ANOTHER GIANT STEEL COMBINE
 is PLANNED
Would Be a Rival of U. S. . Steel Corporation.
Men Interested Are Very
 Reticent.
But It Is Asserted Plans Are Already Well Matur- ed-John w. Gates, Back ed by Big Steel Men, Said to Be Carrying Out the Deal.

 Pittsburg March 1S.-Careful i'm suiry calculated to disclose details in connection with the plans for the for 1nation of another giant steel corpora ton the purpose of which is competi- ton with the United States Steel Cor poration. failed to-day of any results save to cause those interrogated to be- come extremely reticent and by this reticence infer that the project is fully shaped.
 J. Pierpont Morgan, who success fully originated the United States Steel Corporation was asked to underwrite . the new concern but he declined be- cause of the great amount Of work 1n- volved and because of his advanced age. John W. Gates has taken up the plan in his stead and is backed by some of the leading steel men of the country.
 The project had it's inception last fall when the financial interests of the Lackawanna Steel Company, the Penn syivania Steel Company and it's var ious holdings and the Cambria and Maryland Companies discussed com bine. Then Charles M. Schwab was asked to come in. About the same lime Jones & Laughlin was preached and came in.
 A conference was held and the pro ject was laid before J. P. Morgan, who took 1t under advisement, saying that he wished to bring it to the attention of his legal adviser before making final decision. In this course, it is said MT. Morgan considered the likely atti- tude of the government at Washing ton in treating great industrial corpo- rations. Mir Morgan consulted two of the ablest corporation lawyers in the country. One of them is said to have endorsed the combination and express ed the opinion that every move would come within the governments reStric- tions. The other was not so sure of this
 Taking his advice in consideration and realizing that the merger meant two years of hard work, MT. Morgan decided that at his advanced age he did not care to assume the task of organization, according to MT. Gates. It is argued that competition will be simplif1ed. The present financial re- ports of the companies interested show that the combined existing stock issu- ed is to be the value of S167 ,250, 900.

Mans Leg.
fBv Gable to The Tribune. J

Paris, Aug. 2S-Professor Doyen, we'll known
for his Investigations into the Origin of cancer

has been carried out between an animal and a

DR.. Doyen's patient was suffering from an ex-
tensve arterial aneursm of the Leg which was
cured by operation, but there remained an
Oedemic condition of the limb. indicating the in
suffciency OF the deep venous circulation. which
the superficial venous circulation could not COM
pensate for. Accordingly. DR.. Doyen decided 10
substitute a sleeps vein. twenty-five cent?
metres long. for the vein which had been Op-
Grated on
After the patient had been chlorOformed the
Sleeps vein was successfully put in position
and Immediately the deep venous circulation
was re-established and the Oedemic condition of
the leg rapidly disappeared The segment of the
sleeps vein before being grated was placed In
a sail isotonic solution.
DR.. Doyen. who has just left Paris to take part
in the international Med:csl Congress at Buda-
pest where he will give detailed description
Of this operation. says THAI IL is that must
be completed within forty-five minutes: other
wise the transplanted vein dies and is useless
