 With the Deal Will Be Summoned
 Before the Stanley Committee.

The, committee is also considering g the advisability of holding sessions in New York, where there are many wit nesses and much material of the Steel corporation to which MT.

Gary declared conducted the negotiations on behalf of Grant B. Schley for the sale of the Tennessee company will be asked te appear in the near future.

WHITE STARTS COURT REFORM

Washington, June S.-The first initial step in the big reform inaugurated by Chief Justice White of the supreme court of the United States since his elevation to that office became public today when announcement was made that the chief justice haG appointed committee to change and revise the rules of practice in the equity courts in the United States
 The committee is composed of Justices Lurton and Van Devanter and Chief Jus tice White, ex-officio. It will report to the full court, probably in the fall, such changes and revisions in the present rules. For years the rules have been pronounced in many quarters as antiquat- ed and often working injustice and hard ship. The most general outcry against them has been that they encourage delay in litigation and nigh costs.
 Not only have clients complained of the delays and costs, but lawyers themselves fret at the insurmountable delays. An other objection has been that the rules were unnecessarily complicated.
 President Taft is known to be interest ed in the reform. It is regarded as strik- ing at the most obJectiona~l le set of rules in force by direction of the supreme court. The present rules were promulgated in 1S4o and except for few changes to in- dividual rules have remained unamended to the present day.
 It is understood that the committee de- sires suggestions from members of tho bar and bar associations as to what changes should be made.

Washington, June 3-Because of what are said to be the marked discrepancies in the narratives of the absorption of the Tennessee Coal and Iron company by the United States Steel corporation in the panicky days of 1907 as given by John W. Gates and Ebert H. Gary, the Stanley "steel trust' Investigating committee of the House has determined further light on that deal must be ob- tained and that every person who had anything to do with 1t must be ex- amined.
 The committee is again considering the necessity of summoning former President Roosevelt and former Sec retary of State Elihu Root for verifi- caticn of the conferences with MT. Gary and Mir. Prick on the Tennessee trans action.
 Chairman Stanley said today that the steel inquiry would be pushed forward as rapidly as possible, though no fur ther hearings would be held until next Wednesday when MT. Gary will con tinue his recital of organizations and methods of operations. John Lambert of the Republic Iron and Steel com pany also will be witness on that day.

LOR|MER ASKS ID TALK FOR HIMSELF Outlets All RumOrs That He Might Offer His
 Resignation

Washington, June 3.-Senator William Iorimer. whose election to the Senate is to be reinvestigated, today requested that he be permitted to appear before the new Investigating committee to testify in his own behalf. The request was telegraphed to the Senate committee on privileges and elections by MT. Lorimer, who is in Chl- cago. The committee. 1t was said, would be glad to hear him.
 MT. Lorimer's telegram was as follows
 "At the former investigation nothing was charged against me personally Therefore there was nothing for me 10 deny as a witness. It is my earnest desire to be permitted to testify before your committee so I can refute any charges that can be made or any suspicious that any one may have as to the validity of my election"
 The telegram had the effect of quieting persistent rumors that the Illinois sena- or would resign.
 Senator Dillingham;, chairman of the committee, said that undoubtedly MT. Lorimer would be given the fullest op- portunity to testify.
 The telegram reached the committee headquarters lmneuialeiy dIeer the au- journment of a meeting at which the Lorimer inquiry had been under consider alton. No action was taken today, but an- other meeting was ordered for Monday, when the question will be taken up again.
 The entire discussion today centered about a motion by Senator Kenyon that the committee proceed as whole with the work. There were reminders of the tact agreement for a special committee to do the work, and indications pointed to the failure of the Kenyon motion.
 The members of the committee generally express themselves as desirous of hav- ing the investigation conducted in Wash ineton to as great extent as possible.

GARY TESTIMONY
 PLEASES CARNEG|E
Court of Commerce to Set tie All Prices Is
 Ideal

London, June 3.-tSpecial cable. J. Andrew Carnegie started for Skibo by motor today. He delayed his departure to read the London morning papers con- taining the reports of Judge Gary's tes- timony in the steel trust inquiry. Then he sat in the Coburg hotel while the motor car wainted outside and wrote the following:
 Judge Gary's statement, IS reported this morning, embraces and settles the whole matter. When I declared some years ago that combinations meant ul- innate control by the government of all manufactures, railways. etc, I was thought wildly radical, but there is no recourse.
 "our court of commerce will have ac- cess to all the books and acts of cor porations and will fix prices accord ing to the profits revealed" Here Mr. Carnegie stopped writing, looked up and remarked: The 25 and 50 per cent profits will be no more. People will have to be content with and 10 per cent. Multi -millionaries will then be very scarce" he added with chuckle. Then he resumed writing as follows: 'It will deal literally with capital. but also justly with the consumers. At last we shall have peace and content ment in the wide range of production and this new plan will be far more satisfactory to both parties than any the world has yet known.
 Judge Gary knows that the meetings held of steel manufacturers had no aim other than to maintain prices and that the. people would never tolerate such monopoly. He proves his greatness by boldly meeting the issues. He bridges the chasm and deserves great credit for going to the root of the disease and adopting the only remedy
 q welcome him as the worthiest member of our committee. Let our country set the world an example. No monopoly, but prices fixed by a com mission of fair men.
 "The president of our railroads, nota- bly MT. McCrea of the Pennsylvania system, have led the way Industrial peace is at hand just as international peace and abolition of war between na- tions Is at hand"

