WOULD SAFEGUARD TRUSTS
6. G. Hay Of Minneapolis Presents
Views to Senate Committee.

Washington, Nov. 23.-Essential fac
tors in any new trust legislation to
be passed by congress were suggested
to the senate committee on interstate
commerce by Eugene @. Hay, a Min
neapolis attorney, now one of the gen
eral appraisers at the port of New
York. His suggestions were:
THAT corporations be prohibited
from holding the stock, or owning or
leasing the property to other corpora
tons in similar or related lines of in
dustry; that the directors of a cor
poration be prohibited from serving
as directors of competing corpora
tions; that the capital of corporations
be paid in full before they are per-
mitted to operate in interstate COM
merce; that no trade agreements be
permitted that will interfere with free
and open competition; and that direc-
tors of corporation must be resi-
dents of the state In which ii is or
ganized.

FOR RAID ON PARLIAMENT
Two Hundred English Suffragets in
Police Court

London, Nov 23.-Disheyeled from
their combat with the police and
frowsy from the Inconvenience of a
night in Jail, 900 suffragets were on
hand at Bow street police court TO an
swer for participation In the raid on
the house of parliament.
Miss Mary Oldham, charged with
obstrncting traffic. assaulting the po-
lice and malicious destruction of prop
erty. was the first woman arraigned.
Undaunted by all she had been
through she boldly defied the court to
do its worst. saying she would Will
ingly undergo martyrdom for the
cause i'm which she is enlisted. She
was sentenced to fourteen days inn
prisonment. with the option of S17.50
fine. and promptly elected to go to
Jail. The trials will probably cover
several days.
A somewhat riotous crowd surround
ed the court when the vanloads of
prisoners arrived and an army of po-
lice had hard work to keep order.

SCORE OF PEOPLE
NEAR STARVATION
Marooned on Peninsula on North
Shore Of Superior.

Duluth, Nov. 23.-While searching
on the north shore of Lake Superior
for the lost lode of the Calumet and
Hecla mine, twenty-four prospectors
and woman cook were marooned on
a narrow peninsula, fifty miles from
civilization. and for many days saw
starvation slowly approaching. When
tug finally reached them, carrying
provisions, not a crumb of food was
left in the camp, and for days they
had been subsisting merely on oat-
meal.
The story is told by w. r. Rathbun
of Lester Park, who returned to the
city from Port Arthur. Mr.. Rathbun
was on the tug that took provisions to
the starving men.
"The camp Is maintained by a Du-
luth company that has been prospect
ing along the north shore for con-
tinuation Of the lode from the Michi-
gan copper country. We had this
camp, with twenty-four men and wo-
man cook. established on Black Bay
peninsula, where our holdings are.
This peninsula is about fifty-five miles
from Port Arthur and it is cut of
from the mainland by an absolute
wilderness. The snow up there is
three feet deep or more and 1t is al
most impossible for human being to
make his way through 1t. The men in
camp had no way of getting away by
boat and they were therefore practical
l ly marooned on this peninsula.
| Supplies had been sent out from
Port Arthur in plenty of time, but
Through mistake they had been SEM
to Silver Isle, and consequently the
large camp at Black Bay was left
without food"

Noticing lie was "a Kindly, Brotner-
ly Sort of Fellow" the Witness Says
He Gave in and in a Short Space of
Time His Ore Lands "SimpIy
Vanished"
Washington, Nov 23.-John ID.
Rockefeller personally captured"
Leonidas Merritt of Duluth and
through him the wonderfully valuable
ore properties of the Mesabi range, ac-
cording to the latter's testimony be-
fore the Stanley steel corporation in
vestigating committee.
Mr.. Merritt told the committee when
he went to New York in the panic
days of 1898, Rev. f. N. Gates, man.
ager of Mr. Rockefeller's charities,
was his constant companion and kept
urging him to go into a consolidation
proposed by Mr. Rockefeller, but Mer-
ritt refused to consent
Then" said Merritt, Gates took
me to John ID. Rockefeller ! felt hon
ored on being called before such a
magnate MIR, Rockefeller shook hands
with me very genially. | noticed he
was a kindly, brotherly sort of fel-
low. He talked about the weather
and asked after my family He told
me we were all right, for he had
L. haf q
good work in Minnesota.
HE said If we would agree to the
consolidation he proposed he would
take care of us. He told me he would
be proud to be my partner and hacker,
he said he never speculated and so
wouldn't take any stock in the consol-
idation. He would just keep the bonds.
Merritt Finally surrenders.
"He captured me-" the witness con-
cluded.
Il told him | would agree, and then
he turned me over to Rev. Mr.. Gates
again"
The witness manifested even more
bitterness toward Rev. Dr. Gates than
his brother Alfred, who testified pre-.
vlously.
Referring to the consolidation agree.
ment, into which he was persuaded by
Rockefeller, Mr.. Merritt said that
when the time came for Rockefeller to
take up the bonds under the agree.
ment he didn't do so.
Leonidas Merritt told with great de-
tail the story of how he and his broth
er Alfred discovered the valuable ore
beds of the Mesabi range, put every
cent they could scrape together into
| these ore lands, built a railroad to
their property, and were in fair way
to becoming enormously wealthy when
they met up with Mr.. Rockefeller and
| finally retired from the struggle with
out any equity at ALL
| II couldn't conceive" cried Merritt
dramatically, at this point, how in
hell | could have gone to New York
with all those millions and lost then
all In few short months"
He added with a grim smile that he
guessed he knew more about wood
craft than he did about high finance
