FERKINS CAUSE OF PANIC IN 1907 Run on Trust Company of America Follow- ed Pubhcatlon of H1s Statement $13,500, 000 WITHDRAWN IN ONE DAY Statement Regarded as so Injudicious That Associated Press Would Not Send It Out—President Thorne Declares Company Was Not “Chief Sore Point”— Testimony at Steel Trust Investigation. Washington, August 11.—Oakleigh Thorne, president of the Trust Com- pany of America, of New York, which became involved M the panic of 1907, and was connected with the taking over of the Tenmessee Coal and Iron company by the United States Steel corporaiion at that crisis, followed George W. Perkins today as a witness before the house committee of inquiry into the affairs of the steel corpora- tion. Thorne Contradicts Perkins. Mr. Thorne farcibly declared, con- trary to the testimony of Mr. Perkins and many other witnesses, that the Trust Company of America was not the ‘“‘chief sore point” at the time it was necessary to save the brokerage firm of Moore and Schiey. Denied Knowledge of Agreement. He surprised the committee by state- ments that undue attention had been directed toward his company’s part in the panic and he denied any knowl- edge of the agreement testified to by Mr. Perkins, taat the absorption of the Tennessee Coal and Iron company by the steel corporation to save Moore and Schley from ruin was dependent upon the bankers of New York taking other horn of the dilemma and ng money for the Trust Company America and the Lincoln Trust company. Trust Company “Sore Point” of Panic. Mr. Thorne was closely examined relating to a public statement given to the press October 23, 1907, and at- tributed to Mr. Perkins, in which it was said that the-chief sore point of the panic was “the Trust Company of America.” Depositors Drew $13,500,000 in One Day He said that after the run on his bank occurred. in one day depositors took out $13,500,000. He admitted he had consulted counsel as-to the advis- ability of suing persons he felt re- sponsible, but that he was deterred by the nccessity of seeking miore money from the bankers of New York to pre- vent collapse of his institution. Held Little T. C. & I. Steck. That his fineneial troubles were in any way involved in the difficulties of Moore and Schley at that time he em- phatically denied and he further said that Tennessee Coal and Iron stock held on collateral for the bank's loans amounted to mothing in that situation. Knickerbocker Trust Company’s Fail- ure. Mr. Littleton referred to the failure of the Knickerbocker Trust company on October 22, 1907, and asked about the condition of the Trust Company of erica on that day. Mr. Thorne told of the condition of the company and of its being exam- ined by Periins and Mr. David- son of J. P. Morgan & Co.. and said: Plans to Save Trust Company. On the morning of October 23 there appeared an article in the New York Times in which the Trust Company of America was pointed out as the ‘chief more point’ and details were given of a midnight conference at the Manhattan hotel, participaied in by Secretary Cortelyon, Mr. Morgan, Mr. Perkins und others where plans were made to save the Tyxust Company of America.” Did Not Attend Conference. “Did you know anything about that | conference that night or were you in- vited to attend it?” Mr. Littleton ask- ed “T knew neshing about it, and was not_invited. “Did Mr. Perkins or Mr. Davidson anything to you the night hefore i -l‘uallon being critical?” sa ahout “They Street Crowded with Deposl(ora. “Hew soon did you open your doors INVESTIGATING RETAIL PRICES OF NECESSITIES Government Begins a Task That Will Consume a Year. Washington, August 11.—The bureau of labor is comdugting a country-wide investigation of the range of retail prices of commodities of life during the last ten vears. The resuits will not be fully knewn for probably a vears. Investigators of the bureau recently made a comprehemsive report of the wholesale prices of commodities dur- ing the last year. which showed a kteady increase all along the line. The department of agricuiture has just is- sued a report on the prices of farm products, tending to show that prices paid to the farmer have been growing less. When the complete results of the thiré investigation now under way are made public, a comprehensive view of the “high cost of living” problem will be available from all angles. MURDERED MAN’S BLOOD DRIPPED THROUGH CEILING Police Now Lsa_king for His Wife With Whom He Would Not Live. New York, August 11.—When blood began to drip thiough the ceiling of an East Side tenement *occupied by Greeks today, the occupants rushed upstairs and found Cristopher Anag- nos, 26, dead, with a bullet wound in his temple. A revoiver with one cham- ber empty and still warm was found in the drawer of his wife’s bureau. The police say the man was murdered. The police records show that Anag- nos deciared two weeks ago that his wife attempted to shoot him because he would not live with her. Separa- tien papers, gramted to the couple, were found ‘in the room. A general alarm was sent out for the victim's When the German Steamer Bulgaria, from Hamburg, docked at Boston yes- she was .immediately boarded of customs officials who lheynext day—10 o'clock?” “What happened?” “Soon the street was crowded with people, and the demands were great. That day we paid out $13,500,000.” Had to Get Cash to Save Situation. “Did ygu call for help?” “Yes; we had to get cash to save the situation that day.” Thorne Tells of Loans. Mr. Thorne told of going to J. P. Morgan’s offieces and securing a loan of one million and later of making ar- rangements for a loan of ten million on twenty millions in securities, and of another loan of fifteen million for