ADMITS POOL
IN ARMOR PLATE
Steel Price Understanding as
Result Of Gary Dinners
COREY TESTIFIES AT HEARING

That Tennessee Coal and Iron Was
Absorbed Because of Threatened
Competition Is Corey's Testimony.
William Ellis Corey, former presi-
dent OF the United States Steel cor
poration at the hearing of the steel
suit told of the inside workings of the
big corporation and of the Carnegie
company.
During the course of his examination
Mr.. Corey confirmed the government
contention:
First-That as the outcome of the
famous Gary dinners subcommittee
were appointed for each branch of the
iron and steel industry, consisting of
steel trust and Independent manu-
facturers, which subcommittee came
to an understanding as to output and
prices.
Second-That the armor plate manu-
facturers of the world had another
such understanding as did the inter-
national steel rail makers as to the
share of each country in a neutral
market
Third-That the Tennessee Coal and
Iron company before its acquisition by
the steel corporation was a very live
ly competitor with a decided ad-
vantage because of its open hearth
furnaces for steel rails and began to
take contracts away from the big cor
poration along in 1903 until it was
said plainly that "We are up against
it hard
In all it's understandings the cor
poration managed to have independ-
ents base their prices on Pittsburg
with freight added to the point of de-
livery, no matter where the purchase
might be made.
Mr.. Corey established, with the as
sistanee of Judge Dickinson that he
was pretty much of an insurgent in
the steel corporation from the start
He appeared to be on record against
about everything advocated by f. II.
Gary and the Frick interests So
called
He wanted to fight the Union and
Sharon companies, in which Mr.. Frick
was a large stockholder, instead of
placating and buying them out. He
was fatty opposed to the understand
ings and agreements that came out OF
the Gary dinners.
He fought the celebrated Hill ore
leases of Wisconsin which took great
body of Gre out of the competitive
market on the ground that the terms
were bad and the price demanded
twice too high. He was not in favor
of the international steel rail or armor
plate agreements and seemed to be in
favor of an open competitive market
and the survival of the fittest to pre-
vail The minutes showed, however,
that Mr. Corey usually failed to win
at the meetings.

GETS DIVORCE; PAYS MILLION
Both Thompson and Former Wife Can
Marry Again.

Josiah " Thompson, the well
known coal and coke operator and
banker of Uniontown, Pa, was granted
a divorce from Blanche A. Thompson
by Judge R. f. Umbel The decree
is special one, by the terms of which
Thompson pays Mrs, Thompson ST.
100000 and each party to the suit has
the right to marry again. The testi-
mony in the case has not yet become
a matter OF public record.
Thompson, who is ffty-eight years
of age, and his wife, who is about
forty-one, have not lived together for
two years, although Mrs. Thompson
has occupied part OF the Thompson
home here periodically during that
time. She has been making her home
at hotel in New York.
Thompson filed his petition on May
last before Judge Umbel, sitting in
chambers. On June 20 a special hear.
ing was held before Judge Umbel. 1t
is understood that Mrs. Thompson
made no defense beyond the answer
which she filed to the petition.

LOCAL OPTION
PEOPLE BUSY
House VIII Pass Bill Is Claim
Of MOuIthrOp

the house law and order committee
says that the local option bill will not
be introduced for some time. The
liquor interests are in a hurry to have
it put to vote, as they think the
longer the question is delayed the
stronger the local optionists will be-
come. Moulthrop said:
1--WE are finding recruits for the bill
every day. There are a large number
of members pledged to loca! option,
while many Legislators have made no
promises on either side. 1t is with
the latter class we are working and
converts are being made. | am salts
fed that the house will pass the bill.
ut has not been definitely decided
what unit will be placed in the bill,
but the indications point to the selec-
tion of the county as the unit instead
of the borough, township and ward"
Mr.. Moulthrop intends to introduce
= piece OF legislation which probably
will draw the fire of the school book
trust. He proposes to have the state
print it's text books for use in the
schools. He said.
81 know of no greater source of graft
in some localities than the purchase
of school books. With the state print
ing the books the schools would get
the books that they need and at honest
prices. The commonwealth could buy
the copyright privileges where a copy
righted text book is better than some
other publication on the same sub
ject"
The legislature is beginning to talk
about the failure of the suffragettes
to put in a bill. The legislative ma
chine has been in operation for sew
eral days, but nothing has been heard
from the women.
The antis have been on the job.
The members are receiving COM
munications and literature showing
that suffrage is a bad thing. The
legislators are reading many, what is
worse for the suffragettes some of
them are being convinced. Two DEM
ocratic members, Harry Cochran of
Fayette and Peter McDermott OF
Clearfield, announced their opposition
to votes for women.
When the suffrage legislation does
appear it may not be in the form of a
constitutional amendment. There is
disposition to have the question re-
ferred to the women of the state for
a vote. If majority decides in the
affirmative then the constitutional
amendment would follow.
James Keegan of Fayette county is
preparing to offer the amendment
which the liquor interests have used
before in an attempt to defeat local
option. He will try to have the local
option bill amended so that in each
county that goes dry the county must
reimburse the liquor dealers for their
financial loss.
1t is probable that the highway de-
partment will endeavor to have the
law amended so that every driver of
an auto must be examined and
licensed. The Pennsylvania Motor
federation is opposing this and it will
fight the proposed examination fea-
ture. The motorists will try to force
all vehicles to carry front and back
lights at night.

