ly but concisely explained by the
county and city health officers In a
statement given herewith.
One Case at Rogers.
Kefardlng the case at Rogers, there
were many conflicting reports yes-

waj not meningitis. Dr. R. W. Noble,
city health officer, made careful in-
quiry aud was Informed by the at-
tending physicians at 10 o'clock last
night that Dr. Smith was suffering
from meningitis, aud that there were
Utile hopes for him living through
the night. Dr. Smith had attended
the family of Dave Griffin In the
Knob (.'reek community, or near Rog-
ers. Two of tha children died and
another one and the mother now
have meningitis and are in a critical
condition. Owing to the various re-
port* concerning both the Rogers case
and the ones In the family mentioned,
this statement regarding them Is giv-
en only after the most careful in-
quiry from tha physicians and others
In position to know.
The Rogers schools have closed.

ing—Many New Case*.
(Special to Tiw Telegram)
Dallafe. Tex , Jan. 10—Ten deaths
and twelve new cases developed is the
meningitis record here today. Most

places. The situation here does not
Improve, In spite of the efforts of the
physicians.
PI YE DEATHS AT WACO.

ported for the Day .

Waco, Tex.. Jan. 10.—Three new
cases and five deaths is the record of
the meningitis epidemic in Waco for
the day.
No Meeting of Company <«
The Telegram received a request
from the officers of the military com-
pany last ni^ht to state that no meet-
ings of the company will be held un-
Statcinent From Health Officers.
The situation remains the same in
Helton and Tempi* as It was yester-
day. No new cases have occurred.
Helton has one case; Temple norte.
Rogers report* two deaths and two
sick in the same family four miles out
in the country, and Dr. Smith hope-,
leasly ill.
Buckholts reports two suspects but
not defhiite as yet.
No other case* reported from the
remainder of the county.
Antl-menlngltlc serum can be ob-
tained from Dr. Craln In Belton and
from Dr. Noble at Temple, also the
drug stores are getting it as fast as
they are able to Mteate it. The supply
Is very limited and hard to get.
Dr. Craln reports the case in Bel-
ton as conscious and apparently im-
proved.
Meningitis is Infectious, that is the
disease can be contracted by coming
In contact with a person who has It;
some people are carriers and dis-
seminators of It, that is they are Im-
mune to the disease but carry the
germs In their nose and other secre-
tory and excretory organs and simply
strew them over the country. Spit-
ting Is one source of communicating
it; also tuberculosis and dyphtherla
and several other diseases. Spitting
on the sidewalks, stairways, floors,
is dangerous; dangerous to you, to
your friends and to the public. If
you have to spit carry spit cups; spit
In the fire or spit in your pocket, but
don't spit where by any means it
might endanger your friends.
% Don't spit In any public place. In-
fection is so easy; cure Is sometimes
Impossible.
Keep away from crowds, the more j
people there are together the more
chances one has of contracting a dis-
ease.
Don't visit an infected town; you
might catch it.
Don't invite friends from an In-
fected town to.vlsif you; they may be
taken sick with it after they arrive
at your house, or they may give you
the disease by being carriers of it.
Stay at home and keep your chil-
dren ,in your yard.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10—.Senator
William Lorimer testified today be-
fore the senate committor Investigat-
ing his eleotion that he never asked
Edward Hlnes, the lumberman, who
it has been said was the man who
made possible Lorimer's election, to
work for him. In fact, he did not
think Hlnes knew enough abqpt poli-
tics to be trusted in that capacity.
He said so far as he knew Hlnes never
contributed anything to his election.
As to whether President Taft favored
him, Senator Lorlmer said he only
knew that such an Impression was
carried to Springfield.
He referred to the now famous mes-
sage which llines Is said to have car-
ried from Washington to Governor
Deneen to the effect that the presi-
dent. Senator Penrose and former
Senator Aldrich were anxious to see
borimer elected.
Lorlmer said Taft hfcd no interest
In him personally and he only knew
Aldrich and Penrose casually. Lorl-
mer will continue his testimony to-
morrow.

issued subpoenas deces tecum far all
documents which thus far the sta^i
corporation had not produced al-
though the committee had expi-Hssed
a desire to examine them.
The subpoenas were served directly
<- •' J J Farreli, as president of !M
corporation, but there was no disposi-
tion to compel him to take the stand.
Tlie subpoenas are returnable January
22. Stanley. Who made a successful

posed to temporising • He declared'

witnesses as hesitate to come aud

Andrew Carnegie testified before
the committee today. He told the
committee of a deal with John D.
Rockefeller whereby he obtained con-
trol of Rockefeller's iron ore hold-
ings In the Lake Superior region at
the rate of fifteen cents a ton. Thesa
holdings, whe^i turned Into the ate«f
corporation later formed a large part
of the assets, valued at seveii hundred
million dollars.
"It did my heart good to think I
got ahead of John I). Rockefeller, my
fellow millionaire," he said.
Carnegie was unable to supply
mahy facts which the committee de-
sired, because, he explained, he nevw
paid-any attention to the books pi the
Carnegie company before its absorp-
tion by the steel croporatlon. f
Carnegie said he began hia stee)^
career In November, 1861, with the
firm of Miller «• Small, and .that in
1862 he borrowed 11,500 from the Na-
tional Bank of Pittsburg to engage in
a partnership lu the Keystone Brldg-i
company of Pittsburg.
"Five or six yf us." he said, "wera
engaged In this. In kK6:i we built an-
other mill in Pittsburg and in 1864
I was one ol' the organisers of the
Superior Ore Mill and Furnace. In
1866 we built the locomotive works
in Pittsburg and In 1867 we united
two other mills in Pittsburg Thiit-
was the beginning of the Carnegia
Steel company, limited."
"In interesting other men with you
In those early days." Chairman Stan-
ley asked, "did you*do so by sailing
stock in Wall street or other ex-
changes. or did you get men of ex-
perience in the Iron businessV
Sought Only EtperleiM'ed Men.
"Oh. no. I did not look i for men
who had no experience in the Iron
business. I was one of the youngest
of these men. and we had very littlo
capital. At different times we would
put In $20,000 or $.10,000 each."
"What was tha capital of yottP
properties In Ihe sixties?"
"My dear sir. 1 have no mora ide»
than yon 4iave."
"I have an idea." replied Stanley.
"Was it as much as $500,000?"
"Oh, yes, the Superior mill akina"
was worth that, but l do not want lo
guess. Give me time aud I will giva
you all the figures. 1 have had so
much to think about for forty, yearn
and in the last eleven years 1 have not
engaged lu the steel business, and so
much has faded from my memory."
Denounce* Banking System.
Carnegie denounced the banking
system of the L'nited ^ States as "»
disgrace to civilisation."
"When panics come in this coun-
try," he said, "they are due to tha
fact that we have the worst banking
system in the world. Panics spread
ruin and If the bill now before con-
gress is passed, we will have some-
thing to prevent such panics."
Carnegie in the written statement
filed with Jhe committed, pointed out
that the steel committee's task h«d
arisen from the fact that the law of
competition in business has seamed
recently to be impaired In certain
fields, notably those of natural oil,
steal and tobacco.