Army Perplexed

Juarez, Mexico, June 3.-With Francisco l. Madero out of immediate reach, the position of the insurrecto army in north ern Mexico today became perplexing.
 Abraham Gonzales, named as provision al governor of Chihuahua, was about to proceed to the capital, when he received word that the minister of war would not allow him, with armed insurrectos, to en- ter the city by railroad. Unofficial advices were that the government was anxious to avoid bringing together federal and in- surrecto forces and Governor Gonzales probably will have to wait until the fed eral troops evacuate Chihuahua city.
 About 5000 federal troops under General Villar and Rabago are now concentrated at the capital. Outside the city 5000 in- surrectos are encamped and are soon to be reinforced by 15OO or more marching from Casas Grandes under General Orozco.
 A telegram from Chihuahua today said the patience of the insurrectos to enter the city was giving away. Fears were entertained that if the insurrectos en- tered the city now they might precpitate a clash out of revenge for acts attributed to the federals in battles near Aldama and Pedernales. sfgs Governor Gonzales says he will make the trip to Chihuahua Monday, but 1t Ia declared 1t will nor be possible to start
 the federal troops southward out of the city until next Wednesday. Every indication Is given that the in- surrecto leaders are anxious to disarm
 large portion of their army. for, although
 generally the soldiers have been orderly. many depredations continue. It Is neces- sary to feed the insurrectos and civilianp are still being compelled to give up sup plies in exchange for receipt"

INVOLVE M'NAMARA
 IN A CONFESSION Delaney Admits He Was
 Used as a Spy DESCRIBES HIS WORK
Says McNamara Employed Him to Make Drawing of Non Union Construction and Mark Place
 to Dynamite Structure


 Muskogee, Okla. June 3-John Delaney. a structural iron worker, 1t is said today, confessed that he had been employed by John J. McNamara, secretary and treas urer of the International Association of Bridge and Iron Workers of America, to travel throughout the country, carefully inspecting structures being erected by non-union labor, securing carefully made drawings of such structures and mark ing the spot with a cross where dynamite could be most easily placed and would be most effective.
 The confession was made to Harry Egan, a representative of the Muskogee Phoenix, in the presence of witnesses.
 Delaney still has a few of the drawings bearing the cross marks in. his posses sion, together with several letters of in- structions addressed to him and pur- porting to be signed by McNamara.
 representative of William J. Burns was here today and immediately left for the east.
 Delaney, in his confession, said he was introduced to McNamara at Indianapo- lis by c. E. Skidmore of Pittsburg. De- laney's confession in part follows:
 The first building I located for Mc- Namara was in Cincinnati, an office build- ing on Vine street, which was being erect ed by non-union men. l sent McNamara a diagram of this building, showing him the point where dynamite could be placed for the destruction of this building. This building was blown up by members of the Structural Iron Workers union in January of the year 1907. The next build ing I located was the viaduct in Chicago. That was blown up in February of the year 1907. I went from there to St. Louis and located a building on St. Charles street, which was blown up some time later by the Structural Iron Workers union. l went from there to Denver.
 Sent to Salt Lake City
 "While at Denver I received a letter from McNamara to go to Salt Lake City and I went, arriving there the 18th day of November, 1909. got two letters from McNamara instructing me to find the location of the Utah hotel. This build ing was blown up December 29 at a. m.
 T was arrested and tried in connection with this case and given six months in the county jail and fine of s35o. [ paid them $65 and the balance was remittedE < served the sentence. After leaving the jail I went to Houston, Tex, and there wrote McNamara demanding my fee for the part that had taken in these affairs. He wrote back to me refusing to give me any aid whatever and also advised the local secretary to take up my union card. My union card was No. 39, ,7S3 Since then have had nothing whatever to do with the union or McNamara, and give this statement cheerfully, of my own accord, that justice may be done to the offend ing parties"
 Delaney came to Muskogee two months ago. He began work as cab driver He worked at that just seven days when he accepted employment a "dynamiter' or nitro-glycerine shooter in the oil fields here. He is still working there.
