LAYS BARE TRUST SECRETS
Startling Revelations Made by John w.
Gates Before Steel Trust Investi-
eating Committee.

Washington.-John w. Gates, under.
oath, on Saturday, laid bare before
the Stanley steel trust investigating
committee these startling facts con.
corning the steel trust and the steel
industry of the United States:
The steel trust was born at an all
night meeting at the home of ]. P.
Morgan in New York and had its in
SEPARATION in threats by Andrew Car
negie to go into railroad construction
and steel tube manufacture.
Carnegie had been demoralizing in.
fiuence in the steel industry and it
was feared he would become trouble
some in the railroad business.
Carnegie was paid $320,00O,000 in
bonds for his controlling interest in
the Carnegie Steel company, for which
he had given an option one year be-
fore for $160,0O0,0OO. Incidentally he
pocketed the $1,000,000 option forfeit
posted by w. H. Moore and C. H.
Frick.
The Tennessee Coal and Iron com.
pany was acquired by the steel cor
poration after squeeze of the syndi
cate controlling the majority stock
without the transfer of a dollar In
cash. J. Pierpont Morgan and his
partner. George W. Perkins, arranged
the shifting of securities. The ma
tority stockholders in the Tennessee
Coal and Iron company received abou
500 value in steel corporation securi
ties for the stock which they had re
fused to sell to Morgan year before
for $3.50 per share,
Gates made it quite clear that thu
acquisition of Tennessee Coal and Iro1
by the steel trust was by no means al
altruistic effort to prevent the spread
of the panic of 1907, as has been re
peatedly asserted. That was a mere
blind, he asserted. Morgan wanted
Tennessee Coal and and Iron, regard
ing the time as propitious, he applied
the screws, according to Gates.
A year before Morgan tried to blu!
stock in the concern, Gates charges
and was turned down.
The steel corporation cannot con
troll the steel industry in the Unitet
States, according to Mr.. Gates, excep
in special lines. Arbitrary abuse ant
power gained through ownership o
transportation companies, however
would enable the steel strust to crusl
independent operators forced to US
the Lake Superior region ore.
Gates, controlling stakeholder in tn
Republic Coal and Iron company, toll
the committee that he favored al
open market with competition and tn
survival of the fittest.

the moist paper an absolutely clear
imprint of the coin in a brownish
black. He describes the print as even
clearer than If he had linked the coin
and applied the linked surface to the
paper by careful pressure.
Following his questionings he pro-
cured few linotype lines of print,
assembled them, and placed the type,
face down, on a like sheet of moist
paper resting upon like sheet of tin.
When the battery wires were connect
ed with the type metal and with the
tin sheet and current applied, every
letter showed from the type lines with
out blur or blemish.
Taking a sheet of zinc In lieu of the
tin, again the electrical influences
brought the same general effect,
though the crudest of hand methods
were used in applying the type to the
paper. Dry paper was not affected;
moisture was required for the proper
conductivity
After proving to his satisfaction
that, regardless Of the pressure upon
the paper in contact, the clearness
of the lettering was satisfactory. Mr..
Brembridge sought to discover
chemical moistener for the paper
which would give the jet black effect
Of ordinary printers ink and at the
same time preserve the wilderness of
the paper.
The great trouble was to secure per-
manency in the electrical imprint.
fnV Mr.
led with the solution of his problem.
Today he announces that everything
is accomplished and proved, not only
in the matter of e Jet black print with
out ink, but asserts that he Is able to
print a newspaper in all hues of the
rainbow and with the one contact.
AS explained by Mr.. Bembridge, his
long searchings into chemical com.
binations for producing Jet black
prints led him on into electro-pigmen
tary combinations producible by oxi-
dizing processes. More than all OF
this, however, the assertion Is made
that in treating the white paper some
of the cheapest OF chemical elements
serve the purpose admirably and at a
cost far below that of the costly Drint.

As for the presses for turning orr

EnuIiShman Makes Remarkable
Discovery by Accident.
BY Means of Electricity inventor Can

Contact.

London.--About two years ago fu'

BILE printing without ink"
Just now a semi-technical London
publication has succeeded in running
down the author of the discovery and
from him 1t has the story of the ex-
pertinent up to date. The man is Ce-
Gil Bembridge, London address not
given.
1t was an accidental lead which Mr..
Bembridge picked up In his discovery
of inkless printing. 1t was about IL
years ago that, working in his labora-
tory with an electric battery. he had
spread a sheet of tin on the table and
on the tin plate he had laid piece OF
moist paper. The bare ends of the
copper wires from his battery trailed
over this sheet of wet paper which
had stuck fast to the plate of tin.
His experiment originally was to dis
cover a certain electrometallurgic
action in connection with gold and for
the purpose of the experiment he
reached into his pocket for a gold coin.
AS he brought handful of miscellane-
GUS coins from his pocket, 3 gold
piece slipped through his fingers, roll
ed upon the table and In catching
ut the coin. he clamped the sovereign
upon one OF the connecting battery
wires and in firm contact with the
moist paper. In the effort at stop
ping the coin. too, the other wire
was pushed over until 1t lay in con-
tact with the sheet of tin. Then came

who repulsed a large force Of rebels
while the former president of Mexico
was on his way from Mexico City to
Vera Cruz. The latest estimate places
the number of rebel dead at twenty
and the mounded unknown.
The rebels came into the open as
the trains were approaching Tepeya-
hualco. They numbered 500 and be-
gan fierce attack. The federals at
once detrained and used rapid-fire
guns.
General Diaz ordered his special car
to proceed nearer to the scene and
as 1t drew up he alighted and with
pistol in hand ran forward to aid his
defenders. The federals' quick action
with the rapid-firers, however, had
taken the rebels by surprise and they
were soon in full retreat.
