"A stir was created yesterday in

giant merger of steel, iron ore and
shipping interests was to be per.
tected to compete with the United
States Steel corporation, with prom.
1nent Duluth men aud others at the
head of it.
1t was said that former heads of
the steel corporation, including
Thomas F. Cole, would merge their
holdings and fight the older corpor.
alton, just as soon as the supreme
court renders it's decision in the
American Tobacco and Standard
Oil cases.
According to report G. A. Tonlin.
sons line of ore freighters will be
the lake transportation end of the
business. Mr.. Tomlinson was asked
about the proposed merger last
night but declined to talk. Mr.. Cole
is not in Duluth. Joseph B. Cotton,
when asked to make a statement as
to what knowledge he had of the
proposed enterprise, said he had
heard of it from outside sources but
thought there was no truth in the
rumor. .. ...'@..

Tomlinson of the Tomlinson steam
ship line, are associated the names
of W. E. Corey and Charles NJ.
Schwab, former presidents of the
steel corporation, and w. B. Dixon,
former vice-president.
The decisions in the American
Tobacco company and the Standard
Oil company cases are expected to-
indicate what the supreme court
thinks of the merging of large in
terests and, according to report, the
big consolidation is being held off
tor that reason. Both cases are
based on the Sherman antitrust
law. If the supreme court decides
that the tobacco and Standard CON-
pan1es are trusts and in violation
OF the Sherman act the reported
merger might still be attempted,
according to information which
comes from New York sources, but
on different lines from those on
which the tobacco and oil COM
panies we're formed.
Mr.. Schwab has been com petitor
OF the big steel corporation as big
owner in the Bethlehem Steel com
Pany, one of the large independent
companies, since he ceased to be
president of the steel corporation
in 1903. Mr.. Cole resigned as head
of the steel corporations iron ore
company more than year ago. Mr.
Corey ceased to be the head of the
steel corporation several months
ago. When Mr.. Dixon resigned as
vice president about two weeks age
steel men said he was angered be-
cause he was not elected to succeed
Mr.. Corey. All four men who are
mentioned are said to have very
good reasons for wanting to carry
on a commercial warfare agains

NEGOTIATIONS OPENED.
Negotiations were opened som.
time ago, according to report, with
owners of extensive iron ore proper
ties on the range by the men sale
to be behind the merger.
The properties OF Schwab, Corey
Dixon and Cole, while in themselve!
great in extent, are only the nucleus
of the giant concern that is report
ed to be in the making. Other indie
pendent steel, iron and iron ore op
orators are expected to join in tn.
consolidation which may be con
summated soon after the decisions
of the supreme court are made.
Such merger as has been said i:
coming into existence would presen

of corrupt practice in the election
OF Senator Lorimer, before the

Edward Hines, president of the Vir.

indicate that the president and the
interests had some things in COM

position he expected would be for three
prime reasons. all of which have been
furnished by President Taft, he added
Sir James expressed strong admira-
ton for President Taft, but declared
that Canada's true interests lay in
Strengthening the ties with the Mother
country. The three reasons which Sir
James says the President had furnish
ed for rejecting the agreement are:
That Canada has now come to the
parting of the ways; she must either
seek to bind herself more closely to the
Mother country Or" here Sir
James stopped and smiled. declining
to finish the sentence Secondly. he
said the United States would never
get another opportunity to break the
attempt to knit more closely the rela-
tons of Canada and England: and
thirdly, the American farmer would
sell less produce with reciprocity than
without IL.

Seleotmen of South WATERFORD Decide
to Institute Investigation.

South WATERFORD. July 16-The Sc
leetmen OF this town have decided to have
an investigation of the Are which last
Wednesday destroyed more than half of
South WATERFORD village. entaiiing a loss
Of about 100000. and an inquest will
probably be held Monday.
Ever since the fire occurred there has
been considerable talk about conducting an
Investigation and now that the selectmen
have decided to take action, the matter VIII
be thoroughly sifted. Talk of oareles sness
has been made pretty freely aud some of
the citizens have expressed themselves very
euiphatically in discussing the catastrophe
that wiped out nearly every place of bust
ness. together with many houses.
There was bit OF sensation here Sat
urday afternoon when sheriff Charles o.
Emery arrested CLYDE F. Mckinney in
whose stable the FIRE originated. the charge
against McKenney being intoxieatior.
Henry Smith was also taken into custody
on the same charge BY Deputy Sherin L.
J, Emery and both men were taken to Al
fred Jail They will be arraigned before
Trial Justice Ernest c. Knights of this
place early in the week.
All of the forest fires in this vicinity
are now under control and it is believed
that there is no immediate danger from
them. The loss on the timber which has
been destroyed will run we'll up into the
thousands. and some of the other villages
hereahoutS had narrow escapes.
