.CHALFANT TELLSOF . STEEL AGREEMENTS If Member Exceeded His AL lOtment of Business He
 Was Fined

Pittsburg, October 29.--Henry Chalfant of the firm of Spang-Chalfant & Co.,. was the principal witness today in the inquiry of the government suit aiming at disso- lution of the United States Steel corpora tion which was resumed here unexpect- edly.
 MT. Chalfant was the first witness dur ing the entire investigation to testify positively that there were agreements be- tween steel manufacturers, which includ- ed a money penalty, for violation of the agreement. MT. Chalfant testified the agreement was in force from 1896 pre- vious to the formation of the United States Steel corporation, until 1906 MT. Chalfant said the organization was known as the 'association and it's pur- pose was to allot the boiler tube business to the various steel companies forming the association.
 He testified that 50 per cent of the business went to the National Tube company, subsidiary Of the United States Steel corporation. The meetings. Mir. Chalfant said, were held monthly at which time they discussed trade conditions and had golf parties and dinners. During these meetings 1t was decided that if any member had ex- ceeded his allotment of business he would be subjected to the penalty" which was small payment
 On. cross examination an attempt was made to have the witness testify that the small payment was only large enough to defray the expenses of the golf matches and dinners, but the witness replied, "it was more than that"
 He said there were no written agree

 was undoubtedly guilty; he had partici- | pated in a hold up, but the merciful heart
 of Judge Cooper was reached by tho i plea of the old convict and the boy was | sent to a reform school instead of the
 prison.
 | The name of Ben Lindsey of Colorado | has became a synonym for kindness and
 mercy, and justice if you please, for
 there can be no justice when the penal | ties of the law do not fall equally on
 the rich and the poor. Judge Lindsey on his elevation to the bench startled Dem | yer by the methods he adoptd in deal | ing with the petty offenders against the
 ordinances of that city. He dealt justly, 1 but his justice was tempered with the
 mercy that was always advocated by the | gentle Galilean. He has not only re- | formed the court, but the records of the
 tribunal over which he presided show
 the reformation of many of the petty of | lenders as well. Today he enjoys a world ! wide reputation as a leader in the hu- mane methods of dealing with those guilty of minor offenses, and Is a shining
 example of the efficiency of a ''merciful judge"
 That it is necessary sometimes to deal
 sternly with the violators of the law cannot be denied, and that sometimes the ! nature of the crime calls for the severest penalty It is also undeniable that for
 the habitual offender only heavy penal ties seem effectual. In every case the
 punishment should fit the crime. A first offense should be carefully con-
 sidered. for every criminal must have a
 first offense. A mans ability to pay
 should, in a measure. govern the extent of his fine.
 Many boys life has been wrecked for the want of little patience or rather leniency on the part of a judicial officer: ,, many wayward girl has been shorn of the remaining part of her better nature by the contamination of a filthy police
 cell or the brutal publicity of a police court
 It Is easy for the presiding judge to say '$50 and 90 days" but think what it means to the poor, friendless creature urraigned before the bar of justice beg ging not for freedom, but for leniency
 and mercy.
 The case of Judge Jeffreys is an ex- treme one and dates back many years. lut thank God there is more than one
 lsen Lindsey in the present day and time The name of Judge Jeffreys stands for all
 that Is cruel and unjust and oppressive but wherever and wheneveG the name of Judge Lindsey is mentioned 1t stands for equal justice and human sympathy and that tender mercy that predominated the life of the Master.
 Some one has said that the only just
 judge was he who had spent month in jail as a prisoner. This might not be
 a good recommendation for a judge, but it would certainly broaden his views on
 the question of punishment,
