CARNEGIE SURPRISED
Tells Chairman Stanley He Never
Heard of His Figures Before.

Washington, Jan. 10.=Andrew Car
negie explained how the Carnegie steel
company had purchased five-sixths of
the Oliver mining cOmpany's stock in
the nineties before the Steel Trust
committee today. MIR. Stanley asked
him why the final sixth was purchased
on valuation basis of $4,000, 600 for
the whole tract, though originally the
company was capitalized at only ST.
100000.
Mr.. Carnegie expressed surprise at
this question. AT that rate" he ex-
claimed, I'VE would have paid $751;
600, 900 for the whole tract
I'm not surprised at anything now
a-days. If that is true what fools we
We're to sell our property to the U. s.
Steel corporation
It was then explained that the ST.
100000 valuation basis was that of the
whole tract and not the sixth. Even
then Mr. Carnegie said that if such a
sum as indicated by those figures was
paid he was surprised that he was
such a fool as to sell our property to
the steel corporation on the basis of
s4sO. OOO, 600
Then after moment Carnegie turn
ed to the chairman. My friend he
said. .'you will have to ask somebody
who knows about those figures. I never
heard of them before

Supplied by Carriers.
Mayor PatrOnizes Pay Soup Line
-$1.5O Collected.

Establishing the soup line at the
city jail by the city has revealed a
number of cases of dire restitution

restitution which prevails, Mrs. Sare

the needy until o'clock every day

some of the people be served with Two

Burge Opposes Faxon's Immi-
grafton Bureau.
Discussion at Kansas Real Es-
tate Mems Meeting.
@WOULD FALL DEAD"
Effect of Faxon's Idea, Says
Speaker.
Again Proposes Plan Rejected
by Legislature.

In his address before the third ses-
sion of the third annual convention of
the Kansas Real Estate Agents as
ISOLATION at the Commercial club this
morning, r. II. Faxon of Garden City,
president of the Kansas Development
association, urged that the legislature
be asked a yearly appropriation of
$1OO,0 to support the work of three
or five men who would be known as
state immigration commission And
this idea was the sentiment OF the
quarterly meeting of the development
association which had met and ad-
jOurned just previous to Mr.. FaxOn'S
address to the real estate men.
And there was a wagging of heads.
N B. Burge said that such a request
would make some OF the Kansas far
mer legislators who didn't know the
value of advertising, fall dead in their
chairs and thought the idea was i'm
posi- BILE. Mr.. Burge, for his own plan,
advocated that the real estate men be
taxed to support an immigration bu-
reau to be created and operated I'M
der the same law which created and
operates the state labor bureau. This
same plan was turned down by the
legislature last spring, but Mr. Burge
Is firm in the belief that the ideaSbe
advocated and presented to the legis-
lature until it was made into a law.
Mr.. Faxon also proposed that the
legislature levey a town advertising
tax where needed and Mr. Burge was
likewise gently, but firmly for this
plan also. The discussion of the pros
and cons of the two propositions was
the feature of the morning meeting
of the real estate men. Other routine
business was transacted.
The meeting adjourned this after
noon

He Favored Deneen But Refused to
Support Calhoun, He Says.

Washington, Jan. 10.-Senator Lori
mer of Illinois continued his testimony
today before the senate committee
which is Investigating charges of bril-
berry in connection with his election
When yesterdays hearing took a re-
cess senator Lorimer was beginning 70
tell of political conditions in Illinois
in 1908 and 1909. Evidently the drift
of his testimony was calculated to in
dictate that there was a movement of a
faction of the Republicans to prevent
the reelection of former Senator Hop
kins and that Governor Deneen was
favorable to it.
Senator Lorimer took up his testl-
mony at that point today and under
questioning by his counsel, Elbridge
Hanecy, continued a recital of the
events which led up to his election by
the Illinois legislature in May, 1908.
Senator LOrimer testified regarding
Governor Deneen's friendly relations
with the Chicago newspaper publish
ers. Deneen finally had declined to
become a candidate for senator be-
cause of their opposition, he said, and
refused to support Speaker Shurtlef
for the same reason Lorimer said
that when Deneen's name was pre-
scented to the legislature on March "a
he had advised his friends to support
him.
on st. Patrick's day. 1909, Lorimer
said, Deneen was fearful that an eff
fort might be made to elect Hopkins
because many Irish members of the
legislature who were opposed to Hop
kins would be absent, celebrating
Later. he said. representatives OF
the Chicago Tribune advanced the
candidacy of w. J. Calhoun, now
United States minister to China
Il was asked to support Calhoun
and would not he continued.
