Greater Industrial Efficiency"


Tho acquisition Of the Duquesne Steel
Works by tho Carnegie company and tie
shares Of stock by the Carnegie COM
pany was not an act in restraint of
trade. the answer said. and the only
purpose of such acquisitions was to Sc
cure greater industrial efficiency.
In regard to the formation of the
United States Steel Corporation. so far
as il related TO the defendant, Mr.. Car
ncCie said that he was aware of the for
nation Of tho steel Corporation and the
business which 1t proposed to conduct
lie did not combine in any of the pro-
posed plans further than to agree to sell
his shares Of stock In tho Carnegie COM
pany, taking in pay therefor bonds of
said corporation. to be secured by
pledge Of stocks and other securities
owned by said corporation. Having
agreed TO make this sale, he took no
part in the plans for the organization of
the corporation. the answer said: nor
has he taken any part. either direct or
advisory. in its business, his position
being solely that of a creditor holding
obligations of the corporation
Mr.. Carnegie denied the allegation that
the value Of the tangible property of
the Carnegie company did not exceed
S16O OOO,0 900 at the time of its sale TO the
Steel Corporation. He also denied that
the net value of the assets of the Car
negle Steel Company on Decemb 81,
1850. was only $75.6l0, l04 96 The
allegation of the government that these
figures were corroborated under oath oy
this defendant and other officers OF the
Carnegie company, the answer said, had
evident reference to an answer filed by
Mr.. Carnegie to a suit brought by II. g.
Frlck to compel an accounting for his
interest in the Carnegie Steel Company.
Ltd. a partnership existing prior to the
organization Of tho Carnegie company.
carneoie Says Why He Sold.
His sole motive in agreeing to the sale
OF the properties Of the Carnegie com
psny to the Steel Corporation, Mr. Car
negie further said, was his desire to
retire from the hazards and response
biIities Of active business. and that since
said sale was made he has had no con-
nection with the business of the pur-
chasing corporation or any one else.
Speaking of pools and agreements, Mr.
Carnegie said that he had not sufficient
knowledge TO affirm or deny the govern
ment's allegation, that since he removed
his residence from Pittsburgh TO New
York he was consulted by the managers
IN active charge only as to the general
noIicy. but as far as his individual 1udg-
ment went he did not favor the idea OF
nooIs and associations, but had pre-
farred that the Carnegie company should
conduct it's business in entire inde-
pendence.
In his answer John ID. Rockerfeller
denied that he had anything to do with
the formation of the Steel Corporation
and that he had anything to do with us
management except that he was di-
rector from April 6. 1901. 10 February

president elect. was the only
one of the wives of the six
national candidates who went cam.
paigning. And Mrs. Marshall is not
suffragist. She went campaigning be
cause Governor Marshall went cam
paigning and because they never have
been separated in the seventeen years
Of their married life.
Her share in the campaign was to
perform the same mOtherly. old fash
toned duties of taking care Of Tom"
which have characterized her married
life; for. although Mrs. Marshall is
many years the junior of her husband
her watchfulness over him has been
of the type which has made their ro-
nance unusual in this latter day.
Governor Marshall had crept over
the forty year hill and started down
the other side before he married. He
never had announced an intention OF
remaining single for all time, but he
had done. so for so many years that
back in Columbia City, Ind. where he
lived. it had become the custom to re-
gard him as a dyed in the wool bach
elOr.
Then one day he went up to Angola,
in Steuben county, to serve as judge
on a certain case. The clerk of the
court of Steuben county was William
E. Kimsey, and Mr.. Kimsey'S daughter.
Lois. was serving as his assistant. The
judge from Whitley county found the
case up in Steuben county so interest
ing that the interest fingered long aft
er the case was closed.
On Oct. 2, 1895, Miss Lois Kimsey
Of Angola and Thomas Riley Marshall
Of Columbia City were married.
Those who remember the sweet. gen.
tie, girlish bride that Mr.. Marshall
took to Columbia City seventeen years
ago see in her today the same woman
-matured. but as sweet and as gentle.
The honors which her state has show.
cred upon her have left her simplicity
just as untouched as it was on that
day on which she left Angola uncon-
scious of the fact the road she was
taking was to lead to the highest seat
her native state had to present to her
and to the second seat in the gift of
the nation.
She will accept her new honors just
as graciously and unspoiled. 1t is this

