STEEL COMBINE WAS
PLANNED BY SCHWAB

Washington, d. c.. Aug. Al.
Schwab, first president of the United
States steel corporation, was before
the Stanley investigating committee
today. He remarked that he was glad
to tell all he knew concerning the for
nation of the trust. Prior to its or
sanization, he said, cut-throat COM
petition existed
He said that in 1899, when he was
president of the Carnegie Steel com
pany, he sprung the idea of the steel
manufacturers having a central con-
trolling organization, at a dinner at
which j. p. Morgan and Z. H Har-
riman were among the eighty guests
Then he recommended that all steel
mills exchange their cost sheets.
which he said they are doing now
After the dinner, he said he accom-
panied Mr.. Morgan to his home and
outlined his plan and afterwards took
up the matter of price of the Carne-
gle plant with Morgan. He declared
that he did nothing further

John Vert well known local capi-
talist and who is regarded as a man
of very conservative views with refer
once to spending public money, is a
booster for a municipal electric plant
in connection with the proposed noun
tain water system
In substance Mr.. Vert declared to-
day to She East Oregonian that he
considers 1t poor business policy for
the city to spend a large amount of
money to bring water down from
Thorn Hollow when better and more
water ana an electrical supply in ad-
dition might be obtained by a heavier
expenditure and by going farther into
the mountains.
In the opinion of Mr.. Vert it may
be entirely feasible for the city to
take water from the Umatila river
at the mouth of the north fork above
Wenaha springs. BY bringing this
water by flume to a point near Glib
bon the fall could be utilized in the
development of electricity and after
the water has been so used as much
of the supply as Is needed could be
brought here for municipal purposes
The remainder of the water would be

GIRL SLAYER OF
WORTHLESS MATE
SECURES LIBERTY
Coroner's Jury Finds Prisoner
was Insane When She Shot
Husband.

San Francisco, Calf, Aug. 4.-Free,
but unstrung by the tragedy which
has come into her young life, Anna
Langley, the nineteen year old girl
her worthless husband while he was
in a saloon abusing her, is said by
attending physicians to be dangerous
ly near a complete collapse, which
may result fatally.
The coroner yesterday held an in
quest over the remains of the slain
delinquent and after taking the tes-
timony of the young woman, the jury
returned a verdict to the effect that
Langley had come to his death as
the result of a gunshot wound, in
flicted by his young wife, while she
was temporarily insane.
The young woman was released on
bail of only s1OO and if she is physi-
cally able, she will be given a pre-
liminary hearing before Judge Deasis
tomorrow and it is freely predicted
that she will be discharged.
At the coroner's inquest, and while
confined in Jail, the young woman re-
peated how she had worked as a
stenographer during the day, washed
clothes at night, and given her earn
ings to the worthless husband, in an
effort to win his respect and inspire
him to better life. She said that she
went to the saloon to urge him to go
home with her and when he began
abusing her. she suddenly realized
that her attempts to reform him had
been futile, and she deemed that there
was nothing else to do but kill him,
which she did.
The girl left her bed today, on her
own request and went to the under
takers parlors where she viewed the
remains of her dead husband.
Jim, oh my poor Jim she walled
when she saw the body. She was
accompanied by her father and moth
er. She was taken away almost COM
pletely collapsed.

The opposition is not to be taken
as a weakling and there are still

Berlin, Aug. 4.-That the flegotia-

tween Germany and France in an eff
fort to reach an agreement in the
Moroccan embroglio, instead of pro-
crossing satisfactorily are practically
at a standstill, is the announcement
made by the German newspapers here
today. The tones of each of the pa
pers is deciG edly pess,mistic and
there is. little hope held out for an
immediate settlement, while many
believe that peaceabie settlement is
impossible.
The National Gazette, the newspa-
per which is accredited with being
closer to diplomatic circles than any
other journal in the country. admits
that the negotiations have not made
any progress and asserts that there is
little likelihood of a satisfactory set

All are agreed in the belief that p
ministerial crisis is near, and it is not
unlikely that the situation will again
take on a grave aspect within a
short time.

resort, the two contending countrie!

that the prospects for the resumption

mate in Outburst.

