ALBANY WILL BUILD
FLINT RIVER DRIVEWAY
Five Acres Are Bought By City
Council for Proposed
Highway
Especial Dispatch to The JournaL)

NSpeClal ,DlSpdICn 10 me Journal
ALBANY, Ca, Feb 29-In the ex-
pectation of some day making a beau
tiful, picturesque and scenic driveway
along the banks of the Flint river, city
council has decided to buy an additional
four or five acres in connection with
about $50 acres that have been pur-
chased for an addition to Oakland GEM
etery.
These FIVE acres were considered
necessary to the driveway project by
City Engineer r. J. Edgerly, who says
their purchase will save the city a
good deal of money when the work of
constructing the driveway begins
The five acres, more or less, belong
to Mrs. r. c. Eatman, and the price is
only $50 an acre, as the land is in an
isolated section of the city's outskirts.
The price paid for the 250-acre addi-
ton to Oakland cemetery, purchased
from the old Albany Brick company,
was $40 per acre. The additional five
acres are on a ridge, and by the pur-
chase of this land the city will save
the cost of making an expensive fill ia
constructing the contemplated driveway.
When the park and tree commission
gets through with the extensive i'm
provements it proposes to make in Oak
view cemetery it will be one of the
most beautiful in the state. This, add
ed to the elaborate plans to improve
beautiful Tiff park, now being prepar-
ed by a we'll known landscape architect,
and the plans to construct the scenic
driveway along the banks of the Flint
the Thornateeska of Indian romance
will add immensely to Albany's repu-
tation as a "City Beautiful"

STEEL TRUST PROBE
TEARS OUT WTALS
Of GIANT COMBINE
MCRae Report to House Com
mittee of Congress Contains
Host of Sensational and tIu-
minating Facts
fBY Associated Prsrr.l

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-The house
steel trust investigating committee to-
day made public the result Of the in
quiry into the books and minutes of the
United States Steel corporation con-
Quoted by Farquhar ]. McRae, an expert
accountant.
The McRae report reaches the conclu-
sion that the Steel corporation operates
in restraint Of trade and prevents COM
petition through a manipulation Of
prices, through the influence of the So
called Gary dinners" by control Of raw
materials and through a system of in
terloclSing directors in various compa-
MES. 1t also tends to contradict some
of the testimony given by steel trust Of
ficials.
Some Of the figures dealt with in the
report are startling. 1t is shown that
J. p. Morgan &c Co. received approx
mateIy $7O.O00,00O in cash profits for
organizing the big steel combine, and
that the net profits Of the concern for
the first nine years of its existence
were more than billion dollars.
Steel corporation officials objected to
producing their books before the COM
mittee in this city, but consented to
place them freely at the disposal of an
expert to be named by the committee.
Mr.. McRae made thorough study Of
the books and minutes, and in his report
to the committee he pointed out these
salient features:
MORGAN AT THE HEAD
That ] p Morgan e Co. heading the
syndicate which organized the steel cor
poration. received a cash profit of $685.
100000. of which $62,5OO,00O was for
promotion, with an additional commits
sion of S6,S00,000 for a bond conversion
scheme.
That the net earnings of the corpora
ton for a period of nine years we're
S1,029. 6S5,3S9, or an equivalent Of APP
proximately S13 a ton ON fms he'd prod
uct, instead of $9sO.000,311 as claimed
by the corporation in it's report
That the Steel corporation, contrary
to the statement made by Judge Gary
and II. c. Frick to President Roosevelt
in 1907 that it did not control more
than go per cent of steel properties in
the country, controls about so per cent
of the steel holdings.
THE GARY DINNERS.

with the Gary dinners" where indie
pendent as well as corporation steel
men assembled to discuss conditions in

LONDON, Feb. 29.-Upwards OF three
quarters Of a million coal miners had
laid down their tools and gone on strike
by 2 o'clock this afternoon, when the
day shift in the coal mines ended. The
army of striking colliers sweIled hour
.Iy throughout the morning when it be-
came known that no settlement had
been reached.
The premier and his colleagues IN the
cabinet, officials Of the board of trade
and other persons having influence with
the coal owners and miners made this
morning final attempt to avert the dis
aster of a national coal strike in Great
Britain. There is only. however. the
faintest hope Of success.
In the meantime other miners
throughout the country are preparing TO
lay down their tools and quit work, so
that before night falls. unless some IN
expected change comes over the situa-
ton, over 100000 men and boys now
employed in the mines will be idle and
tens of thousands in other trades viii
be forced into similar condition.
The delegates of the miners were APP
preached early this morning by Sir
George Aswith, with some of his col
leagues of the board OF trade and also
several labor members of the house of
commons, with a view Of finding some
vay out of the crisis. At the same time
the coal owners gathered again at the
foreign office, where they conferred with
Premier Asquith and several members
of the cabinet.
Both sides are now blaming each 9th
err for the failure Of ''sss-
The miners say that the coal owners
did not show a conciliatory attitude,
while the owners insist that the miners
were determined to strike, no matter
what terms were offered
IT IS understood that the government
has drafted a minimum wage bill with
safeguards for the owners and is ready
to rush it through parliament in case
Of necessity.
RAILROADS INVOLVED.
Meetings were held by the Coal Min
ers' federation and the Coal Owners as
sociation late in the morning, but they
apparently only resulted in a reiteration
of the refusal of the participants to

Further meetings are announced for
this Afternoon, but little is expected to
result from them, and as consequence

lation which may prove necessary IN
