who split their commissions" asked
Mr.. Untermyer.
Mr.. Sturgis declared that dividing COM
missions was the most infamous crime
a member OF the exchange could commit
against his fellow members"
The witness and the lawyer discussed
at length the position of the public tow
ard manipulated stocks, Mr. Untermyer
trying to establish that the public was
''lured" into the market by the buying
and selling. He asked Mr. Sturgis if the
exchange should not put stop to panp-
ulation.
I'VE don't consider ii our business 10
stop manipulation which is legitimate,
said Mr.. Sturgis, who added that glar-
ing manipulation might be discovered
through n brokers' books. but 1t would
not be feasible to attempt regulation in
that way
When Rudolph Keppler followed Mr..
Sturgis on the stand he and Mr.. Inter
myer engaged in a battle OF wits on
stock market manipula ton. Mr.. KEEP
pier held that cross sales and purchases
were legitimate so long as the commits
sions were paid and there were no
wash sales" or matched orders" in the
transactions.
Finally the lawyer took up the rela-
lions OF the Stock Exchange with the
curb market. He read from the report
Of the Hughes commission to show that
the Stock Exchange prevents the curb
from getting under a roof" He brought
out that when stocks listed on the curb
were listed on the exchange the curb
ceased to trade in them, because il It
did not the curb would be barred from
business with Stock Exchange members.
He also brought out that the rate OF
charge on the curb was less than on the
exchange.
do you agree with the report of the
Hughes commission that substantial
part Of the operations on the Stock Ex-
change are tambles?'
Well" SID the witness, Il would say
that some transactions on the Stock Ex-
change wera somewhat OF a gambling
nature"
Samuel STREET. member Of the commit
tee on arbitration and clearing house OF
the Stock Exchange, said he had no
opinion on anything relating to short
sales and manipulation and after a vain
effort TO get him TO express one, Mr..
Untermyer obtained only the statement
that Mr.. STREET. believed short selling
Legitimate"
Harry Content, a New York broker, said
his firm was an active trader in stocks.
He never had engineered manipulation
himself. but he knew what "manipula-

John Fl. Patterson and twenty-nine other
officials OF former officials of the National
Cash Register Company. charged by the
government with violating the criminal
section Of the Sherman antitrust act.
A. z. Edwards OF Spokane, owner Of A
Wholesale store fixture concern, testified
that he purchased a number Of Michigan
cash registers 10 sell, and that shortly
afterward w G. Pruitt, National sales
agent for that territory, called on him
and tried TO induce him to stop selling any
machine other than Nationals. Edwards
stated that Pruitt said that he was too
good a man TO stand the pumping that
necessarily would come his way II he con-
tnued TO buck" the National.
Edwards further said that after Pruitt
saw there was no chance for him TO throw
out the Michigan machines he threatened
10 have the manufacturers OF scales with
draw the agency from Edwards. and also
threatened TO discredit him by having
suits brought against him Finally, ac-
cording to the witness, Pruitt showed him

Mr.. Content said that operation by pools
was no longer a feature of the market.
but that several big individual operators
were now working i'm the Street.
Why is that?' asked Mr.. Untermyer.

Mr.. Content.

Yes, that's IT,"
John G. Atteson. secretary of the
Wabash Railroad. said that the first issue
OF Wabash stock certificates was en-
graved by the New York Bank Note Com
pany. That was later ruled off the Stock
Exchange, and the secretary of the ex-
change notified the Wabash that the GER
tihcates would not be accepted. Since
then the Wabash stock, Mr.. Atteson said,
had been engraved by the American Bank
Note Company, as the work OF the New
York company would not be accepted or
listed on the exchange.

given by David J. Bare and W. ]. Alder
son. Of the Lehigh Valley.

