TO CONTROL
Publicity, Too, Of Corporations
Bound to Come
SHERMAN LAW "ARChAlC"
Steel Industry Now Steering Course
Between Law and Destructive
Competition

Washington, June 3.-Elbert II.
Gary, chairman of the United States
steel corporations directorate, told
the Stanley steel trust" investigat-
ing committee at Washington yester-
day that his corporation stood behind
j. Pierpont Morgan in averting a dis
astrous panic in 1907 He insisted,
challenging the statements by John
w. Gates, before the committee last
week that the purchase by the steel
corporation OF the Tennessee coal and
iron company at that time was at a
price more than it was worth for the
express purpose of preventing the col
lapse of the New York banking firm
OF Moore and Schley.
Mr.. Gary related a dramatic story
of the momentous events which pre-
coded the absorption OF the Tennes.
see corporation. He described how
he and Henry c. Frick at the in
stance OF Mr.. Morgan. revealed the
plan Of buying the company at a
price greater than its value to Pres
ident Roosevelt and Mr.. Root, then
secretary of state He told, also, how
he concluded after their interview
with Mr.. Roosevelt that any govern.
ment prosecution of their act would
have been an outrage
Mr.. Gary made many surprising
statements during his eight hours ex.
animation, but none more startling
than his declaration that government
control, and publicity OF corporations
in this country must come. He said
that, through the American iron and
steel institute, the heads of the
steel industry, were trying to steer
/ a course between the Sherman anti
! trust law, which he characterized as
archaic on the one and and the old
time methods OF destructive Compel
ition on the other in order to oper
ate for the public welfare Mr.. Gary
told the committee he wanted every
thing known concerning the steel col
poration and more than all he plead
ed for some responsible governmental
source to which such a great corpor
alton could appeal for guidance in
the conduct OF its business. He
agreed to furnish the committee SC
much that it wished to know that he
will be recalled when it meets agar
next Wednesday. Others who have
been summoned to appear are W. B
Dickson of the steel corporation anC

Adventure Thursday Evening

Burlington, June 9.-When Police
men Barry and Brodie went to the
house at the corner of Maple and
Battery streets Thursday night to
arrest Lewis brothers they met with
a warm reception. The interior was
dark and when the door was opened

light and saw that he was confronted
by .32 revolver, every chamber of
which was afterward found to be
loaded Brothers Immediately slam
med the door shut but Barry burst 1t
open and seized the gun before any
harm was done Then he and Officer
Brodle brought the man to the lock-
up. On the way up in the hack, the
old man sang most of the way and
seemed to have no idea Of what was
going on. 1t is thought that he is
demented as he has been acting
queerly OF late. He was arrested on
a charge Of intoxication.

TREATMENTS STRIKE | IS NOT FELT HERE
DIVISION SUPERINTENDENT OF QUEEN AND CRESCENT SAYS NO TROUBLE NEED BE EX- PECTED LOCALLY

The threatened strike of locomotive firemen on the Queen and Crescent Route will have no effect in Birmingham, ac- cording to an announcement made last night by J. W. Evens, superintendent of this division. It was reported here that the f1remen on the Queen and Crescent would strike at 520 o'clock unless the demand that white firemen be given pref erence over negroes was complied with On account of the fact that the Alabama Great Southern railroad is a unit of the Queen and Crescent Route the report was very disquieting to the local railroad of ficials
 The firemen on this division, according to Superintendent Evens, are not dis pleased with conditions and have made no demand upon the management so far as he is advised for change in the working conditions. MT. Evens added that his trains were operating very smoothly and everything was placid SC far as he was advised.
 Vice President Thomas c. Powell of the Queen and Crescent Route issued a statement last night in which he said the feeling was on account of the inter- pretation of contract and not caused by any other reason. He said there would not be any trouble as a result of the threatened strike.

