The reception of Printype by the
business public has been most en-
thusiastic We withheld amy formal
announcement until the machine
had been on the market for some
time. Personal demonstrations
were its only advertising. The re-
sulting sales were stupendous.
Here. there and everywhere,
Prinype letters soon began to ap-
pear Wherever received, these
distinctive, beautiful letters awak-
ened immediate interest. Thus the
fame of Printype grows as It's
beauty and utility dawn on the
business world
That the public is Overwhelming
ly in favor of Printype is impress
siyely shown by this fact;
Already over 75 per cent OF our
entire output Of Oliver Typewriters
are Printypes."

by subordinates of the steel trust,

He did not think that this committee

Chairman Stanley at this point said that
the work of the committee for the next

Committee Not Pleased.

1t seemed to stick in the committees
craw that Mr.. Smith should withhold in
formation from the committee, and Repre-
sentative Littleton was insistent to know
if Mr.. Smith really contended that he was
not authorized to supply coordinate
branch of the government with informa-
ton.
Mr.. Smith thereupon quoted the At
torney Generals letter of instruction to
him, declaring that he could only divulge
what the President might direct.
AIR Smith. replying TO a question, said
he had not submitted to the Department
of Justice any special data or reports OH
the steel trust.
COMMISSIONER Smith said it had been
estimated that ) per cent of the earth S
crust is composed Of iron ore.
How much Of the earths crust, then.

man Stanley, dryly.
'Only an infinitesimal part of 1 per
cent" broke in Counsel Lndebury.
Replying to question Commissioner
Smith said he had never been requested
TO investigate the taking over of the
Tennessee Coal and Iron Company.
Mr. Beall of the committee questioned
the commissioner in detail as to his meth
cd Of procedure in obtaining his informa-
ton from the steel trust.

Undue Activity, He Says.

Mr.. Stanley denied any such implica-
ton. but said that it indicated undue
activity on the part of the steel cor
poration.
Continuing to read from the minutes.
Mr.. Stanley quoted Judge Gary as saying
to his colleagues that the corporation did
not fear any trouble with the govern
ment, and did not expect to be unneces-
sarily injured nor wrongfully charged.
Representative Littleton. reverting to
the method of securing the information.
the steel corporation furnishing the data
and the bureau of corporations checking
it up, asked:
Didn't you allow the steel company to
investigate itSelf?"
Commissioner Smith answered emphati-
cally in the negative.
Representative Littieton characterized
as utter stupidity the committee sitting
here, separated by the thin wall of fac

Efforts of the House steel trust investi-

his investigation of the United States
Steel Corporation were blocked by Mr.
Smiths emphatic refusal to answer all
such questions, saying the law forbade
such disclosures except on the Presi-

| answered first few questions as to the

or summary of part one of a report not
yet printed. He thought the full report
would comprise three parts. This section
deals with organization of the steel cor

| thought the full text of part one will be
ready in about six weeks.
Chairman Stanley wanted to know
about the facts upon which the commits

Mr.. Smith said that data would appear In

| Mr.. Stanley said the Secretary of Com

Chairman Gary Quoted.

Chairman Stanley read from the min
utes of the steel corporation of date Of
June 20. 1906, quoting Judge Gary as say
ing to his associates in the meeting of the
board of directors that the finance COM
mittee of the steel corporation was in
close touch with the bureau OF corpora
lions and with the President himself.
Mr. Stanley questioned Mr.. Smith as to
his knowledge of how the finance COM
mittee of the steel corporation was keep
ing lin touch,'' and asked him if 1t was
through George w. Perkins? Witness
did not know.
Representative Gardner Of the commit
tee took exception to the form Of the
question and demanded to know If Mr..

tween the steel corporation and President
Roosevelt and the then commissioner,

Mr.. Stanley requested the witness to
communicate with the President at once
and secure permission to give the COM
mittee what information 1t might require.
especially data showing the profits Of j.
P. Morgan & Co. in the organization Of
the steel corporation.
Mr.. Smith said the steel corporation
had never refused access to information.
The bureau had not put any witnesses
under oath nor issued any subpOenas, as
it was not desirable to furnish witnesses
immunity
Representative Littleton of the COM
mittee urged Commissioner Smith to
recommended to the President that the
committee be furnished with all the data
he possesses
Mr. Smith said it would take several
weeks to assemble and present the data
lntelligibly.
Frequently during the course of the
inquiry Commissioner Smith declined to
answer questions on the ground that
he is forbidden to disclose anything
except to the President or by his direc-
ton Some objections by the steel
trust counsel to other questions led
the chairman to remark to the witness:
Well, we seem TO be placed between
Scylla and Charybdis; counsel will
not allow you to express an opinion
and you will not state a fact whereat
Mr.. Smith only smiled and took a closer
hold upon the letter of instructions to
him of the Attorney General.

number of depositors and amount of de-
posts is rapidly growing, and that as
to every branch of the business. The
deposits of the stations first opened
have larger ratio OF increase every
week, and the growth at the new sta
tions is proportionately rapid. At the
present issue the deposits at the 48
original postoffices at the close of a
year from their date of opening will
amount to over 100000, and if the sys-
tenn should be extended to all the money
order offices it will at the same ratio
at the end of the first year thereafter
have something like $200000,000 on de-
post.
In the building of new postoffices the
government will put in special offices
for the savings banks. This will be
the case in the new postoffice at Wash
ington, D. c., which is soon to be built,
and eventually similar arrangements
will have to be made in all the large
cities.
The most surprising feature of the
work so far is the ease with which it is
handled. The new banks are running
without complications. There have been
no objections from the local savings in
stitutions and the postoffices promise
to bring vast amount of new money
into circulation. Indeed the postal saw
ings bank is the greatest financial sue
cess of this administration.
