NINE INDICTMENTS
AGAINST WIRE TRUST.
Organization Exists In Restraint Of
Trade-It Is Closely Connected
With Steel Corporation.

NEW YORK, June SO.-Nine indict-
ments charging restraint of trade In
violation OF the Sherman antitrust
law were returnul by a federal grand
Jury here Yesterday afternoon against
as many associations and a long list OF
individuals comprising the so-called
wire trust" affiliated with the steel
industry. Prominent among the de-
PENDANTS are Herbert l.. Satterlee, =
son.in.law OF ]. Pierpont Morgan; viii
liam P. Palmer, president Of the
American Steel and Wire Company, q
subsidiary of the United States Steel
corporation, and Frank Jay Gould, ot
New York, president Of the Old Do
minion Iron and Nail Works Com
,pany.
What this suit charges" said Dis
trlct Attorney Wise, "is trade agree
ment In restraint OF trade" The gov
ernment does not seek to establish
a physical or fiscal merger OF the
properties or intersts indicted, but 9
series Of pools to maintain prices and
apportlon territory, in elimination ol
competition, and SO in violation ol
the Sherman act.
There is no Indication, however
that evidence gathered by the bureau
of corporations in its investigation o.
the steel corporation played any parl
In the indictments. Only two of the
indicted associations contain sub
sidiary companies Of the giant cor
poration, namely, the American Stee
and Wire Company and the Trenton
Iron Company.

WASHINGTON, June 3O.-Follow-
ing a meeting Of the House Commit
tee on Expenditures in the State de,
partment, at which the report of the
subcommittee on the Day portrait
scandal was adopted, Chairman Court
ney w. Hamlin, Democrat from Mis-
souri,, today gave out the following
signed statement to the United Press:
"The committee on expenditures in
the State department has adopted a
repert recommending the dismissal
for the good OF the service of Dis
bursfng Clerk Morrison of the State
department, and former Chief Clerk
Michael, now United Staes consul gen
eral at aClcutta. Both these officials
are to my mind directly concerned in
the misappropriation Of the $1,6OO un'
accounted for out Of the appropriation
Of $2,45O for the Day portrait. Both
ought to be dismissed at once. The
committee will resist any attempt on
the part of the State department to
make one of these two the 'scapegoat
for the affair. In my mind Michael Is
the more culpablo Of the two. If the
State department seeks to faste9 the
matter on Morrison alone, ! shall
bring the matter to the attention ol
the House" ~
The general opinion which the com
mittee members expressed was that
Morrison aided unwittingly because O
his incompetence. The committee
condemned the departmental practice
of signing vouchers in blank as mo-
only unbusinesslike but as an invita-
ton to wrong-dolng. The report wa
adopted without, rell, call ~

Bit of English Hunlor.

The night train vas approaching
Blackheath, outside of London, and
two Americans. ~unacquainted with
the locality. were in doubt as to the
station. One peered out through the
window into the unresponsive dark
ness and sank back Il his place. The
other did precisely the same.
rs it Blaekheath?" inquired the
first.
THE Lord only knows replied
the other in hopeless fashion.
A small, apologize, shrinking sort
of Englishman, sitting next spoke

the Almighty, permit me to say that

First ON the job.

Booth Harrington is known as a
teller of jokes as well as a writer of
delightful novels and plays.
While in a small town in Indiana a
few years ago he had the misfortune
10 lose two valuable bird dogs.
Thinking to expedite their return, he
went at once To the office of the one
newspaper in the town, where upon
his inquiring for the editor he was
Informed by the sleepy. tousle-headed
~ofice-boy that the editor was out.
He then left with the boy a descrip-
aion of his pets with an alluring offer
of fifty dollars for their return, and
after giving explicit instructions as to
the position he wished the lad" to
occupy, he departed.
Anxious to know whether the Of
flee boy had impressed the editor with
the seriousness of the matter, he re-
turned to the Office a few hours later
and was again greeted by the boy,
who, the only occupant of the room,
vas perehed on a stove dreamily
gazing out the window.
where's the editor?" asked Tar
kington.
The boy leaned over and spat out
the window, then slowly turned to
the author.
He's gone out tub hunt de dogs"
he said.--Cosmopolitan Magazine.

Religious Conversation.

Owen Seaman, editor of Punch,
was the principal guest at a dinner of
the London Authors club, which was
followed by a discussion on
"Humor.' The Pittsburg Chronicle
Telegraph says that Mr.. Seaman be-
gan with a story deprecating the
spelling of a good dinner by any dis
eussion at all.
There were three characters in
the story, a bluebottle and two
Seotchman. The story at once
struck a note of probability by show
ing the Scotchmen drinking whisky.
The b%ulebottle buzzed on the pane;
otherwise silence reigned.
This was broken by one of the
Scotchmen trying to locate the bule-
bottle with geological exactitude.
Said this Seotchman:
Sandy, | am thinking IL yon fly
is a birdie or a beaste."
The other replied: Man, don't
spoil good whisky with religious con-
yersation.'

Even As You and 1.

EVen AS GU anu i.
A fool there was and he went the
pace, even as you and |,
That leads to the Big House, and
leaves a trace.
That only time itself can deface,
But the fool never knew of the pain
and disgrace; even as you
and l.
And the years that were his by gift of
God, were thrown for a
week" to the slime;
Because he imagined he knew it all,
Ne'er counting the cost he must pay,
with the fall,
Meier counting the ravage of time.
A fool there was who lived to be
jolly; even as you and ],
Who used the banks kale to rag up
some Molly.
Bought birds and cold bottles, to
please little Dolly;
He thought he was wfse-now he
knows the folly; even as you
and l..
And the faith he lost, and the paying
the cost, it hurts him a little
tonight,
Because all the Mollys and Dollys
galore,
Quit him quite cold when he hit the
Jail door;
They left him alone to the fight.
A fool was stripped and put into
checks; even you and J.,
"The game doesn't pay" with this
truth he connects,
When he sees clearly the after
effects,
As he gaze around at other pace
wrecks; even you and 1.
o, 1t isn't the shame of the game, or
the blame
That stings like an iron at red-heat.
It's coming to know hat all friend
ship is frail,
When a fellow sinks down, and he
hasn't the kale,
And you go down alone in defeat.

The Call of Nature.


We have donned the toys that are ole
and worn,
And we've thrown our cares away
For we heard the call of the wilds
this morn,
And we're off at the break of day.
We have smelled the odor of spruce
and pine,
Where the winds blow cool and
sweet,
And We known a stream where the
fishing's fine,
That has lured our restless feet.
We're off where the blue of the
azure skies
Dips down to the mountains brim:
There's an eager look in our tired
eyes.
As we scale the canyons rim;
And our hearts beat light on the
rocky trail.
As we gaze toward the far-off
shore,
Where We catch the CLEAN of a dis
tant sail,
On the rolling sea once more.
We're out in the open Of Gods big
world,
Where the white peaks pierce the
sky,
And the canyon eddies are tossed and
whirled,
AS the stream goes brawling by.
We have left behind us the office
walls.
With the dim and the constant
roar,
And only the voice of the mountain
calls:
Come back to my trails once
morel"
We will pitch our camp near the can
yon stream,
Where the night winds Groom a
song;
And We'll smoke our pipes In the
campfire's CLEAN,
Till the waning hours grow long.
And then In our blanket beds Wen
dose.
And browse TO a dreamy rest,
Secure and safe In a sweet repose
On the old ear,.. ) kindly breast.
