torneys for the Duluth. Mesaba and Northern had issued the orders.
 Mr. Cotton says he regrets Chairman Stanley on his visit to this city did not take sufficient time to get the truth and the whole truth. In his statement MT. Cotton further says:
 q hereby notify you that any state ment by Martz before your committee that either George w. Murray or I ever requested or advised, or required Martzs friends to pad any report is an unualified and malicious falsehood. Permit me to add Mr Martz was chief engineer of the railroad until 1899 when he was removed by the local management for incompe- tency
 "Ouly two proceedings were instituted attacking the ore rates of the railroaus and these were brought before the Min nesota railroad commission. Voluminous testimony was taken at Duluth Cleve- land, St. Paul and elsewhere. The com plainants employed and used competent and experienced railroad engineers real estate and other land experts. One of the questions involved was the cost of re- producing the railroad stocks. rolling stock and equipment as of the time of the suits and not exceeding the original cost.
 'The estimates of cost of reproduction of the Mesaba were prepared and were concurred in by said Martz and support ing these estimates were expert witnesses. The hearing was all summer and volun- tarily dismissed November 26, 1898 by the complainants.'
 Mir Cotton refers to Martz as a dis gruntled discharged employe, obviously seeking cheap notoriety. He concludes:
 Please file this telegram with your committee and if further testimony is taken and the Martz testimony is not stricken out I demand the opportunity o show it's falsity."
 This was signed Joseph B. Cotton.

Merritt Replies

Washington, November 25.-Replyirg to the statement of the Rev. Fred T. Gates in which he emphatically denied all the charges made by the Merritt brothers before the House steel com mittee, Leonidas Merritt tonight de- clared he had heard it all before. and 1t was easily to be seen that MT. Gates was more familiar with the ledgers of MT Rockefeller than with the Bible for the reason that his mind for years had been fixed on cash on earth rather than treasures in heaven"
 "It is not be expected" said MT. Mer- ritt, that man who made such a proposition to me as did MT. Gates would admit it. All this palaver of Rockefeller's generosity is familiar. l have heard 1t before.
 He indicated nowhere in the vol- luminous statement and can't show any particular desire to appear before the Stanley committee and explain under oath how l misrepresented him.
 There is one other little thing that he failed to explain or deny and that 1 is that I spent a few months in New York in close communication with MT Rockefeller and MT. Gates, and during that time they managed to get posses sion of 90,000 shares of stock that MT Rockefeller, according to the Rev Gates, a few years later, turned over to the Steel corporation, as I recall it at S20S per share, and I returned pen niless. because a few hundred thousand dollars he loaned me was, as he knew l put back into the property which he
 himself later assimlated.'

County Superintendents

'eThe office of county superintendent is the most important factor in the admin istration of the public schools in this state. The diligence with which these officials discharge their duties and their efficiency as supervisors determine in a large measure the standard maintained in the rural public schools. Most of the county superintendents have recognized the vital importance of their relation ship to the schools and to the teachers. They are giving more and more of their time and Iabors in discharging the i'm portant trust committed to their hands. For their faithful efforts and the uni form courtesy which they have always extended to the state department of ed- ucation and to me, personally, I am deeply grateful

time of the invention of printing. 1t
begins with the earliest Hebrew Bible
known, a Pentateuch of the Ninth CEN

Bible in this country-the great Cordex
lAlcxandrinus of the Fifth century, to-
gether with photographs OF the only
two Greek Bibles in existence. which
are of earlier date
The second section of the exhibition
will be found An the Kings library
This consists Of printed Bibles.
No fewer tltah sixty-one volumes
are on view and include practically
every edition of importance and in
tcrest. They are all the property of
the British museum, with the single
exception of the copy of the octave of
1yndale's first New Testament, which
is kindly lont by the committee Of the
Baptist college at Bristol. This alone
was needed in order TO make the cXhi-
hilton complete as a record of all the
important landmarks in the history of
