REDEEM INSURANCE

Carried by Madero
and Others

Mexico City March THE money to
redeem the life Insurance policies car
ried by the late President Madero and
ex-Vice President Suarez is ready to be
paid over to the beneiciaries as soon as
proof of their death is established. In
each case the widow is the sole beneficiary
but thus far no effort has been made to
submit the required proofs
President Madero carried $4,000 gold in
insurance and Senior Suarez $4,000 gold
Policies to the value of $4,000 on Ma
dero's life are carried In two New York
companies and $4,000 in a Mexican COM
pany. One-half of the total of Suarez' :
policies was written in New York and
the other half In this country
General Gregorio Ruise. who was exc
cuted in the palace here by order of
Madero for taking part in the revolution
against the government, carried policy
of $4,000 gold in a New York company
It is estimated that Senior Suarez owed
more than 7O,0Oo pesos. He left his widow
nothing but his insurance. During the
bombardment of the city Sonora Suarez
was compelled to borrow money from a
neighbor it is said, in order to purchase
food. Sonora Suarez left Vera Cruz yes
terday for Havana.
The military justice charged with inves-
tigating the killing of Madero and Suarez
today submitted his report. 1t consists
of 1852 typewriter pages, but the public
will receive only a brief statement of
the findings, which probably will be in
accordance with the official statements
already issued.

had been made to suffer on his ac-
count He was induced to withdraw
the resignation later. but not until
there had been a general discussion OF

that if he had been informed that any
other person desired the honor he
would have withdrawn from the race
Senator Tillman spoke at some
length, charging Mr.. Bacon's defeat to
the Incorporate desire on the part OF
some senators to do away with the
established customs of the Senate by
retiring the older men In the interest
of the new. He found in Senator Ba-

GAIN MONOPOLY
Gayley Again on the Stand
in Steel Trust
Probe

New York. March 7.-Denial of any
intent on the part of the United States
Steel corporation to get a monopoly Of
iron ore was voiced by James Gayley,
former vice president of the corpora
tion. on the witness stand today in the
government's suit to dissolve the So
called trust.
"The question of monopoly never
entered my head Mr.. Gayley testified
MY whole ambition was to see that
the corporation had supply of ore for
a long term of years as a matter of
self protection"
The witness added the monopolization
never was subject of discussion
among the mon with whom he was as
sociated. Not only had the corporation
not created a monopoly in the Lake
Superior region, he said. but it has
left untouched vast ore regions in the
Adirondacks and in Nova Scotia, Cuba
and Brazil. In Cuba, he declared, there
is more iron ore than in the whole lake
region. The witness referred also to ore
deposits on the Pacific and gulf coasts
and in Wisconsin.

MANY WITNESSES IN
HARVESTER PROBE
The Defense to Show No
COercive Methods
Used

Omaha, Neb, March IA variety of
witnesses, dealers, farmers, newspaper
men, undertakers and general merchan-
disc merchants, all connected in various
ways with the sale or purchase of har-
vester machinery. were on the stand to-
day in the defense of the International
Harvester company to the government
suit for alleged violation Of the Sherman
antitrust law.
OF the witnesses called by the defense,
some had vigorously opposed the COM
pany for some time after its organiza-
ton. Among these was Theodore Coffey,
but he admitted on cross examination
that he had refused to handle Inter-
national goods for four years after the
merger, but had learned l could not
conduct successful business without
doing so.''
Arthur Decou, with business of $SO,oO0
a year, believed the merger was a good
thing for the dealer and consumer.
Coffey detailed the experiences of a big
dealer in harvesting machinery in the
suit of the government against the Inter-
national Harvester company, charging
violation of the Sherman ANTITRUST law.
Mr.. Coffey testified that he had fought
the International for four years after its
formation, because 1t tried to force upon
him an exclusive contract.
On cross examination witness admitted
that four years. of the fight made It
plain to him he could not do a successful
business without the international line
and he took it on without making an ex-
elusive contract. The evidence of other
witnesses went to show that the de-
fendant did not use coercion with dealers
nor attempt to fix retail prices.
]. d.. McHugh Of the counsel for the
defense said he believed 10 days more
would be required to hear witnesses who
have been called here. Incidental to the
present suit, the garnering of evidence
