Steel Corporation MarshaIs
Witnesses to Refute Gov
ernment's Charge.

NEW YORK, October 1.-The steel cor
poration marshaled its experts today to
refute the governments charge that 1t
deserves dissolution as an illegal monopo-
ly The corporation took up the defense
where it was left off when hearings were
suspended last June. 1t maintains not
only that it is not monopoly, but that a
monopoly of the steel and iron trade is
an impossibility.
Prof C. L. Leith of the University Of
Wisconsin was sthe first witness. He
qualified as an iron expert by reciting
his connection with the United States
geological survey and the tax commission
Of Wisconsin and Michigan in that ca
pacity.
The defense will probably take up the
time from now until January or later
The next two weeks will probably be
given TO testimony concerning the ore
holdings of the corporation, many ore eX-
perts and biologists having been called in
support of the contention of the corpora
ton that it's holdings are far short of a
monopoly.
The long -drawn-out suit, it is esti.
mated, will not be completed until year
from this fall. AS the governments bill
of complaint was filed in October 1911.
the case has already been under wav for
two years.

Objects to Proposed Treaty

ASKS FOR CONFERENCE
WITH OTHER REPUBLICS
Believed Proposed Pact Will Inter-
fere With Central Ameri-
can Federation.

The government of Salvador has
asked for conference with the four
other Central American republics on
the subject of the treaty the United
States proposes to make with Nicara-
qua. which aims to prevent any Euro
pcan government from constructing in
Nicaragua rival to the Panama canal.
The State Department has been in
formed of Salvadors action. Coin
cidental.y- the new minister of Saliva
dor. DR.. Francisco Duenas has arrived
in Washington to take the place which
will shortly be made vacant by the de-
parture of Senior Don Federico Mejia,
who is going abroad for a long yaca-
ton.
DR.. Duenas has not yet presented his
credentials at the State Department. 1t
is expected that he will do so and will be
received by the President at the White
House the latter part Of this week or
early next week.
Purpose of Salvador.
Until he assumes charge of the Sal
vadorean legation DIR. Duenas, it was
stated in his behalf today, cannot speak
upon diplomatic subjects. but in asking
Guatemala, Nicaragua Honduras and
Costa Rica to join with it in discussion
of the proposed treaty between Nicaragua
and the United States It is understood
here that Salvador proposes to bring to
head the antagonism of Central American
countries to the proposed treaty.
Communications received in Washing
ton from Salvador declare that that coun-
try is opposed to the proposed treaty on
the ground that if it is made it will rem
der impossible the establishment of the
proposed United States of Central Ameri-

would be the solution of all Central

Concession Not Ratified.

The concession has not yet been rati-
fled by the Colombian congress. There
is hesitation there because of the canal
rights in the concession. There is place
in the southern part of the Isthmus of
Panama. in Colombia. where two rivers
approach each other from the oceans,
where it would be necessary to build but
q small canal to make a connection. Such
canal would be nothing like the size
of the Panama canal, but it could grow
into a rival of the Panama canal.
Some Colombians are looking with favor
upon this concession, as that country is
credited with desire to hold the United
States up to shame in the eyes of the
world, as a matter of revenge for what
it calls the unfair treatment of the United
States when 1t entered upon the Panama
canal project in the Roosevelt admins
tration. In addition to a desire to effect
reprisals. Colombia has demanded of the
United States $4O,OOO,OOO damages for the
way 1t was treated by what they call

yesterday afternoon. Few of the hun
dred thousand or more state and county

essential that this great outlay be- ex-

take the management of public roads out
