STANLEY PROBERS
READY TO REPORT.
COMPLETES EXHAUSTIVE lNvEs-
TIGATIoN INTO UNITED STATES
STEEL CORPORATION
PROPOSES STRINGENT LAWS
Accuses ]. Pierpont Morgan of Being
the Arch Enemy of Sherman Act
and Independent Iron Busl-
ness of United States.

Washington, d. C.-The Stanley
committee, which made an exhaustive
investigation into the United States
Steel Corporation, will file it's report
with the house of representatives
within the next ten days. The report
will directly accuse j. Pierpont Nor
gan, leading spirit in the steel trust,
of being the arch enemy Of the Sher-
man antitrust law and of the inde-
pendent steel business in the United
States. 1t will show that in the or
ganization of this one company Mr..
Morgan and his personal associates
reaped the unprecedented profit of
$636.000.O00.
Makes Many Recommendations.
The report will recommend legisla-
tion for the dissolution of the United
States Steel Corporation as a monop-
oily on raw material within the defini-
tion of the Sherman antitrust law un-
der the recent decision of the supreme
court and as holding company in de-
fiance of former decision in the case
of the Northern Securities, railroad
combination. 1t will also recommend:
Federal Incorporation and registra-
tion of all industrial corporations do
ing an interstate business with the
right of federal inspection such as is
now exercised over federal banks.
That the states be given the right
to control the tax to be levied on cor
porations and the character of it's bus
mess.
Proposes Legislation.
Legislation prohibiting national
banks from participating as corpora
tions in industrial combinations and
will provide criminal penalties for in
terlocking directorate boards.
Legislation prohibiting in the future
the acquisition by any individual or
corporation Of mineral rights or prop
critics, whether in public or private
ownership that may lead to monop-
oily within the definition of the law.
Delay in the presentation of the re-
port was directly due to the hope on
the part of Chairman Stanley that ].
p. Morgan would return to the United
States in time to testify.
"Mr. Morgan purposely fled the
country to escape appearance before
the committee" said Chairman Stan
ley. 81 am not without hope that we
will be able to summon him."

Washington, d. C.-While Presi-

memorial procession of nearly 100000
men filed past the 100000 monument

Hundred Thousand Men in Line.
The procession, which formed one
of the most impressive pageants ever
held in Washington, was made up of
$4,000 soldiers, sailors and marines
and from $4,000 to $4,000 citizens,
Knights of Columbus and members
of other patriotic and religious or
CARNATIONS.
Interspersed among the marching
men were huge floats drawn by teams
of four, eight and ten horses. They
symbolized the advancing steps of civ
ilization. A half dozen bands blared
forth patriotic airs and the entire
parade made an impression half sol
emn, half festive, as it proceeded
White House to Stanton square.
Work of Knights of Columbus.
The procession, and, in fact, the
entire celebration and unveiling of
the Columbus memorial was held un-
der the auspices of the knights of
Columbus. That organization was in

New York, who delivered rousing ad
dress.
Ambassador Releases Flags.
The Marquis Cusani-C Confalonieri
Italian ambassador to the United

released the huge American flag
draped over the memorial, and as the
Marine band struck up the national
anthem, the colors fioated down, re
yealing the heroic statue of the great
navigator. When the first folds oi
the flag began to fall a battery of ar
tillery commenced the thunder of q

morning and unfolded her late tale OF
martial woe in an effort to secure a

childlike voice, of the abuses heaped
on her. She declared that he had
never provided FOR her as he should

for some time from the effects of his
treatment of her, she declared.

But there is general feeling that
the man who will be nominated for

that the convention will adopt will be

DISORDER FOLLOWS
ORDER TO STRIKE
Unhappy Lawrence, Mass,

LAWRENCE, Mass. Sept. 30.-The
twenty-four hour general strike called
by the Industrial Workers of the
World in protest against the imprison-
ment and trial of Joseph G. Ettor and
Arturo M. Giovannitti on the charge
of being accessories to the murder of
Anna Lopizzo resulted in disastrous
rioting here today. Women led in the
outbreaks.
The trouble began as soon as the
mills opened and it developed that
hundreds of the employees ordered to
strike had refused to obey.
One man was fatally injured, and
scores were assaulted and beaten and
fourteen arrests were made in the
course of disorders that occurred in
the mill district, while operatives were
going to work.
OF those arrested, five were women.
The fourteen face charges varying
from creating disturbance" to Gin
timidation and assault"
About 1000 striking operatives
thronged the mill street district near
the Washington mill when the gates
opened. One hundred and fifty police
and forty state officers under Deputy
Neal were on hand, patrolling the
streets to check trouble. Their pre-
sence failed to awe the strikers. The
man fatally injured was pulled from
the running board of a car and fell,
fracturing his skull on the asphalt
pavement. He was an operative on his
way to work.
While William Hoffarth, fireman,
was on his way to one of the mills ear
ly today with his daughter. who works
in a mill, half a dozen men attacked
him. For several minutes, guarding
his daughter from their blows with
his own body he fought them off till
help came. One man escorting a wo-
man to work. carried a revolver in
his hand. He was given a clear path
but unarmed workers were not so
fortunate
Two women, one armed with a file
and the other armed with a hammer,
attacked Agent Milliken of the Everett
plant. He drew a revolver and drove
them away. Many of those beaten
were attacked as soon as they left
their homes. In this way the strikers
and their sympathizers avoided inter
ference by the police on guard at the
mills.

PLANS CRUSADE
AGAINST V|OLATORS
Mayor to Punish Saloon
Keepers Who Sell to Hab-
itual Drunkards.

Mayor Zimmerman is seriously plan
ming another crusade.
He is vexed at the saloon keepers
who persist in selling liquor to habit
ual drunkards. He asserts that a num-
Der of local saloon keepers will give
liquor to men who are intoxicated or
of whom it is known that they drink
liquor to excess.
The frequent appearance of habitual
drunkards in the city court to answer
to the charge of public intoxication,
and a number of cases last week,
peeved the mayor and he announced
today that he would give the question
attention.
Mayor Zimmerman asserts that he
has attempted to revoke the licenses
of several saloon keepers who were
guilty of the practice, but that the
cases were appealed II the circuit
court. He said he did not know what
disposition was made of the cases aft
er their appeal.
