EX.PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
CLAIMS HE WAS JUSTIFIED,
His Action ia Approving Steel Corporation
Deal Stopped Panic of l9O7==A Volnn-
tary Witness, He Talks Freely and
Fully with the Committee.

New York, aug. 6.-Theodore Roose-
welt stalked boldly before the House of
Representatives committee of inquiry
into the United States Steel Corpora
ton here Saturday and voluntarily
told how his action in consenting 10
the absorption of the Tennessee Coal
& Iron Co. by the Steel Corporation
in 1907 ayerted a disastrous panic in
this country.
The former Presidents action in
submitting 10 a congressional review
of acts of his own administration was
almost unprecedented in the history of
the United States, and was thoroughly
Rooseveltian. He arrived unheralded
at the City hall, vigorously shook the
hands of members of the committee,
declared himself delighted to see ev-
erybody, and got down to business.
COL, TAKES RESPONSIBILITY
First and foremost he placed upon
himself the responsibility for approx
ing of the absorption on the ground
that it was TO prevent a perilous sit
uation in Wall street. and then he
launched out into a condemnation of
any man who would be so weak as not
to act as he did in that crisis Not
to have done as he did. he said, would
have been criminal.
Probably nothing occurring in the
vigorous life Of Theodore Roosevelt
was more dramatic than his public
appearance Saturday at the crisis of
the investigation of the transaction
Whleh has been recorded in hundreds
of pages of congressional inquiry.
The chapter he contributed not only
dealt with his part in the momentous
events OF that threatening time. but
ne gave the committee some interest
ing Opinions on the trust question.
After declaring his object in sane
tioning the sale of the Tennessee com
pahy was 70 restore confidence, the
American people thinking they had
right to be confident in their institu-
lions, the former President said in re-
Spouse to inquiries by Representative
Llttleton, relating to the case as pre-
sehted 10 him by Judge Gary and II.
