Suicide.

The neighborhood IF Sharpe
Postoffice in Thompson township,
was much shocked on Monday to
learn that Mrs. Denton Everts
had committed suicide by hang
ing herself in the barn, Her
husband owned one of the best
farms in the neighborhood, and
they were getting along we'll.
Their domestic relations were
pleasant, and there does no t
seem to be any accounting for
the rash act. Mrs. Everts was
raised in the home of the late
George Morton in Belfast town
ship, and enjoyed the respect of
all who knew her. The funeral
took place yesterday, and inter-
ment was made at Zion church on
Timber Ridge, She is survived
by her husband and four children.

Said President Was Told All.
The answer further declares that the
proposition to purchase a majority of
the stock of the Tennessee Coal and
Iron Company came from Grant b.
Schley, and was taken up on account,
and only on account, Of the representa-
tons made on behalf of said Schley that
nothing but such purchase would save
Moore & Schley from failure. Messrs. Gary
and Prick of the steel corporation went
to see the President of the United States
November H. 1907, and laid the situation
before him. The answer denies that
Messrs. Gary and Prick failed to disclose
to the President all the facts bearing
upon the proposed purchase or the occa-
sion for making the same which were
pertinent thereto. or that they made any
misstatement or misleading statement OF
garding the financial situation in New
York or regarding the wishes or attitude
of themselves or the steel corporation
with respect to the proposed purchase"
1t admits that the President stated
that he did not feel it to be his duty to
prevent the proposed transaction, and
say that in reliance upon said statement
Messrs. Gary and Frick returned to New
York. whereupon the purchase was COM
pleted.'' The answer denies that the

The COM iuding portion of the answer
is as follows:

lated or attempted or intended OF violate

of. And they particularly deny that they

DENY VIOLATING THE LAW
William P. Palmer Says Agreements
Did Not Restrain Trade.
TELLS WHAT PURPOSE WAS

duction and Price.

TRENTON. n. J., February with
the filing today of the answers of the
United States Steel Corporation. its sub
salaries, and individual defendants
named in the governments suit to dis
solve the big corporation because of al
legged violations of the antitrust laws,
all the defendants concerned in the case
have been heard from. The next move is
for he government to file a replication.
after which the United States court will
appoint an examiner to take evidence.
Besides the steel corporation, it's sub
salaries and some of it's directors, the
following also filed their answers today:
Andrew Carnegie, John D. Rockefeller.
ST.. John D. Rockefeller, jr., Edmund c.
Converse and William P. Palmer.
All the answers, with the exception of
that of Mr. Palmer, who is president of
the American Steel and Wire Company
of New Jersey. were made public last
night and are published today They
are a general denial of the governments
allegations.
Answer Of Mr.. Palmer.
Mr.. Palmer in his answer says he was
president of the American Steel and Wire
Company when he sold all his stock in
the company to the United States Steel
Corporation in 1901. He admits that the
sales department of the American Steel
and Wire Corporation in 1908 entered into
agreements with the Wire Rope Associa-
ton, the Rubber Covered Wire Associa-
ton the Horseshoe Manufacturers Asso-
citation and four other manufacturers as
sociations named in the governments Pc
tition. He states that he was told by at
torneys that the agreements were legal,
but that in 1908, when the steel corpora
ton learned of the existence of the agree
| ments, the American Company withdrew
from them at the request of the steel
corporation.
Mr.. Palmer denies that the agreements
were in restraint of trade, or that they
tended to monopolize commerce, but on the
other hand says they were intended to
benefit producers and consumers, mas
| much as they sought to regulate to a
reasonable extent only production and
| price.
acted as Regulators.
The iron and steel business, Mr.. Palmer
says in his answer, depends on the law
| of supply and demand in the United
States and abroad, and is largely regu-
| lated by this law. He further says that
the parties to these agreements acted as
| regulators, preventing Excessively low,
ruinous prices and excessively high
prices
| The answer concludes by denying all
allegations of unlawful combination and
confederacy, and asks that the bill of
complaint be dismissed.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1912-02-01

the steel corporation the answer de-
clares, had been organized for the pur-
pose or with the effect of restraining
trade or commerce, of II they constituted
an attempt at monopoly or monopoi1za-
ton of trade or commerce, neither the
organizers of the steel corporation nor
the said corporation had any knowledge
Or information thereof when the said
companies were acquired
Made Purposes Public.
Continuing, the answer recites that the
steel corporation made it's purposes and
the details Of its organization public in
a variety of ways, and says that the at
tention OF the officers Of the United
States government was particularly d.
rected to said organization at the time it
was effected Only within few months
has any department or responsible officer
of the government criticised the steel
corporation as being a combination in
restraint of trade or monopoly.
The answer then sets forth that the
steel corporation has cheapened the pro-
duction of steel to the consumer; that 1t
has increased it's foreign trade from
So, 100000 in 1901 to $60.OOO,O0O in 1911;
that it has not suppressed competition;
that the number of it's competitors In the
United States has largely increased
since 1901, and that it's stock has been
sold several times over and is now held
by a multitude of small investors in this
and foreign countries.
The defendants then submit:
