BIG RIVAL GOBBLED
BY STEEL COM BINE
MORGAN GAINS CONTROL OF TEN
NESSEE COAL & IRON co. FOR
CORPORATION.
GATES POOL FROZEN OUT.
Members Unable to Pay Huge Loans
Forced to Let Go at Big
Sacrifice.
GATES POOL FROZEN OUT
ANXIOUS ABOUT ROOSEVELT NOW.

NEW YORK, Nov. 81. ?. Morgan
has gathered in another great steel COM
pany and will turn it over to the United
States Steel corporation if President
Roosevelt doesn't put a veto on the
merger
AS a result Of the recent financial fur
ry Mr.. Morgan acquired control of the
Tennessee Coal and Iron company Mon
day. The deal was arranged at a con-
ference at Mr. Morgans home, and r.
H. Gary and H. c. Frick left for Wash
ington to sound the President and the
department of justice as to whether the
government would object to the absorb
ton of the southern concern by the larg-
er corporation.
Makes Loan, Gets Control.
In an examination of the affairs of GER
tain banking institutions it was found
solyency was menaced by loans secured
by Tennessee Coal and Iron stocks. Mr..
Morgan undertook to take up these
loans, which will give him control of the
big steel concern. The pool held con-
troll OF the Tennessee Coal and Iron com:
pany, but among its members were some
who were unable to take up their loans,
having financially weakened by the re
cent drop in the stock market.
There were twenty men who joined
their holdings in Tennessee Coal and
Iron and controlled 70 per cent. of the
100000 capital stock. For two years
or more everyone wondered where the
stock was lodged. 1t developed today
that there were several loans in trust
companies as we'll as in banks, which,
to use a Wall street term, were weak
kneed." Eight or ten rich men were at
their wits end to know what to do.
Morgan's action at the Sunday confer
ence has now put an end to the dilemma.
Gates in the Pool.
The members of the Tennessee Coal
and Iron pool comprised OaBeigh
Th0rne, president of the Trust Company
of America; Il. S. Black. president Of the
company; John w. Gates, one of the
principal men in the company; Edward
J. BerWind, Anthony n. Brady, Grant 3.
Schley. L. c. Hanna and e; W: Og]e-
bay of Cleveland, George A. Kessler,
Oliver II. Payne and James B. Duke,
the head of the American Tobacco com
pany.
1t was said that while the combined
wealth of these men represented $780,
100000, there We're some among them
who needed money and were being
prodded by their banks to strengthen
themselves.
Final Conference Held.
A conference which is believed to have
been called to determine the final details
Of the passing of control of the company
to the steel corporation, was held at the
residence of J. P. Morgan today. Those
present were Mr.. Morgan, George w:
Perkins. Secretary Trimble of tt steel
corporation, Grant B. Schley and Lewis
Cass Ledyard. The conference was con-
tinued this afternoon.
Levi p Morton called on Mr.. Morgan
during the forenoon. He declined to make
any statement regarding the purpose Of
his visit.

TRIAL MAY CAUSE
SICILIAN REVOLT
SIGNoR MAST, FORMER ITALIAN
MINISTER, FACES COURT FOR
ALLEGED, FRAUD.
WHOLE KINGDOM is EXCITED.
Serious Riots, Particularly in Island,
Feared if Senate Convicts the
Fallen Statesman.
PROSECUTED, SAYS DEFENDANT.

ROME, Nov. 5.-The trial of Signor
Nunzio Nasi, former minister of public
instructions, who is charged with the
Justification of documents and defraud-
ing the state treasury out of several
million lire, began today before the Sen
ate, constituted as high court of JUS
tice Michael LombardO, who was under
secretary of finance, was placed on trial
with Nasi, charged with implication in
the frauds.
Serious Disorders Feared.
The charges against Nasi and LON
bardo have caused considerable excite
ment throughout Italy, this being the
first case of the impeachment of an
Italian minister and also because the
two defendants, who were born in Sic
lily, maintain their innocence and claim
that they are being subjected to pOlltl-
zeal persecution, the result being that Sc
rious disorders on the part of Siclllans
are threatened if Nasi and Lombardo
are convicted.
Feeling Most Intense.
The feeling for and against the &C
cused has been very great from the time
their prosecution was determined upon
and the authorities allowed them to be
imprisoned in their own homes, instead
of sending them to Jail.
This, however, did not prevent riot
ing in Sicily in the prisoners favor, as
we'll as at Reggie di Calabria. At one
time the agitation in Sicily was so in
tense that 300 marines were landed In
order to maintain order, and artillery
was posted in the streets of Palermo.

One feature of the big Lustania which

that when the buoy strikes the water it
will float upright. To the crossbeams
are fastened long brass cylinders. These
cylinders are calcium carbide lights 50

Should a cry of "Man overheard" be
raised at night the officer on the bridge
