STEEL TRUST MEN
TO BE PROSECUTED
Believe Federal Grand Jury Report
lsu!eBv slusmloIpuI uIuluoD II!M
Certain High-Up Officials in the.
u. s. Steel Corporation.

New York, June 29.-What is
promised to be the most sensation
al and far-reaching antitrust ac-
ton the federal government has
ever undertaken was expected to
take definite form today, when the
federal grand jury hearing evil
dence against certain officials of the
United States Steel Corporation, its
and many independent
steel companies, made its report.
Criminal indictments, charging con-
spiracy to control prices of steel
and steel products the country over,
involving men high up in the fl
nancial world, were said to be
ready.
Some of the evidence presented
to the grand jury was said to show
that the steel business in the Uni
led States had been divided by
agreement among about twenty
people.
The governments action is di-
rected more against trust within
a trust" than against the steel cor
poration alone, although evidence
before the grand jury was said to
involve many officers of the big
company.

EXPLODE BOMB IN
STATE DEPARTMENT
Investigation OF Day Portrait Seam
dial Shows Loose Meth0ds-TwO
Prominent Officials May Be
Discharged.

Washington, June 28.-Recom-
mendation that the two Republican
officials of the state department be
discharged and severe criticism of
the loose bookkeeping methods of
the department are striking fea-
lures of the report of the sub-com-
mittee of the house which investi-
gated the Day portrait scandal. The
report was presented today.
The officials recommended for
dismissal in the $1,000 discrepancy
in the portrait voucher case are
Thomas Morrison, present disburs-
ing clerk of the department, and
William Michael, former chief clerk
of the department, but now counsel
at Calcutta.
Morrison, as disbursing officer,
paid $3.50 TO Michael on voucher
supposed to pay for portrait of
former Secretary of State Day, now
associate justice of the United
States supreme court. The artist,
Rosenthal of Philadelphia, testified
that he received only $3.50 for the
painting and Michael had furnished
no explanation of the disposition of
the $1,000 difference except to say
il was expended under the direc-
ton of Secretary of State John Hay,
now dead. The voucher was lost
for five years and found a few days
ago after the scandal had become
acute on the floor of the Office of
Mr.. Morrison. Morrison testified
that the chief clerk Of the depart
ment frequently presented vouchers
and that he paid the portrait vouch-
er merely as routine matter. The
report says:
1.-THE conclusion reached by your
committee seems irresistible that,
either the sum of 81 900 was jointly
Incorporated by Michael and
Morrison or individually by Mich
ael.
Michael, who is now holding the
responsible position Of counsel gen.
eral at Calcutta, and Morrison, who
still holds the perhaps more re-
sponsible position of disbursing
clerk of the state department,
should have long since been re-
moved from Office, and even now it
is not too late to remove both Of
said officials for the good of the
public service. and the integrity of
public officials"

STARTED TO FALL 20 STORIES.
But a Companion Landed Chicago
Steel Worker Two Stories Down.


Steel Worker Two Stories Down.
Chicago, June 2S.-0ne of the
human flies, whose agility and lack
of fear make skyscrapers possible.
toppled from the twentieth story
of the new H,isen building today.
Ordinarily the foregoing statement
would complete the story of a steel
worker, but in the case of Patrick
Eustice, a fellow workman, John
Murray interfered. Eustice prob
ably will be at work again tomor-
row.
AS Eustice toppled from a beam
some of his companions turned
away TO avoid seeing his death.
Murray was working on the nine
teenth floor and saw Eustice fall.
He reached far out and grasped the
falling man by his tough working
blouse. He was not able to hold
the weight, but gave Eustice a
swing inward. The latter landed on
the eighteenth floor on a pair of
cross beams. He was bruised, but
that was all. Murray looked down,
saw that all was well, and resumed
riveting.

THE GRASP OF THE
Big STEEL TRUST
Controls Three-FOurths OF Unmined
Ores and Most of the Mines OF
the Country-Much "Water
in Stock.

