DUMAS HELD TO GRAND JURY
Mayor Of Cass Lake Bound Over on
Charges Of Arson and Robbery.
Yeggman State Witness.

Following preliminary examina-
ton at Bemidji DR.. D. F. Dumas,
mayor of Cass Lake, held on charges
of attempted arson and robbery in
connection with an alleged plot to
burn the postofice building at Pu-
posky, eighteen miles north of Be-
midi, on June II, was bound over
by Court Commissioner H. A. Simons
to await the action of the grand jury.
His bail bond was fixed at $4,000,
which was furnished by Fred Dumas
of Minneapolis, father Of the defend
ant
The grand jury does not meet until
the second Tuesday in September.
The states star witness was Martin
Behan, caught at Puposky while in the
act of robbing the store, as the result
of trap laid by Pinkerton detectives
Behan was wounded at the time and
his condition is still serious. He had
to be assisted to the witness stand.
He made the fiat statement that DR..
Dumas and R. E. Smyth, owner of the
Puposky building, had planned with
him and Mike Davis to rob and burn
the store, for which Behan and Davis
were to receive $500.
Assistant Attorney General Alexan-
der James, who conducted the case for
the state, said he never had seen a
witness tell more convincing story
than did Behan.
On the other hand Judge Spooner,
chief counsel for the defendant, put
Behan through a grilling cross-exami-
nation and caused him to make weak
assertions and answer so hesitatingly
some of his testimony that the de-
PENDANTS attorney improved the op-
portunity to insinuate the possibility
that Behan has been coached in his
confession
Only five witnesses were examined
Behan was the first and he was fol-
lowed by John Larson, owner of the
saloon where it is alleged the robbery
plans were made. c. E. Battles, a Be-
midi hardware man, told of selling
DR.. Dumas revolver. Carl Swedberg,
clerk In the Puposky store, identified
Behan as one of the men who came
to the store on the afternoon of the
robbery and William Munhall closed
the testimony by telling of a CONVEX
satfon over the telephone with DR..
Dumas In which Dumas asked as to
the whereabouts of Behan.

Findings Of Herbert Knox Smith
Are Made Public.
MAKES NO RECOMMENDATIONS
Declares Restriction Of Competition
Was Prime object in 0rganiza-
ton Of Steel Corporation.

, Washington, July 1.-The long ex-
pected and much discussed report
from the bureau of corporations on the
United States Steel corporation, re-
Gently submitted to President Taft,
was made public here.
Signed by Herbert Knox Smith, CON-
missioner of corporations, the report
makes no recommendations and is al
most wholly narrative in form.
Mr.. Smith declares that restriction
of competition was prime object OF
the organization of the steel corpora
tion, or so called trust"
Capitalized at $1,402, 900, 900 the cor
poration, he asserts, had tangible
property worth only $685., 1000, 900. BY
a constant reinvestment of earnings,
however, the report points out, much
of the water" in the company has
been eliminated.
The steel corporation now owns IS
per cent of the lake ores, having re-
Gently concentrated it's efforts to Sc
curing these properties. On this point
the report says:
Indeed, in so far as the steel cor
poration's position in entire iron and
steel industries is of monopolistic
character, it is chiefly through it's con.
troll of ore holdings and the transport
tation of ORE
In his letter of submittal to the
president the commissioner covers in
condensed style practically every fea-
ture of the report.

capitalization by the United States
Steel corporation far in excess of
property values. The bureaus valua-
ton of the tangible assets in 1901 is
S682.000.000. as against $l.400.000.OOO
OF issued securities.
An analysis of the cost of the sub.
sequent additions to the property of
the corporation, showing a total in
vestment in tangible property on Dec.
81, 1910, Of $1,1S7, 100000, as against
$1,468, 100000 outstanding securities.
An average rate of profit from 1901
to 1910 on the corporations actual in
vestment, as computed by the bureau,
of II per cent.
An almost continuous decrease in
the corporations proportion of the
output of principal steel products, but
a marked increase in its ownership or
control of iron ore deposits.
The bureau places the value of the
ore reserves of the corporation at
$100,000,000, while the corporation
itself places their value at $7OOOOO,-
900.
To prevent ore from falling into the
hands of Independent producers or to
prevent the Hill interests from found
ing a rival steel business the corpora
ton granted to the Great Northern
road the Hill leases which guarantee
the largest royalties ever known in
the ore business.

.Intimates Prosecutions May Re-
suit From Lorimer Case
EDWARD HINES ON THE STAND
Chicago Lumber Magnate Contradicts
Evidence Given by Witnesses
Who Preceded Him.

Washington, June 30.-Intimaticns
that prosecution for perjury may grow
but of the testimony of certain wit
nesses before the senate committee in
vestigating Senator Lorimer's election
and the declaration of Edward Hines
of Chicago that Clarence S. Funk, gen
eral manager of the International Har-
vester company, far from being asked
to contribute, had volunteered to help
defray Senator Lorimer's election ex-
penses startled the committee.
Senator Kenyon of Iowa stirred up
the talk of perjury prosecution after
Mr.. Hines had contradicted several
previous witnesses, but it remained
for Mr.. Hines to spring the real sur
prise of the day with his new version
Of the famous. conversation with the
International Harvester company off,
cial.
In telling his story of that much
discussed talk with Clarence S. Funk
at the Union League club at Chicago
Mr.. Hines said he was sitting in the
club with Fred Carney of Marinette,
Wis, Charles Hall of Sault Ste. Marie
and Isaac Baker of Chicago. Mr.. Funk
approached and shook hands. The
witness continued:
HE (Funk) said, 4 am very glad to
hear of Mr.. Lorimer's election to the
senate said was glad to hear him
say so. He said, I would like much
to have you arrange to introduce me
to Senator Lorimer. 1 have never met
him.
Would Like to Contribute.
"Then we walked over toward the
entrance of the club and he said: 4
understand the senator must have
been put to more or less expense for
this senatorship and he ought not to
stand it. The business interests ought
to take it off his hands. We would
like to contributed
II said: I do not know anything
about that I will see about it and
let you know"
All day Mr.. Hines was on the stand
and his examination was not conclud-
ed when the committee adjourned. His
first testimony that attracted deep in
terest was his detailed account Of how
he said President Taft, former Sena-
tor Aldrich and Senator Penrose had
him exert his influence to have Mr..
LOrimer elected to the senate.
Hines said he went tN Mr.
Funk's Office to middle his memory
respecting the Union league conversa-
ton following the publication on FEB

Hines further denied the testimony
of Writ H. Cook of Duluth that he

in talking with Springfield on the eve
of Lorimer's election, that he would
