Helm WRITES AGAIN
ANSWER OF SECRETARY
OF STATE
SUGGESTS LINE OF ACTION
Says 1t Is Incredible That U. s. Steel
Corporation With Millions in
MinnesOtq Has No State
Representative.

In reply to the letter of Mr.. Moritz
Helm, published in 7 h G o yester-
day urging action to compel the United
States Steel Co;pC ration to comply with
state laws, Secretary of State Hanson
said yesterday that he has been for some
time investigating the problem, but has
found no way of reaching the company

torney general has advised him that at
present there is no feasible method. He

states which have similar laws. They
have all made the same effort and been
baf1ed.
The big trust has plenty of representa-
tives in Minnesota, but they are not en-
ploYes of the United States Steel COM
pany, or in a legal sense Its agents. They
represent smaller companies whose stock
is held by the trust. They really work
for the trust but technically they work
for other companies.
Mr.. Helm last night addressed a second
letter to Secretary Hanson in reply to
the Iatter's statement. The letter is as
follows:
Hon. P. E. Hansen, Secretary of State
of Minnesota, St. Paul, Minn.-Dear sir:
You are quoted in the second column, on
page II, of the st. Paul Dispatch, this
afternoon, in reference to the United
States Steel corporation, that you have
been and are unable to get hold of the
company for the reason that it has no
legal agent in this state, etc.
Permit me to suggest that if you will
send a copy of my letter to the county
attorney of st. Louis county it will be
his duty to- bring suit against the COM
pany, and if he understands his business,
as he doubtless does, he will have 40 diff
fculty to find the corporation for the
purpose of serving notice or process upon
the company as required by law; that is,
the SOmerviile act
1t is difficult to imagine that corpor-
alton like the one referred to will own,
control or manage property in this
state worth one hundred and fifty mil
lions and not have a legal agent here.
1t is currently reported that this trust
corporation has an agent in this city
with an annual salary equal to the sal
aries Of all our five judges of the SUI
preme court of the state of Minnesota.
The corporation in question has one
hundred and fifty millions in property in
st. Louis county, which Is three times
the assessed value Of all property in that
county. 1t is almost incredible that IN
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1902-04-03
der those circumstances the company has

der those circumstances the company has
no legal agent in this state.
If you will notify the county attorney
of ST. Louis county that the United States
Steel corporation is doing business in the
state of Minnesota, as far as you may be
informed, that it has one hundred and
fifty millions in property in his county,
that it has not complied with the Somer-
vile act, and Is, Therefore, indebted to
the state of Minnesota in the sum of
about SIS, 900, he will bring suit and have
no difficulty in procuring the appearance
of that company to defend such action,
Minnesota has a population of nearly
100000 and who is there among them
that will think it a debatable question
that the United States Steel corporation,
capitalized for $15O,O0O,O00 (and today's
press dispatches report it's first annual
earnings at $111,067,19 largely coming
from ST. Louis county, in the state of
Minnesota), has no agent in that state,
and that the state has no machinery of
law at its command by which this COM
pany can be compelled to pay the state
a lawful debt of SIS, 600?
Yours respectfully.

Board VIII Take Time.


After the discussion had continued for
some time, but before the new building
had been entirely completed, Mr. Sew.
mour awoke his fellow members with the
suggestion that perhaps when the pros
pectiVe purchaser had heard what price
the board would set upon the property
he might not wish to carry the neegotia-
tons furthr. Thus far at least he had
only asked that a price be set upon the
property and that the board could not
do without some consideration. No inn
mediate action was taken upon the mat
ter.
The members present at the meeting
We're President e. A. Young, Mrs. Metcalf
and Messrs. REM, Seymour and Butler
George Lennon, of the firm of Lennon
& Gibbons and E. j. Metzger and Mr..
Donneliy, of the Famous Millinery COM
pany, were in attendance at the meeting
to inquire what determination had been
arrived at by the board as to renewal Of
the leases held by Messrs. -4etzger and
Donnelly. The stores occupied by these
two gentlemen are next beyond that now
occupied by Mr.. Lemons firm and the
firm desires to secure them for future
enlargement of it's establishment
Director Seymour on behalf of the build
ing. comm tee OIL the beard apOIogized for
the fact that there was no report from
leases, explaining that both of the other
members, Directors Dean and Fogg, had
been out of the city for some time. Mr.
Metzger said that under the circum-
stances he would like as early an answer
as possible, for if he was to be driven out
he wou4u like as much time as he could
get. Mr.. Lennon said that he had no de-
sire to drive Mr.. Metzger or Mr. Dom
nelly out Of their present quarters al
10 n To 7,11
room and would like to present before
the board as soon as possible PROPOSE
ton to take the two stores or to build an
addition for himself on the vacant prom
erty north of the building. However, he
would be willing that the leases Of
Messrs. Donnelly and Metzger should be
renewed for another year, or in case he
should secure the leases at once would
be willing to allow them to continue in
the stores under leases from him. 1t
was agreed that Messrs. DonneIly. Metz
ger and Lennon should meet with Director
seymour and come to some agreement
which might afterward be ratified bv the
board.
1t was at this juncture that Director
Seymour made his announcement re-
ferred to above and it was generally con
ceded that it would be best for the board
to refrain from tying up any portion Of
the property beyond the limit Of the pres
ent lease Of Lennon & Gibbons. which
has still about three years to run. with
the option on the part Of the firm to re-
new for five years longer, which it is
accepted as matter of course will be
done.
By resolution the president and secre-
tary We're authorized to lease % George
II. Chase space 28x251h feet in the por-
ton Of the second floor of the building
w
be occupied by him as a photograph
studio. The rental is fixed at S25 Der
month and the tenant is to furnish light
and water ana make all necessary aItera-
lions while l--e board agrees to furnish
heat. The limit of the lease is five years.

SEYM OUR AT BOARD
MEETING
CHANCE TO SELL PROPERTY
Prospective Purchaser Wants Fig

Substantial BEGINNING for
Much-Needed New Building.

New life has been infused into the
hopes and plans of the library board for
new building by a communication verb
ally presented by Director Seymour at
the regular meeting of the board last
evening.
In the course of discussion of ques.
ton which involved the policy Of the
board as to time limit of leases on por-
lions Of the building, Mr.. Seymour stat
ed that he had received a number of
visits of late from a real estate agent or
broker who, on behalf of a client who's.
name had not been mentioned wished
to know if the library property as
whole was for sale, and who had been
active and persistent in his efforts to
enter into negotiations with the board
for the purchase of the property Mr..
seymour explained that these advances
came from the same man who had once
applied for a tWenty-year lease Of the
vacant portion of the property north of
the library building, intending to erect
large building upon it, and having been
disappointed in that plan by the boards
refusal, now desired to have the board
make terms for the sale of the entire
property. The agent had said that his
client would be willing to purchase sub
ject to present leases.
Mr.. Seymours statement inspired the
other members to renewed speculation ir
future possibilities and for time the
discussion ran along in a most hoDefUI
manner. Pierce Butler led off with the
rather conservative statement that he
believed it could safely be said that the
property was for sale. Other members
heartily agreed that it should be sold If
favorable price could be obtained and
that If so the board would have a nu-
cleus, in fact substantial beginning for
fund to build a new library. Then the
question of price was taken up and as
it was agreed that the property was the
best located in the city for the site of a
large retail store high figures, ranging
all the way from $3.50, 600 to $500, 900, were