Washington, June 2S.-The re-
port of the bureau of corporations
on the Investigations of the steel
trust which will be made public
Saturday will show that the trust"
controls rs per cent of all available
ores yet unmined; sixty per cent of
all the steel business of the coun-
try; manufactures 20 per cent of
the rails, operates 80 per cent CT
the mines, controls 80 per cent of
the sheet iron and tin plate bust
ness, is gradually acquiring domi-
mating place in the coke and cement
business through ownership of the
federal fields, exercises great in
fluence over railroad transporta-
ton throughout the country and
practically dominates STEAMSHIP and
railroad lines tapping territories
where it has blast furna. es. This
forecast of the report was issued
today.
Understandings" with "independ-
ent" steel makers for twelve years
have allowed the steel trust to keep
steel prices at a permanent figure.
1t was stated today that the report
would seek to Justify the absorp-
ton by the trust of the Tennessee
coal and iron company, at the time
Of the panic of 1907, on the ground
that President Roosevelt and other
officials who sanctioned it acted I'M
der the conviction that it was then
good public policy.
Study of the actual values of the
properties owned by the corpora
ton and comparison of those values
with capitalization and earnings be-
fore the corporation was formed
shows that the present capitalize
ton of about $t,400,000,000 contains
a large per centage of water.
The corporation controls 80 per
cent of available deposits of iron
ore. Railroad transportation in the
regions where the corporation con-
ducts its mining and manufacture
ing enterprises is held under COM
plete control. In some cases this is
possible through the financial pow
er of the corporation hackers. In
other words, the fact that the di-
rectors in the corporations in con-
troll of the boards of railroads and
in still others through the fact that
the corporation has built and OPP
crates its own railroads.
The cement business, which in
recent times has become a serious
rival to steel in supplying struc-
tural material has been gathered
in by the corporation, much as the
sugar trust seized the beet sugar
industry.
Not yet complete in some of its
departmentures, the document that
will be sent to congress by Presi-
dent Taft will give a history of the
iron and steel industry during the
period down TO and including the
conditions which brought about the
formations of the present corpo-
ration.
The bitter, unrestraincd compe-
tition in the last decade before the
corporation was formed, will be
presented in striking ways; the eff
feet on prices. profits and the sta
bility Of the business will be COW

APOLOGY FROM EAST
Editor of Philadelphia Record Eats
Humble Pie at Instance OF Sec
rotary OF State Hodges.

Little Rock, June 28.-Secre-
tary Of State Earl w. Hodges, has
received a letter of apology from
the managing editor of the Phila-
delphia Record, which paper had
taken Mr.. Hodges severely TO task
in connection with The veto of the
federal income tax amendment
passed by the last legislature.
In some way the Philadelphia pa
per had obtained the impression
that Secretary Hodges is governor
of the state, and what it said about
the attempt TO veto the legislative
resolution was what, in common
parlance, is known as ''a-plenty."
Mr.. Hodges replied TO the Records
editorial lambasting, informing it
that he was not governor, and re-
minding that paper of some recent
political rottenness in Pennsylvania
that it might make observations
about instead OF mixing up Arkan-
sas officials and mixing into Ar
kansas affairs.
I'VE acknowledge the corn" hum
bly, writes the editorial manager, in
response to Mr.. Hedges letter
From the number of letters we
have received since publishing the
editorial on Arkansas officials, we
are inclined TO believe there are
many people who know great deal
more about the personnel of Ar
kansas officials than we thought we
knew. We regret the mistake"
The paper showed grit, however,
as it published the letter Mr.. Hodg-
es had written. in full. roast and all.

HINES SAYS TAFT
WANTED LORIMER
Man Charged With Raising Corrup-
ton Fund Talks Before Commit
tee Regarding the President
and Aldrich.

Washington, June 29-Edward
Hines, the millionaire lumberman,
whose name has been repeatedly
connected with the alleged raising
OF 100000 to elect Lorimer to the
senate, took the witness stand in
his own defense today before the
senate committee. Il is expected
that he will be the last expert wit
ness to be examined in Washington
at this time.
In response to questions, Hines
said he had never smoked nor did
not drink liquor, although he did
take a glass of beer or wine oc-
casionally. He drank wine at his
dinners on his doctors prescrip-
tion. Hines said he had lived in
Lorimer's Congressional district
and had known him for years. He
said he had been intensely inter-
ested in the lakes to the gulf deep
waterway proposition, which Lori
mer advocated.
Sends Telegram.
Hines said this first communica-
ton with Lorimer regarding the
senatorship was a telegram he sent
to Lorimer regarding the candidacy
of a Chicago hardware man for
United States Senator.
Hines said his first communica-
ton filed for five years before he
testified before the Helm commit
tee. He said he paid no more at
tention to the senatorship until
April, 1909, when Senator Penrose
asked him to find out about the
Senatorship situation in Illinois.
Hines said Penrose told him Sem
ator Aldrich was anxious to have
a Republican senator from Illinois,
because the vote on certain
schedules of the payne-Aldrich
tariff looked close"
He said Penrose asked him to see
Lorimer.
To the White House.
Later Aldrich told me he would
like to have me go to the White
House with him to discuss the Illi-
nois situation with the president"
said Hines.
II urged upon Aldrich that it
might be embarrassing to him for
me TO go up there. He urged me
to go, but finally arranged that l
go to his house and wait for him.
when he returned he said he
had had a long talk with the presi-
dent on the Illinois situation. SEN
ator Aldrich said the auministra-
tion was very anxious TO have a
senator elected and they felt
Congressman Lorimer could be
elected. They wished me to urge
him to become a candidate"
