BULLDOG BITES CHILDREN
Crowd Awaiting Opening of
School Thrown Into Panic.

People living on the Upper West Side
are searching high and low for fero-
cious bulldog that bit several children
while two hundred of them were waiting
TO go into the Holy Cross Parochial
School, in West 43d street, between
Eighth and Ninth avenues, yesterday
morning. No report was made to the
West 47th street police station though
patrolman rescued the children from
the animal.
Agnes Cunningham, nine years old
who lives at 39th street and Eleventh
avenue. was bitten on both legs.
The next victim was Sadie Fogarty also
nine years old, of No. 514 Eleventh ave-
nue., and the policeman then arrived on
the scene and drove the dog away.
Meanwhile panic ragged among the little
ones. many Of whom fell in their efforts
10 get away, and the widest screams
filed the neighborhood.
II was not until Thomas Fogarty, the
father of Sadie. went to the station late
Yesterday afternoon and asked if the
dog had been killed and whether or not
II was afflicted with rabies. that the
police made any report of the affair.

Herbert Knox Smith Reports to
President That United States
Corporations Profits
Are Excessive.
RECOMMENDS SEGREGATION
President Farrell Forced to
Turn Cost Sheets Over to Stan
ley Committee-Democratic
Bill Cuts Down Duties
80 to SO Per Cent.
(From the Tribune Bureau. ]

Washington, Jan. 22.-The steel indus
here to-day. Herbert Knox Smith, Com
missioner of Corporations made a Sec
ond report TO the President, in which he
declares that the profits of the United
States Steel Corporation are excessive;
James A, Farrell, president Of that cor
poration, was vigorously examined by
the Stanley investigating committee,
and the Democratic members of the
WAYS and Means Committee agreed on
a steel revision bill that will cut the
present duties on steel and iron 80 to %
per cent.
Steel came out second best all along
the line. President Farrell was forced
this afternoon to consent TO turn over
the cost sheets Of the corporation to
expert accountants Of the committee, as
Chairman Stanley threatened summary
proceedings unless the demands of the
committee were compiled with.
The Democratic steel bill makes sweep
ing reductions in existing duties, and
puts iron ore, hoop and band iron, wire
fencing, nails, horseshoes and various
other articles on the free list.
The supplementary report Of Commits
sioner Smith is more radical than his
former report, the Commissioner going
so far as TO recommend the segregation
Of the great railroad holdings Of the
corporation from the corporation itself.
Mr.. Smith finds that the United States
Steel Corporation has been making eX-
cessive profits on its ore holdings. These
profits, he reports, are not based on
competitive conditions. but on agree
ments among large interests holding ore
properties.
The corporation. according to the Com
missioner, has also derived excessive
profits from it's railroad holdings. The
fact that the corporation reduced the
freight rate 20 cents a ton for the haul
from the Mesaba mines TO the upper lake
admission of abnormal profits. The ex-
listing rate of 60 cents ton, the Commis-
sioner believes, is still excessive.
In one respect the report made by Mr..
Smith to the President to-day probably
will be Disappointing. The Commission
er admits his inability TO show the cost
of steel production abroad, because Eng
lish and German manufacturers refused
to furnish the necessary information.
The President. therefore, may have no
comparative scientific information before
him when he comes to consider the steel
bill perfected to-day by the majority
members of the Ways and Means Com
mittee The Democrats have declined to
postpone their tinkering with the steel
schedule until the Tariff Board can make
Il report.
Commissioner Smith, although unable
10 furnish figures regarding the differ
ence in cost of production at home and
abroad, on which the tariff should be
based. has found that the United States
Steel Corporation can manufacture more
cheaply than it's smaller competitors. Mr..
Smith reports that the corporation makes
an average profit of &C cents ton on ore
delivered from its fields TO the lower
lake ports.

OF Utah, wants to know where Senator

was lacking.

Mr. Bacon, who is in Washington very
