Makes American Steel and
Wire Co. the Target.
Suit Opens, Monday, at New York;
Two Witnesses Examined.

New York, May 6.-rhe government
began the suit to dissolve the United
States steel Corporation. today. by
attacking one of its largest subsidia-
ries, the American Steel and Wire Co.,
with the intent to prove that ever
since its organization iii 1888 down to
yeaI ago, it had been a party to
pools, agreements or understandings to
restrain trade.
The testimony, taken before Henry
p. Brown Of Philadelphia, special COM
missioner in the case, WAS given by
two witnesses, Wallace Buell. of Port
Chester, N. Y, retired Independent
wire manufacturer, and George e. Hol-
ton, president of the Dryden Horse
Shoe Co.. of Catasauqua, Pa, who,
with others, was indicted and fined
in the so-called Wire pool cases
about year ago. after a plea of nolo
contendere.
Seven of these alleged pools covering
different kinds of wire, are mentioned
in the governments complaint, and
Holton testified as to the formation Of
the American Horse Shoe Co, three
months before the organization of the
United States Steel Corporation The
association. he said, was organized to
fix the price of horse shoes and was
composed of nine concerns. among
them the American Steel and Wire and
his concern These, he swore. entered
irto g pooling agreement, copy of
which he produced. IL provided penal
ties Of not less than $500, or more than
$1,000, for the failure of any member to

busy day of his present Ohio trip
Mr.. Taft began the days work at
Jacksonville, and ended it at Cincin-
natl, tonight. From the time he left
Parkersburg, W. Va, and crossed the
Ohio river into his home state, the
President continued to tell his hearers
why he broke silence and attacked
Col. Theodore Roosevelt. He covered
again much of the ground he went
over in Massachusetts and Maryland,
but occasionally brought in new sub
jects. Most of his audiences were
attentive and at times demonstrative.
The President talked many times
about Col Roosevelt's charge that he
was conserving with the bosses. He
referred to William Flynn, of Pitts
burg, and Walter Brown of this state
as being two examples of bosses with
whom Col. Roosevelt now has deal

More petitions are still coming In
from t}se Oranges and other organiza-
tions in the rural sections, urging
that Congress do not repeal the
oleomargerine law. OF course 1t was
announced quite while ago by
Chairman Lamb of the House agricul-
tural committee, that the proposed
repeal of the oleoniargerine law had
been postponed till the next session
of Congress. The Democrats do not
want to ALLEVIATE any of the farmers
by enacting legislation of that char
acter Just before there is a choice of
President But undoubtedly it is the
Democratic purpose to attempt to re-
peal the oleomargerine law next WIN
ter after the election has been decid-
ed. Such a repeal fits in with their
plans to reduce the taxes upon ar
ticles that enter prominently into the
cost of living.
Notice the hue and cry that Is rails
ed all of a sudden about new con-
stitutional amendment. The House
Democrats have found out that it is
necessary to submit an amendment
which will lengthen the Presidential
term to six years and not allow an
encumbent to be reelected. Repre-
sentative CLAYTON of Alabama, chair
man of the House judiciary commit
tee. has introduced such a resolution
in the House and, from all the talk
there is. one might infer, that it was
to 60 through the House Nting.
similar resolution was introduced
in tho Senate some time ago by Sen
ator Works of California, and sub
committee of the Senate committee
on judiciary has reported it favor
ably with a provision that the ineligi-
hility for reelection shall not apply
to the Vice President.
The fact that Col. Roosevelt has
been running and still is running Tor

Washington, ID. c., May 6.--(Spe-
ciaD.-The heaviest business the two
Democratic senators from Maine have
seems to be the presentation of those
petitions which keep coming in from
Maine for the enactment of legislation
to prohibit the transportation of in
toxicants into prohibition states.
There appears to be no end of those
petitions. They are sent to members
of the House as well as to senators.
and the judiciary committees of both
houses have those documents, in their
files by the thousands from the State
of Maine.
Many Southern Democrats are pro-
hibitionists, and as the South domi-
mates the committee ON judiciary OF
the House it was thought that pos
sibly some Roadway might be had
with this measure in the House. 1t
has not been so, however, and, al
though there have been extended
hearings on the bill, it will apparently
be sidetrackeds The Democratic
House is allowing about every kind
of old bill to come to a vote at this
session but this brand of legislation
to assist in the enforcement of pro-
hibitien laws is not within the Demo-
cratic comprehension of proper legis-
lation in Presidential campaign

brewers will be very welcome, THANK

Charges Against Judge Of
The Commerce Court
Due for Investigation, Today, by
House Judiciary Committee.


