STEEL TRUST SUIT.
The Taking of Testimony in the Case
Begins I'm New York.

New York, May 6.-The taking of tesd-
mony in the federal suit to dissolve the
United States Steel corporation was COM
menced here today and probably will con-
tinue for two months. Hearings also VIII
be in other cities and probably 1t will pc
a year before the United States circuit
court at Trenton, where the suit was
filed will take up the evidence ior
judicial consideration. The hearing To-Day
before Henry T. Brown, the examiner
appointed by the circuit court. was the
first to be held in the suit which the
government brought under the sherman
antitrust law.
The government asks the various conf
binations be decreed to be unlawful ana
all acts done in creating them IN VIOLA
ton of the Sherman law.
Not only is the Steel corporation MADE
defendant but many of its subsidiaries
and prominent individuals are named as
defendants in the suit. ]. Pierpont Nor
gan, John D. Rockefeller, Andrew Car
negie, George w. Perkins and Danlel u
Reid are among the prominent defendants
named.

MAYOR HITS BACK
Saws Statements of Rev. Robert
Gordon Are False.
Declares Preacher Slandered
City of Topeka.
CHAMPAIGN OF ABUSE"
Billiard Claims Guns Have
Opened on Him.
"Ministers Have No Authority
to Break Law"
Billiard Claims Guns
Opened on Him.
Have

Declaring that the statements of
the Rev. Robert Gordon of the First
Baptist church concerning the alleged
Indifference of the police force to law
lessness in Topeka were false and mis-
leading and that they were sianderous
to the city as whole, Mayor Billiard an
swered the flaying he received before
the church congregation Sunday night.
1T is simply the beginning of a
campaign of abuse against me-" COM
mented the mayor this afternoon.
But T wish that the persons who are
against my administration and my pol
icies in Topeka would abuse me per-
sonaIly instead of slandering the city
of Topeka.
The charges made by the rever-
end gentleman really are not worth
answering. They are absurd. For
instance, he gives a list of names of
what he calls undesirable citizens
who really are good honest druggists
in this city. His list CT names is
several years old don't know where
he dug them out of the dust. The cur
rent list includes only eight or ten
names, if 1 remember rightly.
Because the police arrested and fined
minister 1t is no attack on the churches
in Topeka. The same day the police ar
rested the foreman of a city department
who was disobeying the law. Just be-
cause a man is preacher it is no sign
that he is authorized to violate the law.
The police do not pick out the class of
men to arrest. All who violate the law
are in the same class with them.
The claims made by Mr.. Gordon can
be compared with the claims made by
Rev. Norris some time ago when he said
there were forty jointists in Topeka.
When he was placed on the witness stand
before a federal grand jury he remember
ed only one. The claims made by the
Baptist minister are general and based
on hearSay.
LAS mayor of this city do not have
the power to run down the things Mr..
Gordon mentions I am not given the In
quisitorial power of the county attorney
who is able to procure evidence.
'I believe Mr.. Gordon should take an
other look at his list of 'undesirables.'
They include men that we have arrested,
convicted, fined and run out of business a
number of years ago. The list should be
revised up to date. 1t is an injustice to
many good citizens of Topeka
THE Topeka police force is small and
we are unable to cover every inch of
ground every day. But 1 think the eff
cheney was shown Sunday when one Off
Ger lost his life in the line of duty. We
have the best police force have ever
known in the city-they area good clean
class Of men anxious to do their duty

A. M. {. CONFERENCE.
Meets in Kansas City With World
Wide Attendance.

Kansas City, May 6.-The twenty
fourth quadrennial session of the gen.
eral conference of the African Metho-
dist Episcopal church met here today
with delegates present from all parts
of the United States and many foreign
countries. The meeting, which is to
last three weeks, was expected to be
one of the most important In the his
tory of the church. In addition to the
electing of four bishops the conference
probably will revise the law of the
church relative to restriction OF
amusements. There is wide difference
of opinion among the leaders as to
whether the ban on dancing, theaters
and similar amusemeneS should be
stricken from the church discipline
The conference was called to order
by Bishop Henry Turner of Atlanta,
Ga. A report of the finance committee
showed that more than million dol
lars were raised for educational pur-
poses during the fiscal year and $14O,-
600 for missionary work.

as 1t is an all too common complaint.
All of this nervous, debilitated
trouble, said one of these specialists,
Is due principally to imperfect diges-

Texas Taft and Roosevelt Managers
Say They've Won.

Dallas, May 6.-The Texas precincts
of Saturday both Republican and
Democrat did not give sure victory
to any candidate.
woodrow Wilson was the only pres
idential aspirant to secure definite
advantage. The face of the returns
give him a majority in the county
conventions tomorrow but this major
ity is dependent upon all elected dele
gates going to the county conventions
and on the further contingency that
they do not change their votes in the
conventions. The returns are not com
plete. From many counties no re-
turns will be made until announced
in tomorrow's conventions.
Cecil A. Lyon Republican national
committeeman from Texas and state
Roosevelt leader, issued a statement
today claiming IL out of 16 con-
gressional districts for Roosevelt and
declared that Roosevelt probably
would carry all the districts.
Houston, Tex, May g. H. F. Nc
Gregor, President Taft's Texas cam
paign manager today said:
"I consider the result of Saturdays
primaries fairly favorable to Mr.. Taft.
/ have not received sufficient reports
from several districts to make an in
telligent estimate of the outcome and
it will not be possible to gauge the
result in advance of the county con-
yentiOn tomorrow.
