the auspices of the United Daughters
Of the Confederacy. Captain DeLeon
attributed the disregard of Davis eff

which was "invincible In peace and
invisible in war" Bestowal of crosses

CONSPIRACY CASE
LOOMS UP AGAINST
: THE STEEL TRUST
Prosecution Based on Gen.
eral Statutes Is Likely to
Be Called For.
BY JUDSON c. WELLIvER.

A resolution calling on the Attorney
General for reasons, if there be any,
why the United States Steel Corporation
and its management should not be pros
ecpted for conspiracy and for violation
OF the Sherman act, may be one of the
early incidents of The steel inquiry.
A Democratic leader declared today
that he believed prosecution would lie
under the conspiracy statutes, on &C.
count of the methods that were en-
ployed to obtained control of the Ten
nessee Coal and Iron Company. He ex-
pressed this conviction on the basis of
the testimony of John w. Gates and
that of Judge Ebert H. Gary.
/ am not referring to a prosecution
under the Sherman act" said this DEM
ocrat. II have no doubt that a prose-
cution under that act would lead to a
decision similar to that in the tobacco
case. But, in addition to that, l con-
slider that Il e general conspiracy stat
utes wero violated in the process that
squeezed the Gates-Moore-Schlev syn
dictate out of their control. The Ten
ncssee company was a most dangerous
Of the Steel Corporation, and
It's control was greatly to be desired.
The Gates syndicate was caught where
it could be squeezed, and the pressure
was Dut on it."
Because of the part which he played
in the Tennessee company's absorption,
Senator Root may be summoned before
the House committee: and eX-President
Roosevelt will not improbably be sum-
The committee will take no
more testimony before Wednesday. and
at that time, there may be a proposal to
hold sittings in New York. where rec
ords and people will be more easily
accessible.
