Philadelphia, Oct. 22-'The Gary din
ners to which 80 per cent. of the iron and
steel manufacturers of the country came
to discuss the situation in the dark days
of the panic of 1907, are a laurel and
crown in the history of the industry,
said Richard V. Lindabury in his argu-
ment for the defence today in the fed
eral suit to dissolve the United states
Steel Corporation. Instead of apologizing
for the action taken by the corporation
at that critical period of the country's II
nancial history, he added, the steel cor
poration is exceedingly proud of what it
accomplished.
Mr. Lindabury said the iron and steel
industry during the panic was becoming
demoralized, that Il. II. Gary called to-
gether the manufacturers to exchange
views and to prevent wide and sudden
fluctuations in prices that would bring
ruin to everyone in the business. AS
result of these gatherings, he said, there
was not one failure in the iron and steel
trade for the first time in the history OF
panics. No prices were fixed at these
dinners as alleged by the government,
nor was territory allotted or outputs linn
tied, said counsel
Mr.. Lindabury concluded his argument
late today after speaking 10 hours. Most
of his address today was taken up with
the conduct of the steel corporation after
its organization in 1901 He denied the

American carrying trade.
To facilitate uninterrupted voyages
by merchant vessels carrying food
stuffs, oils, metals and other semi
contraband material, it has been sug-
gested that the manifest be revised

can ports, which would insure the
ships against detention by British or
French cruisers, even temporarily to
make searches.
against the seizure Of the steamer Brin-
dilla and her detention at Halifax with
the demand for her release, was not in
the nature of an ultimatum, according to
state department officials. The depart
ment itself is ignorant of many of the
facts necessary to deal with the case, but
the protest was lodged to save all legal
rights and the reply will be awaited be-
fore any further action is taken.
Word came today that Denmark. fac
ing petroleum famine, was greatly con-
cerned over the detention of the tankers.
The British embassy announced tonight
that official reports from Halifax said
the crew of the Brindilla attempted to
scuttle the ship when she was about to
be captured by the British auxiliary
cruiser Caronia. The embassy officials
said there was reason to suspect that
the ship was not headed for the neutral
port mentioned in her clearance papers.

the Eastern railroads. which are seek

of at lease 5 per cent, indicated to-
day that their case before tho Inter

be completed tomorrow with the tes-
timony of one more witness.
The hearing today turned from
questions of conditions arising cut of
the European war. which investment
bankers appearing as witnesses insist

rates themselves. w. c. Maxwell, gen.
eral traffic manager of the Wabash

of the Central Freight Association,
presented masses of figures to show
that even with the partial relief grant

government charges that the earnings of
the corporation were excessive and de-
clared that, on the other hand. they were
only ordinary.
Counsel for the defence spoke in glow
ing terms of the treatment accorded en-
ployes of the corporation. In this re-
spect, Mr.. Lindabury said, the steel cor
poration led the world.
The famous Tennessee Coal and Iron
transaction was touched upon by coun-
sci, who denied that the corporation had
acquired that property for any other
purpose than to assist in preventing the
spread of the 1907 panic. The charge of
the government that directors of the
steel corporation had deceived President
Roosevelt as to the amount of Tennessee
stock held by the New York banking
firm which was said to be in trouble dur
ing the panic and whose Tennessee stock
was finally purchased by the steel inter-
est was false and should never have been
injected into the present suit, Mr. Lind
abury said.

London, Oct. %, go P. M
The hardest kind of fighting
continues in West Flanders and
northern France between the
German troops, which have been
reinforced by virtually all the
German forces in the occupied
portions of Belgium, and the
French, British and Belgian ar
mics, which are aided by Brit
ish warships.
Along the coast the User river
still divides the contending
forces. Neither side, apparent
ly, has been able to make any
advance but in the interior, ac-
cording to German report issued
tonight, the Allies are retiring
from several important posi-
lions. This statement OF the
Germans, however, is contradict-
ed by the French communication
issued in Paris this afternoon,
which says the Allies have not
been moved, despite the very VIZ
client attacks of the invaders.
It is the same all along the long
front extending from the North
Sea to the Swiss border. Each
side claims to have repulsed the
attacks Of the other or to have
made slight progress at various
points.

false every accusation made against

M.-The official communica-
ton issued by the French war
office tonight reports a con-
tinuation of the great battle
between the sea and La Bas-
see, in which the Belgians and
the Allies are holding their
ground. Between Arras and
the Disc, the Germans have
met with similar opposition.
The text follows:
1.-THE activity which the en-
envy displayed yesterday did
not slacken today. Between
the sea and La Bassee the
battle has continued with just
as great violence without the
Germans being able to force
back the Belgian army or the
French and British troops.
Similarly, between Arras
and the Disc, the enemy has
made determined efforts,
which have at no point been
crowned with success.

Mr.. Maxwell supplied estimates on
what increased revenues would accrue
to the Wabash system by carrying out
the suggestions made in the commits
sion's decision. These would amount,
he said, to $550,0eo annually figured on
the basis of traffic in 1913, and allow
ing that irtra-state rates could be in
creased also. He insisted this was not
to be anticipated in Illinois and In
diana, where state commissions had
shown little inclination to cooperate
in relieving the carriers. Louis Bran

sion, suggested mat nothing short Of
