In Speech Supporting itill to Make Available Itexrts of Commission er of Corporations. Washington, Aug. 15. The per sonal and political relations of Col onel Theodore Roosevelt and George W. Perkins, formerly of ,1. P. Mor gan Co., were bitterly attacked on the floor of the house today by Rep resentative A. 0. Stanley, of Ken tucky, who is chairman of the steel trust investigating committee. In a speech supporting his bill to make the reports of the commissioner of corporations available for congress, Representative Stanley charged that, Roosevelt protected the Harvester trust from government prosecution, and described Perkins as the "go between of the big business" and the government. Representative Stanley's charac terizations if She former Morgan associate were extremely bitter. He dwelt at length on the absorption of the Tennessee Coal & Iron Com pany, by the United States Steel Corporation and charged that Per kins had been able to secure from Herbert Knox Smith, former com missioner of corporations, informa tion which was denied congress. In his attack on Mr. Perkins, Mr. Stanley said: "In 1904 Mr. Perkins in his eag erness to aid his party and his hero, Mr. Roosevelt, actually donated $50,000 of other people's money to the good cause. He gave his per sonal check to Mr. Bliss and was re imbursed by check of the New York Life Insurance Company No. 7, 28;! payable to .1: P. Morgan & Co. The proceeds of this check were trac ed to Mr. Perkins and for this emi nent service he was arrested under a warrant charging him with grand larceny. ' "Perkins knew the consent, of the policy-holders was necessary to save this appropriation of their funds from the guilt of common' larceny and that consent was not and could not. have been obtained. "Who were these pilfered policy holders?" The most pathetic and helpless figure in all this vale of tears. He robbed the widow of her slender patrimony and snatched the last crumb from the pinched fingers of helpless childhood. tn all the loathsome annals of greed and graft there is nothing so sordid and pill less as the creatures who did it. "This man escaped a prison cell by the skin of his teeth by having picked the .pockets of a shroud for the. use and bqneflt of the republican part."

Something is so wrong with the British national summer game of cricket that its fol lowers write letters to the '.papers complaining that the game is bo coming decadent.. This criticism conies at a time which has been hailed as the banner year for Impe rial cricket, with teams from Aus tralia and South Africa competing on home grounds with England for the championship of the empire. But thus far the triangular matches have been exceedingly disappointing from the standpoint of attendance, Recently one of the most. Important county matches attracted only IS!) spectators. Most, of the critirs agree that the fault lies in the slowness of the game and that something must he done to shorten the matches, which now last, generally Ihree days. This plan formerly suited tho Briton who took his sports as solid part of the slow-moving machinery of his existence, but the English tempera-. ment has lost much of its stolidity and the metropolitan areas which supply the gates for all games live and play at approximately the high speed which characterises- American cities. The demand for reform is in the air, but the players ars appar ently satisfied with the present form of the game and in any new rulemaking-they will be able to overrule those who are only interested in the came from the spectators' stand-i point. The loss of Interest In cricket does not seem to have spread to other sports; on tho contrary, other games are enjoying a distinct revi val. Even the ancient games of howls is making great strides, and In Wales the recently introduced game of baseball is becoming very popular, Sir Roger Casement, who wrot-j the recent sensational blue book re port on the rubber atrocities in Peru, was tho man who first brought to light, the horrors of the Congo under the l.eopoldlan rule. He has been in tho consular service for many yearB, but did not gain his knighthood until coronation year. During his investigation in the Congo region he was frequently threatened with assassination and his wife wag many times In jeopar dy. When it was found impossible to scare him out -of the Congo, King Leopold's press begaii r virulent campaign against him, and every ef fort was made to discredit his re ports and to Binlrch his personal reputation. Since 1908 he has been the British consul-general In llo Janeiro.
