Morgan Got The
 Bridge Company
Go5BLED UP WITH OFFICIALS
 ASLEEP AT SWITCH.
TESTIMONY OF ROBERTS
Financier Exchanged Steel Stock for Bridge Stock Without Knowledge or Consent of company's Directors.

New York, May 21.-Percival Rob- erts, Jr., director of the United States Steel corporation, a member of it's finance committee and a defendant ID the government suit to dissolve the corporation under the Sherman anti trust act testified concerning the or ganization of the American Bridge Go. at the continuation of the hearings to- day.
 No Intent to MenopoIze industry.
 Dr. Roberts, who was president of the bridge company when it was taken over by the United States Steel cor poration in 1901. denied that the com pany was originally organized with the object of monepolizing the Industry. He said that at that time (1990) the company's output amounted to only 38 per cent. of the entire output of the country, that this percentage had fallen to 32 per cent. year ago and that the company now only owned about 29 plants against 375 indepen- dent plants. Though admitting that some of the original constituents of the company were competitors, they were combined, he said, solely for the purpose of doing larger business.
 A Contradiction of Statements.
 The steel corporation in it's answer to the governments suit says of the organization of the bridge company that the size and character of the structures built required larger capital and greater skill than could be com manded by small concerns
 Dr. Roberts failed to support this argument when question by R. V. Lin dabury counsel for the corporation, stating that several of the constituent concerns were entirely capable of han ding contracts for structures built at that time.
 How Morgan GobbIed Bridge Company
 How J. F. Morgan & Co. secured control of the bridge company on be- half of the corporation, without any official action or knowledge of the bridge compauy's directors or officials, he declared, yas an interesting fea- ture of the win ess' testimony. There were no negotia 'ons whatever as to the price at Whio the stock was to be sold. he said. P. Morgan & Co. merely issued a circular offering to exchange Steel corporation stock for stock of the bridge company at 11o, Steel preferred at 150, Steel common par, for the preferred and common stocks of the bridge company.
 Stockholders Accepted Offer.
 This offer was accepted by the stockholders and that was all there was to it. MT. Roberts said, explain ing, however that as an individual he knew that the offer was to be made, shortly before it became public, and that as far as his own holdings were concerned had told Charles Steele of J. P. Morgan 6 Co. that the offer was satisfactory. Subsequently Robert Bacon, then Morgan partner, offered him a dictatorship in the Steel cor poration, he said, and that after that he sold his stock under the terms of offer.

Mexico City, May 21.-The cavalry and vanguard of General Huerta's di- vision was on the heights of Asunsolo five miles north of Escalon, today, fighting the advance guard of Orozcos s army, according to information obtain ed from President Madero. The rebels, he said, were being dislodged.

 Escalon was occupied by the federals at 3.15 p. m. yesterday without resist ance. They found the town sacked The dynamite trains sent against the federals by Orozco were stopped by federal cannon.
 Concerning the situation President Madero said tonight:
 Taking advantage of a halt of the present column, the rebels turned loose one after another three engines with trailers loaded with dynamite The field battery, which with heavy gun was in the advance, opened fire, com pletely destroying the engines and ex- ploding the dynamite. The road had C. be cleared before the march could be resumed"

TAFT NOT WORRIED.
Was Showed Returns on His Train but
 Made No Comment.

Pittsburgh, May 21.-President Taft stopped over here twenty minutes on route to Washington, shortly before midnight. He did not appear, and Sec retary Hilles said returns from the Ohio primaries were too indefinite for any sort of a statement.
 When the presidents train arrived here Ohio returns up to ten-thirty. showing Roosevelt leads in i95 precinta out of over ,51o0 were in hand. These were turned over to the Associated Press representatives with Mir. Taft. who in turn handed them to Secretary Hilles. The latter immediately went to the president. but nothing in the way of comment was forthcoming.
 Mir. Taft got his first news at Dem nison, Ohio, the las. stop his train made before reaching this city. A citizen of that place handed aboard A table showing the results in three Of the four precincts of that city.
 Out of these Taft received O. votes and Roosevelt 74. Taft made one 0f the first addresses of che Ohio cam paign there and Roosevelt the last.
 The president apparently was not worried about the Ohio result He slept on his car much of the way from Cincinnati to Dennison, and Dr. Thom- as L. Rhoades. his physician, was cOn- fident he will enter the New Jersey campaign Thursday in fine fettle.
 In Washington tomorrow President Taft probably will name two major generals and three brigadier generals. It has been expected that Brig Gen. Clarence R. Edwards will get one of the promotions.

