1t was the understanding, previous
to the execution, that the body of the
former Baptist minister would be talk

day, which prevented the plan from
being carried out. Douglass Rieheson

STEEL TRUST.
PerCivaI Roberts, Jr. DireC-
tor Of Corporation,
Testities Regarding Organiza-
lion Of American Bridge Co.
Denies That Co.'S. Original Purpose
Was to Monopolize Industry.

New York, May 21.-PerciYal Rob
erts. Jr., director of the United States
Steel Corporation, a member Of il;
finance committee and defendant in
the government suit TO dissolve the
corporation under the Sherman anti
trust act, testified concerning the or
ganization of the American Bridge
Co, at the continuation of the hear
ings, today.
DR.. Roberts who was president of
the Bridge Co, when it was taken
over by the United States Steel Cor
poration in 1901, denied that the COM
pany was originally organized with
the object of monopolizing the indus
tries
He said that at that time $4,000
the company's output amounted to
only SO per cent of the entire output
of the country. that this pereentag
had fallen to 30 per cent. year ago
and that the company now only owned
about 20 plants against S75 independ-
ent plants. Though admitting that
some of the original constituents of
The company We're competitors they
were combined. he said, solely for the
purpose of doing larger business.
The Steel Corporation in its answer
to the governments suit says of the
organization of the Bridge Co. that
the size and character of the strue-
lures built required larger capital and
greater skill than could be command
ed by small concerns.
Mr.. Roberts failed to support this
argument when questioned by X. V.
Lindabury, counsel for the corpora
ton, stating that several of the con-
stituent concerns We're entirely capa-
BILE OF handling contracts for strne-
lures built at that time.

ton about alleged contracts entered
into with the owners of constituent

Mrs. Lillian JeWar, Boston,
Is Brutality Murdered.
Found in Her Apartment, EVl-
IDENTIFY Dead Since Friday.
One Suspect, an Acquaintance, Ar.
rested But Quickly Released.

Boston, May 2l.--After sixhours in
vestigation of the death of Mrs. Lii
liam Jewar. who was found strangled
in her apartments in the South End,
the police took into custody today,
as a suspicious character, Charles w.
Hopping, a waiter, formerly of Law
renee.
Chief Inspector Dugan stated that
Hopping had known the woman for
some months, that he was with her il
New York. last winter. ana was with
her also in West End palm room,
Friday night. Medical Examiner
Leary, ho performed an autopsy on
the body of the woman, this morning.
notified the police that the woman
probably died. early Saturday morn
ing.
The body was found, early today, by
r. A. Bassett, milk man. In their
Investigations. the police discovered
that Miss Pearl Charettet of this city
knew the woman and from her 1t was
learned that Mrs. Jewar came here
from Montreal.
The trail soon led to small eating
saloon on Bromiield street and there
during the forenoon Hopping was TAX
en- into custody
Hopping was held at police head
quarters until nearly 8 o'clock, when
he was released An investigation OF
the story told by him TO the police
Convinced them that the man had no
part in the death of the woman, al
though he had been acquainted with
her and had called upon her within a
short time.
When Bassett entered the woman's
apartment, he found the woman's body
on the floor of the bedroom, under
conditions which he believed suggest
ed murder. Apparently she had strug-
gIed desperately for life, as her klmoha
was badly torn. Besides the tightly
knotted towel about the neck ana the
pieces of string in the nostrils three
pillows were heaped on Mrs. Jewar's
head. Evidently the murderer left the
apartment in haste as the gas was
found burning.
| Chief Dugan came to the scene ana
after an investigation declared that in
| his opinion the woman was murdered
by strangulation and complication
of other abuses. The body was taken
to the City Hospital morgue, where
Medical Examiner Leary will perform
an autopsy.

advice of the warden.

that we should induce Richeson to leave
some kind of religious testimony for

Indication of the number of delegates

President Taft appeared to have car
ried Cincinnati by large margin, and
also Toledo and Dayton, among the

set by the vote given Col. Roosevelt
in Cleveland, Columbus and other
