CARNEGIE STILL
ON THE STAND
Gives Lectures and Tells Funny
Stories Instead of An
swerins Questions.

/ United Press Leased Wire Service.]
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-Andrew
Carnegie, former steel king, resumed
his pastime of playing with the Stan
ley steel investigating committee Of
the house today.
The third day of the ironmasters
examination bids fair to be as fruit
less, SO far as information as to the
steel situation was concerned as the
first two days. Questions that Car
negie did not feel inclined to answer
he turned aside with wandering dis
cussion OF economics, or philosophy.
And as he felt inclined to answer few
questions directly, the result was a
series of lectures. quibbles and quips.
The aged steel man matched wits
with every member of the committee
and rarely did he come off second
best Again and again the inquisitors
began a line of important questioning,
only to give up in disgust when Car
negie started his wandering tactics.
The crowd that has attended the
meetings of the committee since Car
negie's appearance was on hand again
today. The ironmaster has drawn
more spectators than any star the
Stanley committee has staged, and he
seemed to enjoy the experience.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-"My only
expenses in connection with the con-
test for senatorship," testified Sena-
tor Lorimer before the senate inves-
tigating committee today, were my
hotel bills and travelling expenses.
Even these did not arise on account OF
the senatorship because / would have

no contest for the senate
Lorimer then explained contest
with the Harvester trust as result
of which he said the trust had exhibit
ed great enmity toward him. 1t was
the old story of the attempt of the
trust to replace swing bridge with
a fixed bridge over the west branch of
the Chicago river. A fixed bridge
would be convenience to the trust
whose works are on both sides of the
river AS there was some navigation

CHICAGO, Jan. 12.--With prospects
for continued cold weather and
blanket of more than two and half
inches Of snow covering the city,
Chicago found no relief from the suf-
fering of the destitute today and traf-
t,c is more demoralized than ever.
The lowest temperature during the
night was three below zero. At nine
this morning it was zero. The forecast
for tonight indicates clear and colder
weather for the entire west and
northwest with low temperature at
Chicago of about Is below zero. After
that. the weather bureau says there
will be slowly rising temperature.
Because of the utter failure of thu
railroads to move freight the city is
facing coal famine and dealers
have seized the situation as an ex-
cuse for boosting prices. To all con-
sumers who have not contracted for
their coal prices have been raised a
dollar ton.
The snow brought some relief to the
homeless and needy for during the
night and early today thousands Of
men were employed by the city and
the transportation companies to
sweep and cart snow. All OF these
will be paid tonight and at the end
OF each days work. Representatives
of the charity societies say the snow
has brought greater relief through the

Frozen nydrants.

The first attempt to get water was
made at the fire hydrant at the cor
ner of Fourth and Main. The hose
was attached and the wrench turned,
but no water came forth. The hydrant
was frozen and useless.
The second attempt was at Fifth
and Main. Here again the plug was
frozen up.
Then the plug at Sixth street was
tried and it was in working order.
This was the first water available.
Other lines were attached to the
plugs at Third and Main and at Fifth
and Blondeau and soon there was
plenty Of water available but the
pressure was too low to do much good.
1t was not until the blaze was almost
out late this morning that stream
was secured strong enough to reach
the third floor.
BY that time the building was a
shell, encrusted with ice.
All hose which was used during the
fire was frozen too solid to permit
reeling it up and it was dragged back
to the stations to be thawed out.

department responded and discovered

which proved to be one of the most
spectacular ones in the city for a
