
standstili until we got word from
Washington as to what seemed to be
the feeling there" continued Mr.. Per-

"That was telephoned to me BY
Judge Gary on Monday, about the time
the market opened and the news that
this transaction probably would be
made was given out and had an effect

Attorney General Bonaparte, that
Messrs Frick and Gary had repre-

Culberson asked Mr.. Perkins whether

Planning a House.

~ HERE is a Spanish proyerb to the

huppeps that the man who has built a
house for himself ia inclined to tho be-
lief that the inhabitant Is as big fool
as the builder.
Why is II tbnt the house that has been
specially designed and constructed for

His scope Is limited to the purse OF bis

is frequently the case, the problem Is
further complicated by the demands OF the
clients wife. Its solution becomes almost
impossible.
