PROTEST ENTERED
IN DRAINAGE CASE
Wisconsin Harbor Cities o.
pose Chicago Project.
WOULD CAUSE A HUGE LOSS
Delegation Sent to Washington Gives
Reasons VIII the State of Illinois
Should Not Be Allowed Additional
Water from Lake Michigan.

Washington city Of Milwau-
kee. together with other cities of
Wisconsin, threw down the gauntlet
to commissioners of the sanitary dis
trict of Chicago and declared through
representatives that it would resist
TO the utmost further diversion OF
waters of Lake Michigan for drain
age and power purposes for the Hi
nois city.
The protest on the part of Wis
cOnsin cities was presented to Sec
rotary OF War Stimson at the hear
ing on the application Of the Illinois
drainage commissioners for fur
Their diversion Of water through the
canal. William George Bruce, who
was selected by members of the Mil
waukee delegation to present the
protest, said in pointing out the dam
age that would accrue to local river
beds and dOckage if the natural level
of Lake Michigan was reduced six
inches, said dredging that will have
to be done will involve a cost of
$150,000 in order to maintain
proper water depth Of our rivers. We
protest against diversion of lake wa
tiers at Chicago for either sanitary
or power purposes, because other
means for sewage disposal or for
generating power may be obtained
The use Of the lakes for navigation
purposes is guaranteed to US by the
ordinance of 1887 and Wisconsin
means to protect its rights under
that ordinance
Representative Davidson, speaking
in behalf of other lake cities of Wis
consin, contended that a reduction of
six inches in the lakes natural levels
would involve loss extending into
millions of dollars. Wisconsin har-
Dor cities, he declared, would resist
to the end further diversion of lake
waters for sanitary or power pur-
poses.

BIG PROFIT FOR
MORGAN IN STEEL
FinanCier Got 100000 for Or
ganizing Trust Says Expert.
CENSURE FOR GARY DINNERS
Report of investigator Finds Trade
Is Restrained, That 90 Per Cent.
Of Properties Controlled
BY Monopoly.

Wasbfngton.-How the $1,000. OOO,-
900 United States Steel corpora
ton and its agent, the United
States Steel Products company. con
stitute a double trust that fixes prices
and controls the steel export business
and so per cent. of the domestic iron
and steel trade of the United States,
was made public in a report submit
ted to the steel trust Investigating
committee of the house Of representa-
tiVes by Farquhar J. McRae, its expert
accountant
That the big corporation makes its
gigantic profits through restraint Of
trade and manipulation of prices is
the conclusion drawn from the ez-
pert's study of the trusts books.
Competition is killed by the infu-
ence eXeTted at the famous Gary din
ners, by control of raw materials, and
by a system of interlocking directors
in various companies.
Not the least sensational Of the dis
closures is the showing that ]. P. Nor
gan & Co. prof1ted to the extent OF
500 100000 in the organization Of the
trust. Of this amount $62. 500, 900 was
the profit for the promotion of the
deal and S68O0,000 was CLEANED from
the conversion of the bonds.
The officials of the trust objected to
producing their books before the COM
mittee. but later agreed to submit
them to the inspection of the expert.
In his report McRae points out many
discrepancies between what he found
on the books and what the trust Off
Gals told the committee.
McRae found that in less than nine
years the steel corporations net earn,
ings were $1,O29.6S5, 389, or an equiva-
lent of $13 a ton of the finished prod
uct In its report the corporation
says its net earnings for that period
were $98OOOO,311.
Chairman Gary and H. c. Prick told
President Roosevelt that the trust
controlled only 60 per cent. of the
steel properties of the country at the
time it wanted to absorb the Tennes-
see Coal and Iron company. MCRae
reports that its actual degree of dom
ination exceeded so per cent
The golden rule" policy which per-
vaded the Gary dinners to Independent
as we'll as trust steel producers is rep
resented as one of the most subtle
but effective schemes for evading the
Sherman antitrust law.
The Gary dinner arrangement"
says the report, "whereat the so-called
Independents are influenced to reduce
their production conformably to their
estimate of the reduction in the de-
mand existing, and to maintain prices,
is Objectionable as far as 1t operates
to exclude free competition. The ar
rangement is designed and intended
to operate and has operated admit
teddy, as to standard steel rails, al
though it is claimed that the so-calIed
Independent participants can cut
prices without fear of penalty. except
the dishonor Of declaring in favor
of a named price and then selling at
some other price

DECLARES MEXICANS WILL
KILL EVERY AMERICAN
Madero Secretary Says Intervention
viii Mean War to the
Death.

Mexico City. = If United States
troops cross the border line eE-
cry American in Mexico viii be

by Juan Sanchez Azcona, confidential
secretary 10 President Madero. in an
authorized interview. Azcona's state

authorized by Madero. and have given
the already frightened Americans
new cause for anxiety. Azcona says:

mon union of forces to repeI the inter
loper. Every American in Mexico
will be slaughtered at the first news
that the American flag has crossed the
border.
1t is reasonable TO believe, Of
course, that distinctions would be
made in the event of such massa-
ere. However, agitators will harangue
the crowds at every corner and indl-
cate to the mobs the differences be-

But only Americans would pay the
