STEEL TRUST
CHARGES ARE RIDDLED
Commerce Board Tells Senate
That Corporation Didn't
Get Rebates.

WAsHINoToN, Dec. 10.-Allegations of
David Lamar. 'the Wolf OF Wall Street,
that the United States Steel Corporation
had received millions OF dollars In re-
bates from the railroads Of the country
were officially punctured by the Inter-
state Commerce Commission to-day In q
report to the Senate.
The commission informs the Senate,
which gave Lamar's charges sufficient
consideration to call for an Investigation,
that he knew nothing that was not
already generally known to the public
and that such information AZ he had wa
of a p~erfunctory and unofficial character
and had been derived mainly from re.
ports OF the commission itself. The com.
mission refers the Senate TO it's reports
and concludes:
THE commission coPpes into constant
contact with the records and Accounts OF
railroads and other public carriers
through It's examination Of accounts and
has reason to believe that there b no
basis for the allegation that wholesale
rebates have been paid to the Steel Cor
poration during the period OF six years
mentioned In the resolution"
The Senate IL also reminded that all
the facts have been ascertained and are
accessible In h various public records
to which the commission calls attention.
The Issuing of this report caused much
speculation here as to why tho Senate
hould have passed a resolution Of this
character at the behest OF David Lamar
without requiring any evidence to sub.
stantiate the charges.
