Along with an appreciation Of good
music, Keokuk people should show a
certain amount of civic pride and at
tend the concert tomorrow evening at

The support Of the citizens of Keokuk
to this affair will go long way to-

DIsSOLVING OF

lieve, that it was of imperative neces-
sity that the steel corporation should
not have been interfered with in it's
program. 1t was shown to me plain
sly that to permit it to take over the
T. c. l. would be of great assistance
in alleviating distressful conditions.
1t was then that Dickinson produc-
ed the list of the various independent
corporations that had been taken over
by the trust from the time of its or
ganization down to the T. G. |. and
asked Roosevelt whether he had been
familiar with these facts at the time
he placed his seal of approval on the
transaction in the south.
"No such information ever reached
me either through any government
official, bureau official, nor any priv
ate individual" said Roosevelt earn
estly. Il knew nothing whatever Of
the facts you allege."
But If you had known that the
trust actually dominated the steel in
dustry would it have made any diff
| ference?' demanded Dickinson.
mo sir, it would have not. 1t was
matter of general knowledge that
the Tennessee company was practical
er and it's stock was SO poorly regard
ed that the banks holding it's stock
did not consider that they were in
any way strengthened thereby. l
knew that If the steel corporation
was permitted to take over the Ten
nessee company, 1t would go far to-
ward restoring confidence and end
the panic approved the deal. Had
i had all the information you possess,
lit would not have counted snap Of
the finger. The plan that l approved
was the wisest and best"
! AS soon as the hearing ended.
Roosevelt Jumped to his feet. and
with shout of "let JOY be unconfin-
ed" shook hands with all the counsel
Then he placed both hands on Dick
/ inson's shoulders and impressively
4 said:
! "Old man, want you to come down
4 to Oyster Bay and have lunch with
me. There are many things that |
want to say to you"
The arrangements for the hearing
were different from those at any hear
ing held in this country before. In.
stead of Examiner Brown occupying
the center of the stage no was rele
gated to the rear. The colonel sat at
his big flat topped desk, swaying back
