THE WILDCAT PROMOTER.

Let us look little closer at this
creature. In the first place, he never
herds; he is alone in the jungle,
writes Richard Rice, Jr., in the March
Atlantic. To the rest of us herded
animals, therefore. he looks fear
some and fanatical. Yet, after he
has blazed out the wild strange trails,
and we have seen his eye, aglow with
their wonders, cleaning with posi-
bihty, do not we. dun minions of
success, follow cautiously after, when
the danger and the glamour are past,
and the heroic wild cat, the pioneer
has roamed further, alone? Without
him, the epic hero and true Titan of
modern progress, should not the rest
of us poor miserable tenderfeet still
be hiding our talents in the proverb-
ial napkin, and would not Calumet
and Trinity be only as valuable as
so many unburrowed rabbit holes?
The wild cat has always been a
lonely being, "a lonely thinker. !"
From the day when Hercules set out
to gather the golden apples in the
garden of the Hesperides, to the day
when Sandy Nugget tramped over the
Yukon trail, he has wandered the
wilderness alone. No sociable per
cent comforts for him! With gigan-
tic conceptions of possibility, he
strides continent for a shovelful of
sand, he dives into the deeps for an
oyster shell. And what if, OCCASION
ally scattering his sand in our faces.
he swears that it glitters like gold;
and what If. rising with his oyster
shell, he cries: Behold my pearl
without price!'-what sort of sue
cess have we to prove the contrary :?

THE GARY DINNERS.

New York, May 16.--While no agree
ments or understandings to maintain
prices were ever reached at the now
famous Gary dinners of steel manu-
facturers. the general effect of them
was to maintain prices, according TO
the testimony of John A. Topping,
chairman of the Republic Iron ami
Steel Co., today, at the hearing of the
federal suit to dissolve the United
States Steel Corporation.
Practically the whole days session
was devoted to the subject of price
understandings and in this connee-
ton the "Steel Trust" counsel brought
out from one of the governments wit
nesses that there had recently been
formed an organization of independent
bridge and structural steel manufac-
turers with objects which appeared 10
be in some respects similar to those
which the Trust claims for the Gary
dinner gatherings. and other meetings
IN which representatives of it's subsid-
iary concerns participated.

Society was Investigated by the gov

formed about year ago by rs indie

Has 543 and Only Needs Ohio
Col. Roosevelt Claims Sol.
COLONEL CLAIMS SOL.

Toledo. Ohio, May 16.-"Of the dele
gates already elected l have 501.' said
Col. Roosevelt. today. He stood by his
statement of yesterday that he had
more than 500 delegates and was con-
fident that he would be nominated on
the first ballot at the Chicago conven-
ton.
The third day of Col. Roosevelt's
campaign took him from Greensville OF
Toledo He made 10 speeches to crowds
which varied from a few hundred at
the smaller towns to several thousand
in the cities. In Toledo, tonight, he adj
dressed a throng which packed Ter
minal Convention hall. The colonel had
as little time for rest today, as on the
previous days of his campaign in this
state. but his voice showed no effects
from the strain. The colonel was told,
today, that President Taft would dis
pute his claim as to delegates and he
directed the preparation of figures to
reinforce what he had said The
Roosevelt column in the list foots up
501. Under the heading For some 9th
err candidate are placed 345 delegates,
while 81 are listed as "uninstructed,
and 3S as contested.
Il have gone over this table in mi
mute DETAIL said Col. Roosevelt, "and
I consider it guarded underestimate
of bur strength"
The former President asserted that
the lists of delegates which have been
given out by the Taft manager were
SO misleading as to give little idea of
the liae up and that il was his purpose
to show just what the situation was.
From New York state 20 delegates
