ANTI TRUST SUIT
HEARING RESUMED
Steel Corporation Owns But
Thirty Per Gent. of Deposits
in United States

NEW YORK, Oct. Hearings in
the antitrust suit of the government
against the United States steel cor
poration were resumed before Ex-
aminer Henry p. Brown, of Phila-
delplia. at the corporations Offices,
IL Broadway. today
The case has been under way since
October &c, 1911. when the complaint
was filed at Trenton. The sessions
were suspended last June until today.
A geologist, a mining engineer. and
an iron field explorer, were put on
the witness stand today to show the
amount OF the iron ore deposits in this
country. and Brazil. and to ascertain
what proportion of these we're con-
trolled by the steel corporation. The
result OF today's testimony was de-
cidedly favorable to the corporation,
1t was shown that the corporation
controls barely thirty per cent of the
deposits in the iron ore districts in the
northern central part Of the United
States. that there is sufficient ore not
under their control which could easily
be acquired to form another large
steel corporation. and that there are
vast deposits in Brazil which could be
marketed in this country at a COM
netting price

Official Circles in Washington
However, Have Received No
Official Announcement

WASHINGTON. Oct. 1.-The reports
from Toxic. that the Japanese govern
ment is sending a new note in the Cali
fornia alien land law controversy,
caused much surprise IN official circles
here today. inasmuch as the last note
received from Japan has not yet been
answered by the state department
No official announcement that the
note is coming has been received at
the state department from the Ameri =
can embassy at Toxic. At the Japa-
nese embassy here IL was said that
nothing was known in regard TO the
new note
learned that there is good reason to
believe that Japan Is contemplating a
request for the negotiation of a new
treaty which would completely alter
the face OF the situation between the
two governments According to this
source. Japan desires that the United
States negotiate an agreement which
shall state specifically that Japanese
shall enjoy the same rights of owner
ship of land In the United States as all
other aliens of whatever nationality.
The immediate effect OF such re-
quest would be to raise the direct and
fundamental issue as to whether or
not the federal government OF the
United States is or is not, In favor of
permitting Japanese to acquire and
own land in this country.

HAS PROVEN CASE
AGAINST GOVERNOR
Falsity of Election Statement
and Five Other General
Charges Clearly Shown

ALBANY, N. Y, Oct Your
correspondent learned tonight from
counsel for the impeachment man
ayers that they believed they have
proved the following points. includ-
ing all Of the Impeachment articles:
/. That the falsity of Governor Sui
zer's election statement. and the oath
in connection herewith, is proved be
yond the shadow of doubt. not only
by reason of the large number and
amounts of contributions unreported,
but by unControvertihle evidence of
his personal solicitation of the con-
tribut;ons themselves. and the re-
celpt of them in his own hands
2. That there has been proof be
yond reasonable doubt. Of systematic
conceaiment of the contributions, not
only by the way he disposed of them
through devious channels, but by rea-
son Of his continued requests for
cash or checks to the order Of some
one other than himself
Malice Aforethought.
3. That ne not only used, but in
tended to convert the same to his
own use, contributions given only for
political expenses of his personal cam
paign. to buy or speculate In stocks,
using Herewith also stocks and de-
vices to conceal the existence OF such
investments and speculations
d. That he has been driven from
pillar TO post. from one form of de-
NAL or admission 10 another. all of
which have so far been proved to be
false. and that as a last resort for the
purpose Of either concealing his acts
or preventing his Impeachment he has
used his office as governor and his
power as such and every other means
at his command to prevent giving OF
true testimony and TO urge the giving
of false testimony. as shown by the
evidence of witnesses thereto.
Battered His Power.
s. That Incidental to these facts
thus established. and for the purpose
of preventing hts political downfall,
or preserving his political future, he
has bartered or sought to barter his
power as governor in pretended at
lacks on Wall Street, and Its systems.
while interested or pretudiced him
