MORE TIME ASKED
BY STEEL TRUST
Attorneys Need Another
Month to Reply to Suit.

New York, Dec. 3.-Lawyers for the
United States Steel Corporation will ask
the Federal court at Trenton, n. j., to-
morrow for more time in which to reply
TO the dissolution suit recently brought
by the government. Tomorrow will be
the last day of the period originally fixed
for the reply to be filed, but the lawyers
will insist that they have been unable to
frame their response in the allotted time.
The attorneys will put in a formal ap-
pearance, by proxy, for John D. Rookie
fCller, ]. PierpOnt Morgan, and the other
millionaire defendants, but the magnates
Z will not be in court.
Owing to the gigantic work of pre-
raring the steel trusts defense, it Is ex-
pected by the trusts attorneys that the
court will grant delay of at least
month.
Ever since the governments action was
started the steel trusts lawyers have
been hard at work drawing up the formal
reply. One point to be taken up in the
reply is that the steel trust has never
had a monopoly of the steel industry, as
alleged by the government, and that it
has not tried to restrain competition.
What the trust will say as to that Is
indicated in the testimony before the
Stanley investigating committee, last
summer, of Judge Z. H. Gary, head of
the steel corporation. At that time Judge
Gary said:
There has been, a disposition on our
Part to keep away from any, possible
monopoly of any line Of business. Our
stockholders have criticised us for letting
competitors increase their business fast
or than we have increased ours.
I'VE have never suggested an increase
in prices. We have avoided any action
tending to drive competitors out of busi-
ness. Our prices, except for rails, have
never been the same. They fluctuate.
We are all left free to go and get what
business We can. We have never said,
never intimated an intention to keep
Hrlces where they are. We wanted honor
able competition. The business was open
to all"

GODFREY HUNTER
JOINS THE THRONG
Former Kentucky RepubIi-
can Leader at Capital.

a tall. bearded. kindly-faced man came
into the Willard lobby yesterday, and
Capt. William F'itzhugh cambridge, Of
Frankfort. pointed him out with the re-
mark: THAT is DR.. w Godfrey Hunter.
and the really great Republican leader Of
Kentucky He served in Congress several
terms, was minister to Guatemala, and
ought to have been the Republican Sem
ator when Deboe was chosen"
Then Dr. Hunter Joined the group, and
there was a general discussion of Ken
lucky politics, with the suggestion by
DIR. Hunters home friends that he re-
main young enough and active enough
TO take a hand in future Kentucky affairs
1t was recalled too, that DR.. Hunter was
the actual Mckinley manager in the State
prior to the 1895 convention.
When Mark Hanna began operations
two years in advance for the nomination
of Mckinley the Kentucky Republicans
were inclined to name another Presiden-
tial candidate. DR.. Hunter was asked to
put on velvet slippers and get busy for
the Ohio man, and his efforts resulted
in giving to Mckinley the delegation. All
this is not forgotten by Republicans of the
present national organization, and the
presence of DR.. Hunter in Washington at
the outset of the coming campaign has
given rise to some speculate and even
predictions among Kentucky Republicans
who are trifle tired of telling why it did
not happen their way in the State last
month.

REPORT ON TARIFF
is EXPECTED SOON
CrOscup's History Gives VAL
liable Facts Concerning
Our Duty System.
What do you know about the tariff?

What do you know about the tariff?
Wouldn't it be a fine thing to be we'll
posted on this tariff question when every
one is talking about it?
The answer is: Get Croscup's United
States History and Synchronic Chart
which The Herald is now offering prac-
tically free to its readers. 1t is just the
thing for the busy man or woman who
wants to get information on great public
questions, and get it in hurry.
Take the wool tariff, for instance. Did
you know that 1t is just 100 years ago
that we began talking about the wool
tariff? We are talking yet
Croscup,s History tells at a glance that
1t was the war tariff of 1872 that caused
the building up of manufactures of wool
ems, cottons, and other commodities. In
few pages we can follow just what has
happened to wool since then.
Did you ever hear of the tariff of
abomination?" 1t was passed in 1872.
Among other things it provided for espe-
cially heavy duties on wool and cotton.
The bill was the result of political job
berry, but 1t was passed-abomination
and all. It's an interesting story.
Then came the reaction toward free
trade from 1882 to 1860. when some raw
woods were let in free but cotton was left
unchanged. After the civil war the
Wool Growers Association and the Wool
Manufacturers Association met at SYRIA

Some one remarked to him that but
for the little accident in 1890, when he
dropped out term, that he would have
been the father of the House, instead of
Gen. Bingham. Uncle Joe owned up to
thirty-nine years of actual service,

And now, about Gen. Bingham" COM
mented Mr.. Cannon. Every two years
there is talk of retiring him and every
two years he comes back as If sent for.

