Dixon S Statement.

WASHINGTON, May 22.--Senatol
Dixon, head OF the Roosevelt national
headquarters. today issued g. statement
practically calling on President Taft tc
withdraw from the presidential contest
'Ohio makes the tenth Republican
state where the candidacy Of Mr.. Taft
and Colonel Roosevelt has been submitted
to the Republican voters themselves for
decision" said Senator Dixons state
ment.
THE verdict has been unanimous ono
In every state. Taft and his campaign
managers have fully realized that All ad-
verse verdict in Ohio meant tho death
knell OF the movement to renominate
Mr.. Taft. Mr. Taft frankly stated In a
speech at Cleveland last Thursday:
" The vote In Ohio, my home state
Will be the decisive one 0nd Will settle
the question OF the nomination The
Republican leaders and the Republican
voters so interpret the Roosevelt land =
slide IN Ohio yesterday.
1.-THE Republican party * bigger than
tho ambition OF any one man, The one
wise. patriotic thing to he done Is for
MT THft and his managers now to ac-
oept the unanimous verdict OF the Re
publican primary states and to withdraw
from the contest Neither he nor his
managers can longer withstand the ma
tion wide move that calls for Roosevelt
once again to assume the leadership OF
the Republican party. His nomination
Is Inevitable at Chicago and his election
Is certain In November"

No Tests Made.

There were no tests of the llfesaviuE
apparatus after the voyage began and
not a single drill during its progress. The
crew was never sent TO Its statiorE--
despite tho testimony OF one witness who
said that ne had seen one drill tslce
place This testimony had been previ-
ously disputed by that OF half dozen
Of the officers. whose Guinness it was TO
conduct such tests
The lack OF any helpful discipline Is
also brought out and severely comment
ed on The crew did not go TO their sta
tions when the alarm was sounded. every
officer at a lifeboat had to pick up wnaJ
,pou he could find. and many Of them
had extreme difficulty in getting any help
whatever.
IN the matter Of 'Iacks," which the re-
port deals with, particular mention is
made OF lack or tests OF tho bullfbeads,
which alone stood between the passcrI-
gers and their doom after the vessel was
rent by the collision.

gers on board at 1924 and the crew as

OF the suit to dissolve the United States

On cross-eSamiuation Mr. Marshall
named many railroads some of whom

Pennsylvania railroad for which the
Pennsylvania Steel company controlled

secured the contract for building the

Point for Defense.
Mr.. {. A. Severance, counsel for The
steel corporation, used this testimony,
together with statements showing the
increases in McClintic Marshall com
pany's business since 1900, the date Of
its organization, and that of the Amer
lean Bridge company also, TO point out
how an independent concern had thriYcd
under the American Bridge company g
alleged intent TO monopolize the bridge
industry.
Mr.. Severance brought out from the
witness that his company's business
had increased relatively more than that
of the American Bridge company.
Marshall said. however, in response
to question by Judge Dickinson. the
government counsel, that there bad
been comparatively little growth in
most Of the independent firms in ex-
istence when the bridge company was
organized.
Small Concerns Left Out.
AT that time, in the opinion Of the
witness the American Bridge company
absorbed about % per cent Of the
principal competitive business of the
country and its present share was 70
per cent Several small concerns, how
ever, were not included, he admitted,