Mexico City, Aug. 4.-The formal
announcement of the candidacy, for
president of Mexico, by General Rey-
es, which is expected to be given out
here today, will it is believed, assured
ly embroil Francisco Madero-late
victor over former President Diaz-
and Provisional President De la Bar
IA and several other prominent per-
sons in the republic who have their
eyes on the presidency, and any one
or all of whom may resort to rebel
liam to carry their claims.
In fact there are many expressions
of fear of another outbreak and re-
sumption of civil strife if the an
nouncement of Reyes candidacy
should be accepted as a serious con-
tention for the coveted office.
Emilio Gomez who was formally
nominated for the presidential can
didacy. by the anti-re-electionist par
ty, is strongly arrayed against Madero
and Reyes.
General Reyes has given out a
statement to the effect that if his can
didacy gives promise of precipitating
any semblance of trouble, he will re-
nounce it and Immediately depart
from this country for foreign parts.
This would leave only three con-
tenders-so far as is known at this
time. They are Madero, Gomez and
De la Barra and they would un-
doubtedly fight the matter out to the
bitter end, with Madero having the
better prospect of winning, unless one
or the other, or both, the other can
didates resort to the popular meth
cd of taking office at the head of an
armed force of insurrectoes.

JOHN VERT WANTS CITY TO INVESTIGATE
FEASIBILITY Of MUNICIPAL POWER PLANT

not interfere with the Byers' milling
Company's rights.
In order to have this subject in
vestigated Mr. Vert suggests that a
special committee be named by the
Commercial club and the city coun-
ell. He says that thorough in
quiry should be made SO as to ascer-
tain the feasibility of the scheme
from an engineering standpoint and
also inquiry should be made into the
probable earning power of a munich
pal power plant This would involve
learning the local income OF the pres
ent electric company.
In discussing the subject today Mr..
Vert intimated his belief that the
revenue that could be derived from
combined municipal water and
power plant would be sufficient Ia
meet the interest on the bonds And
also provide for sinking fsnd To

Democratic Progressive Coli
ton Will Pass Tariff Revi-
sion Despite Of Executive.
UNIQUE SITUATION
is BROUGHT ABOUT
Standpattcrs Working Hard to Muster
Strength in Senate and House OF
Representatives 10 Sustain Presi-
dents Death Slap at New Measures.

Washington, Aug. All official
and political Washington is today
more or less mildly excited over the
prospects of a unique entertainment
which is predicted for the near fu-
ture, when it is believed that the
Democratic house and the Republican
senate will pass the tariff revision
bills over the much expected veto of
President Taft who 1t is believed will
return the measures without his ap-
proval.
In case the measures are passed
over the presidential disapproval, 1t
will be the first time in many years
that such thing has occurred. And
just to add to the novelty of the sit
nation, it is pointed out that the two
measures over President Taft's We
the executive veto and that the lower
house is Democratic, while the upper
chamber is Republican.
1t is not believed that the cotton
revision bill, which passed the house
yesterday, will be successful in get
ting by the senate, as the southern
Democrats in this body are not in
clined to take the bill up at present.
1t is freely predicted, however, that
the same colition of Democrats and
Progressive Republicans. which pass
ed the wool revision and farmers
free list bills, will again hold to-
gether and will probably be able to
throw in enough strength to pass these
measures over President Tawt's ve-
to,which is. according to leaders, as
sured when the measures reach the
executive desk.
The stand patters are canvassing
the house, and also the senate, in an
effort to secure sufficient pledges
against the bill to assure their deaths.
Practical confirmation OF the re-
ports of the presidents intention to
veto the bills came this afternoon
when Congressman Dwight, the house
whip. after a conference with Presi-
dent Taft, sent a hurry call for all
