FINANCIER SAYS FULL KNOW
LEDGE OF DEALINGS WOULD
ERADICATE EVILS

SUCH A FEDERAL BUREAU WOULD
ERADICATE CORPORATION
EVILS, HE BELIEVES

Washington, Aug. 11.-George w.
Perkins, the New York financier, sug-
gested to the house steel corporation
committee of inquiry today that gov
ernment commission, which would in
sure focusing the light of publicity on
the business affairs of great corpora
tions, would do much to eradicate the
present day trust evils and preserve
their virtues.
Following Mr.. Perkins suggestion,
Representative Littleton of New York,
ANNOUNCED that a resolution soon
would be introduced in congress pro-
viding for thorough investigation of
the industrial situation of the country.
Representative Bartlett asked why,
during the 1907 panic, the steel cor
poration officials deemed it necessary
to submit the question of the Ten
nessee ABSORPTION. to the president OF
the United States.
1T was simply matter of ordinary
good sense" said Mr.. Perkins.
Mr. Perkins had made his sugses-
ton as to publicity in response to a
the mere question of limelight an I'M
portant thing" said Mr.. Perkins. "The
limelight, l firmly think, would era
dicate many of our troubles. If we
bod n Lon, nror,;dsnu +bat a o0.nora
ton engaging in interstate business
could register itself with bureau here
in Washington, submitting it's opera
tions, its prices, its balance sheets, its
methods, it's treatment of labor, etc,
and that if these reports were made
public thus gaining the confidence Of
the pdhlic in the securities of that
corporation, the confidence Of the
competitor that he was being fairly
treated and the confidence of the
consumer that he was being fairly
dealt with, think very soon all
corporations would register them
selves"
Such bureau or commission
should conduct its affairs in the lime
light" commented Representative
Young, land not as some bureaus of
this government are conducted, be-
hind closed DOORS"
Members of the committee and Mr..
Perkins applauded this suggestion, the
utterance having been directed toward
the bureau of corporations which has
withheld information about the steel
trust from the committee.
The charges contained in theTown-
send report to the attorney general
about an alliance between the steel
corporation and the International
Harvester company were denounced
as false by Mr.. Perkins. who was CIV
en- permission to file an answer pre-
pared by Edgar A. Bancroft, counsel
for the harvester company. After
four days of testimony, Mr.. Perkins
was excused late this afternoon. Oak,
ley Thorne, president of the Trust
Company of America, then took the
stand.

Mexico City. Aug. 11.-Followine
the abandonment last night of Fran

which Francisco Vasquez Gomez,

The opposition was precipitated by
Madero's efforts to fuse the political
clubs into nationalist party to be
known as the constitutional progress
sive party. The anti-re-electionists
demand that Madero make a cam
paign as their candidate in conform
ity with his domination by them in
the convention of April last year and
abandon the idea of a nomination by
the new party convention which has
been called for August 81.

CLASSIFICATION is SETTLED
HOUSE MEASURE PROVIDES FOR
BUT ONE CLASS FOR ALL
KINDS
HEARING is Open TO PUBLIC
FOR FIRST TIME IN HISTORY
PRESS WAS ADMITTED TO
DELIBERATIONS

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE full
house and senate conference commit.
tee on the wool tariff revision bill
today agreed on flat rate of 29 per
cent on raw wool. The committee
also agreed on the house classified
tion of wool. The agreement on these
two points seemed to remove the
last obstacles in the way of a
final agreement, which it was said
might be reached.
Soon after the conferees met it was
learned definitely that Representative
Underwood and Senator La Toilette,
the subcommittee on conference, had
been only 21s cents apart on raw
wool. Mr.. Underwood held out for
duty of 271s per cent ad valorem.
while La Toilette insisted on 80 per
cent. The full committee split the
difference and compromised on 20
per cent.
The free list bill, it was said. could
be agreed on il short order, but there
seemed to be disposition in the
conference to hold 1t back until an
agreement was forced on the wool
measure. The La Toilette bill calls
for two classes of wool-wool and
hair on the skin being in second
class-whereas the house provision,
accepted by the conference provides
for but one class for all woods. Under
the compromise the second class
woods, fixed in the senate bill at 10
per cent, is thus increased to 20 per
cent. These are coarse or carpet
wools. The senate rate on first class
woods was S5 per cent and the house
20 per cent. In the beginning of the
conference, Mr.. La Toilette urged 30
per cent on ordinary raw wool.
Mr.. Underwood would not consent
to higher duty than 271a per cent.
Mr.. Underwood said he would accept
29 per cent as compromise if the
house classification should prevail.
Mr.. La Toilette agreed to this.
For the first time in history the
conference was, on motion of Senator
Bailey, opened to the press. Continu-
ing it's work, the conference fixed the
rate on wool wastes, noils and shod-
dies, at 29 per cent to correspond
with the rate on regular wastes. This
was an advance over the house rate
which was 20 per cent. 1t was also
practical increase over the senate
rates, which ranged from 25 to 80
per cent. President Taft has indicat-
ed he will veto any bill growing out
of the conference.
No doubt is expressed in either
house of congress regarding the ac-
ceptance of the conference report on
the wool bill. The eleven insurgent
republican senators who voted for
the La Toilette bill originally and
heretofore have held out for not less
than 80 per cent. will accept 29 in
view of the increase made on waste
and carpet woods. Most senators and
members are counting confidently on
final adjournment of the session
late next week. The conferees this
afternoon fixed the duty on combed
wool tops at 60 and 80 per cent OF
: yarns.
