WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.-"George
w. Perkins in chair" This quotation
does not refer to Mr.. Perkins pres
ence in the chair at the Chicago
Moosefelt convention.
The quotation is taken from the
minutes Of a meeting of the Finance
committee Of the steel trust held
April 8, 1904, at which it was decidr
ed that subsidiary companies Of the
steel trust manufacturing half-finish-
competitors of the trust. (See page
10S Stanley Steel report.)
This is only one of the revelations
contained in the report Of the Stan
ley Steel Trust Investigating Com
mittee, one of the most able and re-
markable documents of this decade.
The Stanley report, in addition to
indicting Former President Roosevelt
for permitting the trust to obtain alb
solute domination of the steel indus
try, reveals beyond successful contra
diction how George w. Perkins came
into possession of the colossal fortune
that he is now spending to finance
the Roosevelt third term movement
Sources of Perkins Millions.
Here is the story of the Perkins
wealth: To start with Mr.. Perkins
made some of his millions by capital
izing thin blue air into billions Of
dollars of real money.
He made mere millions by getting
monopoly of wire nail manufactur-
ing plants and forcing the American
farmers to pay $500 keg for wire
nails that We're sold before the organ
hzation of the trust for from $1.25 to
$3.50 keg. (See page S Stanley re-
port)
Then he made more by forcing the
thousands of workers in the blast
furnaces of his steel mills to work
twelve hours a day, seven days a
week, 365 days a year.
AS a postscript to the above infor-
nation, the following history of Mr..
Perkins may be of interest to many
at this time:
Mr. Perkins was the chief aide and
co-schemer of j. Pierpont Morgan
while the latter was in the years be-
tween 1900 and 1911 throttling bus
mess in every direction. 1t was Per-
kins who as Morgans business part
ner, showed MorZan how to dominate
the boards of directors of all the
great railroads, banks and trust CON-
panies. steamship lines, insurance
companies and all the great indust-
rial trusts, to the end that Morgan
now has a strangle hold on a cor
porate wealth of over $35, 900 .0Ae; 1000.
an amount equal to one-third of the
wealth of the nation.

Charlotte Thompson's dramatiza.
ton of Margaret Deland's beautiful
novel, "The Awakening of Helena
Richie" will be played at Elitch's
Gardens, in Denver, during the week
that starts Sunday night, August 25.
Miss Helen Ware will have the star
part-an emotional role that fits her
talents perfectly. Bruce MacRae will
also have a big part. The cast is
rather large, and will employ all the
fayorite members Of the Elitch-Long
Stock company. This Is the fifth pro-
duction of the big five weeks drama
tic festival that Mrs. Mary Glitch
Long is giving her patrons.
THE Awakening of Helena Richie"
is gripping love story. with plenty
of opportunity for fine emotional act
ing. Miss Margaret Anglin starred
in the piece on the road last season,
and made one of the biggest sue
cesses of her career. Miss Helen
Ware will step into Miss Anglin's for
mer role. that of the heroine. The
part is said to fit her even better
than it did Miss Anglin.
The crowds at Elitch's Gardens
were never SO big as they are now.
The plays and the company OF play
ers were never so good as at present.
Every concession in the gardens is
doing big business.

Mr.. Foster: You say only four had

Miss Sanger: 1t was simply in

Mr.. Foster: Were the children
thin and pale?
