PERKINS IS LET OFF
STEEL INVESTIGATING COMMIT.
TEE DROPS THE CAMPAIGN
CONTRIBUTION TOPIC.
FIRM IN REFUSAL TO TELL
Subject Rests for Time Being, but
Books of Subsidiary Companies
of Corporation Are
Demanded.

Washington.-Geo w. Perkins,
for many years one of the most proml.
nent figures in American finance, prob
ably will not be asked any more ques-
tons about campaign contributions
and thus will escape citation for con-
tempt before the bar of the house of
representatives by NE Stanley steel
trust committee of inquiry.
The committee decided at a turbu-
lent executive session not to press
questions relating to Mr.. Perkins per-
sonal campaign contributions. The
inquiry into gifts of the New York
Life Insurance company and the Unit
ed States Steel corporation, it was
said, was left in allegiance.
The committees decision not to
press the inquiry into campaign con-
tributions was based on the conclu-
sion that the house resolution did not
give authority to go into this sub
ject. It was said that Representative
Littleton of New York insisted that
the committee would transcend it's
power.
Several members of the committee
asserted that Mr.. Perkins had been
freed only from answering the ques-
tons regarding his personal contribu-
tons and that the matter of the
United States Steel corporation and
the New York Life Insurance com.
pany campaign gift had not been de-
cided finally.
Chairman Stanley and Representa-
tiyes Littleton and Sterling of the
committee and Herbert Knox Smith,
commissioner Of corporations. had a
conference with President Taft at the
White House following the executive
sessions All refused to discuss the
conference.
Chairman Stanley and his associ-
ates, it was learned, had gone to the
White House to ask the president to
release the reports of the commission
er OF corporations on the steel indus
try with view to getting at some Of
the information sought by the inquiry.
