Decrease in Humidity.

The humidity at o'clock this morning
was II, but it fell later, and by noon
was as low as 40. The decrease in the
humidity made the heat much easier to
bear.
Prof Harry c. Frankenf1eld. the wealth
er forecaster here, explained that the in
tense heat which has been felt all over
the world this summer was due to a belt
OF stagnant hot air. $4,000 miles long,
5000 miles wide and forty miles high,
gripping the earth on both sides OF the
equator There will be relief from this
heat as soon as belt of cooler air can
break through the torrid belt.
Prof Frankenfield declared that the hot
belt was due to a peculiar distribution of
atmospheric pressure He said that the
experts at the weather bureau put no
faith In the suggestion that Halley's
comet was the cause of the present SUI
fering from heat.

Made Best Deal Possible.

Representative Bartlett asked Mr.. Per-

ing, about the intrinsic and market val
ue of the Tennessee Coal and Iron stock
at the time of the panic, which Mr. Per-
kins said he thought was less than the
value OF the United States steel second
mortgage per cent bonds.
AS l testified yesterday" said Mr.. Per-
ktns. the trade was made on the best
terms that could be to meet the existing
situation. all things considered"
How long prior to this had the steel
corporation declined to purchase the Ten
nessee company at any price,?
Il don't know that 1t was ever much
discussed. but once or twice two or three
years before the matter of purchasing
Tennessee was suggested to US but we
did not want it, said Mr.. Perkins
WAS Tennessee refused then at s5 5?'
Il don't remember the price"
Did the observance of the law enter
into the refusal to purchase Tennessee
at that timer?
Not at ALL" was the reply. "the steel
corporation was then just rounding out
this property" Mr.. Bartlett asked why,
during the panic, the steel corporation
ohicials deemed IL necessary to submit
the question of Tennessee absorption to
the President OF the United States.
Common Sense Applied.
1T was simply matter of ordinary
good sense" said Mr.. Perkins Just at
that time there was much criticism OF
corporations and agitation, and we
thought IL necessary to get the Presi-
dents view as to what We planned 10

Had the steel corporation consulted
eminent counsel about the legality of
this Transaction Judge Bartlett con-
tinued.
II do not know about that" said Mr.
Perkins, but one of our great troubles
then and now is that We couldn't find any
lawyers who could tell US just what we
could do under the law