nesses who might not be Christian men. Warden Bridges said that he would give the signal to the ei9c- trician while Richeson was making his reply.
 Questions Were E,temporaneous.
 We thought that probably he would be strapped in the chair so quickly that only two or three questions would be necessary. Although the work of placing the man in the chair was done speedily, yet it took longer than dad estimated and consequently 1 had to ask more questions. These questions were extemporaneous
 Finally came the question Are you willing to live or to die for Jesus sake and his answer, I am willing to live or to die were the last words that he spoke, as the signal was giv en and his life passed out.
 Went to Death as a Christian.
 "Why did I put that particular question? It came naturally out of my conversation with him that afternoon. In a conversation with him AS hours before his death I sought in vain to bring him to point where he would rather die than spend a lifetime con- sidering his sin. Two hours and a half before his execution he saw our point, and Richeson went to his death as brave Christian gentleman"
 Advised Relatives Not to Visit Him.
 No relative had seen the condemn ed man after he entered the state prison, but Richeson bore them no i'll will for he himself, while anxious to see his brother and sister, who were in Boston during the week, advised against their visiting the death house. T am afraid the shock would be too great, l fear the memory would all ways finger with them," he told the Rev. MT. Johnson the day before the execution.
 Was Anxious to Die.
 If two cards were presented to me. one bearing the word ommutation' and the other Death and lad been asked by the governor to chose. I would take the one with death writ ten on it," said Richeson to Chaplain Stebbins, according to what the chap lain told Attorney Morse shortly aft CT the execution this morning.
 Wanted Pardon at First.
 In discussing the closing scenes in the death house MT. Morse said to- day: T firmly believe that had a par don been handed to Richeson he would have refused it, so anxious was he to die. He told Chaplain Stebbins that he had wanted a pardon at the outset. but as he looked back he felt that it was all for the best and had been shaped by the Almighty God and he was prepared to die"

 Some months ago I definitely decid- ed not to become a candidate for re- election as United States senator. but intended to defer making a statement 10 that effect until after the republican national convention.

THE CONTEST PROBLEM.
Delegates With Fractional votes .
 Hard Nut to Crack.

Chicago, May 21.-When the republi- can national committee meets June 6 to consider the contests filed by Taft and Roosevelt delegates in a number Of states the members will be confronted with the problem of what to do in districts where more than the speci- fled number of delegates have been chosen with fractional votes Four years ago there were several cases of this kind in Louisiana and the national committee seated the double deleGa- tions and allowed them half a vote each in the convention.
 This year half dozen of these cases already have been reported and Seczs- tary Hayward has classed each ss a contest and referred them to the na- tional committee for settlement. taking the position that the local conventions had no authority to elect dosibhs da1s- gations to the national convention. the official call having specifically stated the number of delegates to be elected
 Among the instances where double delegations have been chosen are th1 Fourth district of Minneapolis. the Fifth district of Kentucky and the Thirteenth district of Missouri.
 Notice of contests between Taft and Roosevelt delegates in the First, Sec ond, Third, Fifth and Siyth districts of Virginia was received by the commit tee this afternoon. It Is expected the Roosevelt forces will present IS q,n~ tests and the Taft leaders 75.

Johnson, pastor of the Warren Avenue Baptist church. who was spiritual advisor accompanied Eicheson Co the electric chair, issued a statement today explaining that certain questions were asked the con- demned man as he was being strap ped in the chair. for the purpose of taking Richeson's mind off the ordeal and Co meet Richeson's wish to leave some religious testimony for the wit nesses.
 Mir. Johnson's statement in part was Rs follows:
 The warden said that he wished I could make the man talk from the death chair as that would take his thoughts of himself and his passing could occur without a period of dis dressing suspense. The warden ex- plained to me how he would give the signal for the application of the cur rent when the mans breath was ex- haled. He also requested me. so far as possible before the execution to Keep Richeson from talking about it ana Co keep his mind engaged with other things.

 by State Horticuturist.

Augusta, Me, May 21-State Horti- culturist Albert K. Gardner and his assistant, H. P. Sweetser last night completed a. series of 32 orchard spray ing demonstrations and conferences with the farmers of the state.

 The orchards throughout the state lack cultivation and general up- to- date orchard management. was MT Gard ner's summary of what he had seen and heard during the trip. The en- thusiastic orchardist who is willing to take up modern methods is increasing numerically, however, and every one of them is getting large return on his investment of progressiveness. The most serious pest Maine orchardists have to contend with at the present time is the apple tree canl1er, which is causing great havoc"
