Gary, chairman of the United Steel
trust company directorate, told the
Stanley steel trust investigating COM
mittee that his corporation stood be-
hind j. Pierpont Morgan in averting

He insisted, challenging the state
ments of John w. Gates before the
committee, that the purchase by the
steel corporation of the Tennessee
Coal and Iron company at that time
was made at the price more than it
was worth, for the express purpose of
preventing the crash of the New York
banking firm of Moore & Schley.
Mr.. Gary related a dramatic story OF
the momentous events with which he
presided at the absorption of the Ten
nessee concern. He described in de,
tail how he and Henry c. Frick at the

the plan of buying the company at @
price greater than its value to Presi
dent Roosevelt and Mr.. Root, ther
secretary of state. He told how he
had concluded after their interview

Lincoln, June 2.-For his work in
the Dan O'Reilly case in New York
City, Emory Buckner, son of Rev. and
Mrs. ]. ID. M. Buckner of University

from eminent legal authorities in that

university and who, while student
here, was manager of the football
team, has been assistant district at
torney of the federal service for some
time past and in the O'Reilly case sue
ceeded in securing a conviction of the
defendant for various criminal prac-
tees. Excerpts from the New York
Evening Mail tell the following rela-
tive to the Nebraskans part in the
trial
1t was Buckner who wrote the trial
brief on both the law and the facts in
the Original suit against the Sugar
trust. He also presented a large part

And so well was his work performed
chat a verdict of $4,000 was brought
in against the trust. 1t is also con-
coded that the result of this trial led
to the settlement by the Sugar trust
of all other civil claims, amounting to
upward of 100000.
Following this successful work as
an assistant district attorney in the
federal service, Mr.. Whitman sent for
