IS PLENTY Of ORE,
GAYLEY DECLARES
STEEL TRUST HAS NO MONOPOLY
OF BULK OF 1T, HE TIES
TITLES.

NEW YORK. March Counsel
for the United States government fin
ished with James Gayley as a wit
ness in the suit to dissolve the United
States Steel corporation today. He
spent an hour under cross-eXamination
and will continue in the name role
on Monday morning.
The results obtained in the three
days from the vice-president of the
steel corporation and it's big technical
man seemed to please both Secretary
of War Dickinson and C.. A. Severance,
chief counsel on the opposing sides.
Today Mr.. Gayiey asserted that the
United States Steel corporation does
not hold any ore monopoly; that there
is plenty of ore in the world for any
cam pat Il they want il ri fffiii
Their that the corporation had never
gone as far as he had wanted ii to go
in acquiring ore reserves. He had al
ways insisted that the corporation
should acquire a surplus to last fifty
years.
Judge Dickinson asked him:
"As a matter of fact from April /.
1901, down To the time YOU retired in
1909, the United States Steel corpora
ton owned from IS to So per cent OF
the known available ore supply in the
Aesaba region"
Mr.. Gayley could not recall figures.
but he admitted Ghat II owned the
great bulk of ore in sight.
On the discrimination by Mr..
Severance the witness was asked
about ore monopoly. which Is ma
terial part of the case. Mr. Gayley
said the company never had q mo-
nopoly, which is a material part of
the case Mr., Gayiey said the com
pany never had O monopoly and never
wanted one.
rs there available ore left?" asked
Mr.. Severance.
Plenty of it all over the world"
was the answer Mr.. Gayley instanced
among other places, Cuba, where he
said there is more ore than in the en-
tire Mesaba district. His engineers in
yestigated. he said, and found / 600
600, tons of iron ore in the State
of Minas Geares, Brazil, when they
stopped. There are enormous deposits
in Texas, Utah, in California and in
other Western States"

HIS PARTNERSHIP
ENTANGLES CASE
PREV ENTED FROa RECOVERING
BECAUSE HE LET AGENT IN
ON DEAL

The federal Circuit Court of APP
peaIs yesterday reversed the District
court at Raleigh, n. C., in case in
yolvtng timber tracts in Robson,
Cumberland and Scotland counties,
that State.
The case dates back to 1905, when
W. n. Camp. OF Florida. bought the
timber from W. r. Bonsal. paying him
S3S 600 for nineteen-twentieth of it
The remaining purchasing money was
supposed TO have been paid by r. F..
Brewer, of Tennessee, who negotiated
the sale.
Later Camp entered suit in the Cir
cult court of Norfolk. Va charging
that the value OF the timber was far
below what it had been represented to
him by Brewer, and contained less
than half the number of feet 1t was
said to contain. He alleged that the
sale had been consummated by fraud,
and succeeded in obtaining a decree
In the Norfolk court resembling 1t.
However. the Virginia supreme Court
Of Appeals upset this decision on the
ground that Brewer should have been
party to the action.
Camp then instituted action in the
federal court at Raleigh in an effort
to get his money back, but that court
sustained a demurrer questioning its
jurisdiction.
The appellate court concludes its
opinion thus: We are of the opinion
that If the buyer shall prove his
charges, a final decree may be passed
which will not affect any interests Of
Brewer.
The case was appealed to this court
by executors OF Camp, who died
within the past year or two.

WOMEN BENEFIT BY
WIFE BEATING LAW

SAN FRANCISCO. March THE
practical operation of the State law
enacted two years age, imposing a Jail
sentence on wife heaters. with the
added penalty of requiring them to
work on the public roads. has led to
curious results. Many wives are now
using the new law to Jail husbands
for six months on the second and third
offenses and then collect $3.50 q day
for their maintenance.
This is about as much money as the
ordinary wifebeating variety of hus
bands would earn, anyhow, SO the
wives arc happy.
The numerous cases of wifeheating
that are coming 70 the attention OF the
judges have caused the judges to de-
eide TO sift each charge carefully
hereafter before sentencing culpyits
under the new law.
