THE BOTTOM FACTS AS ID THE STEEL TRUST CRIMINAllTY OR INNOCENCE
 SOON TO BE DISCLOSED. Report of Bureau of Interpretations
 Inquiry Being Made Up.

Washington. D. C.. June 5.-Within about ten days the results of the investigation by the bureau of cor porations into the organization and conduct of the United States Steel corporation will be placed on the desk of President Taft. It will then rest with the president and Attorney General wickersham whether the ad- ministration shall begin court pro ceedings against the alleged steel trust under the Sherman anti trust law.
 The hastening of the report is the result of directions issued by the president. himself to Secretary of Commerce and Labor Nagel It is reported that the information gath cred by the bureau will be turned over to the house committee now conducting a steel trust inquiry The alleged activity of the administration since the house committee instituted its inquiry drew from Chairman Stanley a statement in which he said:
 Senator Culberson. myself and oth- CTS who have studied this question have long harbored the suspicion that somewhere in the archives of the government there was evidence that would throw a flood of light upon the acts and doings of the United States Steel corporation. The judi ciary committee of the senate made the most strenuous efforts to ascer- tain these facts at a time when the absorption of the Tennessee Coal and Iron company by the steel corpora ton could hardly have been called cOnsummated. I regret that reasons of state then existed which prevented the giving of this information to the people of the United States.
 'I am delighted to know that what ever these reasons of state were. they no longer exist and congress will at last be furnished with the informa- ton which has so long been refused. that the department of justice and bureau of corporations will take us into their confidence and the courts of justice are at last ready to deal with the United States Steel corpora ton as with similar and infinitely smaller concerns"

right to the transcript without delay, on the ground that the law on which the district attorney based his re- fusal was not enacted until after the present grand jury was empaneled.
 The court took the question under adyisement. The court set Friday, June 9, as the day for defendants to plead, over the protest of their at torneys, who wanted ten days time. The Connors, Maple and Bender cases are expected to reach an issue before the more serious charges against the McNamaras.
 The district attorney Mas been in sistent in the assertion that there is no evidence in any way connecting the McNamaras with the alleged at tempt upon the hall of records. The defense so far as it has been out lined, however, in both cases, will be an effort to show that back of the prosecution is an effort to do injury to organized labor. For this reason, the attorneys for the defense are considering the ConnOrs, Maple and Bender cases from the double view point of the interest to these defend- ants. and the general effect of the acquittal or conviction of the trio upon public opinion in relation to the more important cases of McNamara and brother.

Secret Offer of $4O,OOO on the Head of Provisional Governor of Chihuahua Prevents His Departure for State Capital.

JuareZ, June 6.-A widespread anti Madero plot with ramifications at San Antonio, Fl Paso, New York and the City of Mexico has been discovered. ac- cording to Mexican government off cials. The first purpose of the insti- gators is said to be the establishment in the cities named of iuntas. similar to those Of the revolutionary party, and then to carry on systematic effort to hamper Madero and restore to power a certain political element. which was busted when Diaz resigned.
 Secret service men in various parts of Mexico have been instructed to make arrests in the hope that the movement might be broken up before it assumes any considerable propOr- tionS Among points where arrests are expected are Piedras Negras. formerly called Ciudad PorfiriO Diaz, and Chi huahua
 Abram Gonzalez, provisional govern or of Chihuahua. announced today that he had been compelled to postpone his trip to the capital because of a threat upon his fife. He said he had received word that an offer of S40,000 had been made to prevent his reaching Chihua- hua. The information came from such source that he did not hesitate to postpone the trip.
 In connection with the arrest of Cru-zrey. former general jefe. pOlitico. who is in jail here, experts today ex- amined the bomb which was seized when it was about to be taken into ballroom where Madero was being en- tertained the night before he left for the City of Mexico. The bomb was found to contain two sticks of dyna- mite, a fuse and cap, and was loaded with sixteen pieces of rough iron.
 These plots do not detract from the popularity of MaderO." said T provi- sional government official. Tt is only natural after so swift a change in the government that there should De many of the old regime reluctant to give up power and that they should even re- sort to desperate measures. The plots will soon be wiped out and within a few weeks Mexico will be entirely rid of them
 Before leaving here MaderO in an in- terview said he intended to deal vigor- ously with all kinds of plotters when he reached the City of Mexico.