INSULAR NEEDS
TOLD In REPORT
Gen. Edwards Deals with the
Philippines.

Legislation which will permit the ag-
ricultural and industrial development of
the Philippines to go forward on a more
liberal scale than heretofore is ths
greatest present need of the islands, ac-
cOrding to the annual report of Brig.
Gen. Clarence r. Edwards, Chief of the
Bureau of Insular Affairs, of the War
Department.
Gen. Edwards urges that the limit OF
the amount of land which can be home
steaded be increased from 39.5 acres to
123-5 acres; the increase of the amount
of land that can be sold to an inviduaI
to 1855 acres, and that free title be

five years and cultivated them for three
years prior to filing petition for title.
Legal permission of the filing Of moro

Citizenship for the Porto Ricans, Gen.
Edwards declares, is much to be desired,

COL GRAIN HERE
FROM BALTIMORE
Working to Secure COnVen'
tiOn for His City.

Robert Grain. of Baltimore, a distin.
guished Democrat of Maryland, who does
not want Office, is chairman of a COM
mittee organized to locate the next Demo-
cratic national convention at Baltimore
Col Grain was in Washington yester-
day, meeting several Democrats from
many States. He insisted that 1t was
Baltimore's turn to have a national con-
vention, and recalled some famous con-
ventions of the past, which named
Democrats for President and Vice Presi-
dent, who were elected. Col. Grain did not
fail to add that having a national con-
vention at Baltimore would be a good
thing for Washington, especially If Con-
gress remains in session through the
convention period.
OF course, it is a bit annoying to a
good Democrat like Col. Grain to have
some reference made to the recent cleo
tion of a Republican governor in Mary
land, but he does not think that sort of
an accident which has happened twice in
sixty years ought to operate against the
selection of Baltimore as the Demo-
cratic convention city.

LITTLE COMMENT
ON LEGISLATION
Plans for the Presidency En-
gross Attention.

No one is paying any attention to the
legislative programme of the session. The
go neral impression seems to be that the
leaders of both parties will be SO busy
laying their plans for the Presidential
campaign that il will be impossible to
focus the attention of either House on
matters of legislation.
1t is conceded, of course, that the Presi-
dents message on the trusts will be fol-
Lowed by extended debate on this subject.
Doubt is expressed that any affirmative
action will follow. Both Democrats and
Republicans seem to be up in the air on
the tariff. The Republicans will make
every effort, judging from statements
heard here Yesterday, to sidetrack the
tariff as an issue in the campaign. They
would prefer to make the regulation of
corporations the paramount issue" They
believe that the administration has
fine record in going after the trusts. but
express fears if the tariff is pushed for
ward as the real issue of the campaign
of 1912. They are not hopeful of subOrdi-
mating the tariff, but will do the best
they can in this regard.

WILSON DELEGATES
FROM MICHIGAN
Democratic Congressman an
Makes a Prediction.

Count Michigan, with twenty-eight
delegates in the Democratic national con-
Vention, for Woodrow Wilson, of New
Jersey" was the preliminary prediction
put forth by Edwin F. Sweet, one of the
two Democratic members of the House
from Michigan, when he arrived in
Washington yesterday
Wilson, more than any other Demo-
crat mentioned for President, has a hold
upon our Michigan Democracy. If. as
seems apparent now, President Taft is
to be the Republican candidate, Wilson
will receive many Republican votes in
Michigan, and, for that matter, in many
other States.
OF course, We have many admirers of
Champ Clark in the State and Gov. Har-
mon, of Ohio, ranks next to Wilson in
the esteem of Michigan Democrats.
Harmon has been in rather close touch
with citizens of our State, both Repub-
lcanS and Democrats, because of his
connection with the Marquette Railway
as receiver, and also he has long had a
summer home at CharleVoiX. He has
not lost sight Of his friendships in Michi-
gan, nor have his managers but l must
contend that at this time Wilson Is in the
lead. The New Jersey governor has long
had Presidential headquarters in Detroit
with a discerning young man named
Aldrich Blake in charge. Blake is from
Grand Rapids. my home town, and has
been vigorously pushing the Wilson cause
for some time back. Indeed more real
open political work has been done for
Wilson up to date than for any other
Democratic candidate"
And what can you promise Wilson in
Michigan even if he is nominated?" was
asked Of Representative Sweet.
We'll, we made a good Democratic
showing last year" said Sweet, and we
ought to do even better a year hence.
We elected two Democratic members OF
the House in Republican districts. Dore-
mus. in Detroit, and myself. There is
hope for gaining other districts next
year. and the State itself is not hope
less"
The Michigan member of the Demo-
cratic National Committee is Edwin o.
Mood, of Flint, and he will soon be in
Washington to look over the national
ituatiOn.

