The wireless operators said that they could not get long distance messages as far as Samana Island except dur- ing the night. As soon as word of the accident to the Pring Joachim reached the Treas- ury Department at Washington cable instructions were sent to San Juan, Porto Rico, to despatch the revenue cutter Algonquin, now on that station, to Samana Key to assist the stranded steamer, and to take off her pi gers should that be necessary. Capt. Fey's report to the New York offices of the line sald that the ship went aground on a key off Fortune Island, where a stop was intended to- day to take on laborers for Santiago. ‘The captain added that his vessel*was resting sliy, and that there was no danger for either the liner or her pi seni ‘The captain sent wireelss cails to the August Wilhelm, which left Colon yesterday and ought to be in the nelgh- porhood of the wreck to-day, and to the Allemania, which left Jamaica Monday.

It develops a speed of about fourteen knots and generally carries @ number of tourist passenger: The Pring Joachim has played @ busy part tn the story of tne sea, In No- vember, 109, some person robbed her strong box of $3.00 She had but recently carried arms and ammunition to Provident Zelaya when that turbu- lent citizen was keeping the Isthmus region engaged in strife, In 1907, when the earthquake played havoc in Ja. matea, the ship was one of the first to take suppl and food to the stricken natives, She went aground at matoa, on January 10, 1910, and was Hoated two days later, She ofven dia acts of kindness to fellow craft in their moments of trouble.

STANLEY HAS SENSATIONAL FACTS TO SPRING. It was learned to-day that Stanley's Investigators have obtained a great fund of sensational information on rail- road rebates, It is sald that certain great railroads have provided data con- cerning the methods of the Steel Trust in dealing with them which will prove the most startling feature of the in- vestigation, if put in evidence, Stantey has been quietly at work for aine months seeking evidence of the alleged domination of railroads by the Trust. The Steel Trust officials know what evidence Stanley hi The plan to block further inquiry 1s | based on the sult filed by Attorney-Gen- | eral Wickersham at Trenton, N. J., to dissolve the trust. Attorney R. V Lindabury, for the trust, says that with the suft filed, the Stanley Com mittee must desist, “The things brought ont so far are merely incidental,” said Stanley to-day. “There are stories to be told that will make the country gasp and if I can Possibly do it, I am going to continue the investigation to the end.” ‘MERRITT’S BROTHER REPEATS ROCKEFELLER CHARGES. Leonidas Merritt, brother of Alfred Merritt, who yesterday told the story of the family loss of valuable ore and railroad property to John D, Rocke- feller, reiterated before the Committee to-day many of his brothers state- ments. In detall ho described how his father, back In the fifties, had predict- ed a great future for the Mesaba re- gions and how he and his brother sank the first ore pit in that country in 1891, Soon afterward, he sald, there was a rush to the territory. “I wanted that country to be a Min- nesota enterprise,” said Merritt. “I didn't want It to be taken up by any rich syndicate and I conceived tha tdea of a State Lease law whereby the peo- ple of the State could get hold of claims, I had naver been in jail, but I had been in the Legislature and, what {9 worse, a lobbyist, and I got the Lease law through. Afterward at a banquet some of the lobbyists told me that if they had known I was going to et the law through it would have cost me something.” Soon afterward, Merritt said, experts went over the range and condemned the ore as useless. That prevented tv Merritts borrowing money. But they worked away on their own resources and began negotiation with capitalist to build a railroad, which led up to the subsequent dealing with Mr, Rocke- Minnesota Tron Company, a rival con- cern, That deal was blocked, At that time Senator Clagfp, who was a stock. holder with the Merritts, and their at- torney, urged them to sell, but they did not. It was at this time that they firat {had Mr. Rockefeller suggested to them ; as the man who might ve interested tn | the projec “I think,” sald Mr. Merritt, “that Senator Clapp was more farsighted than I, and could acent trouble further. I believe now if I had taken his ad T would have been better off to-day.” He described the building of the Du- luth, Mesaba and Northern Railroad, and then came Rockefeller, C.D. Wetmore and J, Wellwood Murray, rep- Tesenting Rockefeller, offered to’ help finance the road, They did furnish $60,. (00 to buy, stock and promised further finanet: lance. But this was not forthcoming, and finally Merritt went to Now York, where he met the Rev, F. T. Rockefeller’s right hand man, ms now hief philanthropic _agen a urged him to accept the consolidation of coneta mpanion and Interests proposed by Mr. Roc! “Gates took me to Rockefelle Merritt. “I felt honored at being called before such a magnate, He seemed to be a kindly, brotheriy sort of fellow. He talked about the weather and asked feller. brother and I were all right, for he had looked us up, and that we had done a great work in Minnesota. “If we would agree to the consolidation he proposed he would take care of us. He sala he would be proud to be my partner and backer. He also said that he never speculated and for that reason would not take any stock tn the consoll- dation. He would just keep the bonds in the proposed Lake Superior Consoll- ated Iron Mine Company that we wero organizing. His talk captured me and I told him T would agree. Then he turned me over again to the Rev. Dr. Gates.” TOLD HIM THAT ROCKEFELLER WAS HARD UP. Gates told him that Rockefeller was hard up, “By golly,” said Merritt, “T believed him then, but now I know that Gates Ned.” Arrangements for the taking over of the bonds by Mr. Rockefeller were de- layed for some time, “It wae brutal,” sald Merritt, ‘the way we were held back by George Wellsworth Murray, Mr. Rocke- feller's counsel and Preacher Gates. In the meetings Gates merely tried to talk the time away. One entire meet- ing, that cost #60 to hold, was wasted on @ discnasion of $5 that he paid to the bookkeeper. °X didn’t realize then that the delays were just an excuse to hold us off. Finally I went to one of the directors of our company, hon- est woodsman whom I had known years before. Me had been to see Mr. Rocke- feller and this is what he said to me! “'% went to see Rockefeller, Zon, and fave him « number of days to do what he had agreed to do with you boys. To-day I went to see him again and he refvsed and I have quit.’” At this juncture Attorney Reid, counsel for the steel corporation, asked Cha'r- man Stanley if he still thought this line of testimony competent in the inquiry. “The chair feels that right at this minute he {s performing the greatest public service he ever did in his Hfe,” Mr. Stanley replied. ‘In connection with the interstate commerce law?” inquired Mr. Reid. “To humanity,” was Mr. Stanley's stern reply. Here Mr. Merritt took up the thread of his story again and described an- other interview he had with the Rev. Mr. Gates. ‘This interview was was still up as collateral Rockefeller.

The witne fd that Gates outlined to him how Mr. Rockefeller and his in- terests could throw him and his brother out of the company to protect other interests, but as they had borne the “burden and heat” of the day he be- Heved they should reap the benefits. “Gates said that Mr, Rockefeller would rather deal with us," Merritt continued, “and If we would deal with him we could remain in the company and ‘be taken care of. In order to do that, he said, we would have to do the Will of Rockefeller, I Hstened in amaze- ment when he sald that if Rockefeller protected that the stocks of others would be thrown down, and he men- tioned the names of seyeral men, My brother, who was present, turned to Mr. Gates and said ‘Mr. Gates, we've got laws in our ‘To do what you want to do would land us in jail.

Gates seemed to be amazed to think that I wouldn't do what ho wanted me to do, and at one time told me I would have to walk home on the ties.” Merritt grew excited as he told the story, and turning suddenly in his chair and facing George W.
