TO INVITE ROCKEFELLER AND Committee Investigating Sfeel Trist to Give Them Chance to Defend Thems:lyes Against Charges of Merritt Brothers—Effort “to” Have Their Testimony Stricken From the Records is Defeated. —_— Washington, Nov. 22.—John " D. Rockefeller and his almoner, Rev. F. D. Gates of Montclair, N. J., will be | invited by the’house committee of in- | quiry into the United States Steel corperation to answer testimony given yesterday and today by Alfred and Leonidas Merritt of Duluth, Minn. The | Merritts, allege that, through Gates | Rockefeller took from them in 1893, $10,000,000 in Mesaba Iron Mine, and | Duluth, Mesaba and Northern rail- | roads “te satisfy a call loan of $420,- #90." These securities were afterward | sold te the Un! States Steel cor- | poration, and are today a part of that | corporation’s vast holdings. Not Compeifed to Appear. | After Leomidas Merritt testified to- | day that ke went to New York with $10,000,000 in securities and met Mr. | Rockefeller, and two months later he had nething except a ‘“chance to walk from Now York te Duluth on the ties,” the stoel committee held an executive sesston. Previously Chairman Stanley had anneunced that Mr. Rockefeller would be subpoenaed. The committee deeided, however, merely to ask Messrs. Rockefeller and Gates if they wished to appeur and to zive them an opportunity to be heard. | Will, Not Subpoena Rockefeller. | “Tf Mr. Rockefeiler does not wish to me before the committee,”” Chairman Stanley announced, “the committee will not issue a subpoena for him. The same applies to Mr. Gates.” Wanted Testimeny Stricken Out. & When Merritt had finished his testi- | meny, during which he dramatically described how Mr, Rockefeller first came to him ;with his proposal of a consolidation of interests in the Lake Superior region, lent him money and then foreclosed on him, leaving him and_his brother without any equity in proferties they had discovered and financed. Representative Danforth of New York moved that the testimony of both brothers be stricken from the record on the ground that it was ir- relevant to the inguiry. This motion was lost. No Value in Investigation. In the discussion of the motion Rep- resentative Gardner of Massachusetts, who voted with Mr. Danforth in favor of it, said: “It_seems to me that this testimony is of Jittle value to the committee in getting nat ore values or freight rates, even theugh it does—perhaps 1stly so—cast obloquy on Mr. Rockefeller, I cannot seée where is of’ any value in this investigation. # A Service to Humanity. Of the same mund were George Wellwood Murray, counsel for Mr. Rockefeller. and D. A. Reid, counsel for the steel corporation, but when the motion had becn voted down, Chair- man Stanley said that he thought that by admitting the testimony of the Merritts, he had done a great service “to humanity The committee ad- journed tonight, probably not to meet again until after congress convenes. The objection by the steel corporation to a continuarce of the hearings be- cause of the government's suit against it will then be taken up by the full committee.

E——— FOSS ANMD COUNCIL AT LOGGERHEADS. Republican Body Refuses te Confirm Governor’s Neominations. Boston, Nov. The objections tu the selection of Governor Foss of Prof. Garret Droppers of Williams college, president of the University of Dakota, as a member of the Massa- railroad commissiol were by. the governor's council by a vote of 7 to 1, his lone supporter being John Quinn, the sole democratic member of the council. The council also rejected the nomi- nation of Warren ¥. Spalding of Cam- bridge as a member of the prison com- mission. Governor Feoss withdrew another nomination, that of David P. Stone- man as judge of the Dorchester court, before the council could vote on it. The hearing on the nomination of Professor Dropper took place. just be- fore election and proved ene of ®the most spirited in the council for years. One of the stromgest objectors te Professor Dropper was Charles Fran- lcis Adams, 24, treasurer of Harvard {college, whe said that he had sarved |on & committee mission with Professor | Dropper and that the latter was totally unfit to hold office because of his lack of fairness, and that it would be a public calamity for him te serve on the raliroed commission \ \ It’s a bad mistake, for any purpose, to get inferior flour. You save nothing by it. You get less bread —immensely poorer bread. . And part of it can’t digest. Flour is all-important.
