FROG HUNTING
SEASON IS ON

All the sport is not found in angling
for the gamy bass or speckled trout.
Monday the frog season opens and IL
there is any sport that requires skill 1T
is catching frogs
There was time when the twilight
soloists were taken any time during
the year, but since frogs were discov
cred to be of benefit to mankind, not
only food product but because
they kill embryo mosquitoes. it was
decided to have laws protecting them.
The frog season VIII end November
80. Nets are now being prepared.
lamps put in shape, gum boots tested
to see where mouse or time has worn
holes through the rubber and after
dusk Sunday evening frog hunters
throughout the surrounding rural dis
trict viii be seen vending their way
, to favorite frog pond stream, as
they can begin catching frogs when
the hands of the clock point to the
midnight hour.
Those who go for sport spend one
of two nights a week in search of the
greenbacks, and those who make a
living by selling them to restaurants
safes. hotels and families rarely miss
a night This is especially the case al
the start of the season.
Veteran frog hunters do not reveal
who have been going for years, and
even their closest friends do not know
where they make the large catches.

READY TO REPORT
ON STEEL TRUST
Stanley Committee Soon
Will Give House Results
of Long Inquiry.

Washington, D. c., July ia report
of the findings of the house commit
tee appointed to investigate the United
States Steel corporation probably Will
be presented next week. Since the
committee began Its hearings, four
teen months ago. Chairman Stanley
has lost forty pounds in weight. While
Americans consumers of steel are said
to have saved s7o.Ooo.oo0 in the same
time owing to price reductions
The report now being prepared for
consideration at the investigating COM
mittee's meeting, scheduled to be held
next Monday, will find that the trust
makes twice as much from its products
as does even the most favorably situ-
Hated of its competitors. but will not
recommend that action be taken under
the Sherman antitrust act.
According to this forthcoming report
the United states Steel corporation
products. while the best profit that its
most successful rivals can show ranges
only from 50 to 81 ton.
Advantage Held by Trust.
The difference in favor of the steel
corporation, according to the report, is
not to be attributed to cheaper pro-
cesses of manufacture, the enjoyment
of exclusive patent rights. or to the
possession of ore beds. coal mines, and
limestone quarries or coke ovens. On
| the contrary, 1t is pointed out that In
dependents, notably Jones and Laugh
Inns, own a greater portion of this
| sort of assets than does the steel cor
lporation. but nevertheless they fall far
short of making as much money per
ton as does their big competitor.
| Cites Gary and L. II.
| Virtually the sole reason that the
/ United States Steel corporation is able
to show such a big margin over all
other producing concerns. according -
the forthcoming report, arises from Us
Ownership of transportation facilities
by means of which it can assemble its
raw materials and market it's output
more cheaply than any one else.
For instance. Connellsville coke
costs the trust mills at Gary So a tor
freight. The Inland Steel company. AZ
independent concern in the same
/ neighborhood, pays the same freight
lalso; nevertheless the Inland Steel la
lbors under a handicap of 3S cents tor
on this one item alone in its competi
ton with the United States Steel.
Inland steel Mentioned.
| The joker comes in the distribution
of the 81 freight between the Truni
lime that brings the coke into the Chi
cago territory and the belt line tina
Hays it down at the mill.
There are two of these belt lines
running around Chicago in sort o
rought semi-circular route from lax,
shore to lake shore and parallelins
each other in a general way.

The two lines are the Indiana Belt
and the Elgin. Joliet and Eastern. The
Indiana Belt gets 10 cents out of the
consignees' 81 for moving the coke. the
E. J. and e. gets 40 cents for the same
service. 1t costs both roads actually
2 cents ton to carry the coke from
trunk line to destination.
The Indiana Belt delivers to the In
land Steel; the f. j. and e. to the
United States Steel mill at Gary But
the E. j. and f. Is owned by the Steel
trust while the Indiana Belt Is not
owned by the Ianland Steel. so that the
upshot of the whole transaction is that
the Steel corporation really pay 1852 a
ton net to get it's coke from Conneils-
Vile. while the Inland pay the full
81.
Similar at Ohio Point.
Virtually the same situation obtains
at Ashtabula, o., transshipping point
where the steel trust owns most of
the docks. The steel trust can trans
ship for cents a ton; it charges IL to
Is cents for the service. All moneys
subtracted in this way from the indie
pendents' earnings are added to the
steel corporations
Intimation was made yesterday that
one recommendation would prohibit an
industrial concern from owning a rail-
road OF other common carrier. Thus Il
is hoped the advantage enjoyed by the
steel corporation might be abolished
without the necessity of proceeding 70

TOO EXCITING FOR CROKER
Ex-Tammany Chief, Like So many
Others, Succumbed to the Fase'-
nation of Stevenson.

The ideas of Richard Croker do not
run on bookish lines. Regretting this
circumstance and considering that
taste for literature. once inculcated'
might be a source of pleasure IN ms
advanced years, journalistic frlend
who crossed the Atlantic with the one
time chieftain of Tammany hall not
long ago cornered him in the steam
ships library one evening and oo-
tanned a reluctant permission to reao
Treasure Island" to him.
Much to his friends encouragement
Mr.. Croker listened with unfeigned In
terest until the lights went out and
enjoyed the narration OF
the exciting events Of John Morgan
Billy Bones, Black Dog. John Silver
and the others Wherefore, finding
Mr.. Croker in the library the next
evening. the journalist again pro
duced his volume of Stevenson and
drew up a chair. But the one-time
Tammany chieftain lifted a protesting
hand.
Don't read that book to me any
more" he said Il couldn't get to
sleep last night for thinking about
those fellows"
