 The case in point grew out of cer- tain threats. accompanied by a gun play, said to have been made by one Sebe Mitchell against the male portion of the colored population of Alley B in general and Joe Brown and John Henry in particular.
 The said John Henry is a tall, lanky coon and while Joe Brown got mixed up in the embroglio, the center of the stage belongs to him, for he testified that though unmarried he took a de- light in chopping wood for the female population of the alley aforesaid, re-

 Gives Trust Talk
 Mir Temple delivered a lengthy trust talk to the committee, describing good and bad trusts. He classed the United States Steel corporation a good trust.
 MT. Temple produced, in connection with the structural steel agreement, a price list in which the country was ap- portioned, and different prices fixed for various sections.
 Under that agreement, were the members of the associations able to adhere to this price lst?' he was asked
 After the bitter warfare in the steel business, prior to 1897, it was difficul, to hold anybody, but after 1904, I may say, there was no destructive compe- tition."
 Mr Temple further said there were many violations of the pool agreements The Carnegie company, he said, never was caught violating pool agreement In those days, he said, every man in the steel business carried a .'toma- hawk"
 "The greatest harmonizer in the steel business,' said he, was MT. Schwab.
 When these agreements were or dered stopped" MT. Temple said, "an- other gentlemans agreement the kind we have heard so much about, was entered into, providing that every scrap of paper bearing directly or indirect ly on these pools ar agreements be de- stroyed"
 Your record here of agreements of the Steel Plate association and Struc- tural Steel association show how well that genteman's agreement was kept but you did not get any of my rec ords."
 Well we have picked up some of the matters" said Chairman Stanley but I admit we did not get any of them from you"

Tse had enough oi dat 'sinuation about ma wife and ma state. an l dare yo' to tsay anoder word" As Sebe said this he looked at Joe and pointed the gun at John and the silence that ensued was as marked as that of the prohibition pol itician on the local option issues.
 Again he brandished his artillery and resumed. II wants to say furder, dare
 yo' to breathe' And John and Joe held their breath until they almost busted

 Sebe denied toting the gun, but h. acknowledged it's ownership and state' that the charges made by MT. Browi and MT Henry were far from the truth and that he was the victim of deel and dire conspiracy.
 John Henry was called upon to cross examine Sebe and the controversy be tween the two if produced verbatim would make rich dialogue for Georg Evans honey boy minstrels,