Washington. May 6.-Investigation
of charges against Judge Robert w.
Archibald of the commerce court will
be undertaken, tomorrow, by the
House committee on judiciary.
Papers in the case sent TO the com
mittee to the department of justice
by direction of President Taft will be
examined, and 1t is expected that II.
j. Williams of Scranton, Pa, will APP
pear as the first witness of the in
quiry.
One of the things to be taken up
by the committee at the outset will
be whether Judge Archibald win be
invited to participate in the inquiry,
and be given the right to question
witnesses. There are presidents for
such a course. Some members think
Judge Archibald should not be asked
to appear because the committee will
be in position much the same as a
grand jury. Mr.. Clayton said, today,
that probably all of the following
would soon be subpoeaned:
G.. +. BrownelI, vice president and
general counsel of the Erie Railroad,
who is said to have knowledge of the
plan to sell the Culm Banks owned by
the railroad and to have conferred
with the prospective purchasers.
w. p. Boland. president of the
Marion Coal Co., of Scranton, Pa,
who first called attention to the ne
gotiation which led to the charges
against Judge Archibald.
B.. II. Meyer, interstate commerce
commissioner who, President Taft
says first brought the charges to his
attention.
Capt. W. V. May, manager of the
Erie Railroad properties, with whom
Williams is said to have negotiated
with reference to the Culm Bank
transaction.
Charles f. Conn., vice president of
the Lackawa & Wyoming Co.,
which according TO the charges, was
the company which sought to pur-
chase the Culm Banks properties for
$4,000.

she bad at the previous hearings. She
corrected testimony made at q previ-
Gus hearing. which she said she had
given through fear of her husband,
and claimed that she had been virtual
ly made White Slave by him.
The testimony offered by Fred b. Lee
we're was practically the same as he had
previously offered. Henry Gazette testi-
fled in regard to the money which he
had when he came to the National Home
and his disposal of his money. Mrs.
Ruth leighton of North Augusta. mother
of Mrs. Levere, corroborated some of her
daughters testimony.
DR. w. II. Harris, county medical ex-
aminer, submitted pathological and chem
zeal reports of the analysis of Turner's
stomach by Prof Cram of the Maine
Medical school. The results of these ex-
aminatiens were, by request OF the coun-
ty attorney. withheld from the public
for the present. 1t was understood, how
ever, that the evidence submitted to the
coroner's jury was of sufficient strength
to warrant the finding of the verdict,
without taking into consideration the
matter of the analysis of the stomach.
Mrs. Matte Written gave important
testimony in regard to a conversation
which she claimed to have heard at the
Levere home between Gazette and Mrs
Levere in regard to trimming or
"drugging'' Turner Horace Rideout was
also among the witnesses called.
The verdict was unanimous one. The
members of the jury are: w. G.. Moody,
Fred w. Fife, Eugene Taylor, Arthur H
Krause, E. NJ. Mower and Hiram Hteb-
bins.

tation with County Attorney Williamson,

COLONEL DISCUSSES SITUATION.

Oyster Bay, NJ Y, May 6.-After he
had learned that President Taft had
gone to Ohio to pass part of this week
in campaigning, Col. Roosevelt talked
oyer The situation in that state at
length, today, with James *, Garfield
ex-secretary of the interior, and Wal
ter Brown. chairman of the Ohio State
Central Committee.
Col Roosevelt said, tonight. that he
bad decided to adhere to the plans
made some time ago in reference to
the length of time he was to pass in
Ohio, and that he would not leave
earlier ON account of the President s
extended campaign there. He expects
to start for Ohio, Tuesday. of next
week, and will make his first speech
in Canton, Wednesday.
Gel Roosevelt said he probably
would go through the state making
much the same speech which he deliv-
cred before the Ohio State Constitution
al convention in Columbus in February
1t was said by President Taft in a re
cent speech that Col. Roosevelt was
putting into the background issues
which he raised in that speech and Col,
Roosevelt said he had been urged by
supporters in Ohio to explain his views
thoroughly to the people of the state.
The colonel said he would illustrate by
concrete examples just what he meant.
Col. Roosevelt added that owing to
the form of ballot to be used in the
Ohio preliminaries the names of Presi-
dent Taft and himself would not APP
pear and, that there would be no pref
no hn sal
1T would be necessary to impress upon
the voters what candidates the various
