PARIS, Aug. Sit is expected
that both the French and German
governments will take a hand In
clearing the mystery surrounding
the drowning of Mile. Lucie Lam
telme, the famed beauty of the
Partisan stage. Mile. Lantelme,
the wife of M. Edwards, million
aire newspaper owner of Paris,
was said to have fallen off her
husbands yacht, which was cruis-
ing on the Rhine. There had
been a merry party aboard and
champagne flowed freely.
How or when the beautiful
actress met her death in the
water has been carefully guarded
by the members OF the party.
At the time of King Manuel's
expulsion from Portugal it was
reported that Greece would get
rid of King George for the same
sort OF reason. It was said
that George spent too much of his
time entertaining Mile. Lantelme
in Paris. The dead actress was
the daughter of poor peasant par
ents, but for years past she set the
fashion of Paris and was one of
the real queens of the European
stage. .

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-Accept-
ing full responsibility for the
absorption of the Tennessee Coal
& Iron company by the steel trust
during the panic of 1907, Col.
Theodore Roosevelt today told the
Stanley investigation committee
that the merger was necessary to
save the country from financial
calamity"
"AI Of the information 1 had" !"
Roosevelt declared, "leads me TO
believe that not only was my ac-
ton justified, but that I would
have been criminal had 1 failed
to take such action"
The colonel admitted, however,
that at the time of the merger he
had no information as to the I'M
mense holdings of the Tennessee
company, which gave the steel
trust a practical monopoly.
Explains Big Deal.
"Frick and Gary said they
urged the steel corporation to
acquire the Tennessee company"
the colonel said, because It's Sc
curities were assets in at least one
large trust company which they
believed would fail II something
were not done. The securities
had no market value at the time.
They were willing to purchase the
stock for the corporation.
Col. Roosevelt was drawn into
a discussion of trusts with Stan
ley.
"You will never bust the trusts
by splitting them up and expect
ing them to compete with each
other" said T. r. "The national
government should exercise more
strict control over corporations"
"I believe" Stanley commented,
chat we should at once proceed
to divorce the steel corporation
from every common carrier. I
would prevent any director of the
steel corporation being a director
of any railroad"

the table with his fist.
"Then," Stanley continued. II

Quoted properly"
"I agree with you thoroughly"
Roosevelt acquiesced. II would
even go further. favor the gov
ernment exercising direct control
over these big business corpora
tons"
Roosevelt declared he believed
the information given him by
Frick and Gary was essentially ac-
'curate.
