 Several days ago it became known that tha surrender of the lease probaply would he the Steel corporations answer to this report, but 1t has been the in- tention of the corporation to conduct US business within the pale of the sherman antitrust law.
 The cut recommended in iron ore rates ia believed to be the companys reply to the second of two chief points made against it in the report that it was charg- ing excessive rates on ore, thereby put ling n handicap on independent steel companies, which might have to ship ore ever these two lines. The reduction amounts to 25 per cent of the present late. .
 The iron ore deposits covered by the lease have been variously estimated to contain between 250,000,000 and 1,OOOVOo'O0 O0o tons of the finest ore in the country. The lands containing this ore were owned partly by the Northern Pacific railway, but principally by companies controlled by the Great Northern Railway company They were placed in the hands or trustee in 1906 and leased to the United States Steel corporation through the Great Western Mining company, sub salary of the corporation, which itself guaranteed the lease. Under the con tract a minimum tonnage was to be eX tracated each year, which increased from year to year at an advancing rate, be- ginning with $1.65 per ton.

Lease Surrendered

New York October 26.-Directors of the United States Steel corporation here to- day formally decided to cancel the cor poration's lease of the Great Northern ore properties.
 The directors also adopted resolutions recommending to the directors of the Duluth, Mesaba and Northern Railroad company reduction in freight rates on iron ore from points in the Mesaba branch to Duluth to @ figure not ex- ceeding GO cents per ton, and to Duluth and Iron Range Railroad company a similar reduction on the iron ore rate from the Vermillian and Mesaba ore range to Duluth and Two Harbors, Minn.,
 Chairman Gary declined to discuss the report that William E. Corey. former president of the corporation; Henry Phipps or Norman B. Ream were to re- sign as directors.
 The orc lands described in the resolu- tion as the lands of the Great Western Mining company are more generally known as the great ore lands. The grant has more than three years to run. The resolutions provide it be surrendered on January l. 1915.
 It was regarded in Wall street as sig nificant that surrender of the leases came after the publication of report to President Taft by Commissioner of Cor porations Smith. The report contains the following clause:

Los Angeles, October 26.-Reports from Indianapolis today that a federal grand jury would investigate the so called Me- Namara dynamiting cases supplied a theme for consideration by both sides in the McNamara case. Clarence s. Darrow chief counsel for the defense, telegraphed to Indianapolis for more information.
 A Hull in court procedure while new venire was being summoned gave oppor- tunity for consideration of the subject. It was believed that the whole aspect of the case might be changed by the action of the federal authorities and that the McNamaras, under 19 indictments for murder in connection with the destruc- ton of the Los Angeles Times building, might enter upon an entirely changed legal. status.

Is Bombshell

Washington, October 26-The filing
 of the suit was a bombshell to
 official Washington. It is said that
 only four men knew of it, so closely did the department of justice safeguard it's action against leaks. At
 torney General Wickersham, his sec- | retary, Frank Cole, and J. M. Dick | inson, former Secretary of War, the governments special counsel in the
 case, are the first three who were in the secret It is presumed that the fourth was the President of the United States.
 Special agents of the department of justice have been at work on the case gathering evidence at various times
 during the last three years. It was sta ted at the department of justice that this evidence so gathered had been supplemented by some of the tes- timony given before the Stanley com
 mittee of the House of Representatives which has been conducting an inves- tigation into the Steel corporation. Solicitor General Lehman has also
 done much toward prpearing the case. It was not generally supposed that action against the giant corporation
 was so near at hand. Many believed that the attitude taken by the corpor- ations officials in recent public state- ments probably accelerated the care fully laid plans The former Secre- tary of Wars retention as special
 counsel became known for. the first time when the bill was fled

The main purpose of the meeting of January Il, 1911, was the question of maintaining or changing the prices of the commodities in which they dealt. A majority came to the consensus of opinion which was accepted and followed by all At these meetings they not only ex- changed information, but advocated con trol of the prices and reached a com mon understanding which was followed under solemn admonition that they were bound by an obligation more estimable than life. The meetings brought about the maintenance of prices. It was under stood by them that they were travelling together and that they were going to stand together. They understood and acted upon the understanding that a statement as to what one would do as to prices or output was a promise and pledge upon honor to the others.
 At the January II. 1911, meeting and at other meetings there was a general cx- pression of opinion that prices should be maintained like the weekly trade reviews agreed. When this was reached individ- Ual declarations were made of intention to follow the movement. It was recog-
