Statement Describe Panic.
The text of Colonel Roosevelt's state
ment today before the committee fol
low.: "In the Fall of 1W there were se
vere business disturbance, and finan
cial stringency, culminating In a panic
which arose In New York and spread
over the country. The damage actu
ally done was great, and damage
threatened was Incalculable. Thanks
largely to the action of the Govern
ment, the psnlo was .topped, and In
deed of being a serious business check.
It became a frightful and Nation-wide
calamity, a disaster fraught with un
told misery and woe. to all our people.
For several day the Nation trembled
on the brink of uch a calamity, of uch
a disaster, as you gentlemen doubt-
rmmir
"During these days the Secretary of
the Treasury was personally in hourly
communication with rew lora. ioiiow
ir, ,r,rr chance In tha situation and
trying to anticipate every development.
It was the obvious duty of the Admin
istration to take every .tep posslbl.
to prevent an appalling disaster by
checking the spread of the panic before
it grew so tfcat nothing could check It.
mnA event moved with such speed that
it was necessary to decide and to act
on the Instant a. each successive ensw
arose. If the decision and action were
to accomplish anything.
I "rick and Gary Call.
-The Secretary of the Treasury took
various action, some of hi. own In
Illative, some by my direction, late
one evening I was Informed that two
representatives of the Steel corpora
tion wMhed to see me early the fol
lowing morning, the precise object not
being israed.
-Neit moraine, while at breakfast.
I waa Informed that Messrs. Frlck and
O.ry were waiting at the office. .0 I
at once went over, and aa the Attor
ney-General. Mr. Bonaparte, had not
et arrived from Faltlmore. wnere ne
had been passing the night. I sent a
message asking the Secretary or state,
Sir. Koot. who was also a lawyer, to
loin us. which he did. Before the cloee
of the Interview, and In tha presence
of the three gentlemen named. I dic
tated a note to Mr. Bonaparte, eettlng
forth exactly what Messrs. Frlck and
Gary had proposed and exactly wnat
I had answered so that there might
re no possibility of misunderstanding.
This note was published In a Senate
document while I ws etIU President,
and Is already spread on the minutes
of your committee.
Panic I Arrested.
"From the best Information at my
disposal I believed (and believe) that
the addition of the Tennessee Coal at
Iron Company property would only in
crease the proportion of the steel com
pany's holdings by about 4 per cent.
making them about (1 per cent Instead
of about 19 per rent of the total value
In the country, an addition, which by
Itself, tn my Judgment (concurred In.
I may add. not only by the Attorney-
General, but by every competent lawyer
with whom I talked) did not work to
change the legal statue of the Steel
Corporation. Furthermore, I believed
that the action waa emphatically for
the general good: that It offered the
only chance for arresting the panic and
that It would probably arrest the panic.
as It dli.

as set forth In my published letter, to
the effect th.t I did not deem it my
dtitv to Interfere that la. to forbid
the action which more thaa anything
Is In actual fact saved the situation.
-The result Justified my Judgment.
The panic was stopped, public con
fidence In the solvency of the threat-
ened Institution being at once restored
"Incidentally. I may mention that
when I was tn Birmingham last Spring
every man I met. without exception,
who waa competent to testify. Informed
me voluntarily that the results of the
action taken had been of the utmost
benefit to Birmingham, and therefore
to Alabama, the Industry being profited
to an extraordinary degree, not only
from the standpoint of the business,
but from the standpoint of the com.
munlty at large and of the wagework
re by the change in ownership. The
remits of the action I took were ben
eficial from every standpoint, and the
action Itself at the time when It was
taken was vitally necessary to the wel
fare of the people of the United States.

that I acted pure'.y on my ow inula-

act was solely mine.
Panic Called for Action.
-I was intimately acquainted with
the situation la New Tork. The word
panic' means fear, unreaaoning rear;
to ston a riantc It is necessary a re
store confidence: and at the moment,
the so-called Morgan Interests were
the only Interests which retained a full
hold on the confidence of the people
of New Tork. not only the business
people, but the Immense mass of men
and women who owned small Invest
ments or had small savings in iu
banks and trust companies.
"Mr. Morgan and his associates were.
of course, fighting hard to prevent the
trust from Increasing to such a degree
loss of confidence, and the panic dis
trust from Increasing to such a degree
aa to bring any other big financial
Institutions down, for this would prob
ably have been followed by a general
and probably world-wide crash.
"The Knlcaemocaer ini
had already failed, and runs had begun
or were threatened as regards two
other big trust companies. These com
panies were now on tne ngnwng im,
and It was to the Interest of everybody
to strengthen them In order that the
situation might be. saved. It was a
matter of general knowledge ana do
llef that they or the Individuals promi
nent in them held the securities of the
Tennessee Coal Iron Company, which
securities had no market value ana
were useless as a source of strength

"But If the man Is worth his salt he
will do his duty: he will give the people
the benefit of the doubt and act in any
way which their Interests demand and
which is not affirmatively prohibited
by law. unheeding the likelihood that
he himself, when the crlsl. la over and
the danger passed, will be assailed for
what he has done.

