Worldwide Trust Due to
Congressional Inquiry

WASHINGTON, July 6.-That the
Democratic investigation of the steel
trust was the real reason behind the
conference OF the steel interests OF
the world, at Brussels, was the view
expressed today by Chairman Stanley
OF the steel trust investigating com
mittee.
1T Is natural that the steel trust
should be seeking a worldwide agree
ment to limit the output OF steel,
said Stanley. Judge Gary undoubted-
ly sees as We do that the present In
vestigation shows that the cost OF
production of steel II great deal low
er than the selling price: that the cost
Of labor In steel mills has decreased,
while the price of steel to the con-
sumner has been increased and that the
American people win demand and Sc
cure radical reductions In the tariff on
all steel products.
"That would result In an open world
market and consequent price cutting
But II an international agreement lin
iting the worlds output and prescrib-
ing limits of territory for the sale OF
the output Of each individual country
can be secured the steel trust need
fear no foreign competition"

NEW YORK, July 6.--"How should

II warn girls against poor sons OF
rich men and against good-looking
suitors.
THE attractive woman has little
chance for happiness. The woman
who Is not attractive Is more likely
TO escape suspicion on the part OF her
husband. 80

J. N. Powers, Battle Greek, Makes
Fight Of His Life To Keep
Youth From Prison.

In the trial OF Leslie Powers, OF

CELLS court. with stealing money or
ders, the main efforts OF the defense
were directed, Thursday morning, to-
ward discreditine the testimony OF
one Of the prosecutions star wit

II had been shown that Stewart
had lied to Leslie Powers about why
