power to exercise vast influence over
the commercial and financial affairs
Of the country and thereby advan ce
it's interests to the detriment of it's
competitors. Thirteen Of its directors
were variously directors in trust COM
panies, banks, railroad companies, ana

The government alleged that the cor
poration as well as the formation Of sew
eral Of it's subsidiaries were in contra
vention of the law and urged that several
of them be divided and placed under
separate control, with no stockholders in
common, and with the result that no

duction suggested was 10 per cent.
Separation both from the corporation
and from each other of its ore-carrying
railroads and the divorce of the Ten
nessee Coal and Iron Co. were included
in the requests.
The Government asked also that An
drew Carnegie be adjudged a party to
1.-The unlawful combination and to rule
that he took the bonds of the corpora
ton with all the infirmities attaching to
such participation"
A receiver was also asked to take over
all the dissolved properties and to re-

promoters 1.-The difference between the
par value of the stock received by them
and the cash value of the properties or

Gray having retired from judicial life.

WASHINGTON >.
IS SURPRISED
BY BREADTH OF
the DECISION

Washington. June 3.-Distinct sur
prise was evident at the department
OF justice and in government circles
generally today when news came that
the federal circuit court of appeals al
Trenton had dismissed the govern
ment's suit for dissolution of the
United States Steel Corporation.
Attorney General Gregory, after :
lengthy conference with G. c. Todd
his assistant in charge of trust prose-
cutions. declined to make a state
ment as to the next move Of the gov
eminent in the case 1t was generally
believed, however. that an effort
would be made to carry the suit, re-
garded as probably the most import
ant ever brought under the Sherman
law to the supreme court. The gen.
er practice Of the government has
been to pursue all such cases to fin.
az judgment in the court of last re.
sort.

History Of the Suit.

The suit against the United States
Steel Corporation was filed at Tren-
ton, N. j., October IS, 1911, during the
Taft administration and was started
by George w. Wickersham who was
attorney general at the time. Prior
to the filing of the action. the cor
poration had been under investigation
several times. The federal bureau of
corporations under different admins
trations delved into the operations Of
the concern and Congressional COM
mittee headed by Representative A. o.
Stanley Of Kentucky, investigated the
alleged trust. In preparing the case
for action the department Of justice
had the benefit Of all these investiga-
tons.
The testimony. exhibits. briefs and
written and oral arguments were ex-
ceedingly voluminous. The examiner
in the case sat 166 days in nine diff
ferent cities and heard 40 witnesses.

brother, NJ. Il. Lawrence of Newbury-

The single ring was used in the cere
mony and thea bride was gowned in
blue crepe de chine. The decorations
were simple and effective. Ice cream

which they will return TO Newburyport

was a trif1e misty. Still saw q num-
Der of living Boshes rushing to and
fro also one or two diggers. Then
after looking at house for a time to
see il they used 1t as an observing
station, We stretched out and snoozed
until ten or so. Then we looked some
more and 1 by telescope discovered a
lot more dead "Bongoes." 1t is strange
how green exposure makes a dead
body. l may say here that the
trenches are about 200 yards apart
and our observation place is just be-
hind our own trench; so you see we
can see o. k somewhat restricted
field Of operations. Then we fired
about nine rounds but did no dam
age as it was only shrapnel we were
using. The captain and another sub
altern then relieved us and we stroll
ed off. We meant to find a trench
that hadn't been cleared, that we'd
heard about Zone l mean that we'd
taken on the 10TH to find some soul
yenirs but we got mixed a bit and
exposing ourselves were shot at, first
with rifles, and then 'pipsqueak, had
shot at us and burst about so yards
away. We were in trench by this
time and made our way back towards
home. Well we reached a small wood :
en- tram line down which we had to
pass. The Germans have gun laid
and loaded and when they see Il couple
of officers walking down they touch it
off. They did so, their line was per-
feet and 1t burst hundred yards in
front. We ducked and FASTENED to
our support trench which was Just
there. Then we walked on. Had the
'pipsqueak' fellow been using a time
fuse and burst his shell 100 yards
shorter in the air, ! and my friend
would probably be on our way to Eng
land via a hospital or else making
use of six feet of this bloody French
soil. We arrived home safely how
ever and after lunch we had an open

shells near another battery up the
