be a constitutional disease, and

ATTORNEYS FAILED TO AGREE.
Supreme COura Justices Arc Forced
to Frame the Order.

Columbia, Dec. 16.-Failing to
agree upon every point, attorneys for
Mrs. Lucy Dugas and B. r. Tillman,
Jr., late to-day asked the Supreme
Court to frame an order for the con-
troll Of Douschka Pickens Tillman
and Sarah Starke Tillman.
The attorneys held an informal
conference with the Justices of the
Supreme Court this afternoon, when
the various points at issue were dis
cussed and suggestions made.
1t is said that attorneys for Till
man refused to incorporate provis-
ion In the order for Mrs. Dugas to
receive 500 per month for the sup
port Of the children.
Attorneys for both sides wanted
the children for Christmas day. 1t
Is also alleged that the Tillman at
torneys refused to let Mrs. Dugas
join the children during the summer
months or let them be in charge of
nurse. 1t Is alleged that Mrs.
Dugas refused to consent to permit
her former husband to enter her
home under any circumstances.
The following statement was made
tonight by Henry G. Tillman, attor-
ney for B. r.. Tillman, Jr.
You can say for me that any
statement to the effect that Mr.. Till
man refuses to support his children
is incorrect. Mr.. Tillman has al
ways desired and still desires, and
has always tried, to support his chill
dren in a proper way. AS his at
tomey took the position that the
question Of support was not a
proper subject Of the order which
the Supreme Court asked the parties
to agree upon, as | did not want to
put Mr.. Tillman in the false position
OF being compelled by order Of court
to do what he wants to do and will
do"

Kennedy, mechanical engineer of Pitts

the property of the Tennessee Coal and
Iron company acquired by the United
States Steel corporation in 1907 had a
valuation of at least $500, 100000.
The witness was asked about the
taking over of the Union-Sharon Steel
company and the agreement made
whereby its owners would not re-en-
gage in the steel business for ten
years. Mr.. Kennedy said that a hand
In 1899, Mr.. Kennedy said, he was

all the tube plants of the country.
The witness described the organiza-
ton of the National Tube company
brought about by Mr.. Morgan. The
effect of this organization on prices
was to raise them, he said.
Chairman Stanley inquired into the
economics of running steel mills at full
capacity and Mr.. Kennedy replied that
a steel mill, running at from so to
80 per cent of it's full capacity was
economically run.

where they stood on this question.
