PROMINENT MEN
ARE MENTIONED
New York Grand Jury IndlCts
Wire Trust Officials.

New York, June 30.--Nine indict-
ments charging restraint OF trade in
violation of the Sherman antitrust
law were returned by federal grand
jury here against as many associa-
tions and a long list of individuals

of j. Pierpont Morgan; William P.
Palmer, president of the American
Steel and Wire company, subsidiary

SENATOR KENYON
SAYS PERJURY
Intimates Prosecutions May Re-
suit From LOTimeT Case.
EDWARD HINES ON THE STAND
Chicago Lumber Magnate contradicts
Evidence Given by Witnesses
Who Preceded Him.

Washington, June S0.-Intimations
that prosecution for perjury may grow
out of the testimony of certain wit
nesses before the senate committee in
yestigating Senator Lorimer's election
and the declaration of Edward Hines
of Chicago that Clarence s. Funk, gen.
eral manager of the International Har-
vester company, far from being asked
to contribute, had volunteered to help
defray Senator forimer's election ex-
penses startled the committee.
Senator Kenyon of Iowa stirred up
the talk of perjury prosecution after
Mr.: Hines had contradicted several
previous witnesses, but it remained
for Mr.. Hines to spring the real sur
prise of the day with his new version
of the famous conversation with the
international Harvester company Off
cial
In telling his story of that much
discussed talk with Clarence S. Funk
at the Union League club at Chicago
Mr.. Hines said he was sitting in the
club with Fred Carney of Marinette,
Wis, Charles Hall of Sault Ste. Marie
and Isaac Baker Of Chicago. Mr.. Funk
approached and shook hands. The
witness continued
'He (Funk) said, Il am very glad to
hear of Mr.. Lorimer's election to the
Sapata, caid voc olo a RI baar hin,
say so. He said, I would like much
to have you arrange TO introduce me
to Senator Lorimer. / have never met
him.
Would Like to Contribute.
"Then we walked over toward the
entrance of the club and he said: i
understand the senator must have
been put to more or less expense for
this senatorship and he ought not to
stand it. The business interests ought
to take it off his hands. We would
like to contribute
II said: L do not know anything
about that. / will see about it and
let you know"
All day Mr. Hines was On the stand
and his examination was not conclud-
ed when the committee adjourned. His
first testimony that attracted deep in
terest was his detailed account of how
he said President Taft, former Sena-
tor Aldrich and Senator Penrose had
him exert his influence to have Mr..
Lorimer elected to the senate.
Hines said he never went to Mr.
Funk's Office to muddle his memory
respecting the Union league converse
ton following the publication on Feb
Is last of the Chicago Record Herald
editorial charging that Lorimer fund
OF 100000 had been raised
Hines further denied the testimony
OF Writ II. Cook of Duluth that he
(Hines) had said over the telephone
in talking with Springfield on the eve
Of Lorimer's election, that he would
be down on the next train prepared to
furnish all the money required.

PARTIAL REPORT
ON STEEL TRUST
Findings Of Herbert Knox Smith
Are Made Public.
MAKES NO recommendations
Declares Restriction OF Competition
Was Prime Object In Organize.
ton Of steel Corporation.

