sted, who in 1903 organized in New
York $15,0O0,00O steel company with
the, purpose of fighting the United

petition in bankruptcy in the United
States District Court. He gave his
liabilities as $1,551, $50, and his assets
as $210 in household furniture.
The liabilities included money bor-
rowed to finance the company. 1t is
said the late United States Senator, A.
]. McLauren of Mississippi lost $4O,-
900 in the company.

chased by the United States Steel Cor

from banks and trust companies in
many cities. but the plan proved a

sion and conviction of those guilty of
this crime; upon the alternate in

and into causes which will rise to
systems Of blackmail and graft, and
to propose remedies by which these
causes may be removed; and upon the
citizens and officials having informa-
