New York, Jan. 2c.-Theodore Roose~
welt and William Ellis Corey. formea
president Of the United States Steel
Corporation, were the chief witnesses
called today to testify at the resump-
ton OF the government hearings locke
steel trust. Mr.. Roosevelt consented TO
be examined in his editorial Offices. Mr..
Corey was summoned to appear before
the commission In an office building
down town.
The oft-repented story OF the alb.
! sorption by the steel corporation Of the
Tennessee Coal g. Iron Company prom
ised again to be the nucleus OF the ex-
presidents testimony. How he snnc-
toned the deal was told by Mr.. Roose-
Welt when he testified before the STAN
ley committee last year. At that time
he said he was satisfied that the steel
corporation. in taking over the Tennes-
see Coal & Iron Company. was actuated
only by desire to check the panic OF
1907. The government contends thas
the officers OF the defendant corpora
ton misled him as to the state Of af.
fairs.
The present hearing. which will
probably last several weeks, will con-
clude the taking OF testimony in the
government case
Only One Question Asked.
The hearings started shortly after III
o'clock. Colonel Roosevelt was asked
only one question by counsel for tho
government. namely. whether state.t
| ments contained In letter which ho
| wrote to Attorney General Bonaparto
concerning the T. c. q !. deal were
true. The colonel replied In the af-s
| firmative.
! r. V Liniahury. counse. ss- the steel
| corporation. then took up the cross ex-
animation.
| Mr.. Roosevelt testified that he was
aware that the government had UNDER
taken an investigation OF tie steel cor
poration before the T. c. s. I. was taken
over.
"They reported to me unfavorably In
| regard to the Standard OH but favor
ably in regard to the steel corporation,
| he said.
kimono Strike More Exciting.
This Is less interesting than the
kimono strike" remarked Coonel
| Roosevelt, during lull. While counsel
discussed the admission of document
| tary evidence.
Mr.. Lindabury called Mr.. Roosevelts
attention to n letter in which Commis-
Sioner Garfield OF the bureau OF cor
poration. said he did not know OF q
single instance in which the steel cor
poration had refused Information to the
government The colonel said such was
his understanding Of the facts.
'I do not know at what date the
government was made acquainted with
! the operations OF the steel corpora
tions," he said 1T was not until Mr..
Garfield had taken his position that I
was notified OF them"
so you were familiar with anairs
when you had your interview with Gary
| and F'rick?"
II was familiar with the investiga.
| ton"
Mr. Lindabury read the colonefS

Des Moines, Jan. 22.-Joseph Byrne.
Of Waterloo. deputy state auditor, is
conducting a quiet search to find out
if he can legally sign warrants giving
hold-ove members Of the state senate
more than $3.50 for this years session
while he signs warrants for $1,000 for
the remaining members Of the senate
and all members Of the house. The
point Is whether the case at issue
comes under the constitutional provis-
ions prohibiting an official partaking
of an increase Of the emoluments OF an
office voted by himself during his term
OF office.
The question was broached as side
issue during the last session but was
not considered seriously at that time.
Mr. Byrne is the first one to meet the
question in an official way. as the
warrants for the first half pay Of the
legislature, due in two weeks, must be
made out in the near future. He will
make an immediate appeal to state
legal authorities to settle the mooted
question.
The men affected are Senators Allen.

DeWolf, Dunnegan. Garrett. jewell.
Legel. Malmberg, Mates. McManus.

IDAHO TOWN BURNED
St. Anthony Falls Threatened With
Dsstruetion-Larasst Business Block
on Fire and Water Supply 10 Cut of
Because Of Frozen Pipes.

ST. Anthony. Idaho. Jan. Ca The
Ross Hammer block, the largest
building in st. Anthony, is on fire. and
as frozen pipes have practically cut off
the water supply, the entire town is
threatened.
A desperate effort is being made to
prevent the flames spreading. The fire
was discovered at Z a. m. and an hour
later was making rapid headway. The
loss OF this building alone would
amount to- oyer $260.00O. The building
is occupied by the First National
Bank, the Consolidated Wagon and
Machins Company withs.a stock OF
800, 900, Chase Furniture Company.
$4,000: Bell Telephone Company's ex-
change and offices; and by many busi.
ness and professional men.
There seems to be no possibility of
checking the fire.
The flames from the Ross Hammer
block are spreading to adjacent build
fngs on the same side Of the street.
Buildings acros the street are in in11ni-
nent danger. Families are fleeing
with their household goods.
The fire continues to spread. The
Ross Hammer block is completely
gutted and the other buildings in the
block all seem doomed. Great fear is
entertained for the entire town. The
wind, changing suddenly, whipped long
tongues of flames over the tops OF
buildings across the street. The water
supply has absolutely failed on account
Of the intense cold.
The roof Of the Gwynn Ferney block.
to which the flames spread. caved in
with sudden crash that nearly caught
a score of persons beneath. The Rex
burg fire department has just arrived
on a special train. The walls Of the
Ross Hammer block collapsed but it is
believed the securities of the First Ma
tional Bank are safe.
Later and more conservative esti-
mates place the loss at $250,00O. About
half of it is covered by insurance.
Shortly after noon the fire was got un-
der control, after a fight of five hours.
