 of MT. Morgan in great measure that there has been recognition by some of the large corporations that this is the day of pub licity, radically different as is the policy of publicity from that characteristic Of all business will within a few years. That was taciturnty. Mir. Morgan counseled the publication of the fullest details re- specting the organization of the United States Steel corporation. It was due to his suggestion that the corporation made it's first published report to the depart ment at Washington with such perfect revelation of the character of its business and it's methods as to cause astonishment. No other private banking house in the United States has made such complete voluntary revelation of many of it's jm- portant business transactions as has been the case with the Morgan house. When Mr. Untermyer was acting as counsel for the so-called Pujo committee he found it necessary to ask as a personal favor that information be furnished to him by MT. Moraan's house. From that house he ob- tained information which showed the total d. posits carried by that house, and 1t was not necessary, excepting as a matter Of form, to subpoena any of the parties and compel then to give testimony on these matters under oath. At the time of the purchase by the government, in President Cleveland's administration, of some $62,- 0Oo 000 in gold from the so-called Morgan Belmont syndicate there was widespread criticism of the terms exacted by the syn dcate from the government, and the in- tiinations were many that the syndicate had compelled the government to stand and deliver millions in the way of profit. Had publicly been as widely observed at that time as is now the case the public would have known how small the actual profit to the syndicate in this transac- tion was It was relatively as small as the sun recently named by the Morgan house as it's commissions for financing some S167 oJ0,0O0 for the New Haven com pany.
 Many persons in this city venture to say that perhaps the chief value, so far as the public is concerned, of the recent de- tailed statement of the dealing of the house of J. P. Morgan & Co. for 20 years with the New Haven railroad is the pub lcity freely given to all of these deal ings. And it is also spoken of as of value to the present members of the house that is the basis upon which all of those ion of so many people respecting the deal- ings which the house had with the New Haven railroad. Publicity, therefore, serves to create or renew confidence, and that is the basis upon which al lof those who in recent years have favored pub licity with respect to corporation or bank ing affairs have placed their argument.

Judge Blackwell in Statement Denies He Will Get Through Change in
 Road Law-Company D Is Ready to Surrender

Anniston, March 15.-(Special. .)-Judge Hugh D. Merrill who Yill next hear the charge of embezzlement against James G. Oakley former president of the state convict department, if called, returned from Cleburne county Saturday night. He declares. however that 1t would be contrary to his duty for him to express an opinion on the outcome of the trial at Montgomery last week, and he has made no public comment on the case.
 Owing to the fact that Oakley is schod- uled to appear before Judge Merrill at Columbiana on April :, to account for the alleged purchase of land in Shelby county with state funds that are said to have been deposited by him at Montevallo, to- gether with the strong indorsement he received by Annistonians prominent in public life and the further fact that he was succeeded as president of the convict bureau by an Annistonian, M. B. We'll born, much interest has been manifested in the Oakley case here.
