GOVERNOR 0'NEAL
 IS MUCH SURPRISED That Governors Were Ruf- fled Over His Expressions
 at Baltimore Banquet

Washington, December 10.-(SpeclaD.- Governor Emmet ONeal of Alabama was very much surprised when he read in the papers this morning that the western governors who attended the banquet at Baltimore Friday night were ruffled over some of the expressions used by him at the banquet.
 Governor O'Neal said: "The western governors clearly misunderstood what ! said at Baltimore. I made no criticism whatever of methods that have been used in advertising and developing the west but said that the south Is attaining a great development. both in material en- terprise and in population without adver- Using. I meant by this that the natural advantages of the south are bringing the people and forcing development without special exploitation
 .sAs for the political expression for which am criticised, l did say that the south is still old fashioned enough 10 believe in and revere the constitution and would be slow to run after the fads and fancies of modern radcalism."
 Governor O'Neal left for New YorH this afternoon at o'clock. He will re- turn to Alabama next Wednesday. He declared to friends here that he had not yet considered the appointment of back tax commissioner of Jefferson county and would not consider the matter until his return to Alabama.

STANLEY WRITES
 A LACON|C NOTE Gave Gates Chance to Ap-
 pear to Testify STEEL INQUIRY TODAY Most of Congressional Activity This Week Will Be in Senate-VOte
 on Sherwood Bill in the
 House Tuesday
STEEL INQUIRY TODAY

d 4 a Washington, December 1o.-The refusal by John D. Rockefeller and his almoner Rev. r. D. Gates, to accept the "invita- tion" of the House Steel trust" investi- gating committee to appear and testify, drew pointed and laconic note from Chairman Stanley of the committee today. MT. Stanley sent pr. Gates the following letter:
 Sir: My recent communication to yo1 was intended not to provoke discussion of the value of the Merritt testimony or of your personal integrity but to give you an opportunity to defend it."
 There was no letter addressed to MT Rockefeller. The committee will resume
 it's inquiry tomorrow Messrs. Rockefeller and Gates were not subpoenaed because of the pending of government suit against the United States Steel corpora ton.
 Most of the congressional activity th,s week will be in the Senate, though the Sherwood bill is to be voted on in the House Tuesday,, Leaders in both houses appear to favor some form of service pension legislation. The Sherwood bill, the debate on which has been largely di- rected toward the effect on the presiden- tial election would involve expenditures estimated at S40,00O,000 upwards for union veterans who served 90 days or more.
 The Russian passport question with the proposed abrogation of the Russian treaty of 1892 will be threshed out at a hearing, before the house committee on foreign affairs tomorrw Chairman Sulzer already has predicted that Congress will act. The Lorimer senatorial election Investigating committee on interstate commerce still is engaged in hearings designed to bring out a variety of views as to needed changes in the antitrust law.
 The House committee on sugar trust affairs has taken a recess over the holi- days
 Congress is in lethargie condition re- garding the big issues on which it will battle. Tariff and trust plans still are unshaped in committed. The House re- puhlicans are looking ahead to the tariff boards report which is expected by the end of the week. The democratic house. through the ways and means committee has agreed to defer action until the re- port is received.
 The Senate is marking time in the House. The insurgent republicans sena- tors are playing a waiting game. So far they have held no conference to shane their policies. The emergence of tariff and trust legislation from the committee will give them their cue.

CONGRATULATIONS FOR UNDERWOOD On Speech Delivered Before
 Pennsylvania Society BRINGS TAFT TO TASK Underwood Offers no Panacea for Present Business Conditions and
 the Alleged Evils of Busi-
 ness Corporations
BRINGS TAFT TO TASK
BY WALTER HARPER

Washington December 10.-tSpeciaD.- Oscar w. Underwood who returned from New York this afternoon is being widely congratulated on the wise conservatism of the speech he delivered before the Pennsylvania Society last night.
 It is the opinion of the democratic as well as many republican leaders in Con- press that the broad and cautious VieW that MT. Underwood takes of the present business and trust agitation is the wise and sane view.
 MT Underwood offers no panacea Tor present business conditions and the all legged evils of business corporations lie declares that the trust question is a biS ouestion-too big to be made political capi- tai of. He advises that both parties go slow and devise laws with great cautloh' He deprecates the disposition among poll ticians to agitate new and untried lesis- lation in haste.
 He calls for patrotic non political Co., operation in the working out and soiVlhS of the great business problems that COIL front the country. He says: Let us nave q government of laws and not or heh. .et us not in any flippant manner or 'n any attempt to Sdih Poi' .,~. but seriously and deliberately, insist that obedience of the law as it is shall be de- manded and enforced, and let there be no needless agitation as to new laws until 4he need and the remedy ar both ap- parent" -
 Mr Underwood took occasion to bring President Taft to task for blowing hot and cold and for very apparent mcoh- sistency in his recent message on the trust question. After commenting the sherman act and declaring that 1t should not be amended Taft proceeds to recoln- mend new legislation that is indefinite and that may or may not correct the evils that exist.
 Senator Penrose was among the guests at the banquet.
