LONDON, May 20.-Society mat
rons and maids were gasping today
over the unvarnished criticism of the
dancing seen in some OF London s
best houses" by a letter writer to the
Times, calling herself "peeress."
The letter complained that the
"peeress' was one OF those matrons
upon whom devolved the task Of guild
ing girls through the London season
and she frankly referred TO the turkey
trot and the tango as the horrors OF
the American and South American
negroid orgies" They are "travesties
upon dancing" which for the first time
in the writer's life, she said, were
bringing TO parties more young men
than are needed"
The letter concluded:
Il would only ask hostesses to let
one know what houses to avoid by IN
dicating in some way on their invita-
ton cards whether the turkey trot,
the Boston (he beginner OF the eviD,
and the tango will be permitted"

Gettysburg Reunion

LANSING, Mich. May 20.-Five
thousand dollars must be raised by
popular subscription If all the sur
vivors Of the battle Of Gettysburg who
reside In this state are to attend the
Gettysburg reunion. The approprfa.
ton OF $4,000 for the purpose OF pro-
viding transportation for the veterans
will be too small, because Of the fact
that the railroads are charging a high
er rate than was anticipated at the
time the money was asked for.
Gen. George w. Stone, chairman or
the Gettysburg commission. says that
while 1t will not beg for money, the
commission will be glad to receive
contributions from all citizens dis
posed to give. In the event that more
money is contributed than will be
needed to make up the deficit. the re-
mainder will be divided pro rata
among the contributors.

steel corporation. Charles M. SchwaD.
who was recalled to the stand today,

rails before the formation of the cor
poration, but declared he could not
Identify any of those mentioned by
Dickinson.
Schwab said formation OF pools
was not a part OF his work as he was
essentially an operating man with
the Carnegie Steel company"
Another admission made reluctant
ly by Schwab. was that in 1898, the
Carnegie Steel company refrained
from making girder rails for a con-
sideration, paid by competitor. He
added that the mill was too large to
roll girder rails economically. unless
expensive changes were made. Schwab
said the Carnegie company had spent
$4,000 for new rolls and later re-
ceived 100000 from the Girder Rail
Manufacturing association for re-
framing from making girder rails
during 1898. which was three years
before the steel corporation was or
ganized.
Schwab then related how the earn a.
gle company turned down an offer
from foreign rsil makers who wanted
the American company to stay out OF
the foreign market The witness told
also OF how Andrew Carnegie refused
to engage in an attempt to organize
selling company to market the pro-
ducts OF the Carnegie. Lackawanna.