thing unknown before to Washington
society. and that is what makes the In
coming presidents family of untold in
terest. There will be a constant ex-
change of visits between college men
and college women. Miss Jessica VIII
son may be to the settlement house
movement in Washington what Miss
Taft has been to the girl scouts, the
various sewing and cooking classes
and other features of charity work.
Miss Margaret Wilson is expected to
create new interest in the musical
world, while on Miss Eleanor Wilson,
the youngest of the three girls. Wash
ington society pins much hope.
President Taylor was the last presi-
dent to have three grown daughters to
entertain and be entertained in the
White House all at once. The first
President Harrison had four daughters,
but they were not all young ladies in
evidence during his administration.
Up to a few years ago there lived In
Washington an old woman who used to
90 to the White House to teach the
two grown daughters Of President
johnson to sew, and they made all of
their gowns worn at White House en-
tertainments. Since then Nellie Grant,
Mollie Garfield. Little Nellie" Arthur,

Harrison administration; the two
Roosevelt girls. both of whom made
their debut in the White House, and
Miss Helen Taft, who yet reigns as a
social queen, have left much behind
them to lend itself to history and the
hearts Of the people.
Mrs Wilson brings to the White
House and social life in general the
same vigorous ideas for which Mrs.
Taft stands. and it is not expected that
there will be any startling features
under the new administration.

BILE result Of the advent Of
the president elects fam
lily in the society life of the national
capital. While the three daughters of
Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson are known to
many prominent society men of Wash
ington who have graduated from
Princeton, Mrs. Wilson is known to
comparatively few women, including
Mrs. James E. MARITIME, wife of Sena-
tor MARITIME Of New Jersey; Mrs. Thorn
as P. Gore, wife of Senator Gore of
Oklahoma, who recently paid Mrs. Will
son a visit, and Mrs. Albert S. Burle-
son of Texas.
An entire new social regime will fol-
low the transition from Republican to
Democratic administration, and one of
the chief questions is, Who will be the
leaders? There is no doubt in the
minds Of society people in Washington
but that the Democratic trend toward
simplicity and social retrenchment will
people surrounding them, the president
elect and his family will assume the
ceremony of presidential household
only when official etiquette demands
and will maintain the simplicity which
has always distinguished them.
Mrs Norman E. Mack, who gave a
toast at the Dolly Madison breakfast
early last spring on women of the
White House-Be to Their Virtues Very
Kind" is likely to take prominent
place socially, as will also Mrs. O'Gor-
man, wife of Senator O. German Of New
York, and Mrs. John Sharp Williams.
AS the musical world welcomed Mrs.

will welcome Mrs Woodrow Wilson.

The legislature is authorized to
add to such fund. for the purpose
Of constructing or improving roads

ing, in its discretion, for any an
nual tax levy upon the property of

that no county shall receive in any
year more than three (3) per cent
or less than one-half (1k) of one

PURPOSE AND EFFECT. The appfo-
val of this amendment will authorize
the Legislature to levy, I'm Its discre-
tion, a one mill tax upon all the prop
erty of this state for the benefit of the
roads and bridges therein; and will
repeal certain limitations as to the
amount which may be paid by the state
for such roads and bridges.
The present constitution authorizes
the Legislature to add to the road and
bridge fund by providing, I'm it's discre-
ton for an annual tax levy upon the
property of this state not to exceed one
fourth (A) of one "a mill. while the
amendment permits the Legislature, I'm
its discretion, to provide for an annual
tax levy of one ~ mill on all taxable
property within the state.
The present constitution provides that
I'm NO case shall more than One-half
(1s) of the cost of constructing or
improving any road or bridge be paid
by the state from such fund. The
amendment proposes to remove the lin
ifatiOn which now exists In the cOnstt-
tuition to the amount which the state
may pay for such fund towards the
cost of constructing or repairing any
road or bridge and leaves the whole
management of such fund to be prOvtd-
ed for by law, as the Legislature shall
deem wise.
