Reiterates Testimony Con-
cerning Acquisition of
Hill Ore Lands

tant Prices to Keep Lease of Ore
Lands Out of the Hands
of Its Competitors

New York. January 29.-Todays hearing
in the government suit to dissolve the
United States Steel corporation was oe-
cupied with further testimony bearing on
the acquisition by the corporation OF the
Hill ore lease and the introduction of
statistical evidence.
?. III. Nedson, the ore expert who yes
terday testified that in his opinion the
Steel corporation had paid an exorbitani
price for the lease to keep the ore out OF
the hands of It's competitors was cross
examined
The witness admitted that after the
lease had been consummated even higher
royalties were paid for ores by independ-
ent interests than those stipulated in the
lease, but said tits was because of the
scarcity OF ore in the district after the
Hill lands had been removed from tae
market He reiterated his statement tha'
the acquisition OF the Hill lands, together
with the transportation facilities con
trolled by the corporation, gave it an ad
vantage over competitors

Washington, January 29.-An unsuccess-
Hui fight to have the House committee on
ways and means retain the present tariff
LOT 10 and 10 per cent ad valorem on boots

tariff was now prohibitive: that there was

Of the COMMITTEES indicated sentiment

hoped there never would be a. domestic

OLD DOMINION CASE
!. c. c. Hears Arguments on Is
sue Of Making Valuation Of
Road Part of the Record.

After hearing oral arguments by John
B. Daish for s. T j. Price and othsc
patrons of the Washington and Old
Dominion railway. and Wilton ]. LAM
bert for the company. the Interstate
Commerce Commission has reserved
judgment on the issue as to whether
the company shall make its valuation
and the financial details Of its transfer
a part of the record In the case
Patrons Of the road attacked the ex-
the case IL now pending. In the course
of the hearing Mr.. Daish asked that
the company produce the financial de-
tails Of the transaction by which its
Ownership was changed. He alleged
that the change was made at a greatly
enhanced physical valuation, and that
no information was had at the hearing
or questions bearing on this phase OF
the matter. On this account Mr.. Daish
held that the case had nos keen fully
heard.
In reply, Mr.. Lambert made the point
that as no attempt was made by the
compliments to show the use OF rev.
enues In paying dividends on any valu-
alton. such information was not peril
nent to the case. The only issue, he
said, is whether certain Communication
fares are just and reasonable. mas
much as the road has not yet been
able to paw operating expenses, and is
not asking to earn enough to pay inter-
est or dividends, the cost feature is
altogether foreign, he said.
