ROOSEVELT To
Be A WITNESS
Morgan Alss to Appear in
Steel Investigation.

Washington, June 14-The declara-
ton is made by Chairman Stanley that
the committee investigating the steel
trust would summon any one-be he
the president of the United States or
J. P~iefpont Morgan-in order to ascer-
tain how certain railroads declare
enormous dividends on small capital
lzahon. 1t is probable ex-President
Roosevelt and Mr.. Morgan will be ask
ed to appear before the committee
when it holds sessions In New York.
II think the two gentlemen ought to
appear before this committee" sug-
gested Representative Young of Michi-
gan, a Republican member.
If Colonel Roosevelt Is called before
the committee he will be questioned
relative to his knowledge of the trans
action by which the steel corporation
acquired q controlling interest In the
stock of the Tennessee Coal and Iron
company.
Indications are that Mr.. Morgan will
not be invited to appear before the
committee until early IN the fall upon
his return from Europe. At that time
Andrew Carnegie will be heard.
The Stanley committee plans to meet
in New York at an early date. The
date of the New York hearing will de-
pend upon the length Of the debate on
the wool bill. When this measure Is
passed, which will be some time next
week, the committee will be ready to
the date of It's New York
hearing.
Two witnesses appeared before the
committee. They were James Gayley,
a former vice president of the steel
corporation, and Frank P. Kellogg,
who represented the government In
the Standard Oh cases. Mr.. Gayley's
testimony covered a wide range Of at
fairs Of the corporation. He was ques-
toned about the Gary dinners, the
company's available supplies of ore
and the conduct Of its railroads.
Mr.. Kellogg's appearance was volun-
tary. He was prompted to ask for a
hearing or account Of the publication
Of reports that he had attempted to
evade testifying and that powerful In
fuences were at work to induce the
committee to excuse him from appear
ing.

POWERS UNITE
TO GET CASTRO.
Formar Venezuelan Presi-
dent Located After Hunt.

Washington, June 14.-Former Pres
ident Castro of Venezuela has been To-
Gated after a. telegraphic hunt lasting
several weeks on board the steamship
Consul Grostuck, an obsolete gunboat
| formerly owned by the Italian govern
ment, which now Is at Port de Paix,
Haiti. He is undoubtedly on his
way back to Venezuela to stir mp e
revolution against the present gov
trnment there. The state department
will promptly take steps to thwart his
plans. This Is the second time Castro
has endeavored to return to Venezuela
since he was depOsed several years
ago. On his former attempt he sue
ceeded in getting as far as Martinique.
AS he was able to go ashore, however,
the French authorities declined to al
low him to land and he right about
faced for Europe. Since his former
attempt to return to Venezuela Castro
has lived at the Canary Islands. Sew
eral weeks ago he disappeared. At the
anne time reports became current of
a prospective revolution against the
Venezuelan government for the pur-
pose of restoring Castro to power.
Secretary Of State Knox was especi-
ally anxious to locate Castro and to
prevent his return to Venezuela. In
structions were sen to all consular
and diplomatic officers to try to locate
him. officers Of the state department
have no doubt that all the interested
European and American powers will
cooperate as was done several years
ago to keep Castro out Of Venezuela
and to prevent him from starting q

tain League schedule.
Walla Walla cinohed the game on
Pelland's error at second, in Walla

the bases loaded and two down. he
muffed an infield fly from Lankards

tucked away, Walla Walla had milled
around the circuit four times the score
standing 6 to /.
Despite the fact that cold, raw
wind was blowing dust into the faces
of the players, the game was of the
snappy variety from start to finish.

up against WaIla Walla's six weeks

AURORA MINES
REPORTED SOLO

1t is said on good authority that
the Tonopah Mining company has
made the first payment on the
Aurora group of claims and will
commence active development Of
the same in the near future. 1t is
asid the first payment of $4,000
has been made. The group Of
mining claims taken over cover
nearly 400 acres Of mineral
groind. In the early COS and up
to sd, these mines were worked
continuously ard many million $
dollars taken from them and
added to the worlds output of the
precious metals. When the mines
closed it was on account of the
excessive cost of pumping the
water from the lower leves. AT
that time steam was the power.
Today there is an abundance of
electric power, the wires passing
through the town of A3rUra aud
on to Fairview and Wonder. The
mining engineers who have lcen
sampling and develop irg the
property for the past two years
find that there is an abundance of
low grade gold ore that can be
mined and milled for about 50 per
ton and that the known ore bodies
will keep 100 stamps dropping for
a half century.

owners to build ono Of the largest
