. Former Employe of Steel
Trust Subsidiary Tells How
He Obeyed Orders of Com
pany Official.
VERY SENSATIONAL
TESTIMONY GIVEN
Same Witness, H. A. Whit
ney, Alleges Attempt Was
Made to Influence His Ev-
idence in Case.
(NationaI News Association

NEW YORK, May s.-The destruc-
tion of papers relating to a pooling
agreement by one of the subsidiary
companies of the United States Steel
corporation to prevent them being
seized by the federal government and
produced in the suit to dissolve the al
legged trust, were told when the hear
ing before Henry T. Brown as exam
liner was resumed in the customs
house today.
The witness was Harry A. Whitney,
formerly corresponding salesman in
the wire-rope department Of the Amer
1can Steel & Wire company. He had
all of his firms papers relating to it's
participation in the wire-rope pool, he
declared, and destroyed them by direc-
tion of Vice President Frank Baackes
of the American Steel & Wire CON-
pany
Put Papers In Trunk.
Il placed all the papers relating to
the pool in trunk" he said "and took
them to the office of George Cragin,
assistant sales agent at the company's
works at Worcester, Mass. This was
either in October or November, 1911.
Vice President Baackes then directed
me to destroy the contents of the
trunk. He said to me, Harry, want
you to see that all these papers are
destroyed | had the trunk carried
down to the boiler room of the plant
and personally saw to it that every one
OF the papers was thrown into the fur
mace"
Whitney created sensation by tes-
tifying on direct examination that
Cragen had tried to influence his tes-
timony before the federal grand jury,
which investigated the American
Steel & Wire company.
He told me that he had testified
that it was he and not Mr.. Baackes
who gave instructions to destroy the
papers. He said he hoped l would
make my testimony conform with what
he had already said"
On cross examination Whitney testi-
fled that Mr.. Baackes had met him
outside the grand jury room and told
him that he (Baackes) hoped that
Whitney would not insist that it was
Baackes who had instructed him to de-
tstroy the American Steel & Wire let
tiers.

WEST POINT BOYS
DEFY COMMANOANT
Military Academy in an Up
roar Over the Actions of
the Cadet Corps.
(Eatfonal News Association

(rsational News Association)
NEWBURGH, N. Y, May 8.-Not in
years has West Point been worked up
to the condition in which it has been
during the last week. One exciting in
ciderlt in which cadets were involved
followed another in quick succession,
until on Saturday came the climax,
when the entire corps 'got in bad"
with Major-Gen. Thomas Barry, the
superintendent of the United States
Military Academy.
The episode which aroused the in
dignation of Major-Gen. Barry occur
red while the $50 cadets were assemb-
ling in the cadet mess hall on Satur-
day for their midday meal. cadet
who was seated near a window espied
the General passing the building and
Supe," which is said to be golf term
meaning clear the field" "be on your
guard" 1t frequently is heard at
West Point on a pleasant afternoon
when Gen. Barry and other army Of
ficers are playing on the golf links.
AS soon as the remark reached the
superintendent ears he wheeled and
dashed into the mess hall, and. calling
the cadets to attention, demanded to
know who had made the remark he
had overheard and which had angered
him. 1t is said that for a few min
utes one could have heard a pin drop
in the dining room, but no one volun-
teered any explanation.
Each of the tables in the mess is in
charge of first class man. and Ca
det Crawford, who has charge of one
near a window, was then asked by
the General if he colud inform him
who had made the remark, and the ca
det is said to have replied:
General, l believe in justice, which
you always call for, but cannot con-
scientiously inform you who shouted
from the window"
The general then held the entire
corps of cadets in the mess for an ex-
ira half hour in a vain attempt to
find the culprit and then dismissed
them. 1t is said the first classman
probably will be skinned" for his
failure to give the desired information
"Skinning" in the varnacular of the
cadet corps is equivalent to punish
ment. which in this case may take the
form of demerits or compelling the ca
det to walk under arms in the area of
the barracks during the hours off du-
ty, or it may go so far as to deprive
him of all privileges until graduation
in June.
Not since the time when the sunset
gun was taken from the plains, hoist
ed on the roof of the barracks and
discharged at midnight has there been
such an incident . At that time the
cadet corps, which was then only
routed out of bed in the middle of a
cold night in January, placed under
arms in the barracks yard and the
men kept there all night to secure the
names of the offending cadets. but the
cadets never gave the names, and it
was only years after at a class reun-
ion that the true story of the firing
of the sunset gun from the roof of the
| barracks was brought out The gull
ty men were members of the first
class.

ter feed and has made easier the live
stock industry in every branch. Al
falfa fed hogs make the finest pork

alfalfa fed sheep the finest mutton
Alfalfa honey has created market OF
its own, and each year the farmers of
Montana are coming to recognize the
Importance of alfalfa. This year mil
lions of acres are being sown to alfal-
ia in every section of the state, for
there is no part of the commonwealth
in which it will not grow.
As a special inducement to the
growers of alfalfa the board of direc.
tors of the Montana State Fair has ar
ranged for a special prize valued at
$3.50 to be awarded for the best ten
sheaves of alfalfa grown by one indi
vidual and displayed at the fair In
this matter the directors have secured
the cooperation of the International
Harvester company, who will become

and who will display it outside of the
state as an advertisement of what
Montana lands will do in alfalfa fields

MODEL DAIRY
PLANT AT FAIR All
State Exposition Paying Special
Attention to ButtermakIng.

The manufacture Of butter and
cheese forms line of industry which
should be a source OF great revenue
to Montana, but peculiar as the fact
may seem, such is not the case. De-
spite the fact that the butter and
cheese which is manufactured in this
state is OF a superior quality, the vast
majority of both of these dairy prod
ucts is shipped from beyond the bor-
ders of the state. This is something
which the state fair management has
been working to overcome for several
years past, and the statistics each
succeeding year show that their ef-
forts are being attended with marked
results.
This year during the state fair,
Sept. % to %, inclusive, there will be
in operation on the grounds a model
dairy plant, fully equipped and under
the supervision of R. c. Jones. The
plant will be supplied with boiler,
swing churn, tester, separator, cream
watts, butter worker butter printer and
butter and salt scales. The machin-
cry for the plant is being donated by
the Vermont Farm Machine company.
The visitors to the fair are requested
to consult with Mr.. Jones as to his
methods of practical buttermaking.
Special prizes for butter and cheese
which will be offered at the fair make
this department of unusual interest
this year, and the fair management
hopes to arouse even greater interest
in the dairy industry than has here
tofore been manifested.
