Steel Corporation, but the witness did
not know at the time that the property
was 10 be sold He knew that Nr
Schley was in distress and supposed he
wanted to sell his stock. and had come
and talked enthusiastic as friend
Of Mr.. Schley to help him in that pur-
pose. He had not come representing the
board Of directors or the syndicate stock
holders as he had no such authority, he
said.
In my opinion there was no reason
why the Tennessee Coal and Iron should
lie sold" said the witness, but ] let my
stock go with the rest later on, as / did
not want to remain in a minority in
terest."
Chairman Stanley asked the witness
about the rates paid by the Republic
company 10 the railroads in the Biz
mngham district. Mr.. Topping said he
considered them excessive
Isn't II fact that your company is
now paving from 100000 to $1,000. 600
a year as tribute in excessive freight
rates TO the Hill railroads and the United
states Steel Corporation railroads for the
privilege Of doing business in the Biz
mlngham district" asked Mr.. Stanley.
Mr.. Topping said he could not answer
the question specifically, but he believed
the rates were excessively high and
that too great profits were paid by his
company to the Hill roads and the Steel
Corporation roads for carrying the Re-
public ores He thought the rates
should he adjusted
Have YOU ever made complaint TO
the Interstate Commerce Commission"
he was asked
NO" was the reply.
why not?" asked Mr.. Stanley.
Possibly because the pressure has not
been sufficient TO warrant us IN quar-
relling with our neighbors." said Mr..
Topping.
The Steel Corporation has been
benevolent IN allowing you to live and
pay these excessive rates. has it?" asked
Mr. Stanley.
Il wouldn't put it that way" said -Ir.
Topping: I'VE have lived by our own
efforts"
The witness said the fact had to he
taken into consideration that the rail
roads were large consumers of the steel
product, and the independent dealers
would not care TO make any general at
tack on the railroads for that reason.
He was not saying what they might be
called upon to do in the future, he added.

part Of the Atlantic fleet off the Cape Cod
coast When the Yankton. which Is
serving as a dispatch boat. arrived In
port to-day she reported the occasion.
During last nights maneuvres thick
fog shut in and the war game was called
off, all the ships being ordered to make
for port. The Yankton was proceeding
slowly with her watch doubled when the
fog lifted for a moment and disclosed
submarine running on the surface just
across the Yankton's bows. By quick
work on the Yankton the ship was swung
off sharply 20 port but headed directly
on another submarine that came creeping
out Of the bank Of vapor. \ crash
seemed inevitable. but the ships sharp
prov vas swung around just as the sub
marine slipped BY. scarcely twenty feet
distant. 4 collision in the deep water
so far from shore would in all probability
have meant death TO the crews of the
little underwater fighters. The names Of
the submarines are unknown to the men
on the Yankton.
Despite the shortening Of the work
last night on account Of the weather
conditions there was time enough to
give a test Of the battleship feet against
torpedo boats and submarines. The
YarEton which WAS doing nickel duty
