Of the Great Lakes Towing company

in its suit brought to compel the dis
solution of the alleged trust, now on
hearing here These books will
show, It is claimed, just what towing
and its character was done during the
eleven years Of the company's exis-
tence.
The defense of the company Will be
that it is not in interstate business
and that the Sherman antitrust law
is not applicable to It,
NJ. II. Wardwell, secretary Of the
company, was on the witness stand
most of yesterday. He claimed that
the company specializes in harbor
towing and that its towing business
between ports IN different states was
practically nothing.
Attorney Day read from three huge
volumes records of earnings paid over
by the subsidiary concerns to the pa
rent body, which Wardwell testified
were correct. These showed that as
the company secured control OF the
towing business in various lake ports,
dividends jumped from ten per cent
to as high as fifty per cent. Ward
we'll admitted that stockholders OF
the Hand & Johnson Tug line Of Buff
falo, an al eyed subsidiary, had been
paid a dividend Of fifty per cent on a
capitalization of S150,O00.

dends were possible, counsel asked
Wardwell what percentage of the tow
ing business his company did. About
