Tennessee Company to the
Steel Trust

New York, Aug. 3.-John A. Top
ping, former chairman of the board of
directors of the Tennessee Coal and
Iron company, told the Stanley steel
trust committee of inquiry today that
he was not in favor of the plan of
Oran B. Schley to sell the Tennessee
company to the United States Steel
company in 1907. "My mind was
rather passive on the question:" said
Topping. 81 saw no reason from my
viewpoint to sell the property. From
Schley's viewpoint l could see rea-
sons why he should want to sell, and
aided him, at his request, to the
extent of explaining to Lewis Ledyard
Cass the advantages of the property.
In these remarks l did not report
myself nor the syndicate. merely
was explaining the property as a favor
to Schley."
"Were you member of the second
Tennessee syndicate described by
Schley yesterday" asked Chairman
Stanley.
II never heard of it until Schley
spoke of the second syndicate yester-

COMMITTEE HAS
WHITES STORY
Explained His Disposition Of
His $1,000 and the 5000
Jackpot

Washington, Aug. 3.-Charles A.
White. the Illinois legislator, who
claims he was bribed to vote for Will
liam Lorimer for senator, completed
his three days. story on direct exam
ination before the senate Lorimer
committee today. He has yet to
mer in cross examination, which
promises to be as extended as the
direct examination.
Most of the day was devoted to tell
ing how he spent the $1,000, Lori
mer money" and the 5000, Jackpot"
money which White claims he receiv-
ed and in relating his attempts to
have his so-called confession print
ed. At the end of the day, the
manuscript was put in evidence.
The story told at the first Lorimer
inquiry was varied by repeated fusil-
ladies' Of questions from the commit
tee as to Whites alleged public spir-
tied motive in accepting the bribes
and then exposing them. White stuck
to his testimony that he was working
all the time for the good of the pub
lie. 1t was also varied by differences
with the testimony of James Kelley,
general manager of the Chicago Tri-
bune, as to the price which White
asked for his Confession" manus-
cript. White testified today that he
only asked $1,000 and not $4,000 or
$4,000.
He told how he objected to the con-
tract because it said he Offered to
SELL" his story to the Tribune. White
said he did not offer to sell it but he
could not tell Senator Jones what
words he would have used to de-
scribe what he had done. The wit
ness said he was told that these
words made no difference any way.
He said he went to the Tribune with
his manuscript because Edwin R.
Wright, president of the Illinois state
federation Of labor, suggested he see
Editor Mccormick of that paper.
White complained that he did not
have counsel when he made the con-
tract and that he was placed in Gus
tody the very night he signed 1t and
kept in custody for nearly eight
months. When he protested against
1t. White said the officers told him
they had papers that might surprise"
him. He testified that he heard
States Attorney Wayman Of Cook
county Illinois tell the officers to keep
him in charge, and that he had heard
that Wayman had the officers take
him on trips to Wisconsin, Minnesota
and Michigan, SO as to keep him from
appearing before the Sangamon coun-
ty grand jury. At times White said
four officers were with him.
In telling of Of visits to the homes
Of other members Of the legislature
to get evidence to support his manus-
cript, then unpublished. White said
that Detective Turner. who went with
him for the Chicago Tribune, as he
understood. told Representative MI

governor" White testified about tell
ing both Link and Representative Jos.

q 9 honor shall notsbe subject to ar

bitration.
It remained for American diplomat
lists to hit upon the solution Of the
problem Of providing for judicial
settlement Of keen international dis
putes without offending the pride of
the principals. This was done by the
creation Of the Commission Of in
quiry," the novel feature of the treat
les signed today.
This commission Is to be made up
of representatives Of the two govern
ments interested, who are members of
The Hague court. In the first place,
singular to say, this commission is
charged with the duty of preventing
an arbitration II possible. 1t must
first investigate the differences be-
tween the two countries involved,
and. II possible, recommend a settle
ment that will preclude the necessity
of arbitration. Either of the govern
ments interest may cause the COM
mission to delay q report of its find
ings for one year.
But there may be cases where the
two nations honestly disagree. That
is where the commission of inquiry
is to prove it's value, for If, after care
full study, 1t should decide that the
difference should be arbitrated, each
Of the parties to the treaty binds it.
self to accept that judgment and then
the issue must be submitted to The
Hague tribunal, unless by special
agreement some other tribunal is
created or selected.
To save the constitutional treaty
making power of the United States
senate, 1t is specially provided that
the terms of submission of the issue
to arbitration shall be subject to the
advice and consent of that body.
In other words, while the senate
cannot defeat the purposes of the
general treaty by refusing arbitration,
1t can exercise great control over the
outcome by regulating the conditions
of the adjustment. AS it Is regarded
as only fair to the other nation that
1t shall likewise have means of pro-
tecting itself from. an indiscriminate
arbitration, it is provided that the is
sue shall be submitted to the selected
tribunal only after, through an ex-
change of notes, the principals have
come to a thorough agreement as to
the limitations to be imposed.
1t is the intention of the president
and Secretary Knox to follow the ac-
ton taken today by negotiating like
conventions with as many of the
great powers as are willing to enter
into similar arrangements. Already
progress has been made in preparing
for such treaties with Germany. The
Netherlands and Sweden, and there is
reasonable expectation that Japan

No great confidence is expressed by
senator's in the speedy ratification of
the British-American arbitration
treaty. The question has been in
formally discussed among members
Of the foreign relations committee
and some expressed the opinion that
it is technically defective In the meth
DDS provided for bringing subjects
before the arbitration tribunal. Po-
litical objections also have been pre-
sented to individual senators and it
is believed that on the eve of ma
tional campaign the question of rati-
fication will receive deliberate atten-
tion. In case of adjournment next
week 1t would be difficult to procure
action during the present session on
either of the compacts.

