New York, Aug 4.-Charles M
Schwab. now competitor of the Unit
ed States Steel corporation, today re-
vealed that corporation before tho
house committee OF inquiry as the child

GREETED, OF Andrew Carnegie.
Mr.. Schwab pictured the steel cor
poration as a legal organization, not
formed to curtail output. restrict com
petition or maintain prices, but to de-
velop the steel industry of America.
Aside from reciting the inside history
of the origin of the steel corpora tion,
he gave the committee much informa-
tion relating to traffic matters, ore
properties and steel manufacturers.
The witness denied that the recent
Brussels conference of steel manufac-
turers of the world had anything to do
with fixing prices.
II want to assure you" he said, that
at no time was the question of price
or division Of business territory ever
mentioned. We were there, to tell the
exact truth. 1t seems to me, to have a
good time"

hurting angry invectives. Today they
adopted the more potent weapon Of
ridicule and mercilessly jeered Marshal
Farris, to the undisguised amusement
Of everyone else.
Farris Is the third of the trio of
detectives to be heard against the
prisoners. He Is a serious man and
assumed the delivery of preacher
The effect was accentuated by an TN
fortunate nasal twang. The prisoners
were not slow to see their opportunity
and before the witness had proceeded
far there was groan from the great
steel cage. followed by sighs and sobs,
first half-suppressed and then SEEM
ingly uncomfortable as the prisoners
pretended to be greatly affected by
what they heard. This mockery con-

interrupted with familiar quotations
from the church service.

"Ora pro nobis" (pray for us) "ora,

of women, told how Guzzi had bought
Segnorita Lombardl through the Ca

To escape them he took the girl to
New York, where she fell into the
hands of American associates of the
Italian criminals and the persecution
was continued. Finally, he gave the

ON arriving at Naples, the witness
said, Signorita lombard was met by
