sage fraught with greatest danger
She fought her way across the occon

and heavy seas. She was forced out
of her course and the binding snow
prevented an observation.
The Gorsemore was approaching
Cape Cod almost before her officers

putting her about. and more than
once she came within an ace of mis-
hap. but she was finally headed away
from the dangerous shore. although
she was a full hour covering a mile.
Many of the officers and men fear
ed that the vessel was doomed. and
they held their breaths as they watch
ed her struggle against the wind
with the tremendous seas breaking
over her and the ice forming in great
layers about the decks.
The Gorsemore was a full week
late in making port. She brought in
i.Sdd tons of glass. earthenware. rags
and general cargo. She will sail for
Baltimore to-day.

instead of carrying it away as expect

rushed with it up a telephone pole I'M
til intercepted by the wires about 20
feet in the air and there left it sus-
pended throughout the day that all
eyes might see how suddenly pork
had gone up. And now at the close of
the day since they find that it did not
pay, the only question of the owners
who feigned the part of would.be do

come down again. This We may safe
ly say will never be. until they them
selves quit the market and going up

fined IS in each Of five cases for vio-

also brought out the fact that the COM

CONGRESS To LAY BARE
STEEL TRUST SECRETS
Committee on Judiciary Adopts
a Resolution Calling for In
vestigation.
Secret Methods of Big Com
bine to be Delved Into by
National Law Makers.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 2.-An in
vestigation of the steel trust was de-
creed to-day by the House Committee
On the Judiciary. Representative Lit
ties resolution calling for an inquiry
was passed without discussion, and it
is mere formality to have it acted
upon in the House. It is privileged
matter and will most likely be brought
up in the early morning of tomorrow s
session.
The resolution is similar to the one
which directed the beef trust inquiry.
Secretary Metcalf Of the Department
Of investigators, will be the chief in
the inquiry. He must discover to what
extent the steel trust controls prices
and output Of iron and steel products
In interstate commerce; to what ex-
tent 1t controls the prices and output
of Independent companies, dependent
upon the trust for raw materials. and
to what extent the trust sells its prod
ucts cheaper to it's export trade than
it does to it's domestic customers.
Secretary Metcalf must also learn
what results these conditions have
brought about and unearth any con-
tract, combination or government
showing conspiracy in restraint of in
terstate or foreign commerce.
No time for the making of the inves-
tigation is named, nor is there desig-
mated any limit of time before Secre-
tary Metcaf is to make known his
findings. The Republicans of the COM
mittee would not stand for any restric-
tions as to time and compelled the
Democrats to agree to the allotment to
Secretary Metcalf Of any number OF
days, weeks, months or years, for that
matter, that he may, in his official ca
pacity deem necessary.
