Editors Have Contest
Over Meeting Place
Omaha Boosters in Rivalry with Rich
mond, and Council Will Decide
Location Later.

DETROIT, Mich, July H.-(Special Tele-
gram. THE place OF holding the next con-
vention of the National Editorial associa-
ton, which adjourned here today after a
three days session, was referred TO the
national council, a body created in the re-
organization Of the association. The refer
ence followed a stiff scrimmage. Though
a dozen cities were after the convention,
the fight narrowed down to Omaha and
Richmond, Va. The action of the conven-
ton is considered a victory for the west
ern city.
Buffalo, New York City, Omaha, Atlantic
City, Chattanooga, St. Louis, Chicago and
Portland were after the convention. Rich
mond, Omaha and Buffalo had personal
representatives here, who urged the ad-
vantages of their cities on the floor of the
convention.
Earlier in the day the Richmond delega-
ton tried to steal a march by advancing
the time for settling the place from the
afternoon session to the morning session
The Richmond delegates packed the house
while the Omaha boosters were absent
But the Omaha leaders blocked the plans
and got the question referred, taking tbs
matter OF selecting the place from the con.
vention.

named were; First vice president, A. d

WASHINGTON, July p. - The United

oily Of the ores Of the American continent

ent concerns according to Chairman Stan
ley Of the house steel trust investigating
committee at today's hearing.
Mr.. Stanley made the admission that he
had discovered from his own investiga-
ton that the United States Steel corpora
ton has no monopoly of coking coal but
told Richard Lindabury, counsel for the
steel corporation that IL he could say the
same OF the ore and transportation ia
cilities controlled by the trust he would
frankly do so.

"Our finance committee has been in close
touch with this matter all the time. We
have been in frequent and almost constant
communication with Commissioner Gar
field and more or less with the president
himself, concerning these matters. Up to
date they have made no complaint OF US
whatever, but we do not know any better
than you do what may be the future. We
are trying to be frank and accommodating
to the department and we suppose we have
an understanding that we will not be I'M
necessarily injured and that we will not
wrongfuly be charged without having an
| opportunity to show the facts"
Mr.. Smith said he knew nothing about
this matter.
Representative Gardner of Massachu-
sets Crep.), asked IL Mr.. Stanley meant
| to imply that President Roosevelt and
| Commissioner Garfield had been In col.

seemly activity" of the steel trust.
Tells of Open Hearth system.
