first clash between the house COM
mittee of inquiry into the United
States Steel corporation affairs and
the counselor of that combination, r.
v. Lindsbury, occurred yesterday

was under examination.
Representative Beall Of Texas ask
ed facetous questions as to the
"philanthropic" motives that actuated
the steel corporations acquisition of
the Tennessee Coal and Iron COM
pany. Attorney Lindsbury protested
and on his demand the question was
materially modified.
The committee again sought to
show that through the Gary dinners
the prices of steel products We're
maintained and competition curtailed
as effectively as they were prior to
tho steel corporations formation by
the gentlemen's agreements made
despite the Sherman antitrust law.
Much of the examination of Roberts
dealt with the more less academic
discussion of ]. p. Morgan's industrial

Washington, d. c., June 10.--Rep-
resetnative Warburton Of Washing
ton. newly elected Republican insur-
gent in the house of representatives
charged congress with letting mil
lions of dollars go to waste that it
might collect in international revenue
taxes on tobacco. He attacked the
pending wool tariff revision offered
by the Democrats, declaring that
their plea of needing revenue for
government treasury was not seri-
GUS argument for keeping high du-
ties on woolen goods.
"If the government would put a
reasonable tax on tobacco which may
be considered luxury" said War
burton" it could let in woolen goods.
cotton goods and sugar without any
tariff whatever. If this country tax
ed the tobacco as England or France
does we could close the doors of all
customs houses except as to importa-
ticns of liquors and tobaccos."
Warburton said the Democrats had
been afraid to reduce duties on wool
and further for fear of consequences
at the next election if the woolen in
dustry was prostrated by removal Of
protection. He said Democrats had
been compelled to adopt the Republi-
can doctrine of protection and excus-
ed themselves on the ground of need
ing revenue.
And in the meantime" said War
burton, "the American people are
paying six times as much tax to the
government on sugar as they are on
five cent cigars, twelve times as
much on sugar as on ten cent ci-
gars; thirty times as much on sugar
as on, twenty-five cent cigars; and
sixty times as much on sugar as on
fifty cent cigars. The rich man who
smokes thirty-five cent cigars pays
one and two-tenth cents tax on each
dollars worth of them; while his gar
dener who smokes five cent cigars
pays six cents tax on his dollars
worth; and his washer woman who
buys dollars worth of sugar pays
thirty-six cents tax on It.
