ARMY AVIATOR IS HERO
IN MEETING HIS DEATH
Lieut.. Kelly Tried to Avoid Hit
ting Comrades in Descend
ing at San Antonio.

That Lieut.. George e. Kelly. Both In
fantry, who was thrown from his aero
plane at San Antonio May 10, met a
hero's death was the verdict Of the army
board whose report has just been re-
ceived by Gen. Allen, chief signal officer
Describing the preliminary flight Of the
young aviator, the board declares The
made a not abnormally hard landing.
Upon landing. at least one and probably
both sides of the seat fork were broken
at q point between the pilot seat and the
foot rest. At the same time it appears
that one diagonal bamboo brace from a
front wheel to the front elevator was
broken and its mate was bent After
striking the ground the first time the
machine bounded to a height Of approx
mately ten feet. gradually rising to about
thirty feet until within seventy-tive yards
of the camp of the 18th Infantry.
1T made a sharp turn to the left, bank
ed up the turning wheel and made an
abrupt dive to the ground. Lieut.. Kelly
was thrown clear of the machine to
distance of about twenty feet.
Pilot Lost Control.
LAS result Of the first impact with
the earth 1t is apparent that the pilot
lost control OF the front elevator control.
1T is the unanimous opinion of the
board that the front wheel must have
struck an abrupt depression in the ground
or some obstacle. causing the strain
which resulted in the break.
From all these preceding facts, the
board is of the unanimous opinion that
the accident was due to the efforts OF
Lieut.. Kelly to avoid endangering the
occupants of the 18th Infantry camp, In
which endeavor it became necessary for
him to make sharp left turn which in
the crippled condition of the machine
brought more strain on the controls than
would, have been required in a straight
away landing. Such straightaway land
ing was impracticable owing to the prox-
unity of the tents

SPRINGFIELD. H.. May 16.-A resolu-
ton scoring Judge Petit Of Chicago for
freeing on writs Of habeas corpus Ed
ward Tilden. w. c. Cummings and
George w. Benedict, witnesses In the
Lorimer investigation. was introduced IN
the senate today by Senator Charles
Harburgh.
The resolution, which under the rules
went over for a day. says:
1.-The effect of the courts decision prac-
tically prevents q full, complete and
thorough investigation into condition
of affairs which II true constitute one OF
the gravest offenses that can be commit
ted against free government and one
which takes from the people Of a
sovereign state the right OF choosing

Alleges Unwarranted Interference.
I'VE believe that the action Of Judge
Petit constitutes an unwarranted and I'M
lawful interference with the rights and
prerogatives Of this senate In the dis
charge Of its duty"
The resolution concludes with q pro
test against such action as an invasion
of the constitutional rights Of this legis-
lative branch Of the government
The resolution also advises that no ap-
peal from the decision Of Judge Petit be
made, as the outcome Is doubtful.

STEEL TRUST PROBE
House Passes Stanley Reso-
luton Providing Inquiry.
MINORITY IS NOT OPPOSED
Hope Expressed Democrats Will
Not Use Investigation Merely
as Political Weapon.

