Big Trusts Get Together.
A community of interests between the
international Harvester company and
the United States Steel corporation is
thought to have been arranged at
conference between President McCor-
mick of the harvester trust and E. Ell.
Eary of the steel trust at Gary's New
York Office. The plan involves no
merger of the two companies or ex-
change of securities or any new fnanc-
ing whatever. 1t is at most simply a
trade agreement whereby as far as is
compatible with its interests each COM
pany is to work to the advantage Of
the other and at the same time to it's
own advantage. The Harvester COM
pA&y will receive great assistance in
the extension of its export trade, while
the steel corporation will receive a
large new market for it's products in
this country. Heretofore the harvester
people have depended mainly on their
own iron plant for materials, but now
instead of increasing those plants they
will depend upon the great extensions
of the steel trust, while the ore beds
owned by the harvester trust will be
worked by some of the subsidiaries Of
the steel combine. 1t Is expected that
the steel corporation will sell from
$15, 100000 to $2O,OO0,OOO year to the
harvester concern.

crapsey as Lecturer.
In the Lyceum theater, Rochester,
N. Y, last week great audience as
sembled to inaugurate the lecturiRg
career of DR.. A. s. Crapsey, the Epis-
copalian clergyman who renounced the
ministry after being convicted of
heresy. His subject was, '"The Intel
lectual Crisis In the Churches" He
took the ground that 1t was impossible
for the modern man to take the creeds
of the church literally. He further
said that "to ask him to do this is to
ask him to commit intellectual suicide
and to put himself outside the great
intellectual world in the midst OF
which he lives. We have to come to
the parting of the ways, and every
man must take his choice" He be-
lieves that the modern conception Of
the universe is so established that an
assault by the church means the de-
struction of the church. He declares
there never was any garden of Eden
and that Adam is as NEUROLOGICAL as
Hercules.
