ORK, “FRIDAY, AUGUST 4, 1911. TOGO OFF 10 WASHINGTON, RIDES IN CAB OF ELECTRIC iRAIN WITH MOTORMAN detail Formal Greeting by the City for the Great Little Jap- anese Sea Fighter. CROWDS ENTHUSIASTIC. He Wonders at Greatness of New York—“ Peace,” He Says. Admiral Count Togo of the Japan- ese Navy, who sank the Russian fleet in 1905, left for Washington this afternoon with memories of a cordial welcome from the City of New York. From the time he reached the harbor at midnight on the Lusitania until he rode out of the Pennsylvania Sta- tion on the Southern Limited he figured in a succession of incidents illustrating the warm feeling of the people of this community and of the Government of the United States toward Japan. With the thirst for information characteristic of the educated Japan- ese, Admiral Togo wanted everything explained to him. When he was told that the train to Washington ran under the North River he expressed a desire to ride through the tunnel on the electric locomotive. The railroad officials gratified his de- sire. He was allowed to sit alongside the engineer of the electric locomotive on the swift trip from the station to Manhattan Transfer in New Jersey, where a steam locomotive was at- tached to the train. There the Admiral and his attendants boarded the private car Olivette. ‘The distinguished visitor sald before leaving that he would rather face a hostile fleet than the New York pho- tographers. One of these energetic persons, while the Admiral was posing for a picture In his roommat the Knick- erbocker stepped up. to him, him by the face and goed his head around in or@er to place him ina bet- ter light. Another yolled to him, “Smile, why don't you sme?” “tam more than tha@rful,"” he told an Evening World reporter at the Hotel Knickerbocker, “for the cordial treatment that has been accorded me, I only hope the k treatment will continue when I re eek from a visit to Washin Baltimore and Philadelphia." Admiral Togo, as the guest of the United States, was taken from the Lusi- tania at Quarantine at midnight on the revenue cutter neca and escorted to the Knickerbocker This morning, through cheering crowds, he went to the City Hall to call on Mayor Gaynor and later received the Mayor in his rooms at the hotel. Before starting for Washington Ad- miral Togo called the reporters to his suite and made the following statement: “Phis is my first visit to the United States, and in making it I am realizing a life-long ambition, Your Government has made the gratification of that am- bition possible by extending me a kind and generous invitation. AMAZED AT THE WONDERS OF NEW YORK. “IT had been prepared, from reading and hearing others tell, to enter a magnificent city upon reaching New York. I did not expect, though, to see anything 60 wonderful. Of course, I have had but a glimpse of New York, but I intend to explore it thoroughly upon my return, and I shall find much to impress me. “One of you gentlemen has asked me to express an opinion on the peace treaty between France and the United States which was signed in Paris and Washington yesterday. Personally I am a lover of peace. In my opinion this treaty will do much to further the movement for universal peace." The Admiral did not arise until 9.30 o'clock this morning, He was due at the City Hall to make @ formal call on fayor Gaynor at 10.80, and there was considerable by ling in the suite of twelve rooms on the elghth floor of the Knickerbocker, wh. had been reserved for Togo's use by the United Sta‘es Gov. ernment. Inspector McClusky with a squad of 10 mounted policemen and ten cops on motor-cycles clattered up to the Knickerbocker at 10 o'clock and possession of Forty-second street and Broadway, Naturally this big police dis- grabbed | took | WORSE THAN THAT |}!

VISITS MORGAN TO GET $10,000,000 FOR BUNGALOW Then Young Man Goes to Bellevue Hospital to Await Examination. Percy P.

The Ducy boy was also drowned. He was @ son of Patrolman Duffy of the Pros- pect Park station. A score of men and boys witnessed the two drownings and assisted the police in recovering the bodie sfrom the muddy bottom. The Duffy boy went in bathing with © dosen of his playmates, the majority of whom were unable to swim. He had provided himself with a pair of water wings and was daring the other boys to come out beyond their depth. He got along finely until he was out about one hundred feet beyond shallow water, lapsed and he began floundering help- lessly In the deep water. STEEL SECRETS TOLD BY SCHWAB) “I can remember no gentleman's agreement which was made for a detinite period of time. They were broken usually when any party to the agreement felt like breaking it and without notice.” “L have been in the steel business since 1880. In all that time 1 heard every few months of such agreements. Most were never consum- mated. Some were. Some lasted a day, some a few s, some only so long as it took the gentlemen subscribing to the agreement to get to a telephone.” “A gentleman's agreement was an understanding that a number of manufacturers sat down together and agreed that the price should be X dollars, and each should nave a share of the business. If a man broke yne agreement he wasn’t barred from entering another one. “It was my idea that instead of having one mill manufacturing fifty different products It would be better for each one of fifty mills to con- centrate on one product. “Mr. Morgan asked many questions, At the end of my talk he asked me to find out from Mr. Carnegie if he would sell and for what price. 1 did approach Mr. Carnegie.

Charles M. Schwab told the intimate history of the formation of the great Steel Trust to the Congressional Investigating Committee at the City Hall to-day. He told how he suggested a mighty consolidation at a dinner in the University Club at which eighty millionaire bankers, railroad men and manufacturers were present, headed by J. P. Morgan and E. H. Harriman, and how his story of his dream then excited the constructive imagination of J. Pierpont Morgan, who made it come true. Particularly interesting was his frankness concerning “gentlemen’s agreements” between rival steel interests. He had heard of many of | these in his thirty years’ experience, “my dear fellow,” he told Chair- man Stanley. Some were kept, some lasted a day, some a month and others until the gentlemen who subscribed to the agreements could get »{to a telephone. Further explaining, Mr. Schwab sati cently.
