Washington, June 14.-The United States Steel corporation intends to suggest to the Stanley steel trust Investigating con- mittee the calling of witnesses whom the committee may overlook, and who may throw light upon matters in ques- tion in the inquiry and also. to suggest what questions be asked of certain -wit- pesses, if the committee fails to bring out facts possessed by such witnesses

Linda bury. ito suggest questions overlooked that we think pertinent, and witnesses whom we think, in all fairness, should be called."'
 The committee will exercise it's discre- tion as to whom it shall summon,' said Chairman Stanley
 ..Of course. I assume" MT. Lindabury replied, ssthat the committee would not refuse to summon witnesses we sus-

 ..That will be determined when the s',g- gestions are made, replied MT. stanley.
 The steel corporation. counsel and the chairman brushed again over the intro duotion of some railroad rate figures re Iating to the steel trust railroads in the Lake Superior ore region. The, chairman had secured rates portion on ore hauled by the Duluth and Iron Range and the Duluth. Mesaba and Northern, steel trust roads, from the interstate commerce com mission. and had employed an engineer to compute from these figures the rate per ton per mile The purpose was to show that the rates enlarged for hauling ore over the steel trust roads were ex- orbitant The charges. he said. were paid from one steel trust pocket to the other but resulted in unjust cost to in dependent ownars and thus increased ull- fairly the cost of production.
 Mr. Lindabury objected to the intro duction of the figures computed without the identity of their author.

 "AA engineer and expert accountant whom employed to make the mathe- nautical calculations, said MT. Stanley.

Underwood Confers With Taft and States He Believes Root Amend- ment Will Not Be Adopted
 By the Senate

Washington, June 14--The first day of the consideration of the Canadian reef procity bill by the Senate was character ized by several events. In addition to listening to speeches by Senators Curtis of Kansas and McCumber of North Da- kota, in opposition to the measure, the Senate made the bill the unfinished busi- ness on the calendar and without opposl- ton. changed the regular daily hour of meeting from o'clock to 12 o'clock noon which is expected materially to assist in disposing of the speeches.
 Tomorrow Senator Nelson of Minneso- ta will speak in opposition to the bill.
 Senator Penrose. in charge of the bill. tonight expressed satisfaction at the out look. saying he believed there would be general cooperation in bringing the dis cussion to close as speedily as possible.
 Senator Bristow today introduced an amendment reducing the sugar duty. His amendment would strike out the Dutch Standard provision of the present law and remove the differential between raw and refined sugar, so the duty would be 90 cents per hundred on sugar testing 75 degrees and s1a cents for each additional degree.
 Senator Gore obtained leave for the printing of a speech made in the Cana dian. parliament by J. A. Sexsmith, a member, in opposition to the reciprocity agreement He said MT. Sexsmith was a farmer and declared he.painted an espe- cially dark picture for Canada as the re- suit of the ratification of the treaty. For himself MT. Gore said he occupied mid dle ground, believing that ruin would come to neither.
 After conference with President Taft at the White House today, Majority Leader Underwood of the House declared he thought the Root amendment to the Canadian reciprocity bill would not bs adopted by the Senate.

 to be from the southern border land. He
 was appointed to an office of some sort in one of the departments here during
 brief shifting of the administration. When the administration fell this man lost out of course, but he did not have the courage or the good sense to go back to his home. He has been in Washington ever since just waiting for something to turn up
 '.Of course the something, will not turn up for him. The longer he hangs about the more frail becomes the structure of his hope or possibility and the more cer- tain he is never to go back home to try to tell his friends how it happened It is a sad crowd but they are here by the scores, yes by the hundreds.

An Alabama Man

An Alabama politician who went through the recent prohibition amendment campaign like greased meteor and died at the goal came to Washington. He knew he had ability, political power ana political following.
 He went after something big. He failed. He tried something else. He failed to land. He could not go back to Alabama. He had told too many of his friends that

CHICKS BUSY By night
SLEEP IN DAY time
Remarkable Feat Of Americas
Poultry

The unusually hot weather recently
in Americas al elsewhere, has serv-
ed to develop abnormally the instinct
OF animals and birds which, remark
able TO relate, have shifted their work
hours from day to darkness, or rather
10 moonlight. This fact was discov-
cred last night when three hundred
fine bred chickens owned by VIII g.
Turpin refused TO go to roost, but in
stead entered the rye patches near
the stables where they are confined
and began scratching. The fact was
then recalled that the intelligent lit
tie chicks had remained upon the
roost all during the day, seemingly
asleep with their heads tucked be
meath their wings. At shutdown, how
ever, they flew out for business, and
beneath the moonbeams and under the
glare of the electric light last night
they industriously chased the early
worm" and bughouse inmates out for
a night of it. Mr. Turpin is much
impressed with the unusual sagacity
exhibited by his rare chicks in thus
lodging the hot sunshine and feeding
/ beneath the moonbeams instead.