Revolution Surprises constantinopIe.


Although the instability of the cabi-

recognized the revolution which
brought Mahmoud Shevket into power
has taken everybody in Constantinople
by surprise.
The embassies received the news
with great disappointment, as it had
been believed that peaceful settle.
ment was certain. There was a
violent slump on the bourse, as it was
feared there would be renewal of the
war. Nobody knows precisely what
the attitude of the new cabinet will be
toward the powers.
The following account is now given
of what happened when the resigna
ton of the Kiamil cabinet was forced
When the demonstrators, headed by
Enver Bey, forced their way into the
grand vizierate they tried to enter the
council chamber but were stopped by
Nafiz Bey, the aid OF Kiamil Pasha,
who brandshed a revolver and fired
one shot. The revolutionists replied,
fatally wounding Natiz Bey
Captain Tewfik Bey, a nephew anu
aid of Nazim Pasha, the Turkish COM
mander-in-chief, then fired a shot and
wounded Mohamed Nodjlf, one of the
demonstrators, and was shot dead.
Nazim Pasha, on hearing the shoot
ing, rushed from the council chamber
and began to upbraid the revolution
aries, calling them i'll hammered ours,
but another shot from the latter struck
Nazim Pasha, who fell dying. An agent
of the secret police and an attendant
of the Sheik- Ul-Islam were also killed.
These were the only fatalities.
The Young Turk leaders expressed
regret over the killing OF Nazim
Pasha. They say it was quite unin-
territorial although in the excitement
it was unavoidable. His abilities and
frank character were respected even
by his political enemies.

RESUMPT PTION OF
WAR INEVITABLE
That's Feeling Among Delegates
TO London Conference
POWERS MAY ENTER ON SCENE
Censored Dispatch From CONSTANT.
nople Gives Account of Demonstra.
tion Which Ended in Assassination.

Confirmation from London sources
OF the news of the complete revulsioD
of feeling in Constantinople against
the proposed surrender OF the allies
has created the impression among the
peace delegates that war will begin
again almost Immediately.
There are, however, two currents of
opinion among the representatives of
the Balkan league. One of these is in
favor of asking Sir Edward Grey, as
honorary president of the peace con
ference, Immediately to conyoke ses.
sion of the delegates at which the re-
sumption of hostilities will be de-
clared. The other urges that the
powers first should be allowed to deal
with Turkey.
The view here is that the reply OF
Turkey to the note Of the powers must
be awaited before drastic action can
be taken.
Lack of information as to the real
meaning and scope of the movement in
Constantinople precludes peremptory
action.
In the meanwhile the representa-
tives of Greece, Servia and Montene,
gro are asking their respective gov
crnments to authorize them to break
off negotiations whenever they con
slider the moment opportune, as has
been done already by Bulgaria.
The delegates consider that the re-
sumption of the war in the course of
next week is almost inevitable, even
if the powers should agree on active
Intervention.
The new Turkish cabinet has decid-
ed to recall the Ottoman peace dele.
gates from London, according to dis
patch from Constantinople The Tur-
kish government is said also to have
requested its ambassadors at Vienna
and st. Petersburg to return to the
Turkish capital.
Italian, British and other warships
have been ordered to proceed immedi.
ately to Turkish waters, according to
dispatches from Mediterranean ports.
