HUSBAND COULDN'T
 LEAVE DRINK ALONE
Sadie Hall, Pretty Nurse, Seeks Divorce from How ard H. Hall, Who Liked the Brew.

Sadie Hall, a pretty nurse of the North End, appeared in; the superior court this afternoon to get a divorce from Howard H. Hall, of this city. She alleged desertion and habitual in- temperance but the court was not satisfied with the evidence on either ground so he gave Attorney Cohn, representing Mrs. Hall, permission to serve another writ on the defendant. It IS probable that when the case is heard again additional testimony re- garding the intemperance will be in- troduced
 Mrs. Hall. whose maiden name was Sadie Patrick, said she married Hall Oct. 31. 1903. She declared her hus- band was a hard drinker and had lost positions with 5. R. Adams, the East Main street baker, and also with the Public Market, because of his habits. He frequently disappeared for several days at a time and was always intox- fcated when found. Oa one these oc- casions he was discovered lying in a woodshed. Hall did little or nothing for her support, the witness said. Sometimes after a debauch he refus- ed to speak to his wife for two weeks.

 Up Freight Rates W Steel Trust

Washington, Dec 15--Senator Geo. T. Oliver, (Rep.. Pal, was called as a witness before the House Steel In- vestigating Committee, today, to dis cuss freight rates on ores, coal and steel products over steel Corporation and other lines betwen the lakes and Pittsburg. s z Under examination by Chairman Stanley, Senator Oliver asserted that the rate 96 cents ton on ore from Lake Erie to points in the Pittsburg field, was exorbftant This is the rate fixed by the Bessimer & Erie, a trust subsidiary operating between Erie, Connaught and Rittsburg
 What would you suggest as a fair rate?" asked Stanley. CT think a rate of 50 cents a ton would be equitable and would leave a fair profit" re. sponded Oliver.
 Senator Oliver gave as his opinion that the carrying cost of a ton of ore from the lake to Pittsburg' on the various railroads was as follows: Bes- sinner and Lake Erie 26 cents. Pitts. burg, Bessfmer & Lake Erie g cents, Pennsylvania 31 and g cents, Wabash 35 cents, Baltimore & Ohio 3S cents.

Brandeis Tells Of Trust Imitation
 By Water Route
fspecial from United Press }

Washington, Dec. 15-Louis D. Brandeis was subjected to a fire of questions, today, by members of the Senate Committee on Interstate Com- merce. In reply to queries, he said the tangible value of the steel trust at the time of it's organization, in 1901, was estimated by the government Bu- reau of Corporatio at $682, 600 900 and by the trust officials at $1, ,457,- 100000.
 There were 25o concerns absorbed in the tobacco trust, Brandeis said. He gave monopolized power as the cause for the great revenue of the tobacco trust.
 1t was shown by the advance in quotations since the so-called disinte- grafton of the trust. Brandeis assert ed that the monopolistic power to con- trol prices still existed and was ex- ercised with. the approval of the court.
 Characterizing the steel trust as a "drfver of slaves" Brandeis said:
 'sI am not aware of any law of any state limiting hours of labor of steel trust employees. They are absolutely controlled by the trust and have no freedom
 The witness told the committee that the steel trust had increased it's plants until it had a surplus output of 43 1-3 percent.
 "Competitors recognize what this means and other corporations cannot hold their own against such competi- tion,'' he said.

 Siegerfoos was taken in custody yes- terday afternoon and Sheriff Leader arrived this morning. The accused man was arraigned in the city court this morning and his case continued for one day to allow Sheriff Leader to secure extradition papers if necessary. Sfegerfoos Is inclined to go back with out fighting extradition.
 Whats the use,' he said to a Farmer reporter; they would only hold me that much longer, and I'd have to go back anyway
 Il think can fix it up all right n he declared confidently, but Sheriff Leader does not agree with him. The authorities are not inclined to wink at a violation of a prison parole. es. pecially when cross-continent chase is necessitated by it Siegerfoos' case is particularly aggravated one be- cause of the fact that his child is a cripple and all the more in need of attention and support, and because of the circumstances connected with Siegerfoos' running away. It is be- lieved that his full term of seven years will be invoked upon him.
 The woman with whom Siegerfoos came here was at police headquarters this morning, and was questioned, but was not placed under detention The authorities do not anticipate any ac- tion against her..

 At the intercession of his wife. he was placed on parole, upon the con dition that he should pay $10 q month to the support of their child. Mrs. S4ezerfoos asked nothing in her own
 For a time Siegerfoos kept up the payments, but becoming infatuated with a young woman, came with her to this city to live, and stopped send. ing back money for the support or his child. Siegerfoos secured 8 posi- tfOn at the Locomobile factory and posed here as a single man. He boarded at 24s Broad street
