which he had embellished the records OF
the Stanley committee.
Il had a splendid time" p" said the IRON
master, when asked about his visit 10
Washington. NO man has ever been re-
celyed more corteously than l was by the
Stanley committee, and the whole affair
was very pleasing"
There was one thing. however, TO which
Mr.. Carnegie objected, and that was the
report that he was supporting the trust
policies OF ex-President Roosevelt and not
those Of President Taft.
That is not right" he said. u am wait
ing for the President to define his policy
toward the trusts. President Taft is a
very sagacious and careful man. and l
suppose he is waiting for the results OF

nitely his views on the matter. When the

sition in the clear and able manner which
we are accustomed to expect from him"

ASKS JURY ON TURTLE CASE
Captain Wishes Question of
Cruelty Thrashed Out.

CAPTAIN Cleveland II. Downs Of the
steamer Saratoga, OF the New York and
Cuba Mail Steamship Company. and COM
rnodore OF the line, wants 10 be indicted.
so that there may be a thorough thrash
ing out OF the question whether or not IT
is cruelty TO turtles to pierce their fippers
and bring them to this port on their backs
while still alive.
Captain Downs was arrested recently for
carrying sixty-hve turtles In such fash
ion on his vessel. He was arralgned in
the Magistrates Court and held for trial
In the Court OF Special Sessions. The steam
ship company by which the captain is en-
ployed says the case is a novel and ex-
traordinary one and that the prosecu-
tion threatens to break up a vast industry.
CAPTAIN Downs asked for a jury trial.,
and 10 have that he would have to be In
dicted. Justice Lehman granted his appli-
cation yesterday.
captain Downs and the steamship line
maintain that the present method OF hand
ling turtles Is not cruel and that the
prosecution of Captain Downs affects all
lines carrying them. Alfred Smith. mana
ger OF the New York and Cuba Mail Steam
ship Company. submitted an aftidavt which
showed the surprising extent Of the turtle
business He said that In 1910 the line
carried l.Ts4 turtles. which brought si20,co
in the local market and on which the
freight charges amounted to $500 In the
sam. year the Mallory Line carried l'lSS
turtles, the freight charges amounting to
s2,2ss.
Smith also filed an article written by
Chapman Grant, Of the New York Aquari-
um. and printed in THE Geological Bulle-
tin" In this article Grant says that the
method OF piercing the fiippers Of the tur-
Ties and shipping them on their backs is
IN. most merciful method to treat them
and also the only practical way
