aboard the United States collier Vulcan,
at anchor at Hampton Roads. was re-
ported by several fremen of that vessel
to-day to r. Balsa, an agent OF the

The firemen ALLEGED that tainted food
was served and that they were forced to
drink warm water when unable TO buy
beer. They charged that when they COM
planned of these conditions eight of their
number were thrown into the brig, which
was only large enough TO accommodate
two, and that on account of the terrific
heat yesterday two prisoners tainted.
Balsa said to-day that the ice which
should have been used to cool the drink
ing water was used for icing bottles Of
beer. These bottles. he asserted, were
sold to the hremen and oilers for Is cents
a bottles cents more than the price

MAY END STEEL TRUST.
Stanley Committee Approves
the Dissolution Suit.
APART ON OTHER POINTS
Republican Members Object to
Political Bias in Criticism
of Roosevelt's Policy.

rom ! ne tribune Bureau,
Washington. July 16.-At a second SON
ference OF the members OF the House

day the discovery was made that the en-
tire membership OF the committee proc
ably will agree upon one point-that the
United States Steel Corporation should 5e
the approval of the suit begun against the
steel trust by the administration.
Members of the committee are stIll far
apart on other findings and recommenda-
tons. Chairman Stanley and Representa-
tive Beall Democratic members Of the
committee, who are seeking to bring about
. unanimous majority report. said tley
would 60 TO New York tonight 10 consult
Representative Martin Littleton. an alb
sent majority member. Mr.. Littleton is
unable to come to Washington because
OF legal business in New York: hence Gis
colleagues Will go there to obtain Mr..
Littletons signature TO the majority
views-if Mr.. Littleton will sign the re-
port prepared by Mr.. Stanley
The three Democrats will thrash OYer
the Democratic report tomorrow, and ~
Mr. Littleton subscribes to the views Of
his colleagues the Stanley report will not
be delayed further. AS told I'm The Trio
une dispatches. the Democratic members
will recommend drastic remedial legisla-
ton, and will also roundly score EXPIRES
ident Roosevelt for permitting the absorp-
ton of the Tennessee Coal and Iron Com
pany. This latter criticism Is construed
by Republican members OF the committee
TO play politics and will not have the
sanction even OF those Republicans who
disapprovS OF the coloneTs third term.
Representatives Gardner and Danforth,
minority members. continued their efforts
to-day 10 bring about a unanimous minor
ity report which will not be so radical
in It's conclusions and recommendations.
Regret is expressed that after devoting
q year to the inquiry the majority OF ihe
committee has prepared report so raoi-
cal in It's nature that 1t cannot be signed
by the full membership and that a
minority report is necessary
IT developed to-day that the Stanley
steel probers are shy on their expense
account TO the extent OF about 5000.
When Mr.. Stanley last obtained an APP
preparation from the House he indicated
that IL would be sufficient TO wind up
the investigation" There appears TO be
now about 81 600 in outstanding bills, and
this amount will be requested. making
the total cost OF the investigation $500.
