STEEL TRUST CASE WILL Be

Talk Of Criminal Action
The beginning of the civil SUIT
raises the question of criminal prose
cution of those who were active in
the formation of the corporation
. There is no official information OBJ
tainable at this time upon that point
There are said to be grave doubts
however, as to whether criminal
! prosecution could be successful.
Department of Justice officials ex-
pressed the belief that the two most
vulnerable points in the steel trusts
/ organization are the Great Northern
! Ore lease and it's ownership of the
il Tennessee Coal and Iron Company.
officials of the steel corporation evil
IDENTIFY recognized this, but govern
ment officials declared that the fact
that the corporations directors have
voted to abrogate the ore lease is of
no practical effect, because even so
the lease will not terminate until 1913.
1t has been reported too, that the
steel corporation was preparing to rid
itself of the Tennessee Coal and Iron
Company, but whether that is so or
not the Department of Justice has no
advices.
Department Of Justice officials re
gard the governments case as com
plete. If the case be fought through
the Supreme Court of the United
States, it is estimated that a final de-
cision might be had within two years.
The other great trust cases took much
longer. 1t is intimated that in this
case. with both sides anxious for a
verdict, many points might be stipu-
lated or agreed to for the purpose of
getting a decision quickly
Asks Sweeping Decree.
The government proceeding calls for
a decree that not only the United
States Steel Corporation, but every
element composing it. collectively and
individually, every constituent and
subsidiary company, is illegal, a mo

forget the mild outrage to which they
we're subjected because of the schem-

1t all happened about four years ago.
Milton walked into an attorneys Of

through sausage machine. His face
was despatched and he bore every
eyiden of having been in an awful
wreck. He was bandaged from head
to foot.
Claiming his brother had been
the victim of railroad negli-

case to first one attorney and
another, but always was particular
about securing the loan of little
money in anticipation of the claim,
This was readily given in every In

Several attorneys gave O'Neal money
to buy bandages, medicines, etc
O'Neal now acknowledges that he
has lost his old persuasive power
and has given UP his touch game. He
just blew into Keokuk yesterday with

Herbert Has Made Good.

Herbert is no stranger to Keokuk
fandom. He played here almost an en-
tire season and was considered one of
the headiest second basemen the Cen
trail Association has had for several
years. While Herbert has been IN
baseball for a number of years he still
has the agility Of youth and plays a
strong defensive game around the mid
way. He is sticker of no mean
ability
Herbert Is no untried OF unknown
quantity in the position of manager.
From Keokuk he went to Pekin, Hi
nois, breaking into the 1llinois-Mis-
soul league as manager. He displayed
cunning and Judgment in plotting the
Pekin team through the entire season
as a championship contender only to
have his hopes snuffed out In the last
| two weeks. Herbert picked up a mum

Herbert Nearly Managed Once
It is known that Herbert looks upor
a Keokuk berth with favor At the
time when Manager Belt resigned IL
1910, Herbert was the choice OF the
old directors, but Belt concluded thu
season under disorganized conditions
and Herbert was not given the oppor
tunity Of leading the Indians. Herber
sought the reins in 1911, but Belt wa
given the job for another year.

retained as a player last season, bu
