U. S. Better or Than a Month Ago.

The treasury made a much better
showing for May than it did for April
and it's condition as compared with a
month ago Is materially strengthened.
The piling up of gold coin and bullion
in the vaults continues steadily. A
little more than 100000 was
there June 1, the high water mark for
the treasury's gold holdings.
The governments finances begin a
new months business on the basis
of a surplus. 1t is small-less than
81 ,000 000-but a surplus is shown in
spite of nearly 100000 spent from
the cash drawer for the Panama
canal. Under ordinary circumstances
surplus of nearly $5,000,000 would
be shown.
Mays receipts from all sources ex-
ceeded SCI, 100000 and beat April by
a round $10,000,000. Expenditures,
however, were held down to about
s56,000,000, some 100000 greater
than last month.
Corporation tax receipts, which will
come in this month and promise to
exceed the estimates, will add to the
strength OF the treasury.

another investigation at the hands
Of his colleagues. The inquiry will be

sion. The method selected is regard
ed as the latest thing in jury trials.
1t took seven hours debate to agree
on the system, and 1t was finally
adopted by a vote of rs to 20, be-
ing substituted for the plan urged
by Senator La Toilette Of turning
the case over to five senators who
were not members when the case was
voted on before, and therefore were
supposed to be unbiased.
1t is understood that the sub-com-
mittee on investigation will consist
of Senators Dillingham; and Gamble,
Republicans, and Fletcher and John
ston, Democrats; pro-Lorimer, and OF
Senators Clapp and Kenyon, Repub-

Commission Makes New Ruling.

The state securities commission,
composed of Banking Commissioner
Doyle, Attorney General Kuhn and
State Treasurer Sleeper, at a meet
ing held in Lansing, ruled that the
mortgage securing a bond issue exc
cuted by any corporation Of any char
acter mentioned In subdivision f and
section q of the banking laws, which
are electric roads, street railways and
gas or electric light or power COM
pan,es, must provide for the payment

the bonds; and an equal percentage OF
the balance Of such bonds must be re-
tired each year of such periods there
after; also that such companies must
furnish certified copies of franchises
and all proceedings in connection
Herewith.
In view of the present depression.
the changes that have taken place
within the last three years in bulk
freight business on the great lakes
and in the increases Of vessel tonnage
and facilities for loading and unload
ing, resulting in greatly increased
carrying capacity and excess of YES
sci tonnage over the commodities to
be carried, 1t is a question whether
or not the securities commission will

GARY SAYS STEEL CORPOR.
ALTON WOULD WELCOME ANY
CONDITION OF STABILITY.
ADMITS PLAN FOR INTERNA
TIoNAL AGREEMENT COVER.
ING WORLD TRADE.
Declares Sherman Law Fails TO Meet
Modern Needs and Predicts
Radical Change.

Ebert II. Gary. chief executive OF.
ficer Of the u. s. Steel corporation.
resuming his testimony before the
house steel trust" investigating com.
mittee denounced the Sherman anti
trust law as archaic and declared
that governmental control OF cor
porations eventully would come.
Mr.. Gary asserted that the steel
change and would be glad II the gov
eminent would go SO far as to dictate
the prices Of steel products.
In explanation OF the reported
worldwide trust" Mr.. Gray said that
conference would be held in Brus-
sells July and 6 to organize an in
ternational steel institute similar to
the American Iron & Steel institute
The latter, he asserted, was formed
to prevent Generalization in trade
and to permit an exchange Of ideas
for the betterment of the steel In
dustry. In no instance, Mr.. Gary
said, had there been any attempt at
an unlawful combination or an ex-
pressed or implied agreement Mr..
Gary said he would do all he could,
morally and legally, to further the
proposed international institute.
Increased prices are to be charged
for steel rails in the near future, ac-
cording to Mr.. Gary. Higher cost OF
labor and raw material, together with
demand for heavier rails were CIV
en- as the reason for the advance.
Il think it is question OF the
greatest importance how the people
shall be protected from the great or
CARNATIONS OF capital" said Judge
Gary.

Tax Commission PIeases Osborn.

Governor Osborn Is satisfied that a
great deal Is to be accomplished In
making more satisfactory the tax
system of the state. or course, he
still believes that the solution of the
tax problem Is the payment of the
state taxes by corporation income
tax. but he is saying very little about
that just now.
81 am sure the new commission for
the investigation of the problem will
do effective work." said the gov
ernor. TT has big opportunity and
think the men who comprise the
commission will give the work the
necessary thought and attention to as
sure results.
THE re-appraisal of the mining
property of the state by a non-inter-
ested expert will be Of great assist
ance to the board of equalization and
the work of independent bodies who
are gathering tax data will aid the
equalizers in arriving at fair ap-
portionment Of the state taxes"

ton of the University Of Michigan was

8. Searle. President Hutchins Of the
state university was present, and In
his address outlined the policy and
purpose of the movement. He pointed
out that Michigan must become an en-
dowed institution II she hopes to main
tain her present high rank among the
great universities of the country. 1t
Is the hope of President Hutchins to
organize every county in the state into
organizations similar to the Gratiot
county body. Anyone who has ever
attended Michigan or who has children
there is eligible.
A constitution and bylaws were
drawn up and adopted and the fol
lowing officers elected: President.