thirty million in securities. All l.cans Paid Back. Mr. Thorne said also that he began paying back the loans as rapidly as the Trust company’s securities could be realized 'upen, and all the loans Wwere cleared up by the following Aug- ust and the securities were returned. Made No Reply to Newspaper. The statement printed in The Times was again called to his attention and Mr. Thorne was asked if he made any ]'epl v to it. “No; at that time I was too much interested 'in trying to get money. not to make arguments,” he said. Saw Manager of Associated Press. Mr, Littleton asked the witness if he had conferred during that time with Melville ' E. Stone, general manager of the Associated Press. He said that he had. “I had mever known Mr. Stone until the time of that panic,” Mr. Thorne said. ‘T met him then and went to see him practically every day. Wanted Truth to Get to Morgan. “My idea in talking to Mr. Stone was to urge the necessity of the examining committee making a report to Mr. Morgan. I. yw _if the truth of the statement got to Mr. Morgan we would get heMp. When later he did get the truth, -we got the $15.000,000.” Perkins’ Statement Caused Run. Ashed if he received a communica- tion from Mr. Stone regarding that matter, Mr. Thorne said he had, and he oduced it. It was read into the rec written under date of Novem- ber 18, 1907. In the letter Mr. Stone said: “I have no doubt that Mr. Perkins’ statement on the night of the 22d dis- tinctly emphasized the run on the Trust Company of America, if indeed it @id mot precipitate it. T do not mean by this that I think there was the slightest purpose on the part of Mr. Perkins to injure you or the Trust Company of America. Not Sent Out by Associated Press. “‘But. we felt that the statement was so injudicious that we did not send it out, Later, when I said to Perkins that I thought it was very hurtful, he justified it on the ground that the condition was so strained that if public attention had not been cen- tered upon the Knickerbocker Trust company and the Trust Company of America every bank in New York probably would have been involved. I think the whole thing was a mistal a most unfortunate mistake—for which you had to pay a heavy penalty, but 1 do mot for a moment imagine that there was any malice involved in it.” _ Perkins’ Act Due to Stupidity. “Is it your opinion, then,” Repre- sentative Gardner asked, ‘“that M Perking did nothing more than make a d—n big blunder “That is your way of expressing it,” said Mr. Thorne. “I do not know that Mr. Perkins wrote that statement. I think he gave it out. “Then you acquit him of everything but stupidity 7" “Absolutely PRESIDENT HAS A DAY OF OUTDOOR SPORTS Enjoys Gelfing and an Auto Trip Along North Shore with Mrs, Taft. Beverly, Mass.,, August 11.—A quiet, gray sky that at times dribbled rain greeted President Taft on the first day of his thirc week-end vacation at Beverly. Most of the day the president was in the open air, playing golf in the morning and motoring with M: Taft late in the afternoon. He found time to do a little work preparatory to Wwriting a few veto messages when he gets back to Washington, if he finds vetoes are necessary, but enjoyed all the rest possible. Tomorrow he ex- pects to play golf and Sunday he will probably take a long ride. He will re- turn to Washington Sunday night. The president reached Parramatta, the Taft cottage, shortly after eight o’clock this morning, motoring out from Boston in an hour. When he alighted from his private car in the South station, Boston, a big crowd was in waiting.

POSSIBLE FRICTION IN PRESIDENT’S CABINET Attorney General and Secretary of the Treasury Disagre ‘Washington, August 11.—There is a possibility that the treasury depart- ment may clash with the department of justice over Attorney General Wick- ersham’s recent opinion condemning the practice by which national banks hold stocks in other institutions through the medium of “security com- anies’—a practice which many con- tend is the backbone of the alleged “money trust.” Secretary MacVeagh still has the at- torney general’s opinion under consid- eration. Mr. Wickersham is illing to have its full text made public, but at the request of the secretary has withheid it. Had there been a meet- ing of the cabinet today the problem would have been discussed there. According to precedents in the treas- ury department, Secretary MacVeagh is ‘not bound to act upon the attorney ‘general’s opinion, as he did not ask for 4t. It is that situation which may develop a clash. The secretary’s investigation of the subject has shown that the govern- ment is confronted by a broader situa- tion than was first supposed. The national banks which may come under the Wickersham opinion may be di- vided into two classes: those which control corporations formed for the purpose of holding stocks in other banks, and those which have directly exchangedd shares of their capital | stock for the capital of other banks; large banks which have formed trust companies io meet competition come under the latter head. In his reports to congress and in public_speeches, Secretary MacVeagh has advocated that national banks be allowed to establish trust company de- partments and savings departments on the ground that national banks were handicapped by their limitations. Various proposals from banks, sug- gesting ways by which they may con- form with the law, are being received daily. The attorney general's report holds that there should be a complete dissociation of national banks from other institutions. Bankers who have been to Washington for conferences on i the subject are hoping that Secretary MacVeagh will decline to follow it. AGREE ON 29 PER CENT.