'""You say Gary and Frlck tojd you It
would Increase their control of finished
products more than 4 or 6 per cent by
taking over the Tennessee Coal &
IronT" asked Mr. Stanley.
"My memory of that Is (I am a lit
tle doubtful) It was four years ago that
they said this would Increase their
output to no more than to per cent
of the total and that some other In
formation was given me that It would
run It upto 68 or to per cent and
that that advance was trivial, "Mr.
Roosevelt replied.
"Was it your Impression that they
were buying some steel mills In Ala
bama and the Tennessee coal and Iron
plants and oresT" -
"They did not go into the details at
all as to the extent of the property."
was the reply. ,
"If they had advised you that the
purchase of the Tennessee Coal & Iron
Company would have Increased their
output In the South 7S to SO per cent
or something like that, would you have
considered such an absorption favor
ably T Mr. Btsnley continued.
"Of course I cannot answer such a
question as that becau.e I would have
to Imagine a great many condition, of
which I do not know," Mr. Roosevelt
replied.
Accuracy of Information Questioned.
Mr. Littleton, taking up the ques
tioning, said:
"It appear, from the evidence of Mr.
Schley that the Tennessee Coal A Iron
stock which was In the street was In
banks and trust companies of the city.
Did Mr. Gary or Mr. Frlck say at that
time that there was any trust com
pany or bank which had so much Ten
nessee Coal A Iron Company stock as
collateral that unless It waa exchanged
for something else, the likelihood was
that the bank or trust company men
tioned would faiir
"I cannot be sure that banks or trust
companies were mentioned."
Mr Littleton pressed Mr. Roosevelt
with questions relating to the ac
curacy with which Mr. Gary and Mr.
Frlck had represented to him the situa
tion In New Tork.
"I was then thoroughly satisfied. Mr.
Roosevelt said, "and after events were
more than satisfactory evidence that
what waa done waa necessary to save
the situation, to prevent the spread of
the panic Many of your questions re
quire me to eearch the hidden domain
of motive of Mr. Gary and Mr. Frlck.

la to pull hard on that rope."
Mistake I. "Preposterous."
"Well. In this esse. 'the question Is
whether the rope was attached to the
eall against which the storm was
breaking or whether It was a guy rope
attached to the mast and whether you
were properly advised and pulled the
right rope." suggested Mr. Littleton.
"Mr. Littleton, during that storm, no
man was capable of making a mistake.
Supposition, of such a proposition Is
preposterous. We were pulling on the
rope attached to the sail that was In
danger. The results show that It was
not possible for us to have been In
error."
Mr. Roosevelt then referred to the
subject of trusts and to the fact that
he had frequently expressed his opin
ion tn his niesssges to Congress.
They were not always received with
enthusiasm," said Colonel Roosevelt.
Mr. Sterling; asked Mr. Boosevelt if
anything had oocurred, or If any In
formation had reached him .Inoe he
took the action, to lead him to change
the view he took at the time.
"Every particle of Information com
ing to me .lnce that time," replied Col
onel Roosevelt, with animation, "ha.
convinced me that my course was ab
solutely correct and that It would have
been well-nigh criminal if I had not
done as I did.'.
Account Believed Accurate.
Representative Toung, of Michigan,
asked Colonel Roosevelt if he believed
the representations made to him at the
time he took action were accurate. The
ex-Preeldent replied that he had ac
cepted those representation, at the
time as aocurate and he believe them
now to be accurate and to be In keep
ing with the course he had pursued.
When Colonel Roosevelt had con
cluded his statement, and replle. to In

ing session to.a close, with an expres
sion of thank, on behalf of the com
mittee for Colonel ttooeeveiie

"As an ex-Preeldent; who Is now only
a plain citizen of the United States,"
responded Colonel Roosevelt, as he
rose to withdraw. "I am glad to help

zen would help It."
Colonel Roosevelt then walked out
