MARRYING IN SELF-DEFENSE

In the American Magazine Edna

Chesney story. Emma McChesney
i a talented business woman, forty
years of age, whose young son, Jock,
Is Just starting into the advertising
business. One day Jock made the
mistake of limiting to his mother
that she was beginning TO show her
years a little. The following CONVEX
Sation then took place:
"Look here, Jockl VIII you

PRINCE AgNaY a uMMEa

Commenting on the visit of Prince
Henry Of Prussia to South America,
a Berlin cable to the London Times
says it is regarded as of the utmost
importance in German naval circles
that Germany shall improve her
standing in South America, and in
particular that she shall obtain the
orders for ships the absence of which
has always been a check upon the
elasticity and resources of the Ger
man building yards and indirectly
a check upon the naval expansion of
Germany herself, The kaiser has re-
peatedly interested himself in this
matter. Prince Henry will be ex-
pected to play the role of a royal
drummer.

gan laid the matter of effecting a mer-
ger between the Federal Steel Co. and
the Carnegie Steel Co. before the Fed
raj directors. After getting their ap-
proval he financed the deal The me-
gotiations finally led to the purchase
OF all the smaller companies that later
became part of the steel corporation.
These were acquired, it was stated, in
order to secure the manufacture OF
products not then being made by either
the Federal or Carnegie companies.
The brief presents much evidence to
show that the forming of the corpora
tion resulted in huge savings and also
in the development Of great foreign
trade that otherwise would not have
been created. Evidence is also offered
to show that the corporations methods
in comr9tition were always fair.

CARMAN
TRIAL Is
STARTED
District Attorney in Opening Stale
ment Declares Jealousy Was
Motive Defendant is Not
Perturbed by Her Plight
BY United Fress.

BY United Fress.
Mineola, N. Y, oct. 20. Jealousy
was the motive of Mrs. Carman in
Staying Mrs. Bailey, declared District
Attorney Smith in his opening state
ment to the jury at the beginning of
the trial today
The district attorney stressed the
Importance or the dictagraph that was
found in the Carman home. He said
The negro maid saw Mrs. Carman come
down stairs just before the fatal shot
was fired and that Mrs. Carman went
outside the house and returned few
seconds after the shot was fired.
Smith declared that Carman and his
wife told the maid not to say any ning
about seeing her pass through the
kitchen just before and after the muir
der.
Mrs. Jennie Duryea, mother of the
slain woman, broke down on telling Of
seeing the daughter leave home the
last time on the night of June go
If Mrs Carman had been assured
that her trial on the charge of murder
ing Mrs. Bailey was mere formality
and that she. would be free in few
days, she could not have shown less
concern than she displayed today
when the taking of testimony began.
The GOODNESS of the defendant dom
mated the court room. The attorneys
spoke in low tones and the spectators
were remarkably quiet and good man
nered. The trial was distinctly high

Strong Indications that
Germans Plan an Aerial
Attack on Great Britain

/ Zeppelin works are said to be works
day and night Both in Berlin and
here | have been told that Germany
has now a fleet of "a aerial cruisers
From other sources was told that as
soon as a fleet of 30 zeppelins could
be sent across the channel, the aerial
attack on England will begin.
That the Germans will make some
daring coup with their aerial fleet and
that in the near future there is some
reason for believing 1t is quite posi-
BILE that they are merely waiting for a
suitable base, Antwerp, Ostend or Ca
lais. The stories Of the number Of
Zeppelins Germany now has, must be
taken for what they are worth. Aside
from the undoubted fact that zeppe.
Inns are being turned out as fast as
possible, no one knows anything about
the size OF the fleet except the govern
ment officials and they won't tell
In some quarters the opinion pre-
walls that the English fleet will be at
tackled by the Zeppelin fleet or stimuli
taneously by the Zeppelins and the
German fleet. In other words, the big
battle will be fought in the air, on the
sea and under the sea, all at the same
time.
Although it is somewhat early to
draw conclusions, the zeppelins have
shown in Liege and Antwerp, that as
a weapon of offense they far surpass
the aeroplanes. This also has been
stated to me by members of the flying
corps, who have declared that the
scouting and accommodating of the Ger
man cavalry Of the air." has CON
tributed largely to the German sue
cesses, but that as offensive weapons
the zeppelins are far superior.
The German aeroplanes carry IL one
and four pound bombs hung in racks
on the side Of the machine. The drop
ping of these bombs through the air
sets little propeller into motion