Dillingham;.
"No," replied White. "That is. l

One letter from White to Lorimer

about to publish his exposure and had
been offered 81 word for his 10000
word manuscript. Lorimer replied, Il
would be very glad indeed to know
of your success as an author.

Superior, Wis, Aug. 3.-Lassooing
a moose from row boat and then
tying the animal up to tree on
shore, was the unusual experience of
Col. Hill of Quincy, Ills. and J. p.
Cheever Of Brookings, S. D., who are

the calves which towed them some
distance, finally changing his course
to the island.
AS the moose dashed to shore Col
Hill tied him to a nearby pine tree,
but the moose finally broke loose and
he vanished in the forest.

The Nation Is Without a Pro-,

Government
TWO RIVAL REVOLUTIONARY
PARTIES N PORT AL PRINCE
Looting Followed Flight Of President
Simon But Committee Of Public
Safety Used Heroic Measures and
Suppressed It.

Port Au Prince, Aug. 3.-Haiti is to-
day without president or an organ
ized government. The capital is occu-
pied by two rival revolutionary par
ties headed respectively by Cincin-
natus Leconte, former minister of the
interior, and Gen. Antenor Firmin,
who deserted his post as Haiten min
lister to Great Britain to join the rev.
olution against President Simon.
German and British marines have
been landed to aid the provisional
authorities in preserving order. Dur
ing the night there were attempts at
pillaging and 1t was necessary to
shoot several Of the looters. Ener-
getic measures prevented any serious
outbreak.
Following the debarkation Of Presi-
dent Simon late yesterday there was
an attempt to pillage the business
house of Makhlouff and company, the
propr!etOrs Of which are Syrians. The
attempt was put down by force under
the direction Of the committee of pub
lic safety and four of the rioters were
shot on the spot. Some of the soldiers
refused to lay down their arms when
ordered to do SO and there were oc-
casional conflicts between the soldiers
and the civilians.
It is estimated that forty persons
were killed during the occupation of
the city by revolutionists and the SUBJ
sequent rioting.
At 10 o'clock last night a band Of
armed men made an attack on the
custom house and also attempted to
raid some nearby houses. The attack
was met by force of police and SOL
diers under the command Of Tan
crede Auguste, member Of public
committee Six Of the pillagers were
shot and this put an end to the OUT
break.
At an early hour the American
schooner John Paul, which was lying
alongside the dock, was threatened
by the mob who believed probably
that some political refugees were
aboard. The committee of safety dis
persed the mob. The Chester was
nearby but no action on the part of
the warship was required.

however, say that he threatened to
Clear the decks for action" and tell
all he knew.
I And in the afternoon the govern
or's office also insisted that the
charges had been turned over to
Simpson, according to the regular
procedure Of business, and that there
was no intention in the Peterson let
ter to stir up rumpus Of any kind
or to intimidate the attorney general.
One Sentence Stirs Simpson.
One sentence in this letter espe-
.stally rolled Simpson, it was said.
Replying to Peterson's sarcastic de-
mEnd that the charges be returned,
the governor said: There is no dis
position in this Office to retard the
investigation of the HAGEN charges" {"
That stuck under Simpsons collar,
witnesses aver, causing considerable
wrath, but the wrinkles and the
rankings were entirely smoothed out,
1t was said, when Wheelock explain
ed in the conference that the sent
ence was merely formal statement
and that what the governor really
meant was improper disposition"
It also developed in the conference,
so 1t was said later, that Simpson
then persisted In insisting upon the
withdrawal of the letter, but that he
was told that no one. outside of the
governor himself, had authority to
do so. Whether this will be done
will not be determined until the gov
ernor returns from his eastern trip
next week.
Simpson Wins Point.
Meanwhile Simpson will address q
letter to the governor, stating that,
in his opinion and in the opinion OF
the state fire marshal's office, it
would be more advisable to hold the
Hazen charges until after the Dumas
trial. So the attorney general has
practically won his point, though he
stirred up quite fuss in doing It.
No secret is made at the capitol
of the fact that Dumas friends are
behind the charges filed against
Sheriff Hazen and are anxious to get
him out Of the way. Though claim
ing that they are not standing spon-
sor for the Beltrami official or
vouching for his good qualities. the
state fire marshal's Office insists that
he has been playing square" in their
dealings with him.
