 Well, I instruct you to make thor ough search, and if you can't find them we will have those subpoenaed who had them directly in their custody, :" declared Judge Dickinson, apparently exasperated.
 Understanding" as to Prices.
 Testimony which brought the famous Gary dinners into prominence proved another interesting feature. Howard M. Davis of Philadelphia, now an in dependent tin plate manufacturer, tes- titled that in 1907 he represented the American Sheet and Tin Plate com pany at meetings of manufacturers in Pittsburg at which he said under standings were reached as to prices. These understandings were not always observed, but those who violated them were investigated" and promise ob- tained from them that they would abide by the understandings in the fu- ture, he asserted.
 The Gary Dinners.
 Judge Dickinson wanted to know if Judge Gary appointed the chairman of the meetings. To this Davis gave a negative answer, but stated that the Pittsburg meetings usually occurred right after the Gary dinners. At these dinners. which represented some 95 per cent of the steel industry of the coun- try, similar. although more general, understandings were reached, the gov- ernment contends.

THE MARYLAND DEAL.
State Convention Endorses Both Taft
 and Roosevelt.

Baltimore, May 14.-Sixteen dele gates. eight of them sefected by the friends of President Taft and eight by the supporters of Theodore Roosevelt, but all instructed to vote for Colonel Roosevelt at Chicago. were elected to- day at the Maryland republican state convention. The convention was har- monious.
 Although the Taft men controlled a majority of the 129 delegates, so far as their personal affiliations were con cerned they made no effort to defeat the instructions of the preference pri- maries, which were for Colonel Roose- welt. After some si1irmishing before the convention met a plank was put in the platform. and later unanimously adopted, which declared the presiden- tial record of Colonel Roosevelt with out parallel in our generation" and concluded with a pledge to give him "the undivided support of the Mary land delegation for the presidential nomination.
 President Taft's administration was endorsed in more measured terms.
 The Roosevelt forces yielded the po- sition of national committeeman and pledged themselves to re-elect a Taft man, William P. Jackson.

REFUSE TO PRODUCE CONTRACTS
Attorneys For Steel Trust Throw Down Gauntlet At Dso ton Hearing Secretary of American Sheet and Tin Plate Company Admits that He Destroyed Machinery Contracts Understanding" Regarding Prices Reached at Meetings.

New York, May 14.-The refusal of the attorneys of the United States Steel corporation to produce certain papers wanted by the government, and tie discovery that other documents which the corporation was subpoenaed to produce had either been destroyed. or gould not be found furnished the sensation of todays hearing of the government suit to dissolve the cor poration under the Sherman antitrust act.
 Refuse to Produce Contracts.
 The papers which the corporation at torneys decided should not become part of the governments evidence, if they could prevent it, consisted of two contracts between the American Sheet and Tin Plate company, subsidiary of the corporation, and the American Can company. whereby the can company is alleged to have secured it's supply of tin plate at preferential prices. D. G. Reid and Judge William H. Moore, di- rectors of the steel corporation, are also directors of the can company.
 A Private Business Affair.
 we decline to produce these con- tracts" announced R. V. Lindabury, chief counsel for the corporation, "on the ground that they disclose the company's private business affairs with one of it's customers" The refusal would stand, Mr. Lindabury stated, un- til the right of the government to the possession of the documents had been ruled upon by the United States circuit judges to whom the testimony in the suit will be certified.
 Machinery Contracts Destroyed,
 The documents destroyed or missing consisted of contracts between the American Tin Plate company and man. ufacturers of tin plate machinery whereby, it is alleged. the use of the machinery by competitors of the street trusts subsidiary was prevented; of an alleged five-year contract between the tin plate company and the Sharon Steel company for the taking of the latters output, and of similar contracts alleged to have been made by the American Sheet Steel company, all i'm portant to the governments case. Carlo V. Wheeler, secretary and treas urer of the American Sheet and Tin Plate company, the consolidation of the two companies in question, was the witness subpoenaed to produce the contracts. He testified today that he had himself destroyed the machinery contracts about 1904"
 Destroyed Them Without Authority.
 Who destroyed them?" asked Judge Jacob M Dickinson, chief counsel for the government, sharply.
 T did said the witness.
 When did you destroy them?"
 'I don't know
 By whose authority did you destroy them?"
 My own"
 Contracts Among Obsolete Papers.
 You exercised your own judgment, without authority from the board of directors?"
 Tn this case, yes. There were number of obsolete papers which de- stroyed and I presume these contracts were among them, as I have not seen them since"
 When was that?'
 About 1904; several years ago, at least"
 You remember the contracts?"

EIGHT FOR CLARK.
New Hampshire Democratic State Con
 venton Favors Speaker.

Concord, N H., May 14.-Four dele gates at large and two from each of the two congressional districts to the democratic national convention at Bal timore unpledged, but morally bound" by a preferential vote in the convention to vote for Speaker Clark for the pres idential nomination, were elected by the democrats of New Hampshire to- day.
 The two district conventions were held immediately after the state con- vention, which was harmonious. There was applause in the state convention when the chairman mentioned the name of Governor Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey in his opening remarks. The Clark sentiment was clearly pre- dominant, however.
 In it's platform the state convention favored a six year term for president and ineligibility for a second term.

HARD TO LEARN Takes Hard Experience to Teach Peo-
 pie Some Truths

Many people jeer at the idea that coffee causes the aches and ails they suffer from; and often such people will go on for years sticking steadfastly to the coffee and suffering month in and month out but maintaining Coffee doesn't hurt me''' CTea is just as injurious as coffee because it contains caffeine, the drug in coffee.)
 A lady says:
 q did not learn the real truth until I made the change, but l can now positively state that the headaches l had for about seventeen years were caused by drinking coffee, for when 1 changed and gave up coffee and used Postum in it's place l experienced en- tire relief. I have not been troubled with headaches since l began Postum.
 This, in brief, has been my experi- ence on the coffee question. Among my friends I have seen many other wonderful instances of the power of this food drink when used in place of the drug drink, coffee.
 Among my friends there are those who tell me of relief from kidney trouble, neuralgia and eczema by leav- ing off coffee and using Postum and I have even known 1t to ease rheumatic pains in limbs.
 T really believe these statements for since I quit the coffee and use Postun, l never seem to have an ache or pain and would not dare go back to coffee again.
 Not only myself but my family use Postum exclusively and we think there is no hot beverage that can take its place. Nearly seven years steady use of Postum cOnVinces me I know what l am talking about when I say it is food as well as drink and most valuable to build up the system" Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich.
