FIR. SMITH TO
 LECTURE BEFORE
 HOLY NAME SOCIETY

No state in the union compares with California in not only the beau- ties of nature but in the interest of her settlement and growth. There are all manner of contrasting and unlikely things, snow-capped noun tains and stretches of land below sea Ieved; Death Valley and the Yose- mite; the largest and oldest trees in the world and the newest creations of the Wizard Burbank; orange groves, flowers that never fade; val leys whose output of wheat rivals Minnesota and the Canadian North west, and plains dotted with tens of thousands of cattle which suggest Texas
 The history of California in it's TO- nance is fully in keeping with it's natural wonders It was part of the early Spanish conauests and has it's civilization planted in toll and tears nourished with prayer and blood, when the Puritans were building up on the Atlantic coast their little set dement's. California has also a later history of discovery and conques, when the pioneers of '49 made it a land teemins with gold and other products, such as we now know it.
 The sweet yet tragic story of it's and shown in views of it's old mis- siors on Sunday night, June 4th, by the Rev. Err Smith of the Paulist Order, at St. Mary's hall, under the auspices of the Holy Name Society of St. Mary's church. This meeting is free to the members of the society and their men friends. and is given to stimulate interest in the Holy Name society.
 Fr. Smith lived on the Pacific Coast for many years, visited it's missions prayed in it's shrines and comes to ms II share hn cr-io impressions of those olden days when Spanish heroism made such a pic- turesuue background for its present developm ent.
 Fr. Smith will preach at all masses in St. Mary'S- Sunday

Gary, boss of the Steel trust, on the stand before the Stanley Steel Investigation committee.
 Gary explained the aims and ob jects of the American Iron and Steel Institute, which he declared was orig fnally formed to prevent competition and price cutting, and to maintain business equilibrium in the steel in- dustry
 Following the visit here of several foreign manufacturers, Gary said, the Brussels meeting was called. "At that meeting,' continued Gary, it will be suggested, unless I am con- vinced that it would be legally or nor ally wrong, that the steel makers of the world form an association similar to the American Iron and Steel Insti- tute.''
 What will this proposed interna- tional association do besides prevent ing 'ruinous price fluctuations de- manded Stanley
 ''It will discuss moral, ethical and sociological questions connected with the making of iron and steel" said Gary.

Tax On Wool To
 Protect Growers
 Says w. ). Bryan
(Se ecial from United Press. )


 Minneapolis, June 2-"The Demo- crats in Congress are responsible to the country and to their constituents and it remains to be seen whether their action will be endorsed" today, de- clared William Jennings Bryan, dis cussing the action of the Democratic caucus on the wool schedule.
 "The amount raised by the tax on wool could be raised by a tax on raw silk Or raw rubber with more justice.
 ''The tax on wool would never be thought of but for the protective ben- eft it is supposed to bring to wool growers. I think the party would have done better if it had honestly stated it's reasons and declared for pro- lection to that extent. The declaration that this is not a surrender of free .swool is adding insult to injury, and was surprised that any advocates of free wool accepted it as a reason for endorsing the committee bill."

CREENSTE|N IS ALLOWED
 S53O FROM CITY FOR HIS
 SUNDAY LIQUOR WARRANTS
Gets SID Each For Signing His Name to 5
 Slips of Paper
Judge Foster Declares That Court Must Make Full Award Pro- secutor, Having Discretionary Powers Under
 the Statutes

Five hundred and thirty dollars is the sum that Prosecuting Liquor Agent Henry Greenstein drags down from the City of Bridgeport for the equivalent of about ten minutes work in elementary penmanship. according to the decision of Judge Carl Foster of the city court this morning, in al lowing Agent Greenstein fees of S10 a case for the 5s cases of liquor law ago Monday.
 Judge Foster declares that according to the statutes he has no choice but to make this award to Greenstein. He says:
 "The court has no discretion in these cases. It must follow the laws made by the Legislature, whether 1t believes such laws to be wise or unwise."
 Accordingly. MT. Greenstein will re- ceive his s53O from the funds of the city court. The work which he per- formed to warrant this payment, con- sisted practically in making out 53 warrants. The police department, Bridgeport, did all the road work. made all the arrests. and secured all the evidence. There was practically no work for Greenstein to do in the city court. as the evidence in the cases went before the court by agree ment on facts.
 Judge Fosters decision, in which he finds that the City of Bridgeport owes Mir. Greenstein s5c0 for his laborious duties in this connection is as follows:
 On the 22nd day of May 1911, the said Paul Nickerson and 52 others were prosecuted before this court for violation of the liquor laws of this State and on an agreed statement of facts were found guilty and sentence was duly passed by the court. From such conviction each of the accused has appealed to the Court of Common Pleas The prosecuting agent claims fee of $10 in each case, amounting in the whole to $530 and bases his claim on Section 4sa3 of the General Statutes which is as follows: .
 Prosecuting agents shall receive for each day of actual employment in conducting hea-,r- rv>e-.~-herges be-s fore county commissioners five doIs lars; for each case of prosecution of

 ''We haven't controlled the price of steel and we can't control the price of steel. We haven't done more In this direction because we couldn't do more. I have never believed in fixed prices nor in changing prices by com mon consent. But neither do I be- lieve -n fixing prices by a rufnous competition. It is much better for both producer and consumer to have a stability of price,
 Gary said that, in .fluctuating mar ket, the uncertainty of prices made the condition bad for both buyer and seller
