Statements Of Assets Made in Defend
ing the Company Against Suits
OF Stockholders

Newark, n. J., July 16.-The answer
of the United States Steel Corporation
to the suit brought by J. Aspinwall
Hodge, William H. Curtis and Ber-
nard Smith, who asked for an injunc-
ton to prevent the company from car
rying out the 5000, 900 bond con-
version plan, was filed yesterday be-
fore Vice Chancellor Emery. When the
case came up before the vice chancel-
lor it was put over until July %. The
answer is sworn to by Charles M.
Schwab, as president.
For the first time since the organiza-
ton Of the steel corporation detailed
statement of the assets of the proper
ties of the subsidiary companies is fur
nished. These assets, it is stated, in
clude 400 producing mills Of the value
of $500. O00,0 900; rs blast furnaces OF the
value Of s48, 100000; iron and bessemer
ore properties of the value Of $70O,0OO,-
600; coal and coke properties of the
value of S1OO,OO0,000; natural gas fields
OF the value of $2O,000,000; cash in
bank to the amount of sec, 5000, 900, and
over sSO,OO0,000 of materials in pro-
cess of manufacture. The total value
of the company's property, including
cash and cash assets is placed at ST.
4OO,OOO,OOO by Mr.. Schwab in an afida-
Wit which is part Of the corporations
reply.
The company's earnings are stated to
be at the rate of more than s140,OOO,OOO
a year. A saving Of $30,O0O,00O a year
is credited to the ore properties, and
it is estimated that the ownership OF
transportation facilities saves the
company S1O,OOO,OO0 annually. The
earnings of the coal and coke proper
ties are stated to be more than $1,000
600 a month. These statements as to
values and earnings were presented tc
disprove the charge by the plaintiffs
that Mr.. Schwab, the president, anc
Mr.. Trimble the secretary, made a
false certificate when they certified
that in their Judgment the properties
were worth at least the par value oi
the preferred stock after deducting al
Indebtedness.
The conversion plan was agreed upor
at a stockholders meeting on May 10
The answer admits that the conversion
plan includes a payment of s1O,OO0,OOl

any of the acts contemplated vii
work fraud or injury to the complain
ants, but says that on the contrary
such acts when consummated will b.
greatly to the benefit Of the corporation
and of every stocl1holder. The answe
says that some of the directors ar
members of the syndicate formed b.
]. p. Morgan & Co. to float bonds, ant
that that fact was communicated Il

dispatch was rather thlfalutin.,
considering that only 40 mer
were engaged on our side and 30C

and indomitable grit Of American
soldiers have been shown in too
many wars, and against all sorts OF
enemies, to leave any room for
doubt as to their prowess before
even the savage and fanatical Moro

appears, from the puny Filipinos.
sBut the valor was not all on
our side. When the President
praises our brave men who were
faithful even unto death eight
having been killed and 40 wound

same quality to the 300 Moros, of
whom only 81 survived the fight
