of the Associated Press, about that in terview, and if he had not attempted to justify the interview by explaining that unless interest was centered upon the Knickerbocker Trust company and the Trust Company of America all the banks would be involved"
 MT. Perkins said he talked 10 MT. Stone frequently during the panic, but that he had attempted to justify any thing he had not done, he said, was impossible.
 When MT. Beal questioned MT. Per kins again concerning the bond con- version plan whereby $200,000,000 of preferred stock was converted into $250, 900 of second mortgage per cent bonds, the witness produced a statement he had prepared on that sub- ject
 He explained that money was needed, shortly after organization of the cor poration. to carry on improvements of the subsidiary companies and that it was impossible to use money out of the surplus for this purpose. After dis- cussing several methods suggested for raising money, MT. Perkins, In his state ment, said:
 Tt was finally found impossible to se- cure a pledge of the entire $200, coo of preferred stock, but the best that could be done was to organize syndicate that would agree to the following, viz:
 "First-Purchase and lodge with J. P. Morgan & Co. sS0,000,000 of preferred stock.
 "Second-Agree to exchange all of this or only 40 per cent of 1t at the option of the steel corporation for second mortgage bonds.
 'Third-Take second mortgage bonds from the Steel corporation at par in ex- change for s2O,0000O in cash.

Allow 4 Per Cent Commission

For this the Steel corporation was 10 allow said syndicate per cent commits
 sion on all the bonds it took In exchange for stock and 1 per cent commission on all tbe bonds 1t took at par for cash. so
 that the transaction stood in the end in
 that form, viz: if sS0,0O0, 000 bonds were is- sued for stock and $20, 0000 coo bonds were
 issued for cash, the Steel corporation would have paid to the syndicate per cent on sl00,OOo0O0. or s4,000,00o, and ]. Pierpont Morgan & Go would have re- ceived for guaranteeing the whole s100, 000.000 for handling the syndicate and the securities and for finding a market on be- half of the syndica te,-one- fifth of $4,000, GOO, or $500 600. The contract moreover, was made subject to the approval of the | stockholders
 "The Steel corporation reserved the
 right to offer to every preferred stock
 holder in the corporation the option to
 subscribe for these new bonds to the
 extent of 40 per cent of his preferred
 stock. In view of the fact that the
 Steel corporation had made this con tract with the syndicate, If every pre- ferred stockholder exercised his right and took the 40 per cent of bonds In exchange for his stock, the syndcate
 would be placed In the condition where it would only get $20,000,000 of It's $S0, 100000 preferred stock converted
 into bonds and would be left with s4s,-
 000.000 of the preferred stock on it's | hands, although 1t pledged itself to | tie up this ss0,000,000 of stock for IS ] months and could not sell it or in any way dispose of it, no matter what be-
 came of the price of the stock or what | became of business conditions in the country or how much any syndicate subscriber might need the funds. Tn consideration of all this risk the | syndicate was given the right to re-
 ceive a commission of per cent on such bonds as were issued to pre- I ferred stockholders not members of the syndicate. The $1o.OOO. 900 maximum to
 the syndicate can only be received by it, provided the entire transaction of
 purchasing $20o,0ooooo of preferred stock and retiring it and then issuing | 1t and placing on the markets 4260,- 000.000 of second mortgage bonds at par is completed and consummated Tt is true that the money could have
 been raised by stopping dividends on the preferred and common stock for one year or on the common stock alone for two years and a half. This course was deem- ed unfair to the stockholders and par | ticularly to the holders of common stock
 which stock was held by thousands of | small holders
 | The committee today also determined to
 demand that the Steel corporation pro.
 duce books of the subsidiary companies
 which 1t has refused to give up and in-
 structed the chairman to take legal steps
 to procure them at the close of thu
 session. Chairman Stanley announced | that the committee would not probe
 further into the affairs of the Harvester company and it's relation with the Stee
 trust at this time because he had beer
 reliably informed that the department O
 justice intended to take action along tha Il line.
 MT. Perkins will appear before the com mittee again tomorrow.

CHILDREN TAKEN
 VIOLENTLY ILL Smallest of Three Children Dies of Illness Puzzling
 the Doctors

Florence, August Especial. )-The attending physicians are puzzled ovei the peculiar case of three children oi MT and Mrs. John Parrish, Il miles west of Florence, who were stricken at noon yesterday with symptoms resem- bling those of malarial congestion. The children are, respectively, 10 and years, and II months old.
 They were stricken practically at the same minute and the baby died at p. m. before a physician could be se- cured. The eldest child was critically ill at an early hour this morning with slight chance for recovery. The swear old child will probably recover.
 Dr. Will Turner of Oakland and pr. P. S. Boyd of Florence arrived After the death of the baby and applied rem edies to the other two. It is not be- lieved by them that the children se- cured any poison and they think there is nothing in the neighborhood tend ing to produce violent malaria. The physicians are completely puzzled over the cases, all three being stricken at the same time.
