RECREATIONS
SKATING TRIO
ARE SOME ACT

The Walstein Trio are Che hit Of the
Bijou bill These three clever roller
skaters opened at this theater last
night and instantly won appreciation
from a large audience. Tut Cleverness
is not the prcdominating note in the
trio's act. One of them Is a clown
that causes merrimcnt supreme, one
small boy in the audience at the first
show last night becoming so amused
that his laugh rang out loud above that
of the adults present. and consequent
ly the clown had to divide attention
with the little chap. But It Is prob.
able there were many grown.ups there
to whom the clown seemed just as
funny. The clown does the expected
on the skates -- he falls down - and
then spins around like mechanical
manikin. The other two skaters are
just as entertaining in their difficult
Gct, doing skating, dancing and spin
ming. Although in the skilled skating
the clown shows he is no SLOUGH, as
instance he jumps three chairs with
a single leap and comes back with a
woe.begone smile to receive the ap.
plauso of the audience. It's good act
and the amusement company viii I'M
doubtedly find It good crowd-getter.

Mr.. MUNSEY EXPLAINS
Steel Corporation Gave Figures
for His Article.

Washington March 29.-Frank 4. Mum
sey. the publisher. appeared before the
Steel investigating committee to-day to
furnish the sources Of information on
which he bases a magazine article on the
United States Steel Corporation published
I'm 1905. Mr. Munsey the last witness
but one who will he heard. DR. J. 6.
Grasty, a Eeologist of the University OF
Virginia. will testify tomorrow.
Mr. Munsey said he did not believe in
campaign contributions, but occasionally
made them. He suggested that the gov
eminent ought to bear tho expenses of
national campaigns. He advocated more
definite legislation affecting business prob
lens He also believed there should be
physical valuation of railroads and that
great industrial corporations should not be
allowed to own railroad properties
Referring 10 his magazine article in
which he valued the holdings of the Steel
CORPORATION at $l,7S2,1S7,3S}, Mr. Munsey
said the figures had been supplied by the
Steel Corporation people themselves, and
he used them on the theory that he was
not an expert In steel matters and the Of
ficials Of the corporation We're.
II based my estimate also" said Mr..
NIunscv. upon talks with many other men
interested in the steel business, and with
Charles NJ. Schwab. John W. Gates and
others who were not then in the Steel Cor
poration.'
In his article Mr.. Munsey said that the
ore holdings OF the Steel Corporation were
worth 60 cents ton. This figure was based
largely on the value Of the ore properties
leased from ]. J. Hill. He was asked
,bou, his estimate Of slO5.C00ooo as the
vain. Of the ore holdings OF the Tennessee
coal and Iron Company. That valuation,
6f,urcd at T. cents ton, he said. was also
hosod on the terms Of the Iiill lease.
Although pressed by the committee Mr..
>,unsev at first declined TO disclose the
idontitv Of a director Of the Steel Corpora
ton ouoted IN his article as saying that
bo would not sell the ore properties ac-
,,,,irad under the Hill lease for SO0Oo,cp.
a,.r he reluctantly gave the name OF
I.oorea +. Baker, still director of the
corporation
Had the government controlled our nat
.,..r resources there would have been no
r-ritod States Steel corporation, no stand
,rd oil Company. no Andrew Carnegie no
T,t,r u Rockefeller" Mr. Munsey said. lie
.,,,ocested that the government condemn
oaIural resources If feasible.
