STEEL TRUST MEN
ANSWER SUBPOENAS
Fifty-fve Employees Appear Before
Grand Jury-Profess Ignorance
of Summons Purpose.

New York. Feb. 19-Fifty-five employees
OF the American Steel and Wire Com
pany appeared at the Federal Court
Building today in answer to grand Jury
subpoenas. The general assumption was
that the men had been sent for 70 aid
In the government investigation Of the
destruction OF the documentary evidence
to be used In the prosecution OF the
steel trust There was a chance, how
ever. that the government might also be
after the steel wire pool again, as the
subpoenas read: The United States
against the American Steel and Wire
Company" Witnesses seen before they
entered the grand jury room professed
entire ignorance OF the purpose for which
they were called.
That trunkful Of documentary evil
dence, which was to aid the government
In its prosecution Of the trust. had been
destroyed became known February s,
when an injunction to prevent another
destruction OF documents was issued
At that time Henry f. Cotton. special
deputy attorney general, said that the
papers had been surrendered by Mr..
Wise to Charles MacVeagh, counsel for
the steel and wire company after the
successful prosecution Of the cases
against the pool" upon his written
promise to return them when needed.
The maps, which filed a large trunk.
finally found their way back TO Worces-
ter. Mass, where on october they were
destroyed, It is said, on the orders Of
Frank Baaokes. vice president and gen.
eraI sales agent OF the company. The
destruction OF evidence needed IN a case
is crime under the Fedral statutes.
The witnesses to-day appeared TO be OF
the clerical stan OF the company. and
many OF them are from Worcester.
According to a statement made nv
Judge E. II. Gary, chairman OF the
steel trust the property was DESTROYED
only when it was believed the govern
mept had no further use for the records

New York heads the list of states

and 1909. That State has built 6911
miles of new road i'm that period.
Georgia is second, and has built 4344
miles of road in the FIVE years. The
gain in Georgia is largely attributed
to the use of $500 prisoners on the
public roads of the State. South Caro-

made great gains by building sand

The French system of roads, long

neighborhood of $612, 775,O00 has al

1t is only within recent years that
