suggestion of any change in its business
methods has been made to it by the gov
eminent at any time. Recently full and
frank discussion of the whole situation
has been had between the representatives
of government and the company in an
honest desire on both sides to avoid lit

which will obyiate the necessity of any
protracted litigation by satisfying the
claims made under the Sherman act
without seriously impairing the economic
advantages and benefits secured by the
organization of this company. No form
of reorganization, however, was suggest
ed by the government that seemed prac-

The government has been careful TO
avoid embarrassment to the foreign bust

Washington, April 30-The perfected
post office appropriation bill as agreed
upon after session of the House

azines and other periodicals to publish
the names of their managing editors
and stockholders who own stock vaiu-
ed at more than $3.50. This bill. cham

this information in but one issue a
week. The Barnhart bill also provides
that all editorials or reading matter

A WARM CONTEST.
Great Interest on Republican Side
The Democrats Lukewarm.

Boston. April 3O.-The contest in the
Presidential primaries, today, for the So
Massachusetts delegates to the Republic
can national convention was exceeded in
interest by the volume of votes cast that
for convention control of the Democratic
delegation to Baltimore.
Early returns showed that four Repub-
lican voters went to the polls to one
Democrat, although in neither case did
these returns indicate vote equalling
that cast in the state election of last
November.
The race between President Taft ana
Col. Roosevelt. which or the question of
the preference of voters was neck and
neck affair. for several hours absorbed
so much attention that the long lead of
Speaker Clark over Gov. Woodrow Will
son, especially in Boston and a few small
cities and towns, was almost forgotten.

An early canvass of the II congress
sional districts was not satisfactory, ow-
ing to meagre returns.
At the headquarters of teh two Repub-
lcan aspirants for the Presidency there
was far more jubilation by the supporters
of Roosevelt than by those who assem-
bled to look over returns compiled by
the Taft leaders.
The early returns, some of which came
in at or 3 O'Clock in the afternoon. all
indicated a close contest, with Roosevelt
slightly in the lead. This led both forces
to send out messages to cities and towns
that were still voting urging the rank
and file to get out every vote and warn
ing them that the contest was unusually
close.
About one-third of the state closed its
polls at o'clock or earlier.
AS the remainder of the state did ret
cease voting until from 5 to $50 o'clock.
there was 4-hour lull in the tabulation
of the returns.

u. S. Steel Fails to
Earn Its Dividends.

New York, April 3o-That the Unit
ed States Steel Corporation failed to
earn its dividends on the preferred
and common shares for the first three
months of this year by more than &c.
100000 was disclosed, today, at the
regular quarterly meeting of the di-
rectors. Earnings after charging in
terest on subsidiary company's bonds,
together with interest on outstanding
subsidiary bonds, amounted to only

allowance for depreciation and other
regular fixed charges, including the
sinking fund, net earnings were re-
duced to s12.10S.415.
A further reduction of S5,741 ,S49, rep
resenting interest for the quarter on
the outstanding issues, reduced the
balance applicable~to dividends to &c.
36G,5s6 Indsmuch as f$12, 65S, 700 was
necessary to meet dividend require
ments on the preferred and common
shares, deficit of s6,292,134 was
created. In the language of the Of
fetal statement, this was Provided
from the undivided surplus at Dec.

Earnings and net earnings as re-
ported, today, compare with $23, 105,-