+, Omitted Press Staff Correspondent J
Liege, Sept. ll.-(By courier via
Maastricht and Rotterdam to New
York. That Germany is preparing
an aerial attack or invasion OF England
with her fleet of Zeppelins, is the gen.
eral impression among officers here,
so far as could get any OF them to
express an opinion. That same inn
preston is in the public mind in Ber-
lin and elsewhere.
Where are all the ZeppeIins and
what are they doing?" asked a mem
ber of the flying corps.
"Just wait and see," he replied.
England gave us little surprise off
HeligoIand. We will give her a little
surprise before long"
There appear to be but few zeppe.
Inns with the armies in the field 1t is
dangerous to ask questions or seek in
formation but indications are, and
have been told from various sources,
that the zeppelins are being concen-
trated close to the North sea. 1t is
said that the completion of several
new Zeppelins is being awaited.
Just how many Zeppelins Germany
has, no one outside of the government
knows. Before the war, the official
record was less than fifteen. There
are reasons for believing that Ger
many has more, in fact, many more.
The Zeppelins and the AZ centimeter
mortar, are the two mysteries OF the
war so far. You can take your choice
from the stories that are afloat about
these two weapons. Among these are,
that the manufactured parts of large
number OF Zeppelins had been made at
the Zeppelin works in Frederick

gether when the emergency arose The

ATTEMPT
To CROSS

Petrograd, Oct. 2O-According to re-
ports received here the Germans are
continuing their efforts to cross the
vistula despite the heavy losses which
they have sustained in previous at
tempts.
Russian reports assert that eighteen
thousand German dead were left along
the battle front around Warsaw by the
retreating Germans.
Efforts of the Austrians to cross the
river San are also reported to have re-

the Russians took fifteen Austrian Of

either of these things, the United
States steel corporation today filed
its brief answering the governments
dissolution suit in the federal court
here
The brief alleges that the American
Steel and Wire Co., the National Tube
Co., the American Bridge Co. the
American Tinplate Co, the American
Steel Hoop Co., and the American
Sheet Metal o.-corporations that
We're absorbed in the formation of the
steel corporation--were not in compe-
tition with another to any appreciable
extent. What competition did exist in
companies taken over by the steel cor
poration, it is alleged, was between
the Carnegie Steel Co and the Fed
eral Steel Co. And in this case the
brief further asserts, the competition
was restricted to only a part of their
products.
To prove that the corporation now
is not monopoly as alleged, the brief
states that in 1901 the steel corpora
tions' proportion of the country's total
production of all finished products Of
iron and steel was only SOL per cent.
Since the proportion has been reduced
to 45.7 per cent of the country's pro-
duction for all the markets of the
world and to 400 per cent of the total
production for the domestic market.
AS to the extent of the control of the
business involved in the ore supply
acquired by the corporation, it is shown
that the steel corporations ore consti-
| tuted only 43 per cent of the total
amount of ore in the ranges of the
Lake superior uiStltct WHICH "SAC
known in 1901 and constitutes at pres
ent only s6 per cent of the ore main
tained in the Lake Superior ranges not
known.
The brief at some length goes into
the origin and development of the
steel industry to prove that the form
ing of the steel corporation was but
Inatural and normal Development from
existing trade and manufacturing con
ditions and that 1t in no way was or
ganized to create monopoly.
