RECEIVERS

Rome, Aug. 8.-Dr. Potacci, his pri-
vate physician, and Dr.. Marchiafava,
consulting physician at the Vatican,
visited Pope Plus today and made a
thorough examination of the patient.
Later they described the condition Of
the pontiff as relatively satisfactory.
His Holiness has suffered a throat
affection, recovery from the weaken
ing effects Of which was retarded to
certain extent by the recent ex-
treme heat. Yesterday he suddenly
exhibited unexpected weakness, ne
cessitating perfect rest. Today's ex-
animation reevaled heart fairly
strong and respiration reasonably
good considering the shortness of
breath common to persons who are
advanced in years and stout. The
pulse was rather intermittent and the
temperature slightly above normal.
Absolute rest for the pontiff has
been ordered.

RAILWAYS Join TO
BEAT ROCK ISLAND
SOUTHERN PAclFIC'S POSITION
IN SOUTHWEST ALSO MEN,
AGED 7Y MOVE

Los Angeles. Aug. S.-A railway
war. the end OF which may be to bot
tie up the Southern Pacific in the
southwest, shut off its direct eastern
connections with the Rock Island and
force it to build new connection
and outlet over the old Durango "cut-
off," took definite shape yesterday
when it was announced that the El
Paso and Southwestern, a Phelps.
Dodge holding, has appropriated
$2,700,000 for the immediate construc-
tion of an extension from Fairbanks,
Ariz., to Tacna. Aligned against each
other in this war which promises to
be the fiercest since the days when
the Harrimans waged battel against
the Salt Lake in the Meadow Valley,
Wash, or since the Santa Fe invaded
the Southwest, are the millions of
Santa Fe, the Rock Island and the
Phelps-Dodge interests and those of
the Hartman interests.
The plans of the Phelps-Dodge in
terests and the Santa Fe, which have
combined to battle against the South
ern Pacific, are even more extensive
than heretofore told. From Tucson it
is planned to build as the crow flies
to Port Lobos on the Gulf of Califor-
MIA and thus give another tide water
terminal to the Rock Island, the
Phelps-Dodge and the Santa Fe lines,
with short cut from the Pacific and
Far East that will be better by a
considerable reduction of distance
than the line now being built by the
Orient railway from Topolobampo on
the gulf to Kansas City and Chicago.

COMMITTEES CHAIRMAN THREAT
EMS TO COMPEL HIM TO
TALK
SUMMONED BEFORE THE HOUSE
EX-TRUST DIRECTOR AND LIFE
INSURANCE PRESIDENT IN
TIGHT PLACE

Washington, Aug, S.-George w.
Perkins, a director Of the United
States Steel corporation, former
chairman of it's finance committee and
former partner of D. P. Morgan and
company, appeared today before the
house committee of inquiry into the
United States Steel corporation
Richard V. Lindabury, counsel for the
steel corporation, accompanied him.
Edgar A. Bancroft, of Chicago, coun-
sci for the International Harvester
company, of which Mr.. Perkins is a
director and chairman of the finance
committee, also was present.
Mr.. Perkins and the committee
were deadlocked over the persistence
of Chairman Stanley of the commit
tee that the witness should answer
questions relating to his participation
in campaign contributions
Chairman Stanley produced a copy
of the minutes of the steel corpora
tons executive committee, showing
that in March. 1912. Mr.. Perkins pro
posed a plan to raise s50.oo0,ooo
without costing the corporation a
cent. The financial achievement was
to have been attained by taking up
about forty per cent of the preferred
stock or about $2O0,OO0,0O0, costing
$14,000,000 a year in dividends at 7
per cent, and to issue instead $780,
100000 of second mortgage five-three
bonds; these would have added $780,
100000 in new money and would have
returned to the corporation $1,500,OOO
year. There was nothing in the
minutes to indicate that the plan had
been carried through although it ap-
parently met with the approval o T
those present at the meeting.
Angered by the continued refusal
of Mr.. Perkins to testify, regarding
campaign contributions, either per
sonally or through his connection with
the New York Life Insurance compa-
ny, Chairman Stanley intimated to
Mr.. Perkins that he had better ap-
pear before the bar of the house at
its next session if he would "avoid
the necessity of the chairman resort
ing to radical authority"
Mr.. Stanley said then it would be
up to the house to determine whether
the committee had exceeded its pow
ers into going into campaign contribu-
tions or whether the witness was in
absofute contempt of congress.

RENEE OF CONGESTION OF
THE KIDNEYS

Paris, Aug. 8.-A recurrence of the
congestion of the kidneys was exper-
fenced by John w. Gates at noon to-
day and it was necessary to admins
ter heart stimulants occasionally.
Last night his physicians stated that
the action of the kidneys continued to
improve and that the inflammation of
the lungs had lessened. This gave
some encouragement. At daylight,
however, the patient showed unfavor-
able symptoms and DR.. Gross was
hastily summoned. He found the
financier suffering from congestion of
the kidneys and though he was able
to afford some relief, the congestion
returned toward the middle of the
day.
