NO. MORE SECRET MEETINGS.
U. S. Steel Corporation So Voted at Ses-
sion in New York.

New York May "a T. II. Gary, tn,
chairman OF the u. S. Steel corporation
| quoted President Wilson at the annua
meeting of the American Iron & Stee
| institute, to-day, as saying that honesty
had nothing to fear from the Democratic
administration and added: Let us ac'
cept that statement as coming from
President Wilson to mean Just what he
said, and let us feel assured"
When Judge Gary took his seat, a mo-
ment later, resolution calling for pub
lie meetings of the institute hereaft
instead Of executive sessions, was intro
duced and unanimously adopted. Sew
eral of the so-called "Gary dinners at
which the government alleges the price
of steel and iron was fixed by manufac-
turers, were held under the institutes
auspices, and all meetings heretofore
have been secret.
Judge Gary in his talk alluded to what
he called "the disposition OF legislative
bodies to tinker with questions they are
not very well prepared to discuss or de-
eide" mentioning particularly the pass
age of laws which he said would caleu-
late to produce classes.
II think, for instance" he continued,
"the proposal to assess the incomes of
men who have incomes of more than
$4,000 and eNempting the incomes Of
those who receive less than $4,000 per

And There Body of Mrs. Ell
mer Chubb of Hardwick
Was ,Tound
VIZ : L OF HOME
- CARES TOO HEAVY.
| She Had Committed Suicide
by Drowning During
Last Night

Hardwick, May 24.-After search
nearly all night, the body of Mrs. Elmer
Chubb OF this town was found in the
Lamoille river at 4:30 o'clock, it being
considered without doubt case OF sui
eide.
The woman's actions yesterday caused
her aged father, Merrill X. Hall, to go
to his daughters room at 10 o'clock
last night, only to find that the room
was vacant. Then the members OF the
family started a search through the
house and barn, but could find no trace
OF the woman. The search being widen
ed, they found the body in the river
about fourth of mile down the street
from the house, which rs located on the
so-called river road between Hardwick
and Wolcott.
Mrs. Chubb had appeared despondent
for some time. She had managed the
farm for her parents, both of whom
were too far advanced in years to take
much part in the work, and besides that
she had cared for four small children.
Her husband is a chauffeur in Boston.
and it evidently had been Mrs. Chubbs
desire to 60 to that city but was de-
tanned by the pressure of home duties,
and for financial reasons.
Mrs Chubb leaves the relatives above
her aged parents, her hus-
band and four small children. She was
3S years of age.

the scene Of much color and glory last

and enjoyable program.
Instead of the customary mixed pro-
grams, they launched into minstrelsy
and did remarkably well. Much of the
credit falls on Mr.. Cummings, who has
been training the chorus for some time.
The chorus was noticeably strong and
well balanced. most of the circle being
members of the glee club. For an hour
and a half the colored end men en-
tertained the audience with their cross
fires and jokes on the student body.
The music last evening was some
what better than on former occasions,

Over 5000 White Railway
Mail Clerks File Peti-
tion Of Objection
SOMETIMES WHITES
BOSSED BY NEGROES
Postoffice Department Con-
fronted by a New Com
plication

Washington, d. c., May 24.-The race
question was put squarely up to Post
master General Burleson to-day in pc
tition signed by more than 5000 railway
mail clerks, urging the segregation of
white and negro employees in the service.
The petition contends that from fifteen
to twenty clerks often work on the
same run and that white clerks are at
times outnumbered by negroes. and in
some instances the whites are subject to
the jurisdiction of negro superiors. On
long runs, members of the two races
frequently have TO share the same sleep
ing quarters, the petitioners claim.
