As the Mayfower steamed up be

pedo boat destroyers, each saluting
ship fired twenty-one guns as the presi

proceeded up the river lane between
the two rows of ships to Spuyten

Special Meeting of Steel Trust Called for To-day
Attracting Wide Attention in Finan-
ciaL District.

New York, Oct 25.-Not until after the
stock market had closed to-day was 1t
known generally in the financial district
that the steel trust directors would hold
q special meeting tomorrow. All efforts
to discover the reason for this special
meeting were fruitless. The most that
could be secured was an admission that
1t would be held. The stock market just
now is so largely professional that to-
days baseball game reduced it to pure
Iy nominal affair in the afternoon. with
the exception OF weakness in American
Cotton Oh and Republic Iron and Steel
shares there was no movement worth
consideration. Trading was so light that
fluctuations in standard issues might be
construed so as to support almost any
contention one might care to advance.
The plan for dissolving the tobacco
trust developed a new humorist In the
person OF Louis D. Brandeis, attorney for
the Sherman law conspiracy Of independ-
ent tobacco dealers and author OF the
celebrated joke of how to make a brick
layer do more work by subjecting him to
scientific management. The remarkable
plan proposed to-day by the Independents
provides for a distribution Of the assets
of the tobacco trust by giving each stock
holder his pro rata valuation all in the
stock of one company and forhdding him
to buy the stock Of any other company
for five years. The insiders OF the to-
bacco company are completely crestfallen
because they did not think of this plan
first, for 1t would perpetuate the trust by
giving to each OF the leading defendants
absolute control OF one or another OF the
companies In question
1t is not likely that the courts Will
adopt the Independent plan, however
willing the insiders may be to substi

tute 1t for their own. The plan does,
however, furnish the final argument in
proof Of the contention that trust bust
ing, through the civil courts, is a roar
ing farce. With Thomas F. Ryan in
absolute control OF one branch OF the
tobacco trade. as he would be under the
independents plan. and with J. B. Duke
in control of another. and so on down
the list OF twenty-nine tobacco mag
mates, the Independents would get a new
brand OF competition that would sur
prise them. Under the Independent
plan. II would require only one-twenty-
ninth as much conspiracy to continue
the tobacco trust as under the official
plan.
The special meeting OF steel trust d.
rectors naturally caused considerable
alarm. Although London was closed be-
fore the news was made public, arrange
ments were made in many quarters to
dispose Of stocks abroad early in the
morning II is supposed that the steel
trust directors will consider at to-mor-
rows meeting designations OF one or
more directors, and perhaps the question
Of giving up the Tennessee Coal and
Iron Company will be discussed
The Great Northern Ore lease is an
other possible reason OF the board. The
general opinion seems to be that these
ore certificates will decline sharply In
quoted price as the result OF cancella-
ton Of the lease. view largely favor
ed is that the cancellation is a double
blur on the part OF the steel trust.
It might serve TO prevent government
action on account OF alleged monopoly
Of ore lands and TO cause the ore trustees
to give the trust a lower freight rate
than 50 cents per ton on ore hauled from
the property. The steel trust proposes
TO reduce the rate on ore 20 cents
ton over it's own roads.
