DIRECTORS OF THE
ATLANTA BALL CLUB
HERE YESTERDAY

The directors of the Atlanta ball club
spent yesterday In Birmingham, but were
forced to return to the Gate City last
evening.
There are few more popular men about
the circuit than the Atlanta trio. Frank
E. Galloway a prominent attorney. we'll
known in Birmingham, is the president
of the club. A. J. Ryan and c. J. Nun
nally are the other members of the di-
rectorate.
Mr. Ryan has been so busy all his life
collecting rents that he has never done
any real hard work. This fact however,
had not detracted from his collection
OF excellent qualities. He is a leader
among men and of germans. and withal
is an unexcelled judge of thoroughbred
horse flesh. Mr. Nunnaly has manufac-
tured overalls until he has accumulated
enough money to meet the gigantic pay
rolls of the Atlanta baseball clubs. He
is a leader in all the good things in At
lanta, and one of the most popular men
of that city.
The Atlantans and Judge Kavanaugh
were entertained yesterday by Mr.. Wood
ward and Mr.. Baugh.

New York, June 9.-Testimony by
Judge Elbert II. Gary chairman of the
United States Steel corporation, that the
corporation had turned over to the gov
ernment ''all it's records was stricken
out today in the suit to dissolve the cor
poration as an Illegal combination. The
testimony had to do with minutes of the
Carnegie Steel company, upon which
Judge Gary was being cross-examined.
81 suppose you have these minutes be-
cause when you asked me or some one
else for all records, we turned over ev-
erythink to you without even looking at
IT. said Judge Gary.
At this Judge Jacob M. Dickinson.
attorney for the government. threw up
his hands as if in surprise.
81 don't want to get into discus
sion with you ON that subject" he said.
"I would suggest" said r. v. Linda
bury attorney for the corporation, that
the remark of the witness be stricken
from the record
"Yes, strike it from the record said
Judge Gary.
The subject was then abruptly dropped
and efforts of newspaper men to learn
the reason or the action were unavail-
ing. The minutes in question indicated
that at various times during the early
history of the corporation directors of
the Carnegie Steel company, a subsidiary
had advised that the company buy pig
iron, in order to sustain it's price and
prevent demorilization in the prices of
furnished steel products.
Judge Dickinson wanted TO know
whether the witness considered such ac-
ton in accord with the corporation S
policy of fostering competition which
Judge Gary had testified had been pur-
sueds since its organization

years, sometimes they did act without
the knowledge of the United States Steel
corporation officials.
1T has been stated here in the tes-
timony that in earlier years there was
some disagreement between myself and
some other officials concerning ques-
tions of policies That grew out of the
fact that Mr.. Schwab and Mr.. Corey
tformer presidents of the corporation)
had been brought up in the steel busi :
ness under different circumstances and
had notions which were not in accord
with known notions of those who con-
trolled the United States Steel corpor-
alton"
Judge Gary said he did not consider
conversations that the Carnegie direc-
tors had in earlier years natural or
proper minutes of a board of directors,
"and | did not suppose they were put
ting into what they called minutes
conversations like you produced here"
THE fact is, you did not know what
they were doing, as shown in the min
utes, did you?"
About 1904 Judge Gary said he began
taking very active steps to eradicate
everything he believed wrong and not
In accord with what were the deter
mined policies of the Steel corporation
from the beginning.
Passage From Minutes
A passage from the minutes of the
executive committee of the corporation
in 1901 put in evidence by the govern
ment spoke of ways and means to in
fiuence the Standard Oil company to
buy supplies from our companies"
Judge Gary did not recall the meet
ing but said he thought the youn;y men
who recorded the minutes did not cor
rect1y report what had been said"
Judge Dickinson read another min
ute dated August, 1902. which quoted
Vice President Bohe of the Carne gle
Steel company as saying that the Amer
ican Tinplate company. another sub
sidary, proposed to make cut in
prices, (which tits anticipated, will pu.
80 per cent of it's competitors out of

Il consider such statements very
foolish and not based on facts" said
Judge Gary. Mr.. Bohe at the present
time would be ashamed of that Ian
guage.'
