GOV. BALDWIN's VIEWS.
Says Steel Trust Now Has Chance to Prove Claim That It Didn't
 Violate the Law.

New Haven, Oct 27-If the govern ment proves it's charges the court may be justified in dissolving the United States Steel company, under the Sherman Act, according to GOv- ernor Simeon E. Baldwin, of Connec- ticut, today, former Chief Justice of the State Supreme court, a lecturer at Yale Law school and recognized as one of the country's leading jurists. He said:
 s'The Steel Company now have a chance before an impartial tribunal to reply to the charge that. they violated the Sherman Act. They have been claiming that they did mot violate it. If they prove they did not, or rather if the government does not prove that they did, the public will be glad to have the thing settled and the law made plain.
 eff, on the other hand, they are guilty, they will be dissolved and wound up.
 s.The government rests it's case good deal, I notice, on the Tennessee Coal & Iron deal. If they are right, President Roosevelt was deceived when he agreed to wink at it. If so.. the government may be justified in insisting on it as a cause for .disso- lution. The court will look at it very carefully, no doubt, in determining what aresthe equities between the two parties.
 'sThis is a civil suit, in which the question is, what judgment would it be equitable to render under all the circumstances"

STEEL KINGS TO FIGHT.
Magnates Hold All Night Session at J. P. MOrgan's Home to Decide
 on Campaign Plans.

New York, Oct 27-The steel kings will not be usurped from their throne of power without a fight that will be- come classic in American legal an- nals. A meeting of the linen higher up" in the great corporation was held, last night, in the famous libra ry of J. Pierpont Morgan's town house. It did not adjourn until one o'clock, this morning Just who att tended cannot be learned with cer- tainty. The financiers who attended arrived unceremoniously in closed limousines, with curtains down and in darkness. They emerged hurrfedly from their vehicles and dashed into Morgan's home. Window shades were down, reporters were thrust aside by the strong arm squad"
 ing is not known. It is only known that for hours, the men, who hold the destinies of the billion dollars cor poratfon in their hands, discussed the situation.
 While no official statement was forthcoming, the indications are that the governments dissolution suit will be fought to the last ditch. This view is based not only on the formal state ment recently issued by J. Pierpont Morgan and ex-Judge Ebert H. Gary in which they stated they were ad- yised by counsel that the activities of the corporation were within the pale of the law, but also upon the comment of Francis Efnde Stetsor, counsel for the steel corporation. Stet- son said:
 'sWe shall know just. where we stand and with what we are charged and we can act accordingly. ..
 Stetson declared it had been gen. orally believed the suit will be brought but he declined to discuss the action further than this until he had time to examine the papers in the case. 1. ] Incidental to these more important matters, United States marshals are here. busily engaged in serving Judge Gary at the Waldorf, last night, and today are hunting up authorities as Morgan, Daniel G. Reid, Norman B. Ream, Henry c. Prick, Andrew Carnegie, Judge William H. Moore and the others of the score Or more men named in the suit. To this end Marshal Henkle, of New York, put all his deputies at work.
 Ex-Judge Gary arrived at his down. town office at 10:30 this morning. He was immediately assailed by squad of newspapermen who demanded statements.
 T have nothing to say now,' he de- clared. 'T have not decided whether I shall make a statement but if l do it will be much later in the day.
 J. Pierpont Morgan accepted service in the suit at his home, this morning. A united States, deputy met him just before he left for his downtown of flee.

The LaFollette packers contended that Taft's trip in the west did not strengthen him and if he had broken with financial powers in the east La Follette's prospects were brighter than ever
 The Democrats. however, took the attitude that Wall street powers; sec ing such a move to be inevitable, greatly desired to have it during the present Republican administration than to face the possibility of such an action under a Democratic President.
 The net result was confusion of public opinion. The Washington Post, owned by John R. Mclean, which had been vigorously supporting Taft, to- day, assailed the administration for filing the suit, saying in part:
 ''The suit is the most spectacular piece of trust busting thus far att tempted and it's effect upon the hon- est business interests of the country will probably be injurious X war between the government and it's people cannot last long. Such strife is anarchy and it must cease"

BUSTING THE TRUSTS.
Democrats at Washington Take Cred- it in Forcing Taft Administration
 to Act Against Barons.

Washington. Oct. 27lEndless poli- tical features were, today. attached to the suit to dissolve the Steel Trust and the case jumped into the fore front of a greatly complicated politi- cal situation.
 The Democrats claim credit for forcing the administration to act, through the investigation conducted by the Stanley Committee of the House. They charge that the Repub, licans are attempting to forestall Stanley, who will resume his inquiry into the trust November 15
 The Taft forces point to the suit in support of their claim that the ad- ministratfon is really going to bust the trusts
 The antitrust Republicans called the suit a grand stand play design ed for election purposes.

INDEPENDENT TICKET RUMOR

There are rumors that an Indepen- dent ticket, headed by Mayor Buck ingham, will be placed in nomination, but confirmation is lacking, and these rumors are exceedingly improbable, however much such a move, as as- surfing the election of Wilson, would meet the approval of Republican Boss King and his packers in the public service corporations.
