SUIT AGAINST
STEEL TRUST
Department of Iustics to
Start Criminal Action.

Washington, June Tt is apparent
now that the department of Justice Is
seriously considering the possibility Of
moving against the United States Steel
corporation as a combination In vfO-
lation of the Sherman antitrust law.
Reports are In circulation that officials
Of the department already have de-
ternined upon such action, but these
reports lack confirmation and the
general impression Is that the author1-
ties Of the department Of Justice are
still engaged in going over the evil
dence that has been gathered in an
investigation of the steel corporation.
One Washington paper, not given to
sensationaIism, publishes the fat state
ment that an attack soon would be
made by the government upon the so
called steel trust. This statement Is
attributed to Trustworthy information
high enough to warrant credibility.".
When Solicitor General Lehman, who
has charge of the steel trust investiga-
ton for the department of justice. was
questioned on the report, he said he
could not talk about 1t, and other Off.
cials declined either to confirm or deny
1t. 1t is known, however, that Herbert
Knox Smith, the commissioner of corr
porations, has been urgcd to hurry his
report on the steel corporation. The
belief Is hat Commissioner Smith's
report will be unfavorable In many
respects for the corporation. \

This is probably the most
unique of all the portraits Of
George Washington. 1t was paint

country was president, by William

for the Masonic lodge at Alexan-

his country" was a charter mem
ber, and to which he belonged un-
til his death.
The little Virginia lodge has
been proud of this picture, for II
is the only one of Washington
showing him wearing the MASONIC
dress. He had worn the same out
fit when he laid the cornerstone
of the capitol at Washington Sept.
IS, 1913. Around his neck Is
suspended a masters collar and
jewel, across the shoulder a sash
of Masonic blue and the apron OF
the craft.
For more than century that
lodge handed the picture down
from generation to generation
They would allow no copies to be

(By United Press Leased Wire
CHICAGO, Feb. 22.-By ignor-

George B. Cox of Cincinnati on
perjury charges, Col. Theodore
Roosevelt disappointed many of
his hearers at the Auditorium to-

largely to the popular election of

"It is absurd" said Roosevelt,

TAFT WOULD
LEAVE t
To )APS
PROPOSED TREATY OMITS I'M
MIGRATION RESTRICTIONS
AND LEAVES 1T TO THE
HONOR OF JAPAN.
(By United Press Leased Wire.

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. %.
Why President Taft supported
San Francisco for the 1915 fair
is seen here today by the legisla-
tors in his sudden submission to
the senate of his proposed treaty
with Japan.
The essential difference be-
tween the proposed treaty and the
existing one is that it omits all
reference to all such restrictions
and leaves to the national honor
of Japan the enforcement at her
own ports of the limitations upon
emigration from Japan now ex-
pressly placed upon immigration
into the United States.
The presidents elimination of
the immigration clause and the
other concessions to Japan includ-
ed in the proposed convention, de-
tails of which are published to-
day, are explained by the presi-
dents idea that he and congress
have put California under bond to
"keep the peace" until 1915, ac-
cording to many congressman.
Enlarging on this idea, one
member of the cabinet said today:
"If California intends to hold
an exposition in 1915, she must
aid in keeping international erla-
tions as cordial as possible. And
it will be especially important to
cause no break with Japan"
Discussion of the proposed
treaty here today overtops even
that of the Canadian reciprocity,
and Pacific coast members of con-
gress make no secret of the fact
that they are bitterly opposed to
some Of it's provisions.
