s-.- Especial from United PreSS.9
 Washington, Jan. 11-Cornered. final 1y, after innumerable evasGons, Andrew Carnegie today admitted to the Stan ley investigating committee that the steel industry is dominated by the steel trust and that the day of com petition is past
 The shrewd little Scotchman led the committee a merry race. He sum moned to his aid, in hts evading pro- cess, a perfect flood of philosophy, teresting but uninaportant. and with many quips, he led the committee away from every point the members outspoken attack by Representative Gardner to pin him down to direct an- swers and after an exc6tng passage with the Repres tive. Carnegie was inclined to wander further
 DO yoH believe the day of competi- -5l2n is over ?'i asat ss Ieepresssst I've
 7i'sYes, ao,ss Carnegie was finally forced 10 answer
 Why has competition ceased? ?s'
 Because the corporation representa- tives have been able to sit down and agree 60 fix prices and maintain them. This is obvious.
 '.How can this condition be re1ne- died2' Here again Carnegie endeav-I OFed 10 Wan0Gr.f s E1uaHy. ne Qec1aF6Q that hlle government should regulate maximum prices
 That system he said, 'shas been with the railroads and woGId be successful with the big cor porations.'
 And again the ironmaster insisted on afield. He couldn't be headed off from reading a lengthy statement The committee and spec ta tors listened intently as he read, slowly and carefully. The statement pleaded most eloquently for unity in the enforcement Of the law against past offenders of the antitrust law, and Chairman Stanley took him up.
 Don't you beTeve that it is about time that the punitive arm of the law should be invoked and the man who violates natural competition should be seized by the strong hand of the law and incarcerated? Should he not be held up as an example, as a warning to his fellow milionaires that they may no longer be indifferent to the law? Is it not time that we decided that ignorance of the law is no excuse
 That is good legal view answer ed Carnegie, %but I think that, mor- ally, mans conscience is clear who can say, T did no wrong Knowingly g
 Carnegie pleaded for clemency for the ignorant manufacturers. Sev- eral times he was cornered but always

Mrs. Waller L. LaIIey Succumbs To LoCkjaW
Her Death Occurred at Fam fly Home In Beechwood
 Avenue, Today
Underwent Operation Re, gently and Tetanus Devel- oped- Leaves Five Chil- dren.

Death came suddenly early today to Christina Price. wife of Walter T.. Lalley, at her home, 16s Beechwood avenue. Mrs. LalIey succumbed to an attack of lockjaw which came short time before her death, and which is attributed to an operation she under went less than fortnight ago.
 The operation was a minor one and it was thought that she had practi- the dread tetanus developed. The at tending physician called in a noted New York special last evening bus the patient was beyond the aid of medical skill. The most sl<illful med ical advice available in the Metropolis was sought but to no avail. The phy sicians were unable to ascertain the source of the dread malady.
 Mrs. Balley was the daughter of Mary Ann and the late Andrew Price. and was widely known and admired was the mother of five small chill dren, two boys and three girls. Carlin. Christine, Catherine, Lucille and Frederick Andrew, ranging from to years of age, and besides her hus band and children she leaves a sis ter, Mrs. John J. Broderick, 421 mother also resides; and two broth CTS. James and Andrew Price, both of this city.
 The deceased possessed to a marx  tributes which flow from a proper conception of motherhood. young matron of beauty and talent she found her choicest pleasure in the .companfonship of her husband and children. Of winning disposition she was immensely popular within the circle which she moved and those who were fortunate enough to have been attach ed to her by the ties of kinShip or friendship will be deeply grieVeo at her untirnely passing.
 Her death is indeed most sad and to the husband and the little ones so unexpectedly bereft of d mothers care the loss is irreparable.
 Mrs. Lalley was a deVout com municant in St. Augustine's church and q generous giver to charities. As Christina Price the deceased was noted for her beauty and accomplish ments. She was united in wedlock to Walter l.. Lalley on June s. 1900. and the wedding was one of the most noteworthy in Catholic circles of this city. Mir. LAlley is brother of Prank E. Lalley. founder of the well known business firm of this name of this city and has always been aS- sociared with his brother in business.

FOUND GULL LTY IN. ARlS WHITE
 SLAVE SCANDAL
19 Prisoners Sentenced, Aft CT Secret Trial, With Evi- dence Too Shocking for
 Public
Five Banished from France and Mothers, Confessing to Selling Children, Sent to Prison.

Paris, Jan. 11-Ail of the 1s prison CTS accused of being implicated in the notorious white slave scandal which has engrcssedr Paris for weeks, were found guilty today, after a secret trial, which lasted a fortnight
 Victor Flanchon, former editor of "The Lantern. and a power tn poli- tics was sentenced to a year in pris- on. His mistress. who led in the teaus and villas, was ordered fmpris- oEed for 10 months, while Gabrielle GuiImin. who conducted the +-Nitchevo Agency, at which young eIrls were sold on the commission plan, was given two years.
 Five of the prisoners were banished from France and the mothers, who had confessed to selling their children, were given sentences ranging from six months to six years.
 The evidence submitted at the trial was so shocking that the public was barred. It was of such a degrading pers dared not print it.
 F'lanchon is alleged to have been the ringleader of the White Slave traf- fife, although, it is said, he did not profit by the sale of the victims The light sentence imposed upon him is generally believed to have been the result of powerful polfticals influence.
 During the inquisition before the Prefect of Police, persons living in the neighboring houses of the '.Nitchevo Agency told how magistrates, dipIo- mats, bankers and manufacturers vfs- itedsthe resort and departed in luxur- ious limousines with young girls they had purchased.
 An of the victims of the traffic were in their early teens. One mother sold her daughter, who was on.y Il years old Many prominent men have fled from France to avo'd prosecution. It is believed that the finding of the court wGll practically amount to ban- ishment for them as they will not dare return and face the charges which would be placed against them.

 Most Interesting.

a jest or philosophical sally saved his face
 BeaI wanted to know if Carnegie did not think it strange that so many manufacturers in the nineties were Ignorant of the law, and the iron master said. NO.
 Don't you think that, if the crin- inaI clause of the Sherman law had been enforced, early in it's history some philanthropist would have open ed night school to teach mIIIionaires that laW2s Beal persisted.
 That's a rather Yfo' ent suggestion 's replied Carnegie. fsYou Tnigh4 have suggested a Sunday school.
 Despite five hours of grueIIfng 0f the lronmaster, yesterday, there were scores of points remaining that the committee wanted cleaned up. when the per-, energetic little figure again assumed place in the witness chair. bandy words with the commEttee and again he kept the big room full of spectators laughing with many a quip ana sslly the expense of his quss-
 The phenomena1 growth in the value of the Carnegie Steel Company from $250. .0e0 in 1897 to $420, ,0O0, ,O00 in 19O0 was thea-first point attacked by the committee. They had endeaVored to show that both of these prices vvera exorbitant, although Carnegfe Insisted that either was three times too low
 When the committee adjourned yes terday. Carnegie had been confront ed by an affidavit made by himself and his partners during the suit of Henry Prick for his share of the Car negie concern in which they valued the plant at only $79.000.0O0 The iron master endeaVored to explain this away but did not succeed very well and finally was forced to admit that he had signed the affidavit without paving much attention to it's contents
 Time after time Carnegie evaded dangerous questions by declsring that he had left his business almost en- tirely to his associates
 Once more the fuFs and gay u1illin- cry of women were seen in the crowd that filled the committee room
 Representative BeaI began Carue- gie's examinatin.
