this record discloses. possibilities Of
even greater abuses"
The part that United States steel,
the absorption of the Tennessee Coal
and Iron company, President Roose-
Welt n Wall street financiers played
in the panic of 1907 are covered in
the report and the insinuation is
made that the panic was an artificial
n designed for the benefit of the
Steel corporation.
In Its comment the committee says:
How a panic which had persist
emily resisted the combined efforts of
the federal government and John D.
Rockefeller and j. p. Morgan G. Co.
and remained in undated fury after
Morgan and Rockefeller had turned
loose $6O,000,0 900 and the federal
treasury $4,000, 900 more should
suddenly be stilled by his manipula-
ton of Grant B. Schley's loans has
not been explained either by Mr..
Roosevelt or by any other witness.
Yet 1t is urgently maintained that the
panic continued prior to this magical
scoop of securities and that the in
slant the Steel corporation acquired
the Tennessee Coal and Iron company
stock it subsidized instantly and per-
manently."
~ SoiiiiIilllee reports mat on
October 26, 1907. President Roose-
welt issued a statement congratulating
Secretary Cortelyou and the business
men who headed off the panic. The
committee says of this:
up until the time of this inter-
view the Steel corporation owed it's
success and its permanency to the
power and the skill of the fnanciers
who had created and the iron mas
tiers who had directed it's operations.
Since that time its dominance has
been due in no small measure to the
sudden, ill-considered and arbitrary
fiat of the chief executive.
THE presidents refusal to inter-
fere was an absolute warrant to pro-
coed. A suggestion from him to the
attorney general was equivalent to a
command: and upon a refusal Of the
attorney general to act. the corpora
ton was immune. This is admitted
by Col. Roosevelt, and he unhesitat-
ingly assumes full responsibility in
the matter"

AIRY Of the Titanic wreck he will be
serenaded in commemoration of it.
He sings almost necessarily and
when not absorbed in talking about
the Titanic. he rambles off on the sub
ieots of electricity and religion. He
has other Authorizations.
On July 10 last Mattson fell while
at work in an iron mine near Sparta.
From all appearances his external in

has been suffering from a mental
breakdown, Judge Ciilpin of the pro-

R0ADH0USE RA|DED
BY THE COUNTY
OFFICIALS
Seven Women and Two Men
Arrested-Were Occu-
plying a Tent.

Wednesday night a raid was made
on an alleged resort north of this
city by Sheriff Daniels and Deputies
Ed Kelly and Holt, who came Owe
from Crookston in two automobiles,
the net result being the arrest Of Mel
lie Rogers and Libby Benner, said to
be running the place and both notori-
and two men.
Deputy Sheriff Holt took Eva Lohn,
Vera Campbell, Ella Miller, Annie
Anderson and one woman, and Aaron
Hooker over last night and Sheriff
Daniels and Deputy Kelly left at
noon with the Benner and Rogers
women and another man, all of
whom will be arraigned before Judge
Gossman late today charged with
maintaining or f~requenting a discr-
derby house.
There were about 200 men about
the place when the raid was made
and for a time 1t looked as though
there would be trouble, but no one
had the nerve to interfere with the
ofhcers' work. though the women in
sisted that 1t was just a little private
party. and hat all were boarders
there.
The raid vas made at 2 o'clock in
the morning, after Sheriff Daniels and
Deputies Kelly and Holt had laid in
the brush for several hours and had
sent Bert Cochrane and George Wells
of Crookston in to- buy beer at the
tent. which they did, thus having con-
elusive evidence and the officers
watched them do it.
The tent was located near the site
Of the roadhouse which burned down
last winter. and which had been
raided.
County Attorney Hagen has been
securing evidence against the place
for some time past, making his last
trip last Sunday, and it is believed
That the whole bunch will be landed
high and dry as due warning has been
given by Judge Watts as to what
would happen If the resort was start
ed again after the last raid. The fac,
that the building had burned and a
tent was being used in this instance
will make but little difference ar
some of those arrested are notorious
characters and have been for years.
