Never Discussed Question of
Creating Monopoly orr Sup
pressing Competition
MADE EFFORT TO
FOSTER COMPETITION
Vigorously Denies That Steel Corpor-
alton Was Capitalized as Charged
by Governmental Rounded
Out Organization

New York, May 2S.--Judge Elbert n.
Gary, chairman of the United states
Steel corporation. and the man who
conducted many of the negotiations
which led to its organization, declared
on the witness stand today that neftn-
er he nor the late J. p. Morgan, nor
anybody else had ever during these ne
gotiations discussed the question OF OBJ
tainlns monopoly in the steel indus
try or of suppressing competition.
Judge Gary was testifying as witness
for the defense in the suit to dissolve
the corporation under the Sherman
antitrust law.
The witness spent the entire day
in detailed recital of circumstances
which led TO the formation of the cor
poration and endeavored to show that
the sole purpose that actuated its er-
ganization was to obtain rounded
out, self-contained proposition, COM
plete in every phase of manufacture
from the mining of ore to the produce
tion of diversified finished products in
the mills with the ability to reduce
costs to the most economical basis and
TO develop an export trade, "Our eff
fort" he said, has been to extend trade
and to foster competition, and we have
done that"

kirkland Commencement Orator

The commencement address by Chan
cellor ]. II. Kirkland of Vanderbilt
university at 1890 this morning in
Morgan hall is said to have been one
of the ablest and masterful commence
ment orations ever delivered to an
Alabama class. Chancellor kirkland is
trained voice and his address was a
model of pure diction and higher ora
tory. His general theme was The
Obligations of an Educated Man." and
he treated 1t along the line of show
ing the graduating class the obliga-
tions which they had placed themselves
under to humanity by becoming pos
SCISSORS of the higher learning.
DR.. Denny introduced Chancellor
Kirkland as the foremost figure in edu-
cational development in the south. The
speaker declared 1t was the duty of
all the people to look after the edu-
cation of all the people. He spoke of
the wonderful developments of the past
century and stated that yet there was
just as much misery. just as much hap
piness, just as much wealth and all
there had been no change He said the
learning and talent of the nation natur-
ally centered In the cities and yet the
greatest failures of democracy was in
the cities He paid high tribute to the
commission form of government and
along this line expressed the same con-
viction as was expounded by City Com
missioner James Weatherly of Bir-
mingham the day before to the effect
that commission government could do
nothing unless it was backed by good
citizenship and wide awake public
sentiment. The greatest curse of our
cities," he declared, 'is the absolute In
difference of the people to any kind oil
government"
The great educator of Vanderbilt
launched into an exhortation on the
obligations of the college men to con-
duct the reforms which must come and
solve the questions that are now be-
fore the American people "The tariii',
the currency question, the taxation
problem, the antitrust matter" he de-
clared, none of these things are mat
ters for politicians to decide. They are
not me tiers for the great political par
ties to take up and secure votes on.
If they are to be decided satisfactorily
they must be settled by a small group
of college men, of men who are ex-
perts and who know history and who
are appointed by the government to
work out plan, and such is a part
of the work that lies before this grad

300 WANT
TIMES Joy RIDE
Many Responses Made to Offer Of Jau Automobiles and
Visit to Columbia Theaer to See "Quo vads" Picture.
More Cars Are Needed.

Who wants to contribute to this
worthy movement of good cheer? 1t
will mean merely that you will be de-
prived of the use of your automobile
September IS. Perhaps it will mean only
using the machine during the time that
1t would otherwise be standing empty
at the curb. But it will mean more
than any one can realize to the aged
women who for whom the treat is in
tended.
Another Treat.
Aside from the ride. another treat Is
in store for The Times guests that aft
ernoon. The "Quo Vadis'' pictures,
which have been shown to thousands Of
people in the larger cities Of the United
States, will be displayed at a special
performance arranged for The Times
guests. Unparalleled for Photographic
beauty. human interest. dramatic power.
and spectacular grandeur, these pictures
tell the graphic story Of the struggles
Of the early Christian martyrs in eight
reels of films that abound with thrills
and dramatic situations.
No tickets will be sold for this special
performance, and no visitors will be al
lowed, except The Times guests and
those who are to accompany them. The
owner Of the pictures, George Kleine
has wired The Times that he Is more
than glad to be able to contribute this
portion Of the entertainment for such
a worthy cause. and Messrs. Metzerott
Of the Columbia Theater, have assured
The Times that everything possible will
be done for the comfort and entertain
ment Of the old ladies who are to be
The Times guests.
All that remains to be done Is to have
a number Of additional automobiles, and
The Times urgently requests all who
expect to loan their cars to write Miss
Murdock. chairman Of the committee, as
soon as possible, SO that she may assign
the cars.
The Washington times., 1913-09-10

