Fine Arts Commission in reporting on
the s., 900, 900 memorial to Abraham Lin

dent Taft in reply to a complaint by
Senator CuIlom regarding the delay
Burnham's explanation follows:
1.-The Lincoln monument Is the most
important thing the Government has
submitted to us. 1t seemed unW1se 70
report until everybody had a chance to
suggest site. The time having passed
two months ago, we went to work on
the paper. A tentative draft of it has
twice been read to the commission and
sent back to the committee for revision
and at our next meeting 1t will be
adopted. as there is little left to do on
it. We hope to meet in two weeks"

STANLEY SAYS GARY
AIMS TO FORESTALL
GOVERNMENT ACTION
Chairman of Probers Thinks
Steel Trust Head Plans
Evasion.

Representative Stanley, chairman of
the special House committee investi-
eating the Steel trust, expressed the
belief today that the conference Of steel
men now on at Brussels, and the pro-
posed international working agreement
between the steel men of the world.
is to forestall probable competition in
the openlmarket in the event the United
States Steel Corporation is dissolved.
"Of course ! cannot say that the
United States Steel Corporation will be
dissolved said Chairman Stanley, but
behind the Brussels conference, in my
opinion, is the motive to guard against
open competition in the event Of the
dissolution of the greatest steel COM
pany in this country.
IF It Is shown that the cost OF pro-
duction is not such as to justify present
prices; that labor has not shared in the
profits of tho United States Steel Cor
poration; that the price to the con-
sumner has increased, and that the cost
likely to be a demand for a substantial
reduction in the tariff, and the Steel
trust would be forced to compete In the
open market.
Il do not charge that Judge Gary
and other steel men have deliberately
international conference at Brussels, but
II Is to be assumed that Judge Gary's
endeavors to get a worldwide COM
munity of interests among the steel men
is a natural one under the clrcum-
stances"
Chairman Stanley's statement would
indicate that the investigating commit
tee will make some recommendations as
to the tariff on steel, along with its
report on the steel industry, and it is
trournHa hla TINT tho dissolution
the steel corporation may be urged by
the House committee.
The investigators will resume hear
ings in about a week.

terminal company shall be author-

THAT is, the railroad and the ter
ninal were authorized to take lands for
the purpose of developing the ter

that the organization Of the Real Is

evident that the Government Is gong

ought not to permit this. The govern

handsomely, when the Union station
was built. II now 1t hands the railroad
a million or more of profits in real

Antics Of an Irreverent Visitor S7 the
National Capitol.

A big man with fierce. briStlinS
gray beard and wearing broad brim-
med SLOUGH hat marched down the
main corridor Of the capitol, closely
followed by a guide at dOgtret
They had inspected statuary hall and
the rotunda and looked in at the cham

the sights shown him than to utter an
occasional grunt, snort or growl.

the corridor and jerked his head to-

mopped his heated brow.

LIGHTNING VERSUS STEAM.
Testing the Telegraph In the Early
Days of Its Invention.

Years ago, when the electric tcle-
graph was new idea and mystery
TO the masses. there came trouble one
Saturday night in the Bank Of Eng
land. The business of the day had
closed and the balance was not right.
There was deficit of just fl0d. 1t was
not the money, but the error. that
must be found. For the officers and
the clerks there could be no sleep until
the mystery had been cleared up. All
that night and all Sunday force of
men were busy; money was surely
gone from the vaults, but no one could
discover whence.
On the following morning clerk
suggested that the mistake might have
occurred in packing for the West In
dies some boxes of specie that had
been sent to Southampton for ship
ment His chief acted on the SuggeS-
ton. Here was an opportunity TO test
the powers of the tclegraph-lightning
against steam, and steam with forty
eight hours the start. Very soon the
telegraph asked man in Southamp-
ton, HAS the ship Mercator sailed?"
The answer came back, "Just weigh
ing anchor"
stop her I'm the queens name
flashed back the telegraph. "She Is
stopped" was returned.
"IIave on deck certain boxes (marks
given, weigh them carefully and let
me know the result" telegraphed the
chief.
This order was obcyed, and one box
was found TO be somewhere about one
pound and ten ounces heavier than its
mates-just the weight Of the missing
sovereigns. "All right. Let the ship
go" was the next order.