An investigation OF the United states
Steel Corporation was ordered by the
House today. when it passed the Stan
ley resolution providing for such an
inquiry. The resolution was adopted
without opposition, following a short
debate. A committee Of nine members,
to be elected by the House, will be
authorized to conduct the investigation.
The investigation is to cover all ques-
tions OF organization Of the steel trust.
its acquisition of competing industrial
corporations and seek to discover wheth-
err the trust has violated the Sherman
act.
Relations With Employees.
Another feature Of the investigation
will cover the relations Of the corpora
ton with its employees. The resolution
adopted today was introduced by Repre-
sentative Stanley Of Kentucky. 1t has
been urged by the Antitrust League and
has had the support Of the labor unions.
The committee will be chosen shortly
and promptly organized, and is expected
to work during the summer and the re-
cess Of Congress.
The Stanley resolution was brought up
In the House Immediately after assem-
bling by Chairman Henry of the commit
tee on rules. which had reported the reso-
who made very brief statement, declar-
ing it unnecessary to go into the details
of the necessity for the investigation.
which he assumed were we'll known to
all.
Thinks Steel Covered.
Mr. Stanley declared that in his opin-
ion the dictum of the Supreme Court in
the Northern Securities case covered the
United States Steel Corporation.
II will not discuss" he added, satir-
fcally. 1.-The new law passed by the Su-
preme Court yesterday"
Mr.. Stanley expressed the opinion that
an investigation of the steel trust would
develop facts which would warrant Con-
gress in passing legislation or perhaps
in resolution directing the Attorney
General to move for a dissolution of
the trust. He declared that the trust
took over the Tennessee Coal and Iron
Company.
Mr.. Austin of Tennessee made q plea
for cautious action In assailing the in
any tendency to destroy them. He de-
clared that the absorption of the Ten
nessee corporation by the steel corpora
ton had proven a benefit to the south
and resulted in increased investment Of
capital.
Republicans Not Opposed.
Minority Leader Mann said there was
no disposition on the republican side to
halt the investigation. He only hoped
it would develop results beneficial to the
country. and not be used merely for
partisan political purposes.
Mr.. Hardy Of Texas and Mr.. Graham
of Illinois spoke in favor of the resOlu-
ton, while Mr.. BOrland of Missouri, who
also advocated 1t, took occasion to ex-
press the opinion that Justice Harlan's
criticism Of the majority Of the Supreme
Court in the Standard Oil case was we'll
founded.
The resolution was adopted without d.
vision

Justice Wright's Comment.
Justice Wright, when approached in
the courtroom and asked concerning the
starting Of the proceedings today, said:
Il have seen and read the printed
opinion Of the Supreme Court which was
publily expressed yesterday. That opin-
ion itself points out that this matter is
outside Of the case of the Bucks Stove
and Range Company agt. the American
Federation of Labor; does not belong In
it and should be altogether separate from
that case"

Taft, in Message, Opposed
Putting Reasonable in Law

The phase of the Supreme Court s
Standard Oil decision most discussed at
the Capitol today was the separation Of
good" from bad trusts and Justice
Harlan's dissent from that part of the
courts opinion which writes "unreason-
able" into the antitrust law.
A special message OF President Taft's
to Congress. under date Of January Z.
1910. was found to contain a vigorous
statement discussing this very feature.
President Tafts words were as follows:
MANY people. conducting great bust
nesses. have cherished a hope and a be-
lief that in some way or other a line
may be drawn between god trusts and
bad trusts. and that 1t is possible by
amendment to the anti-trut law to make
a ditinction under which good combt-
nations may be permitted to organize to
suppress competition. control vices, and
do II all legally, If only they do not abuse
the power by taking too much profit from
It out of the business.
Urges Separation Line.
They point with force to certain no.
torious trusts as having been thrown into
power through criminal methods by the
use OF illegal rebate and plain cheating
and by various acts utterly violative OF
business honesty or morality, and urged
the establishment OF some legal line OF
separation by which criminal trusts of
this kind can be punished. and they, on
the other hand be permitted under the
law to carry on their business.
Now the public and especially the bust
ness public ought to rid themselves of
the idea that such q distinction Is practi-
cable or can be introduced into the
statute. Certainly under the present anti
trust law, no such distinction exists

''We're Not Running Away"
Says Gompers to Wright

Samuel Gompers. president Of the

informed of the action of Justice
Wright in appointing a commission to
determine whether Gompers, Mitchell
and Morrison had been guilty Of con-
tempt of court in the Bucks Stove and
Range Company case, said:
Justice Wright can go just as far
as he likes. He will find we are not
running away-not even from him. We
are contending for principles and for
the peoples right and 1 am going to
stand by that.
Il understand" continued Mr.. Gompers,
that Justice Wright has appointed an
impartial commission to deal with this
matter. He has selected ]. J. Darlington,
James NJ. Beck and Daniel Davenport
to serve as this commission. Mr.. Oar
lington and Mr.. Beck were attorneys for
the Bucks Stove and Range Company in