Washington, July 1.-The long ex-
pected and much discussed report
from the bureau of corporations on the
United States Steel corporation. re-
Gently submitted to President Taft.
was made public here.
Signed by Herbert Knox Smith, COM
missioner of corporations, the report
makes no recommendations and is al
most wholly narrative in form.
Mr. Smith declares that restriction
OF competition was prime object Of
the organization of the steel corpora
ton, or so called trust"
Capitalized at $1,402, 100000 the cor
poration, he asserts, had tangible
property worth only $682,000,000. BY
constant reinvestment of earnings,
however, the report points out, much
of the water in the company has
been eliminated.
The steel corporation now owns 20
per cent OF the lake ores, having re-
Gently concentrated its efforts to Sc
curing these properties On this point
the report says:
Indeed, In so far as the steel cor
poration's position In entire iron and
steel industries is OF monopolistic
character. 1t is chiefly through its con-
troll OF ore holdings and the transpor-
tation of ore"
In his letter of submittal to the
president the commissioner covers in
condensed style practically every fea-
ture of the report.
The principal features OF Commits
sioner Smiths report on the steel in
dustry are:
Features Of the Report.
The marked development of consoli-
dalton, eliminating in the organization
OF the United States Steel corporation.
capitalization by the United States
Steel corporation far in excess of
property values. The bureaus valua-
ton OF the tangible assets In 1901 is
$6S2,000,000. as against $780, 100000
OF issued securities.
An analysis of the cost OF the sub
sequent additions to the property OF
the corporation, showing total in
vestment In tangible property on Dec.
81. 1910. OF $l.1S7 100000, as against
$l.46S.0 100000 outstanding securities.
An average rate of profit from 1901
to 1910 On the corporations actual in
vestment, as computed by the bureau,
of IL per cent.
An almost continuous decrease In
the corporations proportion of the
output OF principal steel products, but
marked increase in its ownership or
control OF iron ore deposits.
The bureau places the value of the
ore reserves of the corporation at
$100,000,000, while the corporation
itself places their value at 500, O0O,-
600.
TO prevent ore from falling into the
hands OF independent producers or to
prevent the Hill interests from found
ing rival steel business the corpora
tion granted to the Great Northern
road the Hill leases which guarantee
the largest royalties ever known In
the ore business.
The corporation controls 75 per cent
OF the available ore and because OF

tation facilities In tho ore district oc-

class sphere. Adam had been bossing
and bluffing around for we don't know
how many years, and when Eve came
he began to boss her. Right there was
the chance of woman's lifetime, but
Eve wasn't the female to see and seize
1t. If she had been there wouldn't
have been centuries of slavery for her
sex. If she had got her hands into
Adams hair the first time he began to
bluff he'd have been the one to rock
Cain and Abel in their cradles. Eve
was meek. She didn't want any row
around the house. She couldn't speak
very good English, and she hadn't
words to fit occasions, as the new
woman has.
And then Cain saw how easy 1t was
to bulldoze a wife, and he got married
and bulldozed his, and Abel followed
suit. We read of the good and wise
prophets. but we don't read of their
wives. Woman's place at that era
was behind the door, She was not
considered the equal of the mule. She
worked in the field with the ass and
the OK, and instead Of sitting down to
meals with her husband she took her
lunch on the icebox. For a thousand
years after Eve had come and gone
the family cat was considered Of more
consequence than woman.
Come down to the days of the Ro-
man empire. A few women had got
ahead of the game, but the great.
mass were still in a state Of slavery
Man, the boss, had only to point his
finger and they hiked. In all the Ro-
man empire there were not 500 wo-
men who dared get up In the morn
ing and predict the weather for the
day. IL one had been caught with q
fashion book in her possession she
would have received the lash. 1t
seems queer In these days, when the.
new woman can. sit with her feet up
and read faJhion books and magazines
all day, that there was ever a time
when they were tied up and dashed,
but so 1t was. and they took 1t as hum
bly, as kittens. If woman in Egypt
had dared come to the kitchen door
and call out to her husband in the
back yard, "Joe, grub is ready" she
would have been put to death for her
impudence.
Meek Mates Of the Ancients.
There was Mrs. Diogenes. Ever
hear anything about her? No, Of
course not. While he was sitting
around in his tub and making a great
bluff to the public she was hoeing In
the gart IN at home or withdrawing
the cellar. The new woman calls her
husband Pete or Joe or Tom. Have
you any idea that the wife Of the old
tubite ever dared to address him as
Diog?
There was a Mrs. Pliny and Mrs.
Plato They were on high plane for
their sex. but they had to mind their
p's and as. and don't you forget it.
Let the old boss find a button missing
from his trousers and there'd be hail
Columbia around the house and no
talking back.
4 date the beginning Of the new
woman with I.ucrezia Borgia. Shewas
way up In the world for a woman, but
abs felt longing for further freedom.
