IS BLAMED
RUN ON TRUST COMPANY OF.
AMERICA LAID AT HIS
DOOR.
WIDE INQUIRY IN PROSPECT
Representative LlttIeton Announces
Resolutions viii Be introduced
for Thorough Investigation Of In
dustrIaI Situation.

Washington.-Resp for the
run on the Trust Company Of America
during the panic of 1907 was placed
upon George w. Perkins and associ-
ates by Oakley Thorne.
1t was in consequence Of the run
on the Trust Company Of America that
the steel trust absorbed Tennessee
Coal and Iron. The allegation is that
the latter movement was necessary to
save the trust company from going
to the wall.
According to Mr.. Thorne. who testi-
fed at the hearing Of the Stanley
steel investigating committee, it was
through Mr.. Perkins that a statement
was given to a newspaper that the
Trust Company of America was a
sore spot" in the panic situation, but
that aid would be given it.
Less than two hours before this
statement is alleged to have been
made, Mr.. Thorne swore he had told
Mr. Perkins that the trust company
was in good shape. The publication,
Mr.. Thorne said, started run on his
concern, which had to borrow $27,-
100000 to save itself. The absorption
of the Tennessee Coal and Iron COM
pany followed in the excitement. This
was the concern whose collapse 1t was
reported to Roosevelt would bring
down the pillars of the financial tem-
pie.
A council of all the great manufac.
turers and financiers Of the nation
will be called into consultation with
congress to find way out of the trust
problem, according to an announce.
ment by Representative Littleton Of
New York before the inquiry.
Mr.. Littleton stated that a resolu.
ton would soon be introduced in con.
gress providing for thorough investi.
cation of industrial affairs in the
United States.
His news followed a suggestion from
George w. Perkins, director Of the
steel trust, that a government COM
mission which would focus the lime
light of publicity on the business af'
fairs Of great corporations would do
much to eradicate present-day evils
Of trusts and preserve their virtues.
Il am advised" said Mr.. Littleton,
I that there Is to be thorough inquiry
into all the commercial ills Of the ma
ton, and that conference will be
called to determine the problem of how
to deal with the industrial situation in
America"
Washington.-George w. Perkins,
director of the United States Steel
corporation and former partner in ],
Pierpont Morgan & Co., was not cited
for contempt before the bar of the
house by the house committee Of in.
Quiry into the affairs Of the steel cor
poration. Neither will he be.
The committee decided at turbu.
lent executive session not to press
questions relating to Mr.. Perkins per.
sonal campaign contributions. The
inquiry into gifts of the New York
Life Insurance company and the Unit
ed States Steel corporation, 1t was
said, was left In allegiance.

DEADLOCK OFF
HOUSE AND SENATE coNFEREEs
REACH COMPROMISE.
Agreement Placing Raw Material at 90
Cents-AImost Even Breakdown for
Each Side.

Washington. - The deadlock be-
tween the house and senate was
broken and the wool bill probably
will be passed finally by both branches
of congress.
The wool bill, as agreed upon, was
so amended as to require that the
proposed law shall take effect October
instead of January l, as provided in
the senate and house measures. The
conferees hope to have the report
adopted in both houses and the bill
quickly started on its course to the
White House, where the president is
expected to veto it.
The free list bill was under consid-
Grafton for about fifteen minutes, but
the conflict between the representa-
tives of the two houses was so pro-
nounced that 1t became necessary to
postpone action.
After fixing 20 per cent. ad valorem
as the duty on raw wool and changing
the wool classification so as to con-
form to the language of the house bill,
IhC IcCllCllI Ou OIuC4
came a matter Of detail.
The change of classification has the
effect of fixing fiat duty on all woods,
and while it reduces the rates on or
dinary woods from 35 per cent, as pro-
vided in the senate bill, and increases
those of the house bill from 20 per
cent. 1t also increases the rates on
carpet woods from 10 per cent, as pro-
vided in the senate bill. to the 29 per
cent. fixed by the conferees.
In most respects the duties on the
manufactures of wool were increased
over the rates of the house bill and
reduced below those Of the senate bill,
so as to make them correspond with
the raw wool rate; but in some in
stances they were made higher than
those of either measure.

Four Were Killed and Three
Believed Under WreCkage.
TWO SCORE PERSONS INJURED
Several Of the Injured, II Is Believed,
Will Die-New Switch Thought
Responsible for the Wreck
Steel Cars Prove Their
Worth.

Ft. Wayne, Ind.-The Pennsylvania
1S-hour train from Chicago to New
York, jumped the track and struck a
freight train standing on the west
bound track, injuring 40 or more pas
sengers severely and killing at least
four.
The Dead.
Valentine Snyder, Crestline, o., bag
gageman.
William Z. Arick, fireman on the
freight engine, of this city.
Two unidentified men in the wreck
under the engines.
1t is believed that at least three
more bodies are still in the wreckage,
and that number of others will die
from the effects of their wounds.
Cause Not Determined.
The cause had not been determined
but a new switch had been put in at
the point where the accident occurred
The flyer was running double-head-
er, and the whole train left the track
ana was dragged over the ties for half
mile. The coaches and sleepers
turned on their sides and the trucks
of the engine were forced back
through the two forward cars. The
engine and part of the freight are
piled up in a mass of bent and twisted
steel, and practically nothing Is left
of the tracks for 200 yards.
Railroad men say that if the cars
had been of the old wooden type the
loss of life would have been frightful.
