Washington, Aug. 1.--F7fteen monthef Investigation of the ''steel Trust" by the special committee of the House were summarized in reports submitted to that body today-one set condemn ing the United States Steel Corpora tfon as a gigantic monopoly in re- straint of trade, the other. although accusing it of sharp practices, hold- ing that it Is not a monopoly. All the reports submit voluminous sugges- tions for amendment and rehabilita- tion of the antitrust laws, based on evidence developed during the hear insE-
 The reporrs all refrain directly from s,rpreesinE the opinion that the United States Steel Corporation has violated the Sherman law. An agreement to omit reference to this phase of their arrastIRation was reached because of The present pendency of the Govern menf's suit to dissolve the corpora- ton.

TRY MCNAMARA DETECTIVE.
Hearing in Case Of Bert n. Franklin
Beqins Tomorrow.

Los Angeles, Cal, Feb. 24.-Three
months to day after his alleged bri-
berry of Juror Balm and attempted bri-
berry of Juror Lockwood, Bert H.
Franklin, former chief of detectives
for the Mcnamara defense. will so on
trial tomorrow. 1t is alleged that
Franklin will accuse Clarence S. Oar
row, the Chicago labor attorney new
under Indictment for bribery. with re-
sponsibility for the alleged corruption
of jurors.
Franklin. it is rumored, will be the
chief witness of the state against
Darrow. 1t is known that Darrow
has had several conferences with As
sistant District Attorney Ford, and it
is believed that he has been promised
immunity if he will lay bare the en-
tire affair.
Franklin has denied that he has
been offered immunity, but is equally
positive that he will never spend a
day in prison. He has admitted that
he is willing to tell all he knows
about the alleged jury bribing.
II will not commit perjury for any
one" Franklin asserted following his
arrest. 1t is declared that Franklin
will say that Darrow was present
when the alleged bribe was passed,
This was on Nov. 2S last few days
before Darrow urged the McNamaras
to plead guilty, following Franklin's
arrest and the discovery of the alleg-
ed bribery conspiracy.
1t has been charged that Franklin
was an employe of the district attor-
ney's office at the same time he was
in charge of the detectives engaged
by the Mcnamara defense. This
Franklin denies. 'If | ever did any
thing wrong" asserts Franklin. cit
was while | was employed by the Nc
Namara attorneys and not for Burns
or the district attorney"

tempt to save the mans life.
At late hour the victim was still
unconscious and it was feared that he
had sustained a fracture of the skull
and concussion of the brain.
The man is large, weighing proba-
bly, 1870 pounds, and has a smooth
face. He carried a card with the
Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen
and wore an Elk emblem.
