Seotchmsn Tells of Several Deals With
 the Steel Trust


 New York, May 23.--John Stevenson, Scotchman and relative of Louis Stevenson, enlivened the hearings in the federal suit to dissolve the United States Steel corporation today when he described with a rich Scotch accent the various deals by which he sold out half dozen steel properties Co the Reid Moore syndicate. John VI. Gates and the steel corporation itself. and each time made a profitable bargain.
 MT. Stevenson was called by the uvv- ernment to give evidence that would support it's allegations Of monopOlistla intent in the formation of the various subsidiary combinations Of The steel trust, in which all of Stevens former properties are now constituent parts
 Entering the employ of the Carnegie Steel company in 1875, at the time when his fellow Scotsman, Andrew Carnegie, was making his reputation as an ironmaster. Stevenson in 1893 established at Newcastle. Pa, the first successful tin plate mill fin this coun- try, he said It was capitalized a1 s150,000. Ten years later, after selling out this and four other steel plants which he subsequently built, he started the sharon Steel company, merged it with the Union Steel company and then sold out to the steel corporation, taking for the Sharon interest t12, ,oo0.- 900 in the corporaton's bonds, he said. He built the Sharon steel plant, he re- marked, to shake the apple tree again."

Havana, May 23.-Despite reiterated protestations by the government that the military conditions in the province of Oriente were most satisfactory, and that it was only a question of few hours before the negro insurgents un- der Generals Estenoz and Ivonet would be scattered, additional troops were rushed to the front tonight. In addi- tion, President Gomez issued a decree authorizing the enlistment of volun teers for active service.
 Volunteers for Garrison Service.
 The new cruiser Patria sailed for Guantanamo tonight with 400 infantry and machine gunners under command of Major Puiol The presidential de- cree directs that all persons desiring to enlist present themselves at Atares castle, Havana, where they will receive uniforms and arms. Steps will be taken immediately to drill and organize these troops, which apparently are in- tended for garrison service, to permit the remaining regulars to take the field.
 So far there has been only one small skirmish between the regulars and in- surgents in the vicinity of Santiga O the latter being dispersed with a loss ot one man killed and one wounded The feeling throughout Oriente shows grave fear of the ability of the gov ernment to control the situation. The ! number of armed bands, according to the general report, is rapidly increasing and the character of the country is such as greatly to impede the move ments of the regular troops, who are | likely to find much difficulty in forcing the insurgents to risk a decisive ac- l tion.

MAINTAINS A zoo TO
 AMUsE HIS CHILDREN
RusseI F. Hopkins Sued by His Wife's
 Wealthy Grandmother.

New York, May 23.-Russeu F. Hop hns, the wealthy young mag who came from Atlanta several years ago and eloped with 16 year old Vera Law renee Siegrist of St. Louis, who is to be heiress to two millions, is made de- fendant today in an unusual suit brought by Mrs. Josephine Lawrence, his wife's wealthy grandmother.
 The aged Mrs. Lawrence seeks to recover $275,00 which she ayers she lent her granddaughter husband, and she alleges that young Houkins ob- tained the loan through misrepresenta- ton and coercion, by working upon her love for her granddaughter and the latter's little children. She declares that Hopkins importuned her repeat edly for money, and in one instance obtained a large sum for the establish ment of town house, with the under standing that he and his wife would stay in New York with their children. He has, however, gone away, it is de- clared, and his present whereabouts are unknown. Papers in the suit have been served on the caTetaker of his large estate at Irvington-on- Hudson.
 Hopkins is the son of an Atlanta banker, whose millions he has spent in a mnner which has kept him continu- ously in the public eye. At his Irving ton estate, sixty acres, with a hand some residence and Italian gardens and other adornments alongside the river, he maintains a private menagerie. For the amusement of his babies, half of the Fifth avenue house has also been converted into a zoo.

A NECESSARY LINK TO
 FIGHT GRAND TRUNK.
Why New Haven Road Wants Con-
 trol of the Rutland.

New York, May 29.-At the hearing today in the supreme court here on the motion in behalf of minority stock holders of the Rutland Railroad com pany for an injunction restraining the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad from taking over control of the Rutland from the New York Central, Attorney Edward D. Robbins, chief counsel fo rthe New Haven, said that the New Haven wanted the ma joTity stock of the Rutland only be- cause the Rutland was a necessary link for the New Haven by which to get into Canada from Boston. It was a protective move by the New Haven, the attorney said, because of the fact that the Grand Trunk and the Cana dian Pacific roads were planning to make Boston a terminus for their trans continental lines.
 Samuel Untermyer, appearing as at torney for the minority stockholders, brought out this declaration by the statement that the New Haven already controlled the Boston and Maine and wanted to control the Rutland for the purpose of keeping the Grand Trunk or the Canadian Pacific roads from ae- quiring the possession of the Rutland which would give these two roads an entry into Boston. The Boston and Maine, MT. Untermyer contended, con trolled all other railroad approaches to Boston, except the Rutland.
 Attorney Robbins said that Presi- dent Mellen of the New Haven and the other officials of the road were plain, honest business men.
 "Then why don't they pay the mi nority stockholders of the Rutland $105 share for their stock?" asked MT. Untermyer.
 The majority stock is to be taken over at that figure, according to the agreement. Mir. Robbins then quoted President Mellen's reason, which was to the effect that the New Haven had too many drains on it's reserve al present to take over the rest of the stock.

