Former President Quizzed
by Counsel About His
knowledge of the T. c. &
I. Transaction.
QUESTIONED IN
EDITORIAL ROOMS
Counsel for Government
Confined Himself to One
Query; Corporation At
torney Cross Examined.

New York, Jan. 22.-No matter
what might have been the motives be-
hind the U. S. Steel corporation when
it absorbed the Tennessee Coal. q
Iron Co., five years ago, Theodore
Roosevelt as president would have
sanctioned the deal. He SO testified
today at the resumption of the hearing
in the government suit to dissolve the
so-called steel trust.
.Not one thing could have been
known about the company which could
have altered my action" he said en-
phatically. II was dealing with a
panic"
The colonel was questioned for
nearly two hours. He clapped MS
hands and shouted hurrah when ne
stepped down. At times he upbralded
Judge Dickerson,, counsel for the goy.-
ernment for asking questions about
things I don't know anything about
and complained while counsel argued
the hearing was duller than the
kimono strike" & "
Asked about his testimony before
the Stanley committe, the colonel
again denied that he had been de.
.ccfred by Messrs Frick and Cary.
Asked One Question.
The hearing started shortly after II
o'clock. Col. Roosevelt was asked on
ly one question by counsel Tor the
government namely whether state
ment contained In letter which ne
wrote to Attorney General Bonaparte
concerning the T. C. and I. deal were
true. The colonel replied In the al
f1rmative.
r, v. Lindaberry, counsel for the
steel corporation then took up the
cross examination.
Mr.. Roosevelt testified that he was
aware that the government had un-
dertaken an investigation of the steel
corporation before the i. G. and l. was
taken over. "They reported to me un-
favorably in regard to the STANDARD
OIL but favorably in regard to the
steel corporation" he said.
kimono Strike More Interesting.
"This is less interesting than the
kimono strike" remarked Col. Roose-
velt during a lull while counsel dis
cussed the admission of documentary
evidence. &c.,.
Mr.. Lindaberry called Mr.. Roose-
velt's attention to letter in which
Commissioner Garfield of the bureau
of corporations said that he did not
know of single instance in which the
steel corporation had refused informa-
ton to the government. The colonel
said that such was his understanding
of the facts.
81 do not remember at what date the
government was made acquainted with
the operations of the steel corpora
tion," he explained. 1T was not until
Mr.. Garfield undertook his work as
commissioner that had my attention
specifically called to them
$50 you were familiar with these
affairs when you had your interview
with Gary and Frick." g..
"I was familiar with the investiga-
tion," replied the colonel. -
Mr.. Lindaberry read the coloneps
previous denial.

STUDEBAKERS MOVE
OUT WITH RAP|GITY

The rapidity with which the Bis5ee
Auto company has sold out its recent
shipments Of Studebakers explains
why agents for the car are having
such trouble getting their orders
filled.
Among late sales by the Bisbee Au-
to company were 25s, TO Dr. Hughert
and NJ G. Kirkpatrick. both Of Tomb
stone. Both purchasers drove their
cars over TO Tombstone and rep IT
that they are satisfactory in every
detail These two sales have about
disposed of all the cars of the last
two shipments. Even with these rap
i'd sales the demand continues undi.
minished and the Bisbee company has
arranged for another shipment. which
is expected TO arrive in about ten
days It will consist of six cars,
equally divided between the 25s and
35s.
1t is possible THAI a Studebaker

SUGGESTS PLEASURE

Here is a suggestion for the Com

sit Co. remarked c. F. Daley, real
estate man yesterday. Let them get
the privilege of putting the water
now Niumed to the Warren ranch
through lake in Warren. The latter
can be open at each end, permitting
the water to flow through without
interruption. Yet at the same time
here can be made at Warren a lake
II considerable area at small expense

Is at a given level.
Think what a gain this would
mean in attractiveness to Warren as
4 residence locality and as a show
place OF recreation for the entire
district? The lake that could be
made there II the Warren ranch wat
er can be obtained for use as indi-
Gated would ollow the putting on of
boats and the making OF any numbe-
of attractions, pleasing TO the eye and
highly attractive as recreation park

IS
PUT At $4,000

A copy OF the last census report,
for 1910. has been received by the
Commercial club. A supplement to
the report, giving the various pre-
cinct populations in Arizona, has also
been received. AT the time OF pub.
lieatiOn the various precincts making
up the Warren district had a total
population OF 1881.
The Commercial club conservative
ly estimates that the increase since
that time has been % per cent, which
would bring the present population of
the district up to approximately 49,
900. This increase is figured from the
fact that at the time OF the taking
OF the census the camp was at low
ebb. having not yet recovered from
the panic slump.
in the last three years the increase
in population has been greater than
ever in a similar period. For this
reason the increase of % per cent IS
considered very conservative and
many claim that 10000 would be
good deal nearer the mark than 49,
