Irish Achievements.

Add this to the list of Irish achieve
ments: The first steam driven YES
sci to cross the Atlantic was the
Sirius" ship registered in Ireland
and commanded by Corkman named
Roberts. The man who chartered the
vessel for the voyage also was a

was impelled to have the voyage

Washington, Jan. 12,-Drawing
comparison between Colonel Theo-
dore Rooseelts conception of a cor
poration and that possessed by Presi-
dent Taft, Andrew Carnegie today, for
the third consecutive day, was inter
rogated by the Stanley house com
mittee investigating the steel trust.
After admitting that a law must be
invoked to prevent excessive prices
on steel commodities, Andrew Carne-
gle said.
"You cannot trust human nature.
Anyone is justified in doing every
thing possible under the law 1t is
certain that sooner or later the Of
fenses against natural competition
will force the making of real law
to govern such conditions"
In denying thGV the decisions in the
Standard Oil and Tobacco cases had
accelerated this conviction, he said
His Idea of Corporations.
"There are two lines of thought in
this country. One is Taft's idea that
corporations should be dissolved The
other is expressed in Colonel Roose-
elt's conception which is, that large
corporation units should be recog-
nized, but put under careful and close
governmental regulations. | know
that these are Colonel Roosevelt's s
views, and heartily agree with them
think the government should first
pass law regulating corporations,
and then wait and see if further legis-
lation is necessary"
Carnegie reiterated that the tariff
could in no way affect the price of
steel. In this connection he said:
America makes more steel than all
the rest of the world combined. Your
Legislators need not worry about any
tariff to protect the steel"

wilkins was hanged here today at
1890 o'clock for the murder of wo-
man in Alameda in 1908. wilkins was
pronounced dead after hanging 13 u
minutes. He protested his innocence
to the last.
wilkins mounted the scaffold with
out a tremor, after a good nights

was adjusted the condemned man was
asked if he had anything to say

said, "and die an innocent man. My

Efforts of the Anti-Capital Punish

OF wilkins fell on deaf ears, Governor
Johnson several days ago announcing
that wilkins must pay the penalty for
his crime, This action was taken by
the governor, despite the fact that he
was overwhelmed with kilograms, the
majority of which were from Los An
geles urging him to reprieve wilkins
until the question of whether the gus
tion of capital punishment would en-

Convinced that if the governors of

be prevailed upon to visit the West
that much will be accomplished in
creating an interest in the vast re-
sources of the Western Empire, Gov
ernor West today issued a letter of
invitation to the governors of all
these states.
Seeing in it wonderful advantage
to make the East and the South ac-
quainted with the West, its industries
and resources and its wonderful op-
portunities commercial clubs in this
state and other states will, no doubt,
take the matter up and send out addi-
tional invitations. There will be a

visit to the West.

Rome, Jan. 12.-Seven Turkish
gunboats were sunk off Konfuda in a
battle with Italian warships today, ac-
cording to advices received here.
The Turkish gunboats carried con-
traband goods destined for the Turk
ish troops in the province of Itemen,
Arabia The Italian warships sighted
and pursued them.
One of the Italian battleships opened
fire at long range, sinking two of the
gunboats. The five other Turkish
gunboats were overhauled after a
two-hours' pursuit, and made a futile
attempt to give battle. The engage
ment lasted for one hour, but the
guns of the Italian battleships finally
sank the Turkish craft. The Turks
took to the lifeboats. The number of
casualties is not stated.
After the gunboats sank, the Ital-
ians discovered an armed Turkish
yacht endeavoring to escape. 1t was
chased and finally captured.
Many Turks are believed to have
perished the fight that preceded the
sinking of their warships, and many
more undoubtedly went down with the
ships.
No Italians were injured in the
fight.
The Turkish gunboats had been elud-
ing the Italians for weeks, carrying
immense quantities of arms, ammuni-
tion and food supplies to the Turkish
troops in Arabia.

Commerce Commission. At this point
Congressman Bartlett interrupted the
witness and asked
What is it that has brought prac-
tically every big corporation in such
a frame of mind that they are almost
unanimously in favor of this solution
of the trust problem?
"They have seen," answered Carne-
gle, "as saw long ago, that the peo-
pie will not submit to hugh combi-
nations subslsting without regula-
ton"
Carnegie then declared that he was
opposed to strengthening the Sherman
antitrust law in an effort to hasten
the dissolution of corporations. When
asked il the dissolution would re-
duce the price of steel the witness
said that it would not, and the only
way to effect reduction was by gov
ernment regulation
The Old Man SImled.
In direct contrast to his manner yes
terday, Carnegie today made no effort
to evade questions, but answered
promptly.
Carnegie declared that it was i'm
possible now, owing to the life of the
steel trust, to organize new steel COM
panies. Congressman Gardner then
suggested that as the Hill lease on
the Mesba region would expire in
1915, releasing 100000 tons of ore,
that that might be the basis for new
company Carnegie smiled and then
in formed the congressman that the
steel trust controlled the Mesba re-
gion.
"The steel trust said Carnegie, has
spent MILLIONS in vain trying to make
those ores available. l don't think
that the steel corporation would re-
lease that land unless they found out
it was an Improbable investment. Do
