Chief Executive Believes That Few
Allied Interests Are Behind the
Fight on the Treaty and That Ma
iority of All Classes Favors Its
Ratification.
Washington, May 30-Inaction by
the senate on Canadian reciprocity
may cause President Taft to put on
his fighting clothes in the near future
and let the country understand just
what is preventing the ratification of
that agreement in Washington In his
opinion, the opposition to the agree
ment, instead of being composed of
the unanimous granger, lumber, finan-
cial and fishing interests, together
with few other allied trades, in
reality consists of only few Well
known and influential men interested
in each branch of the opposition.
The president Is about ready to lose
his patience with the situation and
may pick up club and defend him.

Word has reached the president that
the efforts to defeat Canadian reci.
procity on this side of the line is en-

In Canada substantially all the op-
position is shown in the large cities,

allied against 1t on this side are oper-
ating.
The Canadian government at this
time, the president was informed, has
a majority of forty for reciprocity and
is perfectly willing to hold a general
election on the issue If necessary. He
was also told that the Canadians be-
lieve that the mass of the American

Washington, July 29.-The govern
ment will appeal to the supreme court
the Hartman merger suit, which was
decided in favor of the railroads by
the United States circuit court at
st. Louis.
Attorney General Wickersham to-
day directed G. A. Severance, the
governments special counsel in the
case, to prepare the appeal and file
it as quickly as possible.
Although the government has a
year in which to perfect it's action to
the highest court, the department. of
justice intends to hurry the suit.
Opinions have been expressed in
some quarters that the governments
appeal would be only a routine mat
ter to have the questions involved de-
cided by the highest court. At the de-
partment of justice, however, it is
stated the government is appealing
he case in the hope Of winning it.
Mr.. Severance has reported to the
attorney general that he believes the

BIG LOAN FORCED STEEL TRUST
TO TAKE OVER TENNESSEE
CORPORATION

New York, July 29-That the bro
kerage firm of Moore G Schley, that
was saved from ruin in 1907 through
the purchase of the Tennessee Coal

to J. P. Morgan and company, which
was secured by Tennessee Coal &
Iron stock, as collateral, was today
revealed to the Steel Trust investigat.
ing committee by Lewis Cass Led
yard.
Representative Littleton asked Mr.
Ledyard about the nature of Moore &
Schley's loans. He mentioned sever
a. and then said:
The firm of j. P. Morgan and COM
pany had loaned the firm consider
able money"
WAS it secured by Tennessee Coal
& Iron stock?" asked Mr.. Littleton.
''Yes it was, but the Morgan firm
had never bothered Moore and Schley
and did not call the loan"
Following this statement about the
Morgan loan, Mr.. Ledyard denounced
the inferences that have been made
concerning a co1spiracy in the Ten
nessee transaction. There never was
. more infamous charge than the
suggestion that has been made that
either Mr.. Morgan or the United States
Steel corporation brought about, en-
gineered or inspired an attack on the
Tennessee Coal and Iron company.
Sech a thing is absolutely false"
Mr.. Ledyard made defense of the
absorption of the Tennessee company
and said he never say anything ille-
gal in it. He said that since the
recent decisions of the learned chief
justice he was more than ever convinc-
ed that it was not illegal.
