undisturbed Alarms were turned In to

Myers, the owner OF the place that
burned, could not be found at late hour

NEW YORK, May 2s.-Judge FL
bert II. Gary, chairman Of the United
States Steel corporation and the man
who conducted many OF the negotia-
tions which led to it's organization, de-
clared on the witness stand today that
neither he nor the late J. p Morgan
NOT anybody else concerned had ever
discussed during these negotiations the
question Of obtaining a monopoly in
the steel industry or of suppressing
competition. Judge Gary was testi-
flying as witness for the defense in
suit to dissolve the corporation un-
der the Sherman antitrust law.
The witness spent the entire day
in a recital OF the circumstances which
led to the formation of the corpora
tion and endeavored to show that the
sole purpose that actuated its organ
izers was to obtain ga rounded out,
elf-contained proposition, complete IN
every phase of manufacture, from the
mining Of ore to the production of di-
versified finished products in the mills,
with the ability to reduce costs to the
most economical basis. -
"Our aim,' he said eniphatically,
"has been to extend trade and to fos-
ter competition and we have done
that"
With equal emphasis Judge Gary de-
MED that the steel corporation had
been overcapitaized as alleged by the
government. The various properties
acquired "were all worth the price
that was paid for them," he declared

TO FIX VALUE ON
IMPORTED GOODS

Washington, D. c., May 10..An
amendment to the tariff bill to author
ize the secretary CT the treasury to
proclaim values of imported goods for
the purpose of assessing advalorem
tariff duties, irrespective of fiuctuating
foreign markets, thereby approximat-
ing the advalorem system to the ad-
vantage of specific duties, was propos-
ed today to- Chairman Simmons Of the
finance committee by Assistant At
toTney General Dennison and Assistant
Secretary Curtis.
Both leaders looked upon the pro-
rosal with interest, and the tariff bill
may accordingly be amended in the
finance committee before it enters the
senate for debate. The president has
been apprised such an amendment
would cut down litigation, take much
work from the board of appraisers,
and it is believed by is proponents
to be absolutely necessary for the sue
cessful working Of the advalorem tar
III bill.

GLOVER CRILLED
FOR HIS ASSAULT

Washington, D. c., May 1O-Charles
c. Glover, the Washington banker,
who recently attacked Representa-
tive Sims of Tennessee on account of
a speech delivered in the house, was
brought before the bar of the house
late-y yestsEdaEsS s>FeP44HeAAed .by
Speaker Qlari efSfielating the priv.
leges 6f the hoRe.$ $-A- resolution au-
thorising the bankers arrest had been
adopted a few minutes before, with
only four dissenting votes.
When brought in by the sergeant at
arms, Glover read an apology, saying
that his act was committed under
great stress of feeling, that he did not
know he was affronting the house.
This was the first time in nearly 40
years that an outsider had been ar
raigned before the house for con-
tempt. The assault occurred in Far
ragut square on April IS, when
Representative Sims and Mr. Glover
met for the first time after the former
had made a speech in the house, .se-
vereIy criticising Mr.. Glover in CON
nection with the proposed sale of GER
tain District of Columbia real estate
to the government.
During the debate on the report of
the committee which Investigated the
incident, Mr. Glover waited in the of
fee of the sergeant al arms. He was
brought in as soon as the resolution
was passed and arraigled before the
speakers rostrum. When asked
whether he desired to make a defense
and be represented by counsel, the
banker admitted the facts as reciJed
in the resolution, but earnestly dis
claimed any intention of violation of
the privileges of the house
81 express deep regret and offer my
apology" he concluded.
Then Representative Crisp of GeoT-
gia offered a resolution authorizing
the reprimand. He urged that repri-
mands always had been the penalty
in such arrests. except in one aggra-
waited case many years ago. Speaker
Clark delivered the reprimand sol
emnly and deliberately.
THE freedom of speech and immu-
nifty from question on words spoken
in the senate and the house." he said,
lie at the root of our institutions. AS
saulting a member of congress for
words spoken in debate might compel
a good man, who does not want TO
kill anybody, to perform that very
act"
During the debate preceding the
reprimand, when the house was in a
very serious mood, Representative
Thomas of Kentucky created a laugh
by declaring Mr.. Glover was an ath-
lete, whi;e Representative Sims was
blessed with an abnormal abdominal
protuberance," and that Mr.. Glover
would have been Justified just as
much in assaulting Muskogee duck