JUDGE RUSSELL ACTIVE.
Candidate in Georgia Is Breaking
Speech-makinE Records.

Speech making Records.
Judge Richard B. Russell, candidate
| for gubernatoriaI honors, has broken
Georgia campaigning records by deliver
ing an even six speeches in Meriwether
County in less than twice that many
hours.
Up to date, supporters of the Judge
say, honors for rapid speaking have
| been even between T. Roosevelt and
President Taft. But when Judge Rus
sell finished his half dozen addresses he
put these other notables completely in
the shade, they say.
The judge opened his record-breaking
day at Haralson, a thriving Meriwether
town, swung over to LuthersviIle and
whooped 'em up a bit, Travelled on next
to Greenville to tell them how he stands,
jumped thence to Gay for a heart-to-
heart talk with the inhabitants. gave a
good imitation of a young Kansas cy-
clone going into and out of OdessadaIe
and wound up the most strenuous day
OF his strenuous career at Woodbury.
After his tour of Meriwether, the Judge
swung round in the direction of home
and addressed the voters of Bibb. At
his headquarters It is stated that
the judges followers in the Central City
have been requesting him to address
them for some time past, but up to the
present his time has been completely
filled with engagements made weeks in
advance.
Reports from Bibb, it is said, are TO
the effect that the judge has a very
strong following, both in Macon and the
county generally.
Judge Russell has a brother in the
Navy Department, Robert L. Russell, a
captain and judge advocate general IN
the navy. He is vice president of the
Reform Prison Commission.

OHIO REPUBLICANS
SAID TO FAVO 0 R.
Mr.. ROOSEVELT
State Chairman Brown Makes
Declaration.
COMPLICATES SITUATION

Walter Brown, of Toledo, chairman
of the Republican State committee of
Ohio, has come out in a public declara-
ton that Roosevelt is the first choice
for President of majority of Ohio Re-
publicans. While it is probable that
this statement is due to the fact that the
President has been unable to comply
with all of Mr.. Browns recommenda-
tions and suggestions, its disquieting
effect upon the Republican political sit
uation is fully recognized.
UTTERANCE REGRETTED.
Mr.. Browns announcement was the
principal theme of conversation among
the politicians yesterday. The friends of
the administration openly expressed their
regret at the utterance. There had been
no previous indication from Mr.. Brown
as to his hostility to the President. No
effort will be made, however, to dispIace
him, inasmuch as such action would only
add to the cOmplexity of the Ohio situa-
ton.
The declaration is said to be a sequal
10 lile recent IlnclllIldll election. AlT.
Brown is a friend of George b. Cox.
the Republican boss, and when his ticket
was defeated the Cincinnati Times-Star,
owned by Charles p. Taft, the President S
brother demanded that Cox's lieutenants
be retired from the local Republican
Club in Hamilton County in the interest
of party success. In the club election,
however, COX'S followers were more for
tunate than they had been on the city
election, and won out over the c. P.
Taft element. There is apprehension
among Ohio politicians here that Chair
man Browns statement for Roosevelt
may have a deeper significance than the
mere reflection of his personal views. 1t
may be the signal for a Statewide fight
by the Presidents enemies against his
denomination.
Frequently at White House.
Chairman Brown has been a frequent
visitor at the White House under the
present administration. His statement
in regard to Roosevelt sentiment seems
to bear out what politicians have been
hearing in Washington for the last few
weeks, that there is a dangerous un-
deTcurrent against President Taft in
Northern Ohio. The two leading Re
publican newspapers of that section, the
Cleveland Leader and the Toledo Blade.
have been outspoken against Taft's re-
nomination for several weeks.
The La Toilette followers have also
taken courage from the situation in Ohio
and have been unusually busy. They
contend that they viii have a number
of delegates. Senator Burton has been
sounding sentiment in Northern Ohio,
with a view to determine whether it
would be safe to call a Presidential pref
erence primary, in the expectation that
President Taft would prevail over La
Toilette and other possible candidates
1t is understood that Senator Burton
also has found considerable Roosevelt
sentiment in Northern Ohio.

clothes before coming to Jail, which
request was granted. When the ne
gro reached his home he decided that
he would go no further, and put
up a desperate fight, declaring that
he would die before he would go
anywhere. He changed his mind,
however, when the sheriff drew his
weapon with a determined look, and
he was safely landed in prison.
