that the United States Steel Corporation
can get along without a tariff on Its
products and that Fhould be sufficient
for the committee to take off the duty on
ateel and Iron.
Caustic Comment on Gary.
Praising: the genius of Charles M.
Echwab. Mr. Carnegie suggested that
Congress should extend a vote of thanka
o Mr. SchwHb for his work In Improving-
the methods of steelmaking In this
country-
I never met his equal." said Mr. Car
regie In speaking of Mf. Schwab; ""and
"when we were partners we were a great
team."
'That Is very apparent," remarked
Chairman Payne.
Speaking; of the testimony of Judge
CJary before the committee, Mr. Car
iegie said:
"You should not place any real value
on the testimony of interested parties.
Judge Gary said that the United States
Steel Corporation could stand for a re
duction In the tariff on steel, but that
the smaller steel manufacturers could
not survive with lowered duties. That
Is like one of Aesop's fables. Judge Gary
Is like the monkey who desired the
chestnuts, but wanted the cat to pull
them out of the fire."
The crowded room frequently rang
with peals of laughter at the qulpa of
Mr. Carnegie, who seemed to be In
splendid shape for the questions asked
by Representatives Dalzell and Payne..
Mr. Carnegie was not willing to med
dle In figures.
"The more figures you get the more
you will be befogged. I do not Judge
by flsniros given by Interested parties,"
he said at another point In his testi
mony. "I Judge by results."
Immense Profit or Trust.
The former steel magnate said that
Judge Gary had Issued an annual state
ment showing that the United .State
Steel Corporation has made a profit of
IISO.KXMXO, which, he said, equaled a
profit of JI5.S0 a ton on all steel pro
duced. Mr. Carnegie avoided direct replies to
questions as to whether the coat of pro
ducing steel at the present time as given
by Judge Gary and Mr. Schwab was cor
rect. "Mr. Schwab's estimate of the
present cost Is based on entirely different
Ideals than his estimate on the cost In
1KI9." was all that Mr. Carnegie would
say.
Replying to a question from Mr. Cock
ran. Mr. Carnegie declared that the re
moval of duty on steel would not neces
sarily affect the prices, because Burope
could not successfully compete with the
American product. He also said that If
the figures given by former witnesses
were absolutely correct steel stock could
be sold far below pur value.
Don't Trust Interested Opinion.
Mr. Carnegie spoke of the difficulties
he experienced with directors Ignorant of
the steel bus'ness. "I gradually bought
them out and sot men like Schwab
around me and we made the cheapest
steel that has ever been made."
"You've been out of steel some time?"
said Mr. Payne. "Can you tell us where
you can got the figures on the present
cost of making steel?"
"I don't know where I can get you the
figures," was his reply.
"If a Judge was Interested In the case
you would not respect hie decision, would
you?" he asked, referring to the steel
manufacturers who have appeared before
the committee. There was no reply to
Mr. Carnegie's question.
"Silence in the courtroom," he laugh
ingly remarked. "It is too bad I .lave
to submit to this cross-examination and
can't get a chance to cross-examine these
dignitaries."
'o More Iron Ore In 4 0 Years.
Mr. Carnegie asserted that at the rate
at which iron ores are being extracted
the supply would be exhausted In 40
years. He based his statement on the
best expert opinion ho could obtain, he
said. He also, said that Kngland Would
be in the same condition In seven years.
The testimony of Judge Gary was fre
quently referred to in the questions asked
of Mr. Carnegie. Reference was made
particularly to a statement that the duty
on steel could be taken off as far as the
steel corporation is concerned, and Mr.
Carnegie said this portion should be ac
cepted by the committee. An argument
was precipitated by this statement be
tween Messrs. Fnyne and Dalzell on one
aide, maintaining that Judge Gary did
not say the duty could be removed on all
steel products, and Mr. Cockran on the
other hand, maintaining that Judge
Gary's testimony was to that effect.
Trust Can Stand Free Trade.
"Judge Gary has summarized the facts
for you." said Mr. Carnegie, "and I
should depend upon them. He has told
you that they do not need the duty. If
the cost of steel rails has increased
abroad as it has Increased here, you will
find Judg Gary's statement quite true
and that he could stand free trade."
"Judge Gary has testified that the
prices are high abroad," said the chair
man. "Then does that not show you have
nothing to fear from free trade?" was the
prompt rejoinder.
Mr. Carnegie was questioned at length
regarding the cost of producing steel, but
the witness declared that honest men
easily could differ on that question. The
steel business, he said, was a business by
itself, and the cost to one man was a
very different thing from the cost to
ajiother.
When a gentleman of Judge Gary's
character."' he said, "comes to you and
tells you he does not need a tariff, you
ought to believe him."
He Insisted In reply to questions by Mr.
Bonycge that the railways were not pay-

