U. 5. RAIDS S1O,O00,O00 MILL
SIX NEW YORK STOCK PROMO.
TIERS ARE ACCUSED.
Raid Conducted by Postotfice Inspec-
: tors at Offices of Sterling
. Debentue Co.

New York, Dec. 23-On a federal in
dictment charging fraudulent use of
the mails in promoting stock for a.
mill where linen was supposed to be
made in day, six men were arrested
in raid conducted by posto(1ice in.
spectors at the Offices of the Sterling
Debenture company here.
The authorities estimate that the
yearly income of the promoters in this
and other ventures has been more than
$1,000,000 and that nearly $4,000, 600
of the public's money has been paid
over to them since they began doing
business.
Investors in many parts of the coun-
try are named in the indictment as
complaining witnesses and the alleged
unlawful conspiracy specified extend
ed over period of 10 months, ending
Dec. 81, 1909. Government authorities
here have been investigating COM
plants against the defendants for six
years, they say.
The men arrested are Frank w. Shu.
maker, former president of the Ster-
ling Debenture company, and Harry
H. Platt, Samuel E. Findlay. Edwin A.
Barron, Wilbur M. Stone and Sidney
Rosenbaum.
They were held in bail aggregating
$32,50O. Three other men are named
in the indictment. One of them, ac-
cording to news received last night,
has been arrested in Chicago. The
others are believed to be in Brookfield,
Mass.
According to the indictment, invest
ors were induced to send money to the
Sterling Debenture company for the
purchase of stock in the Oxford Linen
Mills, a Maine corporation, under the
fraudulent representation that the OK
ford mills owned, exclusively, patent
and secret processes that would manu-
facture linen from American grown
flax at one-third the cost of foreign
linen, and in quicker time.
According to the postal authorities,
the Oxford Linen Mills are not now
connected with the Sterling Debenture
company, having broken away from
any affiliation with that concern.
One Arrest in Chicago.

former president of the Sterling De-
benture company of New York. was ar
rested here on a charge of using the
mails to defraud.

SAYS MONEY TRUST
IS NOT POSSIBLE
ALL THE BANKS IN chRlsTEN
DOM COULD NOT FORM COM.
BlNE SAYS ]. p. MORGAN.
FAvoRs COMBINATIONS.
Ftnaneier Disclaims knowledge That
& He Wields Vast Power-Seeks
No Such Position In
Finance.

Washington, Dec. 21.-J. Pierpont
Morgan told the money trust investi.
cation committee of the house thai
"all the money in christendom and
all the banks in christendom" could
not form monopoly, Mr.. Morgan dis.
claimed any knowledge that he WELD.
ed a vast power in modern finance,
and declared emphatically that be
sought no such power.
For nearly five hours the chief wit.
ness, called by the committee in its
probe of the intricacies of modern Fl.
nance, stood running fire of ques.
tons that covered every phase of fl.
nancial operation.
Remarkable Hearing.
In some respects it was one of the
most remarkable hearings about the
halls of congress in recent years. with
Mr.. Morgan as the type and embodi.
ment of financial operations on a
colossal scale, and the committees
counsel Samuel Untermyer, the rep.
lresentative element which seeks to
probe to the innermost recesses the
conditions under which vast financial
operations are conducted
Prefers Coordination"
Mr. Morgan gave at length his views
on competition, combination coopera,
,tion and control in industry and fl.
nance, particularly the latter. He de-.
clared that he did not mind competi.
ton" but that he preferred "comb bina.
ton" in his operations. He was EN-.
phatic in his declaration that there
is no way one man can get a monop.
oily of money"
Throughout the long examination to
which Mr.. Morgan submitted with an
evident willingness to answer there
was not moment when interest
Jagged. Short. sharp questions and
answers came with striking rapidity..
While the colloquys were at times
emphatic there was no serious clash
between MIR. Morgan and Mr.. Unter.
myer.
Mr.. Morgan gave a ready response
to questions, although there was often
battle OF wits as to the meaning and
effect OF various financial conditions
and operations.
The question of competition and
combination brought about a lively in.
terchange between the noted financier
and Mr.. Untermyer, the latter opening
the tilt with the suggestion that Mr..
Morgan was opposed to competition.
The witness denied this, but said
that he favored cooperation" add.
Ing that he was in no way opposed to
competition and in fact liked a little
competition"
Disagrees With Untermyer.
He disagreed with the views of Mr..
Untermyer on the question of inter,
locking directorates, which forms the
basis for large part of the statistical
evidence that makes up the record of
the money trust investigation UP to
date. Without actual control, Mr..
Morgan claimed. there is no control,
although some directors may be com.
mon to several corporations