Nearly 300 old ladies have been regis
tered for The Times automobile ride,
which is being planned for the afternoon
of September Is. On this day the ell
derby women living in the homes and
various religious homes and institutions
of Washington will, through the cour-
tesy Of automobile owners of the city.
be given a ride, and later will be enter
tanned at the Columbia Theater, where
the "Quo Vadis'' moving picture spec
tacle will be presented.
Already a number of responses to
The Times appeal for automobiles have
been received by those in charge OF
the ride, but many more will be need
ed before that day. For this reason 1t
who feels that 1t is a duty to give hap
piness whenever possible, will come for
ward at once with offers Of a car for
the afternoon. The many institutions Of
Washington are filled to capacity with
dear old ladies, many of whom have
been able at one time or another to
ride in conveyances of their own. but
who, through untoward circumstances.
have been reduced to their present state.
1t is tor these old ladies that The Times
asks the loan Of automobiles. Their
dim old eyes have not been treated
to the sight Of green trees Towering
parks and the bright out-of-doors for
many years, and some Of them have
given up nOpe VI cNcT ScciuR thc Uchu-
ties of nature again as long as they
live. .
Greatly Cbeered. =,
The news that The Times was plan
ming an automobile ride for them has
cheered them, and all are looking for
ward eagerly to the date named. Yes
terday the committe in charge OF the
ride received donations Of machines
from two gentlemen who would not Al
low their names to be mentioned.
Times has inaugurated," said one Of
them. And I wonder that the plan
has not been thought OF long ago. It
seems a little thing for one to do. but
1t means much in the way Of happiness
for the poor people who have altogeth-
er too little Of 1t in their lives. In .
Western city where ! once lived. the
citizens of the town have banded them
selves into an organization which Ii
purpose il to give joy rides to those
who would never have them otherwise.
One week the automobile owners take
the kiddies from the orphan asylums
out for a spin, the next they take the
old ladies, and the next the cripples.
After they have given all the unfor-
tunates in the city q ride, they coE-
mence all over again. keeping the JOY
rides up 'as long as the weather will
permit"
This is considered a valuable sugges-
ton. and one which Washington. with
its wonderfur percentage Of automobile
owners should copy. The Joy ride for
the old ladies, which ought to be the
first Of long series Of rides for the un-
fortunates who never have the pleasure
Of ride, ought to be great success.

Committing itself to impress upon the

ere the works needed most urgently to
be undertaken in Randle Highlands, the
association instructed Chairman Robert
F. Bradbury and his committee to d.
rect their efforts to these ends. Est-
mates were that from $4,000 to $lO0,Vc

That the erection of a new bridge to
span the Anacostia river at Pennsyi-
vania avenue and the extension OF the
street car line by that route are propo-
sitions contingent upon the Avenue be-

Washington Churches to
Observe School Sunday

In accordance with a custom which
has been growing for the last five
years, school Sunday" will be OBJ
served in many Washington churches
next Sunday. when sermons and ad-
dresses will deal largely with modern
educational problems and with the
question of using the Bible as text
book in the public schools.
The movement is non-denomination-
al. and both in this country and in
Europe 1t has made great progress.
The National Reform Association,
with headqus rters in Pittsburgh, is
doing much to mark the day as one
on which to take up matters pertain
ing to schools, and at the second
Worlds Christian Citizenship Con-
ference in Portland, Ore, this summer
the observance was also sanctioned.

COMMERCE COURT
FATE IS IN SENATE

The question Of what is to happen to
the Court of Commerce is up to the
Senate.
A provision which has been adopted
by the House in the urgent deficiency
bill would not only abolish the court.
but its five judges would be legislated
out Of office.
A similar provision reached the Sem
ate In the last Congress. but a major
ity of the Senate thought 1t q recall
and in conflict with the Constitution,
which guarantees life tenure to a Fed
eral judge. An Interesting question is
therefore raised as to what the Senate
will do. It's complexion has been ma
terially changed since last winter.
The deficiency bill as passed by the
House carried a total Of s3.7so, 900, in
Guiding $4,000 for the District.
An appropriation is included grant,
ing $780, 900 for Federal aid to transport
destitute Americans from Mexico.