stood as closely as they could be wedg- ed in while he made his speech
 The rally came toward the close of the opening day of Colonel ROOsevelts s New Jersey campaign. The colonel said he was deeply moved by the way In which he had been received. Wher ,gver he went on his tour through the northern part of the state he was met by crowds which flecked to hear him in such numbers that only a part of them could get within earshot.
 Beginning at Paterson, Colonel Roosevelt made dozen speeches go- ing from Newark to Jersey City for the last address of the day. After Colonel RooseveBk told the armory crowd that New Jersey had beaten the west. some one called out; You're all right, Teddy"
 'So is New Jersey!" he shouted in repuly.
 But, then, the impulsive judgment of the people of Ohio was all right, too. Everybody is all right" he added, as the crowd laughed. 'I want to ex- press my profound appreciation Colonel Roosevelt began, but the crowd was not ready to stop cheering and he had to stop again.
 q hope you'll vote as you shout, he said. Some one called to him that he need not worry about New Jer- sey and he replicj 'Tm not worrying about anything now. Let the other fellows do the worrying"
 In his speech today, Colonel Roose- welt for the most part avoided crit icism of President Taft. He made an occasional reference to the president and to his opponents in general but dwelt more at length upon broad ques- tions of policy in national and state government, taking up the right ot the people to equality or opportunity the control of courts and what he styled the nationwide contest between the masses of the people and the spe- cial interests. Among other things he said
 You can't call me an anarchist un- less you include Abraham Lincoln"
 My opponents ought by this time to know" he continued that they can't frighten me out of any position that think is essential to justice. MT Taft says l am a neurotic. Pm not concerned about that. I'm pretty heal thy yet"
 T didn't become a progressive through any closet study. I became one by mixing with my fellow men. Ii was about 33 years ago that I left col lege and began my education"
 After his speech in the armory Col onel Roosevelt went to Military parf where he found a large crowd. HC spoke for only a few minutes at the park, as he was behind his schedule and was obliged to hurry on to Jersey City.
 Most of the day Colonel Roosevelt spent in travelling from town to towI ! by automobile. At almost every pIac, he found difficulty in making himsel heard on account of the noisy recep. l ton which WIS given him.

Washington, May 23- Quoting the scriptures, James Wilson, secretary of agriculture. today commented on the action yesterday of the Presbyterian general assembly in striking his name from the list Of delegates to the Pan Presbyterian council to be held in Aberdeen, Scotland, because he ac- cepted last summer a presidency of the Brewers Congress at Chicago.
 And when the sons of men came to- gether before the Lord, Satan came al so,' he said. This passage seems to apply to this case, for have learned from very dependable sources on the inside that there has been whole lot of politics behind the attack of me from certain quarters because ], as secretary of agriculture attended a brewers conference. It will all die out soon as the next election is over"
 The secretary expressed the opinion that Job, the much afflicted, would have made a fine secretary of agricul- ture. Job, he said, knew a lot about farming and mules and horses.

OHIO FIGHT STILL ON.
Battle Is Now on Issue of Control of
 State Convention.

 The six delegates at large will be selected by the convention and these are being claimed by both sides. Nu- merous county conventions will be held on Saturday and vigorous fight will be made by Taft and Roosevelt adher- ents.

 A RIOT AT BUDAPEST
Seven Persons Killed and 150 Injured,
 Many Seriously.

Budapest May 23.-The socialist proclamation of a general strike as a protest against the election of Count Tisza as president of the lower house had a most serious sequel in riotfng today which resulted in the killing of seven persons and the wounding of about 150 others some of them severely Only about one third of the workers obeyed the order to strike. To the number of 50,000 they marched through the city attacking men at work, and being frustrated in their attempts to hold demonstrations outside the parlia- ment buildings, resorted to a reckless violence, pillaging and destruction of property of all kinds.
 The rioters stopped all traffic, form ed barricades of street cars and de- molished hundreds of gas lamps and came into constant collision with the police and troops. The fighting con- tinued until late hour.
 A second proclamation was issued by the socialists, however, calling up on the strikers to stop riOting and to resume work Friday morning.

DRAGGED OVER A MILE
 BY A RUNAWAY HORSE.
Edgar B. Wheeler sustains Injuries
 Which May Cause His Death.

New Preston, Conn, May 2S-Edgar B. Wheeler of Warren, a prominent horse breeder, is dying of injuries re- ceived from being dragged by horse for more than a mile, in a runaway to- day. Wheeler was driving fast horse hitched to a two wheeled sull1y, near Lake Waramaug this morning when he met an automobile driven by Pro- lessor c. H. Beard of Columbia college, N. Y, who has a summer home near New Milford.
 The horse took fright and started to run: Wheeler was thrown from the seat, but in falling one foot was caught in the reins and he was dragged by the head and shoulders along the rough roads with the horse running at breakneck speed.
 The horse after running for nearly a mile turned into field, where it was later caught. Wheeler was uncon- scious and his head badly gashed and bruised. Professor Beard, who fol- lowed the runaway in his automobile, took Wheeler to the Hopkins hotel and summoned medical aid. Physicians say he cannot recover. Wheeler has a wife and three children.
