Except for some questions at the
morning session, which related to the
formation of the Steel corporation,
and a few more about the extent to
which the companies combined IN

his time on the witness stand today
to setting forth the policies, purposes
and results of the organization OF his
company. There had never been any
secrecy about the operation OF the

the investigation of the Stanley COM

interviews about what the company
was doing, and what 1t hoped to do.
Since that time he had refrained for

not competed, but he added: I'VE
never cut prices, and we never sold

DoRsING EPISCOPAL MINISTER'S
ACTION.
CARE OF CHILDREN
MISS ELIZABETH COOKE AID
DRESSES MEETING ON THE
PROPER METHODS OF TRAIN
ING BACKWARD ONES.

The Richmond Equal Suffrage
league adopted resolutions yesterday
putting tho league on record as fav-
oring the action OF the Episcopal
council of Virginia in requiring a
medical certificate of the man be-
fore performing the marriage cere-
mony.
This action followed a discussion
on backward children and their
proper training by Miss Elizabeth
Cooke and a talk by Mrs. Harvey
Clarke on the interest of the women
of the country in saving the child. 1t
adds another to the growing list OF
those who favor eugenical marriages.
The Episcopal ministers OF Richmond
will probably meet shortly to fix a
date for action upon the resolution
of the Virginia diocese.
Last of the Course.
The meeting of the Equal Suffrage
league yesterday was the last Of a
course Of weekly meetings at which
lectures on various subjects of pub
of lectures was designed by the chair
man Of the program committee, Mrs.
Harvey Clarke. with the view OF pre-
pairing the women for constructive
helpful work as social servants, seek
ing the ballot at the same time as a
means to this end. The course has
been educational. and the subjects
discussed have included good roads.
health food, laws, temperance. edu-
cation, peace, the tariff. the initiative
and referendum, the care of the child.
the working girl and others.
1.-THE public schools are doing a
great DEAL" said Miss Cooke In speak
ing on The care of the child yester-
day, but they cannot do all in edu-
eating our boys and girls There are
little ones who fall out of the group
because Of their inability to keep up.
There Is no provision for these, and in
many instances they have been ne
elected, left to lag behind without
| help. Think. of 1t! A little child
marred for life because there was no
one to take its hand and lead 1t over
the hard places"
Miss Cooke has seen this need In
Richmond, and has established near
Lakeside home for backward chill
dren She told the members OF the
league about this home, and explain
ed how the children are trained and
cared for
Mrs. Clarke Talks.
Mrs. G. Harvey Clarke presided at
the meeting. and after Miss Cooke
had concluded, pointed out the inter-
| est OF the women IN tHe care anu
training Of the child, the greatest as
set of the nation.
THE mothers are the chief lovers
and caretakers of children she
said, "and they should be allowed to
put this love spirit OF theirs into the
thought of our government. The wo-
men OF the nation should be allowed
| to register at the ballot box their
promptings for the welfare OF the
| child"
The meeting adjourned after the
adoption of the report favoring pure

Beautiful girls and gallants filled
every available space leading into the
auditorium. ana that portion Of the
college was crowded to the doors and
windows. Flowers lent their fra
grace ani beauty to spectacle
which already had u semblance OF
oriental spiendor.
The program was a long one, but
there were no unnecessary bitches or
delays. Every number was delivered
according to schedule, and many fond
parents beamed with Joy at the sue
cess of the young ladies who had
gone through the term. and who had
come out with marks Of approval
from the instructors.
There was no one who could have
discovered a difference in the style
or technique OF any one of the per-
formers. because each number which
contributed to the pleasure of the oc-
casion was upon different theme
Applause greeted every one, And
the applause was merited, because
every one contributed to the pleasure

as he could see.
Charles w. Thompson, a New York
newspaper reporter, who made the
II, mile tour with Colonel Roose-
welt. and who knew him intimately
when he was president, made the
strongest kind Of witness for the
plaintiff because he not only had
never seen Colonel Roosevelt take
more than sip or nip now and then,
but that he had never heard any
talk in Washington or elsewhere that
the colonel took more than was good
for man.
clifford Pinchot, once head OF the
forestry bureau, and a long time
friend and political supporter OF Col
onel Roosevelt's, gave an interesting
reason for his statement that he had
observed the colonel closely and had
never seen any signs Of alcoholic in
fiuence. When Cross Examiner Bel
den pressed Mr.. Pinchot to explain
why he had observed the colonel.
Mr.. Pinchot said that he was esDe-

and Its inability to satisfy 1t. The sig

exaggerated abroad This is partly
explained by political motives, and a
deficient sense of the responsibility
OF the press, but it is also Characteris-
