TELLS OF ACQUIRING
THE TENNESSEE CO.
Gayley Again Testifies in
the Government Steel
Trust Probe

New York, March 10.-To support Its
contention that the United States Steel
corporation wields a dominating In
f1uence over independent steel con-
Germs, government counsel in the suit
to dissolve the corporation as an illegal
combination introduced evidence at to-
days hearing to show that Henry Clay
Frick, director of the corporation, is
the owner of 37.100 shares in the Cam
bria Steel company.
1t was also shown that Mr.. Frick
formerly owned a large block of stock
in the American Can company, a heavy
consumer of steel.
I James Gayley, former vice president
of the corporation, who testified last
week. was s-examined today
Mr.. Gayley was questioned by coun-
sci for the corporation concerning the
acquisition of the Tennessee Coal and
Iron company in 1907, which the cor
avert the financial panic of that year
and not. as alleged by the government,
to eliminate competition.
The witness testified that some time
before the acquisition of the property
he had submitted to him a report from
mining engineers which led him to con-
fide to Mr.. Frick the great possibil-
tiles of the company" The latter did
not, however. favor acquisition of the
Tennessee company and no further
mention was made of 1t, Mr.. Gayley
said, until the panic was under way,
when Judge Gary spoke to him about
the ore reserves and told him that it
might be necessary to take over the
Tennessee"
Judge Dickinson for the government
then attacked the witnesses testimony
in which he conveyed the impression
that the Steel corporation has no mon
opoly of the steel business but had left
untouched vast ore regions In this
country" lft
Mr.. Gayley will continue his testi-
mony tomorrow.

C. T. M'ELROY GIVEN
TWO YEAR SENTENCE
Admits Passing Spurious
Coin-Worked Unique
Scheme

6. e. McElroy was yesterday sentenced
to two years in the federal penitentiary
at Atlanta for passing spurious coins by
United States Judge William I. Grubb.
McElroy is d Birmingham man, some
time ago having a considerable reputa-
tion here as a prize fighter.
McElroy came to court of his own voli-
ton when heard a deputy marshal was
out hunting for him, and confessed to
the charge. According to his own confess
sion the scheme he worked was rather
clever. He would enter a Iong distance
telephone booth at some hotel here In
the city and put In q call for real man
in some distant city, say Chicago.
few moments later he would return to
the same booth and put in a call for
another party whom he knew did not
exist at some much closer city, say Mont
gomery.
Then when the operator got the Chicago
party on the wire, McElroy would have to
drop his spurious coins into the instru-
ment before he could talk. After doing
this he would get the party on the wire,
state that there was mistake some
where as he did not want anyone In
Chicago, but had call in for party
in Montgomery. The Chicago man would
hang up and McElroy would call the
operator and tell her she had gotten
the wrong party and he wanted his money
back, the tolls in the case usually being
rather large. McElroy would then so
around to the telephone company's head
quarters and get good money for the
counterfeit he had dropped in the tele-
phone instrument.
After doing this several times the tele-
phone company discovered the spurious
coin, set a watch for McElroy and caught
him.
