GATES TELLS TRUST SECRETS

John w. Gates furnished the open
ing sensation in the investigation
when he revealed the history of the
United States Steel corporation. Pres
ent at the birth of the greatest steel
manufacturing concern in the world,
he described how it was the natural
outcome of what he described as the
refusal of Andrew Carnegie to be
bound by the "gentlemen's agree
ments" that marked the early day of
open competition in the steel bust
ness.
He told of millions lost and created
almost in breath; how the Carnegie
mills, appraised at $160,000,O00, were
recognized as worth $320,O00,000; the
grim clash In the formative days,
when John d. Rockefeller was dis
suaded from joining in the creation
of the corporation, and the manner in
which others were prevented from
engaging in the steel trade.

STEAL MONEY
FROM CHURCH
Thief Enters Holy Trinity
EdifiCe--Gets S25.

A thief looted three brass col!ec-
ton boxes in the Holy Trinity Sloyak
R. c. church at 500 Penn street Sat
urday night and secured about $25
in cash. 1t is believed the thief
first attended the Saturday night
service from 8 to 9 o'clock in the
church and then hid in n of the
pews. 1t appears that when the edt-
fee had been vacated and closed Tor
the night the robber went to the
altar and took the money from the
three brass boxes. He made his exit
through a window at the side, near
the rear of the church building.
The robbery was first discovered
yesterday by the caretaker of the
premises. Upon approaching the
building he noticed a window was
open and a hasty investigation re-
vealed the robbery. The matter was
reported to the trustees of the church
and John Seamen notified the police
who are now at work on the case.
The boxes robbed contained, re-
spectively, about S12, $40 and So.
Few clues we're found, but heads
of the institution have fastened sus-
picton on someone. Aided by the

Paris, Seut. 18:-It is quite pos
sible that the marriage of Nine.
Games and Emilio de Gorgoza may
be declared null by the Catholic
church, is the statement made by the
archdeacon representing Mgr. Am
cite, archbishop of Paris, during the
latter's absence. when the
Eames-Gorgoza marriage was soIem-
nized here at St. Pierre de Chaillot
we were given to understand that NJ.
Gorgoza had never been legally mar
ried before. We have now, however,
received information to the effect
that he went through a marriage
ceremony, and if this is correct the
question is whether 1t was a civil
or a religious marriage. IF the
ceremony was a religious one his
marriage with Nine. Eames would at
ace be annulled; If civil, it will be
a matter for the careful decision of
the holy office"