Washington, June 6.-President Taft in his candidacy for the presidential nomination in 1912, will receive the un- qualified endorsement of former President Roosevelt, which will be ut tered just as cordially as it was priol to the campaign of 1908. This is the best political news MT. Taft has re ccived in many months, and it comes to him in a manner that leaves nc doubt as to its authenticity. The in formation that Roosevelt under no cir cumstances will allow his name to be presented to the republican national convention was conveyed to the White House several days ago, but it did not become known until tonight.
 That Colonel Roosevelt feels that the Taft administration should be con tinUed was brought out partly as the result of the cordial greetings between the two men at Cardinal Gibbons jubi- lee in Baltimore. Whether the RoOse- welt approval of Taft's candidacy will go far enough to take the former presi- dent into the campaign as an active stump speaker is prOblematiCal, but that the force of his personality will be with the president is assured.
 The information that Colonel RoOse- welt will be found aligned with the president rather than against him was brought directlyto Taft from ROose- welt by a mutual friend high in polite al life. who was connected with both the Roosevelt and Taft administrations and enabled him to gain and retain the confidence. in fact, the warm personal friendship of both

The First Stage in the UncoVering of
 the BattIeship Completed.

Havana, June 6.-The first stage of the actual uncovering of the wreck of the battleship Maine was com pleted at , o'clock this afternoon when pumping operations ceased aft CT the water level within the coffer- dam had been lowered five feet. This leaves the portion of the wreck visible above the water practically the same as on the night of the disaster before the hull had time to become imbedded in the mud at the bottom of the har- bor.
 Intense interest has been aroused in Havana through the realization that the wreck of the battleship is actually coming into view after thir- teen years burial and that the mys- tery regarding the character of the explosion is soon to be cleared up.

ROOT AMENDMENT

 THE SENATE. It Is Hoped, However, to Reject It
 There.

Washington, June 6.-Abandoning hope of defeating in committee the Root aPendment to the Canadian reel procity bill affecting the print paper and wood pulp clause of the agree ment, friends of the measure today began on the floor of the senate an ceptance.
 The president showed anxiety over the situation when, after an executive session of the senate finance commit tee he appealed to the democratic senators to stand out against the amendment Senator Stone expressed confidence that more than a majority iwould be found voting against the Root and all other amendments. The administration has contended that an amendment to the bill proba- bly would be fatal. and therefore the measure was passed by the house in the form desired by the state depart ment. The same argument was ad- vanced when the measure was turned over to the senate finance committee, and Chairman Penrose of the commit tee has endeavored to prevent con
 
 The principal fight on the floor will be based on the Root provision, but whether it be accepted or rejected the friends of reciprocity are now hopeful of success. The reason is found in the decision of a majority of the democratic senators to make no effort to attach the house free list bill to the reciprocity measure. A de- cided majority of democrats are favor able to reciprocity. but until compara- lively recently many of them, dis posed toward political advantage, made the condition that the Canadian bill should receive no consideration except in connection with the pet democratic. measure They have aban- doned that attitude and now announce that they will oppose all amendments of whatever nature.
 Advocates of the bill are confident of success. but no one predicts a vote earlier than July 15.

From Los Angeles to Phoenix in fifty eight hours and thirty-two min utes The Pathfinder car of the Los Angeles to Phoenix road race. a Cadillac 90. sent out by the Los Angeles Examiner, reached Phoenix yesterday at 12:32 D. m. with the occupants of the car, and the car it. self, mass of dust.
 Chester Lawrence. the automobile editor of the Examiner, with George Adair, the driver. who lowered the Los Angeles to San Francisco round trip record in a Cadillac 30 a little more than a month ago. and Joseph Brown the foreman of the mechanical department of the Lee Motor Car company. arrived in the car. and as they climbed down from their seats their sun and wind tanned faces told the story of the strenuous trip bet ter than their own descriptions of the hard grilling they had undergone since leaving Los Angeles.
 They seemed tired, and the req son was quickly given by Lawrence when he said. Since We left Fl Centro at 9 o'clock MonCay morn ing we haven't had a wink of sleep

 Good time was made throughout the entire length of the journey, but it was from Los Angeles to san Diego and from Caliente to Phoenix that records were broken. The Path finder car left Los Angeles last Sun day morning at o'clock and ar rived at San Diego at 6:10, break ing the previous record held by a Kissel car The former record was hours and 19 minutes.
