UNDERSTANDING REACHED
 AT FAMOUS GARY DINNERS
Ex-President Corey Gives Damaging
 Evidence Against Steel Trust.

New York, Jan. 23.-WilliaIn Ellis Corey. former. president of the United States Steel corporation, again wit ness today in the hearing of the gov ernment suit to dissolve the corpora tion under the Sherman antitrust law, gave further testimony in support of the government charges that the cor poration is monopolistic combina- tion. He testified that understand ings' to maintain prices were reached at the famous Gary dinners given in New York by Judge F. H. Gary, chairman of the corporation at which a large majority of the steel manu- lecturers of the country were repre- sented. He gave testimony, the first given by any witness in the suit, it was said, as to the existence of an in the United States Steel corporation had participated. He confirmed in testimony the existence of a plate and structural poop' and declared that Judge Gary had had knowledge of it.
 He declared that he himself had given orders for the closing down of blast furnaces of the corporation for the purpose of maintaining the price of pig iron. He said that steel rails sold lower to foreign consumers than to domestic and he furnished testimony intended to prove that the Tennessee Coal and Iron company was a compet- itor of the steel corporation in the rail market prior to its acquisition by the corporation.
 MT. Corey. who resigned as presi- dent of the corporation in 1910, made it plainly evident in his testimony that he had in many respects clashed with Judge Gary and the members of the finance committee in matters of pol

N C., who came today to offer him a sum- mer home there that he was not raak- ing plans fer next summer because he hoped to spend a part of it tn the canal zone and could not guess at how long congress would be in session
 The North Carolina callers were headed by National Committeeman Josephus Daniels, who brought photo graphs of the house which the citizens of Asheviile offer the governor and his family. It was in this house that Mir and Mrs Wilson spent their haney- moon days. The delegation also visit ed Princeton, showing Mrs. WilssH tfa 6 plans and photographs.
 Incidentally, after the delegation left MT. Daniels talked politics with Mfr Wilson for some time. 1fF.

Discusses Relations of Government to
 Big Business.

; New Haven, Conn.,, Jan. 23.-Govern- or Herbert s. Hadley of Missouri. one of the principal speakers at the an- nual banquet of the chamber of com flations between the goxernment and
 big business said ins part:
 I've have recently been furnished a definite statement of what the pres 1dent-elect of the United States re- gards as ideal trust law. If that law should become effective in New Jersey, there would result the some what striking contrast between the provision of the federal statute and the state statute upon the same ques- tion.
 For instance,'' he said, under the proposed law which is Advocated by Governor Wilson, railroads or labor organizations would effect combina- tions with no danger of being called to account, except under the common law of the state. So long as they linn 1ted the effects of their combination to New Jersey they would be practi- cal1y exempt from legal interference or prosecution But if they should ex- tend their activities into interstate commerce, then they would become e prosecution as we'll
 We should bring to an end the present unsatisfactory situation in which we find that our industrial sys- tenn exists, half lawful and half un- lawful.

Believed That All Bodies Have Been RecoveredVaying Es inmates to Number of Dead-Rums Take Fire and Add to Horror of Catastrophe-One Woman Begged Fire men to Kill Her-ASpe Sale Was in Progress

Mckinney, Texas, Jan. 2S.-Eight persons were killed and fifteen hurt here late today when the walls of a building occupied by a farming imple- ment firm fell and crashed into the department store of Cheever Brothers. causing that building to collapse. Fire broke out in the ruins and it was be- lieved until late tonight that the death list was much larger. At midnight rescuers ceased working, being assured that no more bodies remained in the wreckage.
 Woman Says Store Was Filled.
 Mayor Finch, who took charge of the work of rescue, gave out a state ment early tonight that he believed 35 men women and children had per ished. Vernice Graves. one of the first to get out of the building after the collapse. said she was sure fifty per sons had been entrapped. It was upon these estimates that statements of the larger death list were given out at first by the authorities.
 Number in Store Unknown.
 Efforts to get an accurate statement to the number of persons in the store when the walls crashed in were unavai1ing. Vernie Graves. said to be the only occupant of the store when the crash came, who escaped un- hurt, stated positively that fifty per sons were in the place when the walls fell. Mayor Finch estimates the death Hist at 35. Other estimates are wide Iy different. Smouldering ruins pre- vented rescuers from digging far into the debris tonight.

 The postal laws make crime pun stamp issued by the government for less than it's face value. Investiga- tfons disclosed the fact that, in addi- ton to selling the stamps for less than they could have been purchased from the government, the brokers knew thats the stamps were stolen when they purchased them. Inquiries showed that brokers in some instances entered business houses to buy at low prices upon all the stamps the clerks could steal from their employers.

 Declaring that it would be inBes- sible ts maintain efficient traRs-At- iaHtie service without agreements, MT Franklin said the only way congress could improve the situation would be t6 require copies of tfss agreements ts be filed and held open te the public Any attempt te prescribe fixed rates he insisted, would be ruiReas eH ac- count of tramp competition with the regular lines and because such a prae- tiee would give foreigners an advaR- tage over the American merchant and producer.

l New York, Jan. 23-Copies of tele- grams in the possession of the state ! department at Washington are be- ieyed by the special board of inquiry admitting Cipriane Castro to this coun- try to show conclusively that Castro
 ordered the killing of Paredes, a rev. kolutfonary war general in Venezuela Fin 1907, according to developments to- day at Ellis Island. where Castro is
 being detained pending an appeal of the special boards decision to exclude the former Venezuelan president. Immigration officials with copies of these telegranns tried to read them to Castro in his room today, but he would not listen to- them. He banged the door shut, locked 1t and sent for Har- old A.
