VEWS0F REPUBLICANS
ON NSTEEL TRUST INQUIRY
Minority Members of Commit.
tee Preparing Report Of
Sensational Character.

The republican members of the Stanley
steel trust Investigating committee
worked yesterday on a report of their
views of the result Of the steel inquiry.
and when it is submitted to the House
1t will create more of a sensation than
that prepared by Chairman Stanley.
This assertion was made by a member
of the committee yesterday. He said
the republican recommendations would
be more far-reaching than those made
by the democrats. and that the bills
to be suggested to the House would be
for constructive legislation to amend
the trust laws rather than censure Of
the officials who failed to curb the
growth Of the steel trust
Findings Not Accepted.
The republicans will find much to
praise in the Stanley report, but will
differ with it's conclusions The findings
of the Stanley faction of the committee
Twill not be accepted by the republicans,
but some of the Legislation proposed in
the Stanley report will be indorsed
Representative Gardner of Massachu-
setts will resist the suggestion of
Chairman Stanley that the reports and
data gathered by the commissioner OF
corporations be made available to Con-
gress. He fears if the law is changed
the bureau of corporations will be un-
able 10 get information in the future
Representative Gardner will stand by
Representative Stanley on the bill
amending the Sherman act by putting
the burden on defendants to prove
that their combination is not .unrea-
sonable restraint" of trade Other re-
publicans will join with Representa-
tive Martin Littleton democrat, in op-
posing this bill.
Gardner Preparing Report.
Representative Gardner is at work on
the republican report He thinks all
the republican members will sign it,
although they may differ on its phrase
ology. 1t will be submitted to the
House after the report by Mr.. Stanley
is filed.
The republican views on the steel in
quiry have been more easily recon
ciled than those of the democrats and
the members of the minority are con-
legislation will be more acceptable to
the country.
The republican members will not
recommend the dissolution Of the steel
trust. They say that the committee
long ago decided that no move was to
be made to embarrasS the govern
ment's suit against the steel corpora
ton, and they will adhere to 1t.

present session of Congress will have be-
fore 1t the largest single item of infor-
nation that 1t has received since the

democrats and nearly all republicans
and the investigators will have to pre-
sent some fine legislation before they
escape criticism from some source or an
other
A fine lot of resolutions to start In
vestgations was sown several months
ago and many thousands Of dollars au-

dial legislation is recommended and
passed by Congress the public money
will have been spent for no purpose
other than to furnish campaign data for
the members of the investigating COM

elapsed since Representative Edwards

judiciary committee is Of the opinion that
1t could conduct this probe without the
adoption of the Edwards resolution but
1t is more than likely that no beef trust

Special Dispatch to The Star.
PHILADELPHIA, July 20.-Within
the next ten days leading Pennsy1va-
mia republicans look for the announce
ment by Senator Penrose Of the sue
cessful working out Of legal plan,
involving recourse to the courts,
whereby the Roosevelt electors on the
republican ticket in this state will be
displaced by bona fide Taft electors
Able constitutional lawyers are now
evolving this plan under the general
direction of President Taft and his
campaign managers. Contrary to a
popular impression, the Presidents
campaign managers in Pennsylvania
are not deferring final consid deration
of the electoral question until the
Finn Roosevelt controversy is settled.
The Taft plan with respect to the
electoral problem is to go right ahead
with all expedition possible. When
the details .of the court proceedings
necessary to bring about the displace
ment of the Roosevelt electors are
finally perfected, action will at once be
taken. regardless of what Finn and
Roosevelt may do, unless. of course,
the Roosevelt electors in Pennsylvania
.should make virtue -of necessity and
resign.
May Follow Kansas Plan.
While the details of the plan are not
yet ready. for publication. it is expected
that proceedings similar to those en-
ployed in Kansas the other day will be
availed Of This would indicate that
Secretary of the Commonwealth Nc
Afee would be enjoined and instructed
to take the Roosevelt electors off the
republican ticket.
A break between Finn and Roosevelt.
what might be called "a bolt from a
bolt" is foreseen even among the Finn
followers In Pennsylvania. Ziba T.
Moore of Philadelphia predicted the
other day that when the Pittsburgh
boss and the colonel met there would
be a warm time" Politicians think
that if by the success of the Taft plan
above outlined. Finn is forced to choose
between divorcing himself absolutely
from the republican party and bolting
from Roosevelt he will give up the
colonel and join the Penrose organiza-
tion.
View Of Mckinley.
Considerable illumination on the Finn
sentative William B. Mckinley of IL
linois when on his way to Atlantic City.
Mr.. Mckinley was the manager of the
Taft primary and pre-convention CAM
paign. He knows whereof he speaks in
affairs political. and, besides he knows
Finn of the Chicago convention.
Mr. Mckinley laughed over the prospect
Of Roosevelt taking orders from Finn
The illinois representative did not talk at
length, but what he said was decidedly
to the point.
DO YOU believe he was asked that
Finn, desiring to save his state ticket
above all else. would follow Roosevelt in
a thoroughly independent party in Penn
sylvania?''