ing too much for steel rails. The steel
rail makers, he thought, were making a
fair profit.
"How about other steel products be
sides steel rails?" Mr. Bonynge inquired.
"X have not a word to say," Mr. Car
negie replied. "That's out of my prov
ince." Gary's Tender Solicitude.
Mr. Ford recited the testimony of Mr.
Schwab and was 'interrupted by Mr. Car
negie with the remark that "he is a
genius."
Breaking in upon a Scotch story which
Mr. Carnegie related and In the course
of which the witness mentioned the name
of Mr. Gary, Mr. Ford asked If It were
intended to characterize Mr. Gary as a
"sleek article?"
"His solicitude for his weaker brethren
Is sublime," said Mr. fc'arnegie, referring
to Judge Gary's contention that the
smaller steel manufacturers could not
stand the abolition of the duty on steel.
Mr.- Carnegie said the manufacturers
of Wales could make a ton of Unplate
a shade -cheaper than it could be made
here and that the cost of manufacturing
steel is greater In Great Britain than
here.
' Xo Foreign Steel Imported.
It Is a condition and not a theory that
concerns the committee at this time,"
said. Representative Longworth. In reply.
"It is understood that the President-elect
will call a special session of Congress for
the purpose of enacting a tariff bill and
we must prepare the facts for them to
pass on. We have no time to send ex
perts to Europe. What I want to know
besides the testimony given by you and
Judge Gary, who I don't think wont s
far as you do, what reason have we for
taking the duty off steel?"
Mr. Carnegie pointed out that prac
tically no foreign-made steel Is imported
to this country.
Mr. Carnegie had planned to leave for
New York on an afternoon train, but
when Mr. Payne asked him if he desired
to continue his testimony today or ap
pear again tomorrow, he arranged to stay
in Washington tonight.
"I consider It my duty as a citizen to
come here a week If necessary," said Mr.
Carnegie.
Ready to Answer Critic.
Mr. Carnegie concluded his testimony
shortly before 6 o'clock and was about
to leave when Alfred O. Crozier, of
Wilmington, Del., asked permission to be
heard. He also asked Mr. Carnegie to
remain and hear his remarks, explaining
that they would be In the natune of a
criticism of the former steel king views
on the tariff. Mr. Carnegie waited a few
minutes, and then left, saying he would
like to get a copy of Mr. Croxier's re
marks after they are printed.
"I shall read it with pleasure," he said,
"and if the gentleman crlrloises me I
shall say. wht a pity that gentleman
does not know better,' and If he is with
me I shall probably say, "what a wise
young man he Is.' "
Mr. Crozier addressed his remarks prin
cipally to the magazine article recently
published over Mr. Carnegie's name, in
which, he said. Mr. Carnegie dealt, a
severe blow at the entire protective sys
tem. He said that Mr. Carnegie had
kindled wide doubt as to the wisdom,
necessity and value of protection. Mr.
Crozier maintained that Mr. Carnegie's
proposition to take the duty off steel
would have the effect of leaving the
United States Steel Corporation forever

lloune is the head of the secret
sorvice of the Treasury Depart

annual field uay at the barracks and
the day will be a holiday for the sol
diers, drill being suspended. The field
sports will begin about 8:30 In the
morning and continue till after noon.
Among the contests will be footraces
of 50, 100, 220 and 440 yards; a tug-of-war
will be an interesting feature, and
Company B, Engineers, have already
placed a side bet of, $50 that they will
win this event.
The most exciting contest, however,
will be the mounted wrestling match.
There will be five on a side, repre
sentatives respectively of Batteries A
and B. These soldiers will all be
mounted on mules, and the contest
will be to see who can stick longest to
the mule. The Judges of the day will,
be three commissioned officers. The
prizes will be passes permitting the
winners to leave the post from one day
to one week, allowing them free to go
anywhere they desire.
Arrangements are being made for
giving the 1300 or more soldiers at the
barracks a big turkey dinner Christ

ton and a half of turkeys. The sol
diers themselves will furnish the re
mainder of the menu. The menu will
be printed and. the names of officers
and men of each company will be
printed on the opposite side of the
card.

Court Denies 111m Right to Testify
at Pittsburg Hearing.
FHIL.ADEi.PHIA. Dec. 21. Harry Ken
dall Thaw, the slayer of Stanford White,
who is confined in the State Hospital for
the Criminal Insane at Matteawan, can
not be taken to Pittsburg to testify in
the bankruptcy proceedings, according to
a decision handed down today by the
United States Circuit Court of Appeals In
this clti". Whether the case will be tyiken
to the United States Supreme Court is not
known here. '
The decision affirms the action of Judge
Voung, of the United States Court for the
Western District of Pennsylvania, sitting
at Pittsburg, who quashed a writ of
habeas corpus compelling Robert B.
Lamb, superintendent of the Matteawan
Asylum, to turn Thaw over to a United
States Marshal for the prisoner's appear
ance at Pittsburg. The writ was allowed
by Judg9 Archibald, of the United States
Court for the Middle District of Penn
sylvania, sitting at Scranton, who was
looking after the business in Judge
Young's court while the latter was in
Europe last Summer.
NEW TORK. Dec. 21. Asa Bird Gardi
ner, who argued the case 1n favor of the
State of New York, said today, in his
opinion, the court's decision ends the
chances of Thaw being taken to Penn
sylvania. He bases his opinion on the
fact, he said, that the Supreme Court of
the United States recently denied the ap
plication for a writ of error in a some
what similar case.
