CO.. ONFL THEODORE ROOSEVELT
APPEARS BEFORE THE CONNIE -
Declares He Would Have
Been Mere Title If He Had
Not Acted at Once.
AS OPEN AS THE DAY
Was Every Step He Took
Former President Tells
Committee.

NEW YORK. Aug 5.-ColOnel
Theodore Roosevelt took the witness
stand today In the congressional In
quiry into the Steel Corporation to
tell what he knew concerning the
absorption OF the Tennessee Coal
and Iron Company, by the corpora
ton during the panic Of 1907.
His intention to appear had been
kept secret, but few minutes before
his arrival at the city hall, policemen
lined the approaches and were sta
toned in the aldermanic chamber.
He was greeted with enthusiasm, and
after Chairman Stanley had declared
that the former President had not
come in response to subpoena, but
had learned that they desired what
information he had.
Colonel Roosevelt said he had
written the statement he had to mako
and would like to read it.
The Roosevelt statement covered
his entire meeting with F'rick and
Gary, and contained correspondents
with Attorney General Bonaparte
who said the legal situation had not
changed and there was no ground
on which the Steel Corporation could
be prosecuted.
Col. Roosevelt justified his action
by saying had not acted at once
in that extraordinary crisis, should
have been mere title. Every step
I took was as open as the day"

Waters, missionaries who arrived to-
day from China. In one city, Rev.

publican form Of government means
that the premier covets the throne
for himself.
Advices from imperial sources that
the rebel leaders near Hankow take
kindly to the suggestion that the
present form Of government be re-
tanned providing the premier agrees
to the elimination of the Manchus
from the central government, are de-

Perish iDIa Frightful Accident
in Russia.
MEN THROWN INTO ICY WATER
Unfortunate workmen Engaged in Con-
structing Bridge Over Foisa Near
kaZ0n.

st. Petersburg, Dec Sit is
believed that between $50 and 20O
lives have been lost by the collapse
of a railroad bridge over the Volga
river near Kazan. The bridge was in
course of construction and was filled
with workmen, when without warn
ing the supports gave way and the
men were precipitated into the icy
waters.
Only half dozen bodies have been
recovered and the authorities eX-
press the hope that some Of the men
NAV have been able to save them
selves by grasping cakes of floating
ice.
r Troops have been dispatched to
both sides Of the river to search for
bodies and to rescue any of the men
who may be still alive. Pressure OF
ice against the weakened supports OF
the bridge is believed to have caused
the disaster.
Until roll of the workers is called
it cannot be determined how many
were on the structure at the time it
fell. Labofers however. declare that
200 men were thrown into the riv-
er and they believe that most Of
them have perished.

RUSSIA IN THE
GRIP Of FAMINE.
50,OO0,OO0 TonsHShortage in Crops.
Terrible Distress. MANY
Perishing.
EATING ACORNS AND SHRUBS
People Eating Doss-Hundreds OF Chill
dren Dying From Want-starvion
Staring Thousands in ihe Face.

st. Petersburg, Dec. S.--Russia Is
in the grip of famine that threatens
to claim more lives than that of
1891 when 100000 died. The Free
Economic Society estimates the crop
shortage at 50,O00,OOO tons.
In Ufa hundreds of children have
lived for months on acorns, but even
these are almost exhausted. In the
Samara province the people are eat
ing dogs and shrubs while scores are
dying of starvation.
Officials have prohibited the organ
ization of private relief societies, fear
ing political propaganda. In some
districts the police have forbidden
the papers to raise funds or to men
ton the famine. Even the Central
Zemstvo organization has received
orders to attempt no relief.
The Bureaucracy, as usual, per-
sists in minimizing the situation, the
premier maintaining that the govern
ment is taking adequate measures.
The situation has provoked heated
debates in the Duma where the op-
position, bitterly assailing the gov
ernment, demands the dismissal of all
the governors of the affected prov
inces