do as he pleases in Pennsylvania Finn

The Zapatstas. said to number 800,

which exploded as the locomotive passed
over 1t. The overturned engine hardly
had settled when the Zapatistas sprang
up from all sides and poured a murderous
fire into the train
First the object of their attack was a
second-class coach. in which were riding
a federal military escort with a captain
and two lieutenants. The federals got
out of the car as quickly as possible and
answered the fire of the assailants, but
their efforts were futile. All of the COM
mand. with the exception of five wound
ed and two who escaped. were killed.
American Fatally Wounded.
Thirty passengers in the second class
coach were killed and many wounded. In
tine first-class coach no one was killed.
but five were dangerously wounded and
may die. The conductor. an American
named Aller. is not expected to live.
After the train had been swept by their
fire and few Of the passengers of crew
not killed or wounded. the Zapatistas
rushed upon their stricken victims and
began killing the wounded. A priest, un-
hurt. pleaded with De Loa, the rebel
leader to stop the slaughter and it
ceased.
Set Fire to Bodies of Dead.

ho oil fhn
and putting the bodies of the dead in
them. set fire to the train. When TIE re-
lief train arrived. there was nothing but
debris and few persons, most of whom

State Board OF Arbitration
Fails to- Render Its Report
After Inquiry.
Special Dispa atch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BOSTON, July O.-The striking en-
pioyes Of the Boston elevated railway
are disappointed tonight at the failure OF
the state board of arbitration to render
its report. which they confidently expect
will be against the company. With this
report in hand they had calculated that
the Central Labor Union, at tomorrow s
meeting. would vote to call general
strike throughout Greater Boston, in ac-
cord with the expressed wishes of most
Of If not all concerned.
Investigation Started.
Any independent action OF their own
is, however, evidently operating against
the railway men at this juncture. Their
counsel, James II. Vahey. has started the
district attorney upon a grand jury inves-
tigation of the strike. with view Of es-
establishing perjury on the part of wit
nesses before the arbitrators and also vio-
lation by the company OF the coercion act
and the Withholding of the arbitration
report Is ascribed to the fact that crimi-
nal proceedings preclude it from acting.
However, the feeling of the unionized
portion Of the community against the rail-
way Is intense and precipitate action may
quite likely be taken tomorrow.

1t was the first time in tie history OF
the United States that democrats or re-

to dash across the country and hail the
party standard bearer
The special train bearing the congress
men from Washington to Seagrt reached
here at O'Clock today. and the delegs-

Gov. Wilson met them half way down

raise the money by going to all the
editors of country newspapers in their
districts and getting them to start
campaign fund through popular sub
scription. They thought this scheme
should add at least half a million dol
lars to the fund. 1t might be even
more.
Representative Gregg of Pennsylva-
mia interrupted to say that Pennsyl-
vania was going for Wilson in Novem-

Real Difficulty of Politics.

1T seems to me that the real difficulty
of politics in our modern days is that
men have not laid their minds alongside
one another in having a common inter-
est in what they seek to do. You cannot
accommodate interests by having these
interests hold off and say. We are not
going into the common council. That
moment the fulfillment Of the common in
terest becomes almost impossible. You
cannot have that without common coun-
Gil.
You can, in 2 common partnership OF
council, bring all the people of the United
States into partnership with one another,
and therefore it is with particular pleas
ure that l welcome the OPP ortunity today
to meet YOU ] hope this is only the be-
ginning of long acQuaintanccship which
will be union i'm singularly high un-
dertaking.'

Mrs. Wilson had come out on the porch

Not Looking for Scandals.

The judiciary committee is one organ
ization that does not class itself as a
smelling committee looking for scandals
1t has the power to investigate all trust
propositions, with the exception of some
special matters, such as the money trust
and the steel trust Violations of the
Sherman antitrust law are it's special
province, beef trust or carpet tack trust,
or any other trust. If an inquiry into the
beef trust Is undertaken 1t will be for
the purpose of collecting information on
which laws or amendments may be based
However. the House has been jammed
fuli OF Inquiries and resolutions to
PROBE. and suggestions Of trusts and
scandals in high places. Dozens of reso-
lutions to uncover evil conditions have
been introduced. and several special in
vestigating commissions have been formed
of the committees of the House. It
would not be surprising IL every one of
them found some fault In the special field
In which 1t Is investiga ting, such as was
found by the latest committee to report
the committee on expenditures in public
buildings. 1t is simply an expression of
the late minority turned into the RAM
pant and dominant cry of the present
majority.
And now that the Investigations are
coming to conclusions the cool-headed
financiers and appropriation experts of
the House are asking what sort of RENE
dial legislation will be the outcome. What
good Will come OF these thousands of dol
lars spent? Every now and then a re-
publican will arise in his seat i'm the
House and hurl at the democrats the
charge that they have spent S1OO 600 or
more in Investigating. and have not I'M
covered a single wrong as yet Perhaps

Gov. Wilson's Response.

When Mr. Clark had finished speaking
and the cheering had died away the gov
ernor replied:
Mr.. Speaker and democratic majority
Of the House OF Representatives. II Is
with the greatest pleasure that | thank
you for this great courtesy you are pay
ing me in coming to see me at Seagirt
THE Speaker has said that those Pres
idents of the United States who have
not kept in close and intimate touch with
the two houses of Congress have been
unable to fulnll properly the duties they
owe to themselves and to the people.
This is only another way Of saving that
they lost the opportunity TO do more than
they have done. 1t seems TO me that the
real value of the House of Representa-
tives is not entirely consumed in its de-
liberations, but in those things that hap
pen outside the sessions when the mem
bers confer freely regarding the inter
ests and purposes OF their fellow-citi-
