Wilson Does Not. Ask for Condlsn
Punishment for Wiley.

washington.-It is known here
that Secretary of Agriculture Wilson,
in a report to President Taft, has
recommended that DR., Harvey w.
Wiley, the pure food expert, be adj
monished. but not dismissed. Sec
rotary Wilson, it is understood, de-
clares leniency must be shown DR..
Wiley because of his valued services
to the government in the past and
his usefulness for the future. For
this reason he apparently does not
believe that "condign pupishmen
should be melted out in the case.
Under the recommendation the
President will be able to retain DR..
Wiley in his position, as it has been
believed all the time he would do,
without seeming to ignore the advice
of his attorney general. Thus an
embarrassing situation will be
avoided.

STORY OF APLOT IS DENIED.
Brother Of Max Hanna Tells the
House lnvestlnatina Commits
stss That thu fransaeflsn
Saved the Day.

New York.-No Interior motives
lurked behind the taking over of the
Tennessee Coal and Iron Company by
the United States Steel Corporation
during the financial panic of 1907.
In the opinion of L. 9. Hanna, Of
Cleveland, one of the syndicate own
ers OF the Tennessee concern before
the merger, who spent the day on the
witness-stand -before the Steel Trust
Investigating Committee Of the
House of Representatives That
surreptitious motives had been sug-
gested, Mr.. Hanna, who is a bro
Their of the late Senator Mark Hanna,
admitted, but he never had credited
the reports. He believed the trans
action was necessary to avert the
failure of the New York banking and
brokerage firm of Moore & Schley,
who held too much Tennessee Coal
and Iron stock as collateral for loans,
and to avert wild spreading Of threat
sning business disaster.
In answer to series of questions
by Representative Beall, of Texas,
Mr.. Hanna said. he thought the Con-
gresham belieyed<a plot had been
framed whereby the. Tennessee Coal
and Iron Company would be gobbled
up by the steel interests, but he had
no knowledge of such plot, and did
not credit such an idea.
Before the threatened failure of
Moore & Schley," asked Representa-
tive Beall, had not the United States
Treasury poured $5O,000.000 into
New York to stop the panic?"
Il think So, Mr.. Hanna replied.
Also before that time Mr.. Beall
continued, had not Mr.. J. Pierpont
Morgan and his associates advanced
$60,000,0o0 to relieve. the financial
situation?, p,
Il heard it SO stated said Mr..
Hanna.
After all that the panic was not
averted," Mr.. Bea1l resumed, land
can you tell me why the taking up of
only 100000 in loans on the
Tennessee Coal and Iron collateral OF
Moore & Schley affected that restora-
ton of confidence IN the business
world which the United States Treas
ury and the Morgan millions had
been unable to do?''S
1.-THE only explanation, Mr.. Hanna
replied, after some hesitation, sis
that the panic up to that time had
not reached that character of bust
ness houses which were involved in
this transaction. think from your
line of questions that you believe the
sale OF the Tennessee Coal and Iron
Company was plot. I never thought
so. I still wish / could have held on
to nay stock, but it seemed absolutely
necessary to sell it to avert serious
| trouble"
