GARY GIVES NEW LETTER
Presents interesting Light on Atti'
tude of Roosevelt Administration.

New York, June S.-Judge Ebert
n. Gary. chairman of the United
States Steel corporation, threw some
interesting light today on the attl-
tude of the Roosevelt administration
toward the corporation when the
president ordered the bureau OF cor
poratlons to investigate it in 1905,
an inquiry which has been going on
ever since. AS a witness for the
defense, in the hearings of the gov
eminent suit to dissolve the corpora
ton. Judge Gary introduced into evil
dence heretofore unpublished letter
from former Commissioner of Cor
porations Garfield, which contained
a memorandum of meeting between
President Roosevelt, Secretary Metcalt
of the department of commerce and
labor. Commissioner Garfield and
Judge Gary in November. 1905.
The memorandum quoted Commits
sioner Gareld as saying that the OBJ
ject OF the proposed investigation lis
to afford the President full Informal
ton of all the facts relating to the
organization, conduct and manage
ment of the corporation upon which
recommendations of legislation
might be made"
"The President spoke of the ques-
.tion of over-capitaliZation,' the
memorandum continued. In answer
Judge Gary stated that if from the
facts obtained Mr.. Garfield was salts
fed that the United States Steel cor
poration was over-capitalized, 1t
would be his duty to so state and
that the steel corporation could not
be punished in any more severe way
than by such publication.
Judge Gary introduced the letter in
connection with testimony to the
effect that the corporation had
thrown its books open to the govern
ment investigators and had never re-
fused any information asked for. 1t
was upon the information thus fur
nished it was brought out, that the
bureau of corporations had based its
several reports upon the corporation
that have been published from time
to time, hundred of thousands Of
dollars" had been spent by the cor
poration, said the witness, in collect
ing this information.
Judge Gary devoted the greater
part of his testimony today to de-
Tending the so-called Gary dinners to
steel manufacturers at which the
government maintains, prices were
fixed in violation of the Sherman act
His cross-examination was deferred
to allow Percival Roberts. Jr., former
president of the American Bridge
company to testify before sailing for
Europe. Mr. Roberts was examined
briefly and will take the stand again

Every one Is familiar with the say

the limpet is largely due to atmOs

they are closely examined 1t will be
seen that the shells accommodate
themselves around the edges to the