"Very Largely Gambling"

Mr.. Untermyer reviewed the argu-
ments in favor Of short selling as a
balance on a rising market and as
steadying a general market situation,
and asked:
Don't you think the moral obloquy
Of such a transaction outweighs any
argument in its favor?"
YES, 1 do. personally" said Mr..
Sturgis.
AS a matter of fact, that is gam
bling. pure and simple
Yes, very largely
The question Of the moral duty of
the Stock Exchange to the public in
volved Mr.. Sturgis and the lawyer in
a heated argument.
THE exchange as such has no duty
toward the public" said Mr.. Sturgls,
except to maintain place to do bust
ness and to surround that business
with proper safeguards
The witness said he did not believe
the Stock Exchange was guilty Of mis-
leading banks as to the value of secu-
rites manipulated. On this point ne
argued at length, Mr.. Untermyer try
ing to secure the admission that the
Stock Exchange should make dealings
on the floor OF the exchange dealings
in the real value of stocks, that the
securities might be quoted at a price
representing real value.
. Mr.. Sturgis discussed the so-caled
Rock Island manipulation on Deem
Der 81. 1909. when 1t was charged
that through S. b. Chaplin e. Co. twenty
lots Of two thousand shares each were
bought on a single order by different
brokers. The stock went from 80 TO 81
in two hours, and dropped back TO be-
low 80 in three hours more. Mr.. Stur-
gs said the two members Of Chaplin Il
co. were suspended from the exchange
for thirty days.
THAT was the most glaring case Of
manipulation in the history of the ex-
change, wasn't it," asked Mr.. Inter
myer. but Mr. Sturgis would express no
opinion.

From The Tribune Bureau
Washington. December .S
Mr.. Root Will State Facts.

Senator Root. who is intimidated neither
by the possibilities OF a popular primary
nor by the displeasure of certain of his
| fiamboyant colleagues. will take occasion
in the not distant future to inform the
Senate OF the facts regarding the Hay-
Pauncefote treaty, the British protest and
the question of honor involved on the part
of the United States Mr.. Root was a
member Of the Cabinet when the Hay
Pauncefote treaty was negotiated. lie
was. moreover. one OF the President
most valued advisers and one of the in
Innate friends of John Hay, who, on the
part OF the United states. negotiated the
treaty. He succeeded Mr.. Hay as Secre-
tary OF State and as his successor made
an especial study of the recent history
of the Department of State and Of the
treaties in force when he accepted the
portfolio of State. There is, therefore, no
one now living more competent to speak
with authority on the obligations OF the
United States under the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty than the Senator from New York.
Senator Root naturally shares the hope
of the administration that the present
difficulties will yield to diplomatic nego-
tiation, but he Is convinced that II an
amicable agreement with Great Britain
cannot be reached by such means il will
he the duty Of the United States to submit
the question at issue 90 arbitration, and
he will not be deferred from expressing
his views by cries OF Tory" from those
who would cheerfully sacrifice honor to
popularity or by the denunciation Of the
L..
international honor means. Senator
Lodge has not decided whether IL will be
necessary for him 10 speak on this sub
jet, but il it is he will not hesitate 20
stand for the honor Of the United States,
regardless Of the popularity Of an opposite
course No one who really understands
the somewhat subtle and highly success
full diplomacy OF Secretary Root and no
one who has even q passing knowledge OF
the record Of Senator Lodge can sin
osrely believe that either OF these men
patriotism or Is In the slightest disposed
10 cringe TO Great Britain.
In the case Of Mr.. Lodge, he has long
been regarded as predisposed to be hostile
TO Great Britain. But both men are gifted
with a high sense Of honor, and no de-
iciency of that most desirable quality will
deter them from standing up sQuarely
against any course which could In the
slightest degree sully the honor Of the
United States. President Taft, unlike
Senator Root. is convinced that no viola
ton Of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty Is in
volved i'll the Panama Canal bill, but he
is equally convinced that unless the diff
ferences with Great Britain can be set
tied by diplomatic negotiation the United
States is in honor bound to submit the
matter to the arbitrament Of The Hague
and probably the same IL true Of every
gentleman in the Senate
