a banquet given them by Coach Thomas

MERGER OF COPPER INTERESTS

Are co He United In Fifty
MinIon-DoIlar Corr
poratiOn.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE representative
iron and steel manufacturer from all over
the country gathere at the Waldorf
Astoria tonight at a dinner given by E. II
Gary, chairman Of the United states steel
corporation. This is the second dinner OF
It's kind, the first having occurred a year
ago. The purpose is to bring the manu-
facturers together to discuss the interests
Of the trade and to bring about a friendly
cooperation of the different interests.
Mr.. Gary, the CHER speaker, said the
gathering was to consider a proper
method of distributing our thought and In
fluenee to aid In the effort to prevent
disaster to the business interests\ Of this
country"
That some and perhaps many Of the
leading thinkers and writers have mis-
understood our action is probable he con-
tinued. Some at least nave questioned
the propriety, If not tht legality OF our
efforts and apparently others have be-
lieved these efforts would be OF no SUBJ
stantial benefit, but we knew our motives
were good. We have never intended to
a~ntagonize the laws of the country or
rights and interests of any one. We have
occasionally read published criticisms Of
our movement on the ground thai there
was a combination or agreement, express
or implied, to maintain prices, to restrict
output or to divide territory. But the fault
lies in the unjustified assumption Of fact"
Mr.. Gary declared the steel manufac-
turers never intended or reEorted 20 any
evasion and that an effort would be made
to right whatever is wrong.
GAS to the results of our efforts to CO.
operate" he continued, there is no rea-
sonable doubt they have been of great
benefit. The prices have been uniform
and they nave fluotuated more or less
from time to time. Some manufacturers
have not been as considerable of the in
terests of others as they could have
been. Perhaps all of us have been in
fluenced by motives of selfishness. But
l do not hesitate to say our movement
has prevented wide and sudden fluctua-
tions and destructive competition"

KILLED BY TRAMPS.
Policeman's Brother Was Helping
Drive Them From Top of q Train.


MIDDLETOWN. N. Y. July 24.-The
summit. near this city, was the scene of
conflict with tramps Wednesday night
and early yesterday morning. which re-
| suited in the death of Charles Kane,
brother Of Lieut.. William Kane of the
Erie police. Ten tramps were landed in
Goshen Jail. where they will stay while
their movements are looked up.
Charles Kane was at the Summit in
company with his brother, the lieutenant,
when an Erie westbound freight arrived.
Charles Kane saw four men on the ton
of box car, and told his brother he
would drive them off the car so they might
be arrested When he reached the top
of the car in the darkness he was as
saulted by the men and thrown to the
ground. He was in an unconscious con-
dition when picked up, and died in Thrall
Hospital q few hours later.
When Charles was thrown from the car
shots were fired by the tramps, which 1t Is
believed were intended for Lieut. Kane
They did not hit him. The men made their
escape, and word was at once sent to
Port Jervis. Capt Gass of the Erie po-
lice there, accompanied by several of the
city oficers, was hurried to Ottsville on a
switch engine. 1t being learned that the
tramps had left the train at that point
Several of the tramps were discovered in
clump Of bushes. but they fired at the
oiuCcfS dIiu StoHcu tilcEn III the QdIknoSS,
finally escaping.
Shortly after this another gang of
tramps appeared in the vicinity of the
Summit tower. and Operators w. j. Ran
kin and John ]. Meyers were assaulted
by two Of the gang. The operators were
not seriously injured. The woods near
the Summit were searched all night, but
no one was discovered.
1t is not believed that any Of the men
now in custody was guilty of the murder
Kane leaves a widow and four small
children.

BARKENr1NE IN QUARANTINE.
Allenwilde Comes From Venezuela
With Cargo of Asphalt.

The American barkentine .Allenwilde
Capt. Grace, laden with asphalt from
Venezuela for one of the street-paving
companies of this city. has been placed
in quarantine in the river by DR.. Arthur
Snowden, the marine hospital surgeon at
Alexandria. She will remain at anchor
for week. or perhaps longer. before she
will be allowed to come up to this city
to discharge her cargo.
The vessel arrived at Alexandria early
yesterday morning in tow of the tug NJ
Mitchell Davis. AS she came from
South American country it was necessary
for the marine hospital authorities to look
her over before she is allowed to come
to this city.
1t is stated that the crew of the vessel
was found all well. and that no cases Of
sickness had occurred aboard her on the
trip from the Island of Trinidad to this
city. AS she came from a country in
tested with bubonic plague it was thought
best to quarantine her for observation for
a few days.
The master of the vessel was directed
to take his ship to a point below Jones
Point. where she lies.
1t is stated that the vessels that came
here recently from Trinidad with asphalt
were fumigated in Hampton roads before
coming to this city. The master of the
Allenwilde d'i not take this precaution.
The ship will be fumigated before she Is
allowed to come up to this city.

WANT THE PLATFORM.
Many Persons Apply at Republican
HEADQUARTERS for Copies.


At republican congressional committee
headquarters Francis Curtis. in charge.
states there is a surprising demand for
copies of the republican platform.
I'm fact he adds. cit exceeds anything
I have ever known. and. to my mind, indi-
Gates that the people are taking closer
and more intelligent personal interest In
politics than formerly
Mr. Curtis referred to the fact that the
democratic campaign book contains a re-
print of Mr.. Sherman's reply to Represen-
tatiye De Almond, on April 3. in which
he reminded the democrats that his side
was keenly alive to the fact that the re-
publicans were in control of the executive
and the legislative branch of the govern
ment and assumed full responsibility not
only for what the party had done, but for
what it had refrained from doing.
That speech said Mr.. Curtis. was
pronounced by Speaker Cannon to be one
of the most forceful and by long odds the
best that had been delivered in the last
Congress. We intend to see that 1t has
wide circulation, and naturally appreciate
the discriminating eye that selected 1t for
inclusion in the campaign literature OF the
other side"

MORE ABOUT WEDDING.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mclean Found Best
Friend in Mrs. Walsh.

A special dispatch to the Chicago Rec
Herald. from Denver, under date of
July %, gives further particulars of the
marriage of Miss Evelyn Walsh and Mr..
Edward B. Mclean on that date, of which
mention was made yesterday>in The Star:
Thomas F. Walsh, father of the bride,
is in Kansas City, and did not know of
the wedding until his new son-in-law tel
egraphed him after the ceremony. Mrs.
Walsh was not present, and it is said she
used her utmost persuasion to prevent
them from getting married.
Shortly after the ceremony the newly
married couple went to Colorado Springs
in a big touring car belonging to the
Walsh family. Before they left, however,
they drove for half an hour through the
downtown streets, stopping and chatting
with many friends, but saying nothing OF
the wedding to any one. They will stay a
week or so at the springs and then go east
and to Europe on wedding tour.
The decision to get married was made
only yesterday. Mrs. Walsh was told of
1t. and did not approve. She tried her best
to dissuade them, but in vain. She wished
her only daughter to have big and fash
ionable church wedding. But the young
couple insisted and refused to be put on.
Mrs. Walsh then telephoned the Hills.
old friends of the family. and asked Mr..
Hill to make the arrangements. He got
marriage license, which he was able,
through influence. to suppress from the
public records Late this afternoon he
drove out to Wolhurst the Walsh country
home. and brought Evelyn and Mclean
into the city.
Mrs Walsh would not accompany
them, although urged to do so by ali the
party She was at Wolhurst tonight. but
retired early. She declined absolutely to
discuss the wedding and would not even
see newspaper men, but through her pri-
vate secretary gave simply confirmation
of the report that her daughter was mar
ried q"
