Washington, Jan. 11.-Andrew Car

the house steel trust committee today
declared that the day of competition
had passed because of the ability of
manufacturers to fix and maintain
prices
Men," he said, "have been able to
sit down and agree to fix prices and
maintain them"
DO you believe that the situation
today destroys competition" he was
asked.
Certainly
THAT men in these corporations
meet somewhere today to fix and
maintain prices?"
Il think that is obvious"
Mr.. Carnegie was asked If he agreed
today with views he expressed two
years ago, urging government con-
troll of corporations and regulation of
prices.

swe4ed. Il believe the sesetnnlShs.
should regulate maximum prices"
Don't you think it an unfortunate
condition
81 think the time has arrived when
that is necessary and point to the
interstate commerce commission,
which has brought order, peace and
Justice out of chaos in the railroad
business"
Mr.. Carnegie gave the committee
several Illustrations Of his power to
get business when he was in the
steel market.
"Why, take rails, for instance" he
continued. 81 had many close friends
in the railroad business. I remember

said. 4 want the Union Pacific to d.
business with me and I'll give yol
the lowest price. He said all righl
Carnegie and I got the 10000 to-
contract. Now what's the use OF
corporation fighting against such a
influence as that?"
Mr.. Carnegie also related how h

) at time when Huntington was "har

Gardner becoming quite agitated en-
Mr.. Carnegie refusing to be tluste
ed.
After the colloquy, the witness r
peated his original contention, that h
believed $2s ton reasonao

time. Mr.. Carnegie reiterated h
I. tariff views. He declared that Il
steel industry needed no protecti'

Frank Chance is The Peerless Leader" to all America with w. J. B. just coming in sight around the bend. w. J. may be the last syllable when it comes to crown of thorns, but what does he know about first base? When it gets down to real peerless ness, Chance of Cook County has got the Lincoln leader lashed so tightly to the mast that he can't move an eyebrow unassisted and unabetted.
 Frank LeRoy Chance (honestly) was born in California, was catch CT on the Washington College team and in the winter time lives at Glen. dora, same state. From the first pro. team he was on-the Fresno (CaliforniaE sclub-he was picked up and derricked to the Chicago Cubs, where he still sits with one hand on the throttle, the other on the sand lever and the safety clutch between his teeth.
 He is one of the most superstitious men in baseball. but having 13 for his lucky number. When on a Pull man it would take straight jacket and a new cable to make him sleep anywhere except in lower 13; if the club gets a car with only twelve berths he writes 13 on the door and doubles up in the stateroom. He. re- fuses to change his shirt as long as the Cubs are winning; he's very firm about this and cannot be won over with either pleading or powder. After the budding bruins have had 8 lucky streak he has to remove his Cluett with a kneaded rubber eraser.

 Chance is the only man in the big league business who was ever elect ed captain of the team by the rest framed four National league diplo. mas. Besides that he has pasted up lot of other records for posterity.
 It's just as we'll the cold, unsparing truth be made public now as any time, for it must be remembered that bird cannot fly away from it's tail. Well, here it is, briefly and bluntly- Frank Chance is a D. D. s., but he is now trying to lead a noble and up right life! Every time you call him Doctor" he heats up in the palms and begins to talk about his two orange groves in California.
 A par. of his comfortable fortune has been made out of the groans of men, the cries of women and the shrieks of children, but he has thrown away his forceps for the ash stick and is honestly trying to bri1e pleas ure and sunshine into the world by rulling down flies instead of up mo- lars.
