Large Corporation.

New York May 30.---Jndge FL
bert II. Gary, chairman OF the
United States Steel corporation, re-
sumed his testimony for the defense
today in the government suit to dis
solve the corporation. Judge Gary
declared that it had been the aim OF
the promoters of the corporation to
avoid buying plants that competed
with one another, but he admitted
there had been slight competition.
He declared the corporation had
never led the way in changing prices
or in reducing wages, but had al
ways led in restoring wages. He
never heard complaint Of unfair
treatment.
Judge Gary declared that the firm
of J. p. Morgan & Go. merely acted
as financiers in the organization of
the corporation.

Washington, May 30.---Japan' g
demand that the United States make
amendsfor the insult to her national
honor in the California allan land
law looms up again with new
phase of DANCE at the State Depart
ment
Secretary of State Bryan, who had
| four days engagement in Mississippi
and Alabama next week, cancelled
all his dates today and will remain
here, although 1t Is not admitted Of
iicially that he is to remain to meet
the japanese rejoindcr to his ans
wer to Japan's protest.
Jingoes Take Action.
The new cause OF disturbance is
official information that the Japan
csc cabinet laid the answer before
the leader of the opposition in the
japanese parliament, which demand
ed a radleal step.
The Importance of this move and
| the element of grave disturbance In
| it is that the cabinet which has de-
clared the reply unsatisfactory has
| decided to make the opposition SEN
timeut a part of an amended nom
partisan reply to the United States.
Tife opposition Is the lingo party
| in Japan. 1t has been the forefront
land inspiration of the public dem
lonstrations which have been made
against the United States through
out the Empire of Japan. The sur
render of the Cabinet to the oppO-
Isition shows to the diplomatic mind
here that the Mikado's party is now
or soon will be in the hands of the
military party in Japan.
Urged Sending Fleet.
The feeling of the militant party
was voiced some time ago In public
speeches at Toxic. in which the po-
sition was taken that perhaps to
send Japanese squadron to the
quickest solution of the protest Am
bassador Chinda had made against
the California law.
AT the White House today and at
the State Department it was admit
ted that Ambassador Chinda had not
advised this government of the new
latitude of his government to Sec
retary Bryan's pacific rejoinder TO
the Japan demand for satisfaction
| for the insult to its honor. The sill
ence of Japan for two weeks has
more than puzzled the administra-
tion diplomats. The only explana-
ton they have had of 1t was the
authentic newspaper sews that the
Cabinet had looked over Mr.. Bryan s
lreply and had declared it to be sat
isfactory. 1t is believed that Baron
Chinda was ordered to hold the an
swer up until the two parties got
together.

Craw.s Through Narrow Window on
Tenth Floor Without Leav-

ILL HEALTH is BLAMED
Body Of Mrs. B. r. Beyz Of Hinsdale
Found by Policeman After
Leap Into Darkness.

Chicago. May 30.-IMrs. B.. r.
Belz of Hinsda g, H., leaped
through a narrow window on the
tenth floor of the Masonic Temple
building Last night. Her lifeless
body was found in an alley In the
rear with neck, arms and both legs
broken.
At the time she made her desper-
ate jump there were no persons in
the room where she had been pacing
for half an hour. The window Is
so narrow that the police were puz-
zled how she could have gotten
through it excepting by running
dive
The wooden bars cross the lower
portion OF the frame to prevent q
child from accidentally falling. The
window was but ha'f open. leaving
a space OF only two feet in height
by about ten inches in width,
through which she sprang.
Husband Blames Illness.
No note was found in the room
when investigation was made, but
upon a radiator was a slip of paper
upon which was written: Found,
a handbag; inquire room 100" The
police believe some one may have
found d bag dropped by the woman
and not suspected that the owner
had leaped through the window.
Mrs. Belz was thirty-three years
old and is survived by her husband,
who has dyeing establishment in
Hinsdale and four-months-old
baby. She has two sisters and a
brother living at 2917 Warsaw
avenue, near Oak Park. Mr. Belz.
when Informed of his wife's death,
said:
II have feared something fright
full might happen. My wife has
been i'll and suffering from melan-
cho'ia for several months. She has
been visiting Chicago to be treated
by DR. F. b. Fradsham of 7lS West
Sixty third street. Generally / ac-
companied her, but today she went
into the city alone. There has never
been the slightest family trouble or
any other cause for her seeking
death excepting her Illness"
Second Window Tragedy.
DR.. Fradsham says Mrs. Belz Wis
tied his office during the afternoon
and he realized she was in ner-
vous state. He said he had treated
her several times and had informed
her husband of her condition.
Mrs. s. Tang, scrubwoman in
the Temple building, was apparently
the last person to see Mrs. Belz
alive. Mrs. Tang said:
There was a woman in the room
about half past seven in the even
iGg when | went there to clean She
kept walking aDont tho room and
talking to herself. went out lit
tie before o'clock and left her
alone. In about ten minutes some
people came and said a woman's
body had been found way down un.
derneath the window. | do not see
how any one could have gotten
through that window
Patrolman John Phelan of the
central office, states that Ia few
years ago another woman umped
through this same window and that
afterward the bars were placed
across the lower portion of tbs

selves as highly pleased with the
progress made so far by the bill In

Several OF the gentlemen are
greatly inccnsed at the statement
made that they served In the capa-
city OF lobbyists at Springfield They
assert with reason that they were
sicmply at the State capital for the
sole purpose OF looking after the
interests OF the city OF Cairo and
not to use any endeavor but honest.
straightforward methods, based on
the justice OF Cairo's cause, to ad-
vance the bill making the appro-
priation.
Governor Dunno has been shown
eevrything In connection with
Cairo's lcyee syRtem-Ithe joint sub
committees OF tho Senate and the
House have been here and made
thorough Investigation. Not only
has physical examination been
made, but the financial end Of the
matter investigated Nothing es-
capped the chief executive OF the
state or the members or th lgisla-
ture. All were impressed with the
justice of Cairo's claims for prompt
financial assistance.
Hence it follows that suggestion
that any Of the Cairo committee has
engaged In the disreputable tactics
OF a lobbyist Is decidedly Tepng-
nant, has a tendency to cast re-
Election on the honor OF Cairo and
Its delegation and a liability TO
erect a barrier to the future pro-
