UNUSUAL REMARK
MADE BY E H. GARY
IN INVESTIGATION
"Government Control and Publicity
of Corporations k in . U. S. Must
.CorneaStrongly Defends Taking
Over of Tenn. Coal & Iron Co.
WASHINGTON. June I. Elbert H.
Gary, chairman of the Unltedj State
Steel corporation directorate, told tne
Stanley Steel trust Investigating com
mlttee today that his corporation
stood behind J. Plerpont Morgan In
averting a disastrous financial up
heaval In 1907. ,
.He insisted, challenging the state
ments of John W. Gates before the
committee that the purchase by the
Steel corporation of the Tennessee
Coal 4, Iron company at that tint
Was made at a higher price than 1t
was worth for the express purpose of
-presenting - the crash of the Nov
York banking Arm of Moore Schley.
Mr. Oary related a dramatic story of
the momentous events which preced
ed the absorption of the Tennessee
concern. He described In detail how
he and Henry C. Frlck at the instance
of Mr. Morgan had revealed the plan
of buying the company, at a price
greater than Its value, to President
Roosevelt and Mr. Root, then secre
tary of state. .He told how he had
concluded after their Interview with
Mr. Roosevelt that any government
prosecution of their act would have
been an ''outrage.'. (
Surprising Statement.
Mr. Gary made many surprising
statements during his eight-hour ex
amination but none more startling
than his declaration that government
control and publicity of corporations
In this country must come. He fald
that through the American Iron and
Steel institution the heads of the steel
trfdustfy were trying to steer a course
between the Sherman anti-trust law,
which., he characterised as archaic on
the oris hand, and the old time meth
ods of destructive competition en .the
other, tn order to operate for the pub
He welfare. Mr. Gary announced to
the committee that he wanted every
thing known concerning the Steel cor
poration, and more than all, he plead
ed, for some responsible government
source to which ich a tveeesary great
corporation could appeal for guid
ance In the conduct of its business.
He agreed to furnish the -committee
all Jt wlshea to know and he will be
recalled when It meet again next
Wednesday. Others who have been
summoned to appear are W. B. Dick
son, of the' Stel corporation, and
John Lambert, of the Republic Iron
& Steel company.,
Mr. Gary told the committee that
enforced publicity and governmental
control of corporations must come,
even as to prices. He said he be
lieved the Sherman anti-trust law was
too archaic to deal with modern situ
ations snd never could fully prevent
great combinations of capital. What
the I'nlted States Steel corporation
wants, he said. Is some official de
partment to which It could go and
say:
"What prices can we charge and
just what can we do?"

Several Offers to Sell.
Telling In detail of the acquisi
tion of the Tennessee Coal 4b Iron
company, Mr. Gary said several offers
to sell had been made by people rep
resenting that company prior to the
fall of 1107, and finally Mr. Morgan
told him that Grant B. Schley, man
aging director of the Tennessee, was
much in need of money to use at the
bank, the Arm of Moore Schley.
"The business finally resulted," con
tinued Mt.. Gary, ."In my. accommo
dating Mr. Schley with a loan of
It.tdMOQ nar value of United States

him an agreement to return those

agreement provided that tt the loan
wag not returned April It, 1108, the
ownership of the $1,000,000 of Ten
nessee company stock should remain
In the control of the United SUtes
Steel corporation."
To Prevent Bankrupt cy.
Later. Mr. Gary aald. Schley told
Frlck that he must sell the stock to
keep him from bankruptcy. "I have
heard since." Mr. Gary went on to
say, "that Schley has made state
ments that he could have got through
all right but any ona who heard him
talk at that time would not have
thought so. Therefore-- I began to
talk to Attorney Ledyard. for the

Of hla conference with President
Roosevelt, Mr. Gary said:
'I remember that Mr. Roosevelt

WASHINGTON, June 1. A lively
controversy over the executive's right
to withhold confidential papers from
a congressional probing committee
wsa'precapltated at the oapltol today
by a flat refusal of Secretary of State
Knox, on the instruction of President
Tart, to iy before the house commit

provided need not be accounted for,
if the president certifies that an item

explained to ; the committee that It
was improper to produce the books
because thereby other undisclosed
Items of expenditures would be re

Secretary Knox replied that It wag
proper when a former president certi
