L. S. STEEL'S ANSWER.
Was Never the Intention to Make New
 Bends Convertible.

New York. June 19.-Vice Chancellor Emery received yesterday at Newark the answer filed by the United States Steel corporation in the suit brought by Miriam Berger of this state to restrain the corporation from retiring $200, ,000 600 of the preferred stock and issuing ir- stead $2,500,0O in bonds.
 In the answer the corporation recites the action of the finance committee and directors in the approval of the con- tract with the J. P. Morgan x Co. syn dicate and the indorsement of it by the stockholders. It is shown that after the committee and officials of the steel corporation had decided upon the re- tireInent of the preferred stock, vote Of the stockholders was secured and out of S.124.435 shares. exclusive of the Morgan 6 Co. shares amounting to 2C013 316 5,642, ,912 shares were voted in approval of the contract and only 13,000 shares opposed it.
 A denial was made in the answer that it was ever the intention of the defendant corporation or it's officials to make the new bonds convertible into common stock at any price, and the as sertion is made that the contract was in strict compliance with the laws of New Jersey of 1895.

HATS AT THE CORONATION.
Nc Government Supervision of Femi-
 nine Headgear.

London, June 19.-In the house of Commons today, Mir. w. R. Cremer, member of parliament for the Hagger- stone division of Shoreditch. sought the help Of the Right Hon. Akers Douglas, first commissioner of works. with a view to procuring q limita tion in the size of hats to be worn by women occu- pying stands in Old and New palace yards. on the occasion of the passing of the coronation procession.
 The stands in question, which are adjacent to the parliament buildings, are allotted to the use of members of parliament and their friends, and MT. Crcmer's plea was that members should have an unintercepted view af the procession. He expressed the hope that ladies millinery would be sub jected to rational conditions and made small enough to allow others than the WeaierS to see what was going on
 Mir. Akers Douglas replied that he was unable to prescribe any such con- ditions as were desired by Mir. Cremer.
