TRUST TO FIGHT
THE GOVERNMENT
]. P. Morgan Prepared to Defend His
Title asFinancial King. Steel Trust
on the Defensive.

New York, Sept. 27.-Atter coming
to the rescue Of his pet railway shares
and the entire stock list in general OH
last Friday, as exclusively stated by
the United Press, ]. 2. Morgan went
to bis Office before the market opened
today, prepared to defend his title as
financial king, and incidentally, pile
up a few additional dollars for Morgan
and Company. Morgan is determined
that there shall be no financial panic
precipitated as result of the agitation
against the great industrial combina-
tions. It is because of this fact that he
personally signed the Steel Trusts
declaration OF war and defiance OF the
government. By the power of his
name, he informed his associates, he
expected to reassure investors gen.
orally, and that he was correct III bis
views, vas shown by the fact that the
London market, open hours before
ours, was bullish in the extreme.
Just how strong the personality OF
King. Morgan really is was shown
when the market opened. Excited
groups OF brokers fought for positions
near the steel pole, and at the bell
wild buying began. Steel common
sold at the opening at range from
59I to 62, transactions at q variance
OF three points being made in different
parts OF the crowd. The initial sales
totalled $4,000 shares, and within
fifteen minutes, there was gain OF
5I points shown over yesterdays
close. Steel preferred also gained
more than five points; Lehigh Valley
rose points; Union Pacific 5; Amer
lean Smelling 3. and the entire list
showed gains ranging from : to I
points. The jump caused profit tax.
ing at the end OF fifteen minutes and
there we're recessions although the
general tone OF the market was very
strong.
The Steel Trust intends to fight the
government. 1t is understood that at
Yesterdays meeting OF the dlrsctors,
Morgan severely criticised certain dl-
rectors for having permitted the infer
ence to get abroad that the trust was
willing voluntarily to dissolve. Morgan,
it 10 understood, called attention to the
fact that the highest priced lawyers in
the world had passed on the organlza-
ton snd methods OF the trust, and that
it was in far better position to resist a
dissolution suit than any other Of the
big industrial combinations.
Morgan is understood to have sug-
gested the adyisability OF Judge Gary
demanding that the attorney general,
il he contemplates dissolution suit,
file it as soon as possible. By taking
the attitude that the trust methods are
absolutely legal and within the law, be
is reported to have told his associates
the financial situation would be inn
mediately relieved and it was at his
suggestion that last nights official
statement was made emphatic along
these lines.

of France and Germany. The state
ment follows.
BY Guglielmo Ferrero.
(By copyright. 1911. by the United
Press.)
A people is at liberty to choose or
not to choose when it wants colonies.
If it chooses to want them, and seeks
to found them, there can be proposed
no other means save to occupy terri
tory that is still poor, that is still
semi-empty, or that for long time
has been semi-barbarous, for the pur-
pose of attempting TO augment it's
value, investing in it wisely the cap
ital necessary to bring it about. Ter
ritory already rich, developed and
blossoming can only be found in
countries Of an older civilization. The
profit, therefore. Of a colonial under
taking can only be measured accord
ing to the probability of the territory
which is to be made the object OF
the undertaking. easily. and rapidly
increasing and growing in value.
But this is a problem that in the
majority OF instances human wisdom
has been impotent to solve. There
are now things that history can
demonstrate to man; but in the fail
ure of predictions for states and ter
ritories it can. All surprises are
possible, as are also all delusions, in
the indefinite changing of human vic
issitudes, the aspirations, the ideals
and the needs Of humanity.
Two centuries ago, for example
In the new countries, the hot terri
tories had a greater value than thosc
/ in a more temperate one. But cen
tury later, when there came all the
grand industries and all the mechaai
cal inventions OF modern civilization
the value of the former had declined
while the value of the latter had in
creased.
| A century ago, the immense plain!
in which Argentine sows its cereals
and reaps such great masses of rich
es, were only a desert and withou
value. But the overflow OF European
population, the growing demand TO
cereals, the progress OF navigation
and the railroad has converted in 81
years the desert into an Eldorado.
| ALI of this merely goes to show tina
| in colonial policy, as in all othe
things human, much depends upol
good fortune, while the element o
time is also one OF the most i'm

carry out a colonial policy is to take
that which it can without excessive
cost and danger and then to wait.
1t is not possible to make colon
ial empire bear fruit like 4 vast plain
already fully established; but it is
necessary that it be allowed to fruc-
tify according to the circumstances,
following the current OF the times
and keeping always well in mind that
human fortunes are perennially NOV
ing and changing; that in the world
nothing is stable and eternal, not
even the value of territory; not even
the power of the state; not even the
greatness of the people.

You are always ready to use Fels-Naptha
soap. That is great advantage.
Say youwant to wash few white things
on a holiday. You don tbuild hot fire and
make the house like an oven to heat water.
With Fels-Naptha you just get bowl of
cold water and wash the things.
It's SO simple, SO easy. No boiling Of
clothes; no steam, no nauseous odor.
Same way if you want to remove an
accidental grease spotfrom the floor wash
a awindow marked by sticky fingers. When
there's cold water near, Fels-Naptha is
always ready.
You'll appreciate this readiness on wash
day. No washboilers and stirring paddles
to bother with, no hot fire to keep up, no
danger of sca]ding your hands.
Likewise in washing dishes. Fels-Naptha
will cut the grease in cold or luke
warm water, no matter how long they have
stood before washing. And there's no heat
to crack delicate china or glassware.
Follow directions on the red and green
wrapper.

CONTROL OF PARK
Questions Validity of Title.

Doubt as to the validity of the title
of a portion of land, has resulted, II
was learned today. in the refusal OF
the Chief Of Engineers of tine United
States Army to accept control over
Montrose Park in Georgetown. The
land in question is claimed by the Oak
Hill Cemetery Company.
Montrose Park was acquired by pur-
chase under an appropriation Of 10,0Ot

law providing 1t shall become a part
of the District park system, under con-
troll of the Chief of Engineers, u. q. A..

was directed to a fence cutting Off a
strip on the eastern side of the park,
which the Commissioners claim en-
croaches on the park area, but which
the cemetery company asserts Is on
sidered as the true division between
the cemetery and Montrose properties.
According to H. 3. Mathews. president
of the Cemetery company, to set back
the fence would result ir, an encroach-

The company has no right to take this
action. 1t is declared, and even though

REPORT ON WOOL
BY TARIFF BOARD
READY FOR TAT 7
Findings of Investigators to
Be Sent to President
Today.

President Taft will this afternoon re-
ceive the report Of the tariff board on
wool. This will furnish the basis for
the Presidents tariff message to Con-
gress. =
For more than a year the tariff board
has been at work upon the wool sched-
ule. 1t has engaged scores of experts
in wool growing and in wool manufac-
ture to Investigate the cost of produc-
ton Of this commodity at home and
abroad.
The board has made no recommenda-
tions. 1t has purposely and consistently
refrained from even making any deduc-
tions as to the state Of the wool trade,
or as to the amount of protection which
1t must have in this country.
All the recommendations are left to
the President. After he has gone over
the figures Of the board he will prepare
his special message to Congress.
Just when this message will go to
Congress Is not at this time indicated at
the White House. The President will
yequirc some time to go over the figures
and reach his own conclusions. The
Cabinet will meet tomorrow and the re-
port will go to it for review.
The presentation OF the tariff message
will be the signal for the beginning of
the tariff fight in Congress.
The report Of the Tariff Board On cot
ton will come within few weeks. per-