VIII Work at Houqhton.

]. r. Finlay, to whom has been in
trusted the important work Of making
a revaluation of the mining properties
of Michigan, has selected Houghton as
his headquarters for the work. Mr..
Finlay said that as so per cent of the
mining properties of the state Of
Michigan are located in the upper
peninsula and as Houghton Is a cen
trail point in the peninsula, he has dc
cided that he can direct the work bet
ter from there than he could from
Lansing.

Two More Postal Savings Banks.

Three northern Michigan towns
now have branches of the United
States postal savings bank-Calumet,
Houghton and Iron Mountain. The
plan has worked out so well at the
Houghton post office that 1t was de-
cided to extend 1t to Calumet. II is
believed that thousands of the mining
classes who fear to deposit in the reg
ular banks will avail themselves of
the protection of Uncle Sam for their
money in the postal banks. This has
been found true at Houghton.

Knox Refuses to Give information

BY direction of President Taft Sec
rotary of State Knox has refused to
give the house committee on expendi-
lures in the state department any
information concerning the peculiar
way in which Albert Rosenthal was
paid $3.50 for his painting of former
Secretary Day, while the item was
covered by a $2,450 voucher. 1t has
become known that the painting was
paid for out of the secret emergency
fund of $4,000, which does not have
to be accounted for publicly. Why
this is done is not known.
The president holds that as all the
expenditures Of this fund had been
certified by Mr. Hay to President
Roosevelt, they cannot be made pub
lie now. But he directs Mr.. Knox to
finish his investigation and submit
the matter to him (TafD.

HOP JOINT CASE
RAISES QUESTION
OF DEFINITION
What Is Reputation" In
the Legal Sense of the
Word-But Hong Is Gull
ty

Just what is the meaning of the
word reputation, in its legal sense,
was a much mooted point in the city
court, today. when Charles Hong, the
city and one of the leading Celestials
of the East, was on trial on the
charge Of maintainin a place reput-
ed to be an opium joint.
Policemen who had traversed the
vicinity of the hop joint for years
know the reputation of the place.
They only knew what they had been
told about it.
The court upheld the contention of
Attorney w. H. Comley. Jr., that a
YES" or mo-" answer must be made
to this question:
do you know what is the reputa-
ton of Charles Hong's placer"
To this Policemen O'Neil, Beamer
and Bray answered, NO"
Detective Sergeant Cronan testified
that the place had a reputation
where Chinese go to smoke opium.
The place was raided early last
Sunday morning, and several layours
were seized.
Hong's counsel maintained that it
is no crime for a person to smoke
opium, or to entertain guests at m
opium smoke-fest. The state must
show, he claims that Charles Hong
maintained the place primarily as an
opium joint.
Judge Wilder found Hong guilty
and fined him $40 and costs, all the
law allows. and in passing sentence,
as in a case of similar nature early
in the week, said he believed the
penalty inadequate.
The police explained later that
their knowledge of the place came
from what other people had told
them about it. They did not under
stand that this gave the place the
reputation" Of being an opium joint
Fred w. Purcelle of Hartford, who
fell through a big plate glass window
of the Caesar Misch store at Main
and Golden Hill streets last night was
fined SIS and costs in the city court
today for drunkenness and injury to
property.

The announcement Of Sam Bernardo
engagement at Jackson's theatre on

theatrical event Of much interest, not
only on account of the prominence at
tached to the significance Of Sam
Bernard's reputation as being most
exceptionally droll person possessed Of
a fathomless fountain of natural born
humor, but because the Messrs. Shu-
bert in an effort irrespective of any
thought as to outlay have surround
ed Mr.. Bernard with a most elaborate
and beautiful costumeds scenic and
electrical display beyond anything
ever attempted in musical comedy and
as a consequence the press and pub

(COntlued from rage L.
bly, can refuse to approve a Demo-
cratic nominee to succeed Macdonald,
and after May 1. 1911. can elect an in
surance commissioner by the concur
rent vote of both houses. The Sec
ton reads:
when office Shall be Filled by the
General Assembly. No nomination of
insurance commissioner for the full
term sent to the Senate on or after
the first of May in any year in which
the term Of office of an insurance
commissioner is to expire. shall be

event that such appointment has not

sent of the Senate before such first
of May the office shall be filled for
said term by the concurrent vote of
both houses Of the General Assem-
bly,
The method by which Insurance
Commissioner Macdonald may hope to
retain his place another four years
probably would be for the Republican
majority in the Senate to hold up the
Governors appointment until May 1,
after which the Republican General
Assembly could re-elect Macdonald.
1t remains to be seen if these tactics
will prevail
