Number of Prisoners
Speculation Cause

WASHINGTON, March 9.-Altho
the latest state department dispatches
today did not announce the actual re
lease of the Yarrowdale prisoners. an
official dispatch dated March Z said
they "soon were to be released" and
officials here believe the long con-
troversy over their status is about to
be brought to satisfactory conclus-
ion. within a fed hours they should
be out OF German territory and the
department has indicated that with
that accomplished the incident would
be considered closed.
There was some speculation tonight
as to whether all Of the men had
been included in tho release order.
Reports of the number held have va
ried widely At first Ambassador Ge-
rard sent the names Of GA. Later Of
fetal reports mentioned as many as
70 and today's official dispatch from
the Spanish foreign office mentioned
55 as remaining In Germany. The
press dispatches from Berlin saying
80 were released seemed to refer to
the entire number held however,
and II is assumed that the confusion
may have arisen over some cases of
disputed nationality.

FATE OF GIANT STEEL
COMBINE IN BALANCE
Supreme Court Begins Con-
sidering Dissolution Suit;
Two Justices Out.

WASHINGTON. March 9-The SUI
preme court today began considera-
tion of the federal dissolution suit
against the United States Steel cor
poration, its subsidiaries and officers.
Argument will continue until next
Wednesday.
Only seven of the nine justices are
sitting in the case. Justices Brandeis
and McReynolds retired voluntarily
in accordance with the court custom
The former, it is understood. did so
because OF public expressions made
before his appointment In writings
and official Investigations regarding
the so-called "steel trust" Without
comment or explanation he left the
bench today when the case was
called. Justice McReynolds, while at
torney-general, participated in the
federal prosecution which was begun
in 1911 during President Taft's ad-
ministration.
Corporation IS Feared.
In opening the governments case
Assistant Attorney General Todd pic
tured the corporation as a Colossal
super-combination" of competing
units, producing approximately one
half of the nations iron and steel out
put and controlling assets OF more
than $2,000.000,000. He declared 1t
was a grossly overcapitalized" COM
bination of combinations. with sub
salaries themselves previously over
capitalized. Promoters, he said, re-
ceived enormous" profits and prices
had violently risen" after the cor
poration was formed 16 years ago.
Outlining the defense, Richard v.
LindabuUy contended that the Sher-
man law does not prohibit combina-
tions merely for size and power alone.
Defense Argument Made.
Proportionate production by the
corporation, he said, has decreased
to 400 per cent since it was organ
ized, while competition and competi-
tors proportion of output have in
creased. He insisted that the corpo-
ration is not a monopoly and has no
power to dominate the industry.
Mr. Todd declared that the combi-
nation is still overwhelmingly pre-
ponderant" in virtually all branches
of the trade and that the price-fiXing
holding company was not normal
development.
