Bill Of Exceptions Filed in U. s. Steel
Anti Trust Suit.

Trenton, N. J., Oct. 2s.--The govern
ment petition for an appeal to the
United States supreme court in the
Sherman antitrust suit against the
United States Steel Corporation was
filed hero today in the federal court.
The appeal is taken as tho matter OF
right and insures hearing OF the case
by the highest federal court.
The appeal is from the recent deci-
sion Of the district court dismissing
the complaint OF tho government In
which the steel corporation was
charged with being n combination in
restraint Of trade and which sought Its
dissolution. Accompanying the petit
ton the government filed n bill OF ex-
ceptions to the decision OF the district
court giving twenty-three distinct
counts in which that court is said to
have erred. 1t is upon these so-called
errors that the government will rest
its case in the supreme court
The bill OF exception charged that
the court erred in failing to find that
the steel corporation Is a combina-
ton in restraint OF trade and that most
OF the units OF which 1t was formed
were themselves combination In vio-
lntion Of the Sherman act.

Children Become Confused.
According to the sisters the pupils

reached the ground floor made the
mistake Of rushing into the front ves-
tibue instead Of going out the rear
doors as they had been trained to do.
This caused confusion among those
who followed and a congestion in the
vestibule.
Meanwhile the flames had reached
the stairways. Within five minutes the
