u, S. STEEL OFFICIALS
ELATED WITH OUT
Chairman Gary Says 1t Should Have
Good Effect on Business Condi-
tions

New York, June 3.-Chairman Elbert
H Gary and other officials and direc-
tors of the United States Steel corpor-
alton made no effort to conceal their
qualification at the outcome of the
case Judge Gary, however, made only
brief comment on the decision, saying
that he would have to weigh it from
every angle before speaking at length.
He said:
IT am very much gratified by in
formation from Trenton that the cir
cult court of appeals, composed of
Judges Burlington, Mcpherson, Woolley
and Hunt have unanimously decided
the government case against the
United States Steel corporation in ia
vor of the defendant. 1 feel that this
decision approves the general policy
of the steel corporation. 1t should
have a great and good effect upon bus
mess conditions throughout the coun-
try"
For several weeks there had been
a growing belief in financial and in
dustrial circles that the federal court
would absolve the steel corporation
from the more serious charges made
by the government. This belief was
mainly based upon the change of at
titude shown by the higher courts in
similar cases. Nevertheless it may
be stated that the steel corporation
had made all the necessary prepara-
tions to meet almost any decree Of the
court, whose sweeping decision ex-
ceeded their most sanguine expecta-
tfons.

MEXICAN TRIED TO

Declared the General Engaged Him to
Organize a Revolt.

Los Angeles, Calf, June 3.-N. S.
zogg, self-styled Mexican revolution
ary leader, on trial for issuing a
worthless check, declared on the wit
ness stand in the superior court today,
that he had ben engaged by General
HARRISON Gray Otis, owner of the
Los n9geles Times and General B. J.
Viljoen, a former Boer leader, to or
ganize a revolt in Lower California.
General Otis son-in-law, Harry
Chandler, recently indicted on a

General Harrison Gray Otis de-
clared in an interview he never had

was reached by telephone.
Il never authorized him or anyone
else to organize such an expedition to
Lower California" he added The
man is not telling the truth.
Harry Chandler also said he never
had heard of Zogg.
THE story, l think, is a famrication
for the purpose of eXcusing his Of

said.