MANY MORE MEN
 WANTED. FOR NAVY
ORDERS ISSUED TO RECRUIT ING OFFICERS FOR RENEWED ACTIVITY IN ENLISTMENT IS REGARDED AS SIGNIFICANT

Two weeks ago the headquarters of the all recruiting stations to cease enlisting men for service unless they were of. the very best physical and mental specimens that could be obtained. This cut down the enlsting to practically nothing. A man was required to have references as to his character and capacity for work from his employers in addition to rigid physical examination at the hands of the navy re- cruiting officer
 The orders from headquarters stated that the navy had all the men that were needed, which was given as reason for the order.
 Yesterday orders from headquarters of the south at Chattanooga were received the recruiting officer to begin general en- listment No reasons were given for the quick change, but the order Is regarded as significant in connection with the mob ilization of troops on the Mexican from tier.
 While nothing official has been re- ceived here in regard to the order re- establishing general enlistment, it is re- garded as significant" said Roy Smith, focal recruiting officer yesterday after noon. Tt is the opinion of officers who are familiar with the workings of the de- partment that there is connection be- tween the order and the situation on the Mexican border. The original order was so rigid that it practically stopped enlist ment."

WEST DEPENDS ON
 ALABAMA FOR COAL
So Says Texas Purchasing Agent R. E. Smith of
 Dallas

N E. Smith of Dallas, represent ing the Dow Coal company, purcras agents for several western raiiroaos' Is in Birmingham. He was here las' summer and purchased in Birmingham a very large quantity of coal for snip ment to the west to. aid in the strihe in that zone MT. Smith said yester- day he was not in the market al this time and was here only for the pur pose of getting some railroad 'rai'' matters strengthened out.
 "I anticipate that business Will pe very good during the year said MT Smith. However, things are qulet al this time and business somewhat lax In our country we have a fine amount of coal now as all our mines are oper- atine and we have no internal dlstur hances to create a shortage of coal Tn our markets. However, if anything should happen to bring our section lnto the market there is no doubt that we would come right to Birmingham TOT our supply We were taken care or amply last year and the fuel we re- cejved was the best ever. Alabama made a distinct impression upon our coun- trv by the ease with which the orders were filled.

PERSONALS

E. Jacobs of Jacobs Pharmacy has gone to Atlanta for a stay of two weeks.
 
 MT. Lovejoy it was shown that by req son of the fact that the coal industry is not so general as other manufacturing industries, it is necessarily conducive to conditions the more intense and, there fore. conditions which demand more care full legislation Before the industry was developed in this country, he said that women and girls were formerly worked as miners in England. They had been eliminated long since, however. and he asserted that the attitude of coal oper- : ators in Pennsylvania today Is markedly in favor of eliminating boys under IA years of age from the work.
 "One of your most prominent coal op- orators recently told mo that no child under 16 years of age should be employed in any mine,' he said, rand I hold this statement as an ernest for your action when the question shall come up before your legislature. Under equal conditions children working in mines are incidental to 300 per cent injuries in excess of adult laborers. You should profit by the ex- perience of other communities and hope there will be an effort in the Birmingham region to avoid the costly lessons that have been learned by other districts, and make the coal industry blessing to fam files who need employment. as well as making 1t more profitable to those who control its operation.

 ADJUDGED GUILTY
WELL KNOWN ATTORNEY WAS TRIED FOR ALLEGED VIOLA TON OF PENSION LAW IN THE FEDERAL COURT

Upon charge of having violated sec tion of the United States pension laws, Robert l.. Leatherwood, lawyer of Bir- the federal court. The jury returned a verdict of guilty yesterday morning after Attorneys Bell and Allen concluded their defense of Attorney Leatherwood.
 The defendant has not been incarcerated yet, but unless he gives notice of appeal it is probable that the United States mar shal will take him into custody
 The trial of Leatherwood has taken up three days in the federal court with Judge Grubb presiding. He was accused of having overcharged a negro on fee for procuring pension for the negro. The United States statutes stipulate the amount of the fees to be charged for such services. It was charged by Pen sion Examiner King, for the government, that this sum was exceeded by the fee asked by the accused attorney.
 The defense maintained that although higher sum than named was charged, it was for the securing of a divorce for the negro and for borrowed money.
 B. M. Allen represented the defense with Robert N. Bell. while the govern ment was represented by District Attor- neys Street and Kennemar. MT. Leath- erwood it is stated. will give notice of an appeal to the United States court of appeals.
 The conviction of Attorney Leatherwood was the occasion for much street gossip yesterday. He has figured in other trials. He has been practicing law here for sev- eral years
