WITHHOLD FACTS
IN STEEL PROBE
Committee Decides Not to Press
Demand for Contribution
Statement.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-The Steel
Trust investigating committee at an
executive session today decided not to
press at this time questions of cam
paign contributions in connection with
which George W. Perkins, of New
York. a director of the United States
Steel Corporation. was yesterday
threatened with contempt proceedings
before the House of Representatives.
The committee decided to require the
Steel Corporation to produce the books
of subsidiary. companies
The committees decision not to press
the inquiry into campaign contribu-
tions was based on the conclusion that
the House resolution did not give au-
thority to go into those matters. 1t
was said that Representative Littleton,
of New York, insisted that the commit
tee would thus transcend its powers.

Says Improvements Are
Badly Needed.

The cutting down of the appropria-
tion for the City Hospital from S173,000
to $160,000 by the finance committee OF
the Common Council has stirred up a
rumpus as to whether the action Is a
just one or not.
Dr. James T. Wrightson. chairman OF
the City Hospital Committee of the
Board of Health. has declared that the
appropriation asked for the hospital is
absolutely necessary and has threat
ened to resign unless the money Is fur
nished the hospital. He had an inter
view with Mayor Haussling yesterday
and was told that there would be no
lack of funds for the carrying on of
the work of the hospital.

view with a reporter for the Evening
