no exception.

the courtroom as though he were a
mummy, never showing by an express

as to his fate. He believes that he will
be either acquitted or givea a Lighter

HUNDLEY WRITES ON
DISSOLUTION SUIT
Says Suit Brought Against the Steel
Corporation Was political Suit
Pure and Simple"

To the Editor of The Age-Heraid;
l have noticed with some interest the
controversy in reference to the CONSOLE
dation of the Tennessee Coal. Iron and
Railroad company with the United States
Steel corporation, and the efforts being
made to bring about the dismissal of the
case by the government.
This suit was a political law suit, pure
and simple. 1t did not emanate from a
source which was intended to conserve the
public welfare. During my campaign in
the east in the last national election, 1t
devolved upon me to discuss the law suit,
because the action of Colonel Roosevelt
in regard thereto was sought to be made
an issue to his detriment. 1t will be re-
membered, in the filing of the BILL there
was an averment made in substance that
President Roosevelt was deceived into
giving his acquiescence to this consolida-
ton.
We took up the gauge OF battle along
these lines, and 1 discussed the matter
fully in 147 speeches In New England and
the middle west. Colonel Roosevelt also
discussed this phase of the case, and
slateu III lloSt positife leihiS tHat ne WAS
not deceived in the matter, but had con-
scented to 1t because it was right, and he
had nothing to take back on that account
In every speech / made 1 called upon
anyone in the audience to present one
good reason why the consolidation should
not be made, or one good reason why the
law suit should have been brought to
dissolve the consolidation, but my efforts
to get an answer to that question proved

like $4,000 votes were polled, and the vot-
ing strength of the republic is several mill
lions. Through fear or intimidation, or
ignorance the populace of Mexico take
little interest in their elections and re-
frsin from going round the polls. The
situation certainly presents a very knotty
problem.
If the constitutionalists were allowed to
purchase arms in the United States and
should succeed in overthrowini Huerta,
even then assurances of a stable govern
ment would be by no means certain. In
the minds OF thoughtful men the deeper
we look into Mexican affairs the more
convincing is the evidence that IL peace is
ever restored to that country it must be
through the fundamentally of some out
side force, and If this conclusion becomes
fixed fact 1t is right up to the United
States. The world Is looking to this
government to make good as policeman on
this hemisphere.

Charles M. Schwab's Venture

But the Guggenheims are not the only
Americans of capital who are venturing
very large investments in the exploita-
ton of the mineral resources of Chill.
Charles M. Schwab. a few days ago. re-
turned from Europe where he had made
some investigation of the cost of a fleet
of at least ten steamships which are to
be exclusively employed In transporting
iron ores from the very rich mines of
Chill, which American capital controls,
to the United States. This venture would
probably not have been made had not
a careful study of the cost OF transporta-
tlon demonstrated the fact OF which Pres
ident Woodrow Wilson spoke at Mobile
namely, that the Atlantic ports of the
United States are very near the west
coast of South America in comparison
with the distance between these ports and
the east coast of the southern continent.
Presumably iron ore of the quality serv-
| iceable to the industries which Mr..
Schwab's name Identifies can be mined
so much cheaper in Chill than in the
| United States as to make the investing
of millions In this undertaking reason
able from commercial point of view.

| house of William r. Grace & Co. is
! not only occupied with plans for increas-
