WASHINGTON, Jan. II. An

by members Cf the house committee
investigating the United States
Steel corporation. admitted thar he
recommended the appointment of
Philander c. Knox, the present
secretary of state as attorney gen
eral in McKinleys cabinet in 1901,
Knox having been one of the gen
eral counseIlors fer the Carnegie
steel companies since 1890, when
the Sherman antitrust law was
passed.
Carnegie repeatedly had declared
before the committee that he never
knew that the participation of his
company in the steel plate pool and
other like pools was unlawful and
Representative McGillicuddy, of
Maine, sought TO show that he had
recommended to President Mckinley
the appointment of Knox after the
latter, as counsel for his company,
had left him in ignorance of the
statutes so many years.
Trust Doesn't Need Tariff
Carnegie also told the committee
that he believed no protective tariff
was necessary on steel rails or steel
products with the exception of
needles that are manufactured in
this country. He asserted that
congress need have no fear that
foreign rails would flood the United
States if the tariff We're removed.
The iron master was given an UNI
comfortable half hour late in the
day by Representative McGillicuddy,
You said you did not know for
many years the scope of the Sher-
man antitrust law" said McGilli-
cuddy. Between the years 1890
and 1900 you We're the head of the
Carnegie Steel company, were you

The company had attorneys"
Was Philander c. Knox, the pres
ent secretary of state, one of them?"
Yes, Mr.. Knox was one of our
attorneys. He was of the firm of
Knox & Reed. H. Reed"
Reed was sitting at Carnegie's
side, appearing as his counsel at
the inquiry.
Was Philander C. Knox counsel
for the company between the years
1890 and 1902"
Carnegie whispered to Reed, and
then answered that he was.
During all that period did Mr..
Knox or any of your attorneys ad-
wise you OF the existence OF the
Sherman antitrust law, passed in
1890 and that such pools as your
company participated in We're UNI
lawful?"
Il never heard a word from any

CHURCH LEFT TO TOURISTS
Death Of Builder Deprived English Vii
isse Of Contemplated House of
Worship.

There is a curious history regarding
an unfinished church which stands at
Hassall, near Sandbach. England. A
former resident at the local hall, a
Mr.. Lowndes, painfully conscious of
the lack OF provision for the spiritual
wants OF the people in The neighbor-
hood determined 10 build church at
his own expense. After carefully
choosing a site. he gave instructions
for the erection OF a structure in the
modern style capable of seating 400
or 500 persons. Work on it was begun
in the summer Of 1896. and was push
ed OIL steadily till the day on which
Queen Victoria was crowned, by which
time the building was well advanced.
The crypts, about ten in number, had
been put in. the walls and roofs were
complete. and the scantlings for the
floor were fixed. Indeed, partly in
consequence OF The national rejoicings,
and partly 10 celebrate the progress
which had been made. the building
was smOtheTed in flags and decora-
tions. and was the center OF the local
festivities. Next day Mr. Lowndes
was seized with an illness which quick
ly proved fatal. and with his passing
all work on the church ceased. Though
the building could have been finished
at comparatively small cost, il was
abandoned; and ii has not been used
since. except by tourists. whose names

said of those on the ruins OF Gains
