STANLEY REFUSES REQUEST
 OF CONGRESSMAN LITTLETON

Representative Martin w. Littleton of
 New York today made his expected de- mand on Chairman Stanley of the commit tee Investigating the United States Steel corporation. The New Yorker requests that the steel committee investigate charges that have been made concerning his con- duct as member of the committee.
 These include the charges that he wished to abandon congressional invest
 gation of the Steel trust MT. Littleton says the charge has been inspired by all street interests who are taking the bear side on Steel stocks
 MT. Littleton's letter to MT. Stanley re- quests tlrat men whom he claims have
 been responsible for charges circulated about his conduct be subpoenaed. MT. Littleton in his letter declared that
 a newspaper attack on him printed last l Friday was inspired by the secretary of l the antitrust league, "a nebulous or l ganization, taking It's shape and substance | largely from stationery invented by the said Martin and resting it's reputation on circulars and letters written and sent broadcast by the said Martin" Because I, a member of the com mittee, chose to vote and act as l saw fit," Mir Littleton writes, this person Martin diligently and systematically cried false and slanderous statements about me
 in cafes and bar rooms, not hestating to call In question my personal and official honor."
 In conclusion Mr. Littleton says the fact that Mir Martin had from time to time conferred and associated with David La
 mar of New York. I am led to believe the Steel committee continue is for the purpose of serving the financial interests of the said David Lamar and others en- gagged in bear speculation in Wall street."

Little ton who declared he would first appeal to individual members of the committee to request the issuance of the subpoenas. If this fails he will then take his fight to the floor of the House, and he counts upon the support of many democrats.
 Chairman Stanley stated some of his colleagues on the committee agreed with him that the committee had no jurisdic- tion' to try a question of personal privi- lege or to expend money for the bringing of witnesses here to testify, not as to the acts r doings of the United States Steel corporation, but to give their reasons for unkind or untrue statements about a member of the committee.

 In addition to these suggestions 70 Congress MT. Taft hopes to send in re- ports of the portal commission, the rail- ways securities commission, the econ omy and efficiency commission and possibly other reports before the hol- day adjournment.
 The trust message was revised final ly by the cabinet at five hours ses- sion today The meeting was broken into twice, once that the President might go to the executive mansion to receive the Russian ambassador, George Bakhmetieff. and later to eat a light luncheon prepared in the White House kitchen. Neither interruption was long and all through a gloomy, rainy after noon the cabinet members debated the document that most of them regarded as the most important MT. Taft has ever written for the benefit of Congress
 Owing to the length of the session there were many rumors that there had been serious disagreement in Mr. Taft's official family. These were de- nied by a majority of the cabinet and by the President himself in conversa- ton with visitors.
 Most of the points in the message ha1 been gone over before and the session had to do more with phraseology, 1t was averred, than with definite policy
 It was long after night when the cab inet session was over, and MT. Taft stayed behind, in danger of missing din- ner at the White House. to look the last proofs over as they came from the government printing office.

Where had he seen this man? That

one of the rooms just across the hail.,
but, though Bessie was a trump, he
did not go to look for her. The girl

he did not wish to miss one instant

Again he considered the miracle Of
her appearance in his life. and he re-

loving, trusting words that she had
just spoken-how they glOwed in his
heart! She had known that he would
succeed! He could only think that
the secret telegraphy of his love had
sent her messages of confidence.
And yet he did not even know her

enough.
Near the book lay an empty en-

He found himself wondering wheth-

the scene which his action had made
possible-all for the sake of girl.
And when the last pen-stroke had
been completed and the seated men
raised their eyes and looked at each
other-looked at each other with the
responsible glance of men who have
made history-at that moment the girl
whispered to Orme: Come" and 81
lently he followed her back to the
room in which he had first awaited
her.
"Oh, Girl" he whispered as she
turned and faced him, "Oh, Girl, | am
SO glad!"
She smiled. Please wait for mo-
ment."
When she had disappeared he re-
pictured the scene they had just wit
messed With all its absence of pomp,
it had left with him an impression
that could never be effaced.
Again the girl appeared in the door
way, and leaning on her arm was her
father. Orme stepped forward. The
secretary smiled and extended his
hand.
Mr.. Orme,' he said, I'VE owe you
much. My daughter has told me
something of your experiences. You
may be sure that l had no notion,
when this affair began, that she would
have to envelop herself and others in
so much mystery, but now that all has
ended we'll, | can only be thankful. ;"
He seated himself. You will excuse
me; am not quite strong yet, though,
as | might say, very convalescent."
The girl was leaning on the back OF
her fathers chair Tell father the
story, won't you, please?" she asked
So Orme quickly narrated the series
of events that began with his stroll
along State street the afternoon of the
day before. 1T doesn't sound true,
does it?" he concluded
"But the marked five-dollar bill will
