NEW MEMORANDA
DELAY RAIL PROBE
Recess Taken to January rs
for Study-Exchange
Policies Debated.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Senate investigation Of railroad
financing today was in recess until
January rs to allow the committee
time to study certain memoranda
which Chairman Wheeler said became
available only yesterday due to the
tactics OF New York Stock Exchange
attorneys.
A two-hour debate over exchange
policies marked the hearing yesterday,
Wheeler and Richard Whitney, former
exchange president, being the an
tagonists.
Adjournment came q few minutes
after Investigators read memorandum
from the exchanges files warning that
railroad holding companies may come
to be regarded as anti-social and thus
to be the object Of political attack"
Written BY Hoxsey.
The note was written by J. M. D.
Hoxsey, executive assistant to the Ex-
change Listing Committee, in recon-
mending that securities OF Allegheny
Corp, a Van Sweringen holding COM
pany. be listed for trading.
There Is likely to be a strong pub
lie protest." Hoxseys memorandum
read, "if 1t should become apparent
that any large part of the industry of
the country is virtually controlled
through minority holdings"
1t called attention to certain pos
sible weaknesses In the financial
structure" and remarked that ANY
prolonged anti-railroad agitation
might easily render it Of very small.
If any value"
Don't you think the public was
entitled to know what the exchange's 8
expert thought Of this kind Of issue?"
Wheeler asked.
Perhaps the public should know"
Whitney answered. I'm not sure.
It's q broad question"
The broker hotly defended the pro-
priety of Exchange officials partici-
pating in the sale Of a stock issue at
time when they were deciding
whether 1t should be awarded an Ex-
change listing.
Morgan Deal Inquiry.
Wheeler inquired whether J. P.
Morgan & Co. had given Whitney
1000 shares OF Allegheny Corp. stock
at SIS below the market price at about
the time other Allegheny securities
were being considered for listing.
Il don't think your implication
Is q fair one" Whitney said, IF
what you say is true. don't think
1t would in any way affect my judg-
ment as to whether a stock should
be listed"
Wheeler argued that StocR Exchange
officials were in "a quasi hblic posi-
tion," and compared them TO a city
councilman who might help sell public
utility stock while that utility was
seeking a city franchise.
He read into the record the names
of II members of the Stock Exchange
Board Of Governors, who, he said, had
participated in the sale of Allegheny
securities.
Denying that this list had "any
significance" Whitney said the same
men participated in every large issue.

Slight Change in
Business Avtivity


While the recession which began
in January of this year continued
through June, the change from
the preceding month in general
business activity was slight, ac-
cording to the monthly summary
of business conditions of Security
First National Bank. Strongest
phases are found in certain agri-
cultural centers, particularly the
San Joaquin Valley, in the air.
craft, motion picture and petroleum
industries, in the continued grow
tn of the Los Angeles industrial
area and in some specialties such
as furniture sales, telephone install
lations. To some extent these are
offset by declines in building &C.
tiVity and real estate transactions,
and in production of automobile
tires, steel, oil tools, building ma
terials. furniture and other items
Now that the price boomlet has
ended and sizeable declines have
occurred in many quotations, both
consumers and distributors are
buying less freely. AS a consequence
for some weeks past many manu-
facturers have been experiencing
diminution in the volume of new
orders received The phenomenon
is not at all new, having occurred
many times in the past. While 1t is
not possible to ascertain just how
long the adverse effects will last,
most observers believe that they
will be relatively short lived. The
situation is certaily more favorable
to the resumption of recovery than
was the case in 1888, the year of the
previous price-inflation boom.
The California agricultural sit
uation is spotted this year as re-
suit of the January freeze. Gener-
ally speaking. conditions are un-
usually good in areas dependent
upon crops other than citrus and
incomes of these farmers are ex-
pected to be the largest in many
years.
There were no major labor dis
turbances in southern California
during the month. However labor
uncertainties both national and To-
cal continued to disturb business
men and in trade such as building
it is generally believed that unioni-
zation efforts are having an adverse
effect upon the volume of activity

year at about the same pace as
last year. Between January and
May 1897, according to estimates of
the A. F. of L., 1,497,0O0 men and
women went back to work in agri-
culture; this compares with 1888. 900
in the same period last year.
Our estimate for May shows,
however, that there are still more
than 100000 without work.
Workers average weekly income
in May was SO per cent above May
last year, but since cost of living
has risen per cent since May
1896, this does not represent much
real gain. Income of all workers
rose pit per cent in the II month
period, due chiefly to reemploy-
ment."

some legal loophole in the income

Fish said Mrs. Roosevelt's radio
contract called for money she earn
ed to be paid directly to the Friends
Service society, and that thereby
it was possible to avoid the federal
law which limits income tax reduc-
tions for charity purposes to Is
per cent of total income.
IF one person, even the presi-
dents wife, can find one smart
little scheme to avoid tax pay
ments, other people can do it," Fish
contended.
Attacks Probe
Earlier, while treasury officials
sat nearby, Fish charged that the
administration had used "inquisi-
torial methods" in its drive against
tax avoidance.
Vinson asked if Fish's testimony
was biased on hearsay."
And how else could I testify?"
shouted Fish, flushing. ~ calm

smeared any number of Republi-
cans and let the Democrats go

Vinson demanded that he submit
in writing statements substantial
ing his charges against members
of the Roosevelt family, the Nor
genthaus, Hopkins, Lewis and the
others he mentioned.
II don't propose to have any
member of this committee say all
I've said is hearsay," Fish said
MY main proposition, the contract
of Mrs. Roosevelt, already is in
writing"
Fish moved nervously back and
forth at the witness table as he
answered questions.
Fish said that a "Mr. Darby of
80 Rockefeller Centre, N. Y" had
submitted to him data on James
Roosevelt.
He came to my office and said
he had in his possession photostatic
copies of holding companies set up
by James Roosevelt" said Fish.
IT haven't got the photostats,"
Fish added.

well, Darby said he was going
to lecture this fall and the docu-
ments were valuable to him, but
you can subpoena him if you want
to.
Did he want to sell the photos
tats to you?" asked Vinson.
well I wasn't interested in buys
ing them," he said.
Nov about these other men you
mentioned" Vinson asked. do
you know that any of them have
used any tax evasion devices?"

Smith, for instance, had a corpora

What was the name of it?" Vim
son asked.
IT don't know" said Fish.
Are you a lawyer?" asked Vim
son.

piled. us.
Fish Criticized
Vinson then asked him whether
he. as layman, thought his testi-
mony would stand up in any court.
Probably not enough to get any
body shot at sunrise" Fish said,
but it ought to be good enough
for this committee"
After A. Harding Paul, attorney
for the New York Sun, made his
statement, the committee adjourn
ed until next Tuesday, deciding that
the question of whether Morgen-
thau's tax return should be examin-
ed would be decided at an execu-
tive session of the committee.
After the hearing broke up Sen.
Pat Harrison, D., Miss, criticized
Fish.
"If Congressman Fish believes
that the case he presented of Mrs.
Roosevelt who took 81 of the radio
lecture contract to have a society
