arpment investigation OF the pro-
rosed merger of six Independent
steel corporations into one gigantic
examination was ordered today by
the senate.
The probe will be carried out by
the department of Justice and the
federal trade commission under a
resolution sponsored by Senator La
Follette, republican OF Wisconsin.
The resolution was adopted with
a record vote.
The resolution specifically calls
upon the two government agencies

they have taken TO prevent the mer-
ger and what they propose to take.
The attorney-general is also asked
10 indicate how the government
could prevent the merger.
Dangerous. Says La Toilette.
The pending merger was branded
as dangerous probability OF i'm
mense injury to the country" by
Senator La Toilette.
La Toilette declared that the
threatened combination would elm
mate all competition in the steel in
dustry and that prices would be
fixed without fear of detection by
the United States steel corporation
and its twin brother. the unnamed
trust.
The senator declared he wanted
the department of Justice to pre-
vent the merger by the use'of feder-
al injunctions,"

that the department OF Justice will

The new combination, La Toilette
asserted, was being formed by the
same financial interests which or

poraton. such a gigantic trust"
[. he said, "would throttle all compe-

time, the plans contemplate the alb

steel products will then be under

The purpose of this merger is
clear. 1t is the elimination of what
ever competition now exists In the
steel industry and the creation of a
monopoly without fear OF de-

CAMBRIDGE OUTFITS

Much For Tho Visitors. Johnson

men From ShutOnI.

| No matter what happens during
| double header at Pocomoke City to-
| day, manager Herb" Armstrong;
Warriors" have given Cambridge
| fans two good games of ball in the
last two days. They won their sec
ond game yesterday, stepping on the
toes of the league leaders the day
before.
Yesterday, it was the strong POGO
| moke club, present holders of second
place in the contest. Against the
TWO clubs which are leading the
league Cambridge looked invincloie,
and those who attended the games
were treated to some real baseball.
Roy Griggs was ON the mound for
the local contenders. and allowed
Pocomoke only four scattered hltS,
one of them homer by Bussey, tor
the only enemy tally. GrlggS
twirled the last game against POGO
moke at that place, and that time d.
lowed them only three hits, two or
them being home runs, and defeat
lug Griggs to /. His revenge yes
terday was sweet and to the liking
of the Cambridge folks.
otStidi Sptt hilIo hchN.S
were made by both teams. Bill
Johnson, our neat little third sacker.
was on his toes throughout the con-
test and three or four OF his stops
and throws were of the very best.
Gil" Melvin pulled the feature
catch of the afternoon by robblng
Norris of a hit in the ninth, on
beautiful running catch of his liner
to right field.
Wilson, third baseman for POGO
moke, also fielded very good game,
as did Gordy in left field. Manager
Ryan has this club playing real base
ball and they are in the fight to stay,
and will have to be reckoned with
by the club who manages to carry on
the penant.
Cambridge and Laurel each gain
ed a step on the league leaders yes
terday. BY defeating Parksley,
Salisbury helped the cause immense
ly. Salisbury and Parksley are play
ing a double header at Salisbury to-
day and the Wicomico countians may
be able to take the measure of the
Virginians again.
If the Cambridge boys can only
continue the hitting of the past two
days the games today will be
fierce fight, and if some of those
extra base hits ring out, we may
have another addition in double
form. to make to- our win column.
Our manager is now getting into
his stride with the old willow.
Army" has walloped two triples in
two days, and yesterday he added
single for good measure. johnson
is hitting in usual great form. while
Jake Flowers has mauled two
doubles, a triple, home-run and
single in two days. That kind OF
smuggling will win the ball games.
The suspensions put on Swingier
and schroll have been lifted. Swing
Ter returned on Tuesday, while
Schroll received his pardon Tuesday
night, and was back in uniform yes
terday. 1t is highly probable that
he will be "Army's" selection for the
first game this afternoon.

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS

Chicago. June 16.-Big export sales
led to material upturns Friday in the
value of wheat. The market closed
firm, u to IL net higher with July
$l.11 to $1.11b, and September S1.119s to
$1.11A. Corn finished B@A off to q

visions varying from unchanged figures
to a rise of 81 cents
1t was estimated that seaboard ex-
porters had purchased a total OF g.
100000 bushels of wheat here Thursday
and Friday. Another bullish influence
was the fact hat no forced selling had
followed Thursdays decline, and that
domestic crop reports from the south
west continued to tell of damage from
hot weather n from premature rip
ening. Besides, advices from India said
rains had been disappointing, confined
mainly to the west coast.
During a transient lull in demand for
wheat about midday, the market suf-
fered a sharp setback, July delivery

upon the suggestion of Conley the
Aylesworth ranch was rented, the state
to pay 500 per year for the vegetables
and Conley to pay $500 for the hay, it
being agreed that %convicts should be
used in the producing both of yege-
tables and hay.
The milk proposition was taken ND
for discussion. he said, and Conley
wanted the state to purchase the dairy
herd, which the board rejected. and
it was arranged that Conley should
furnish milk at eight cents a gallon,
butter at the market price, and cream
at 81 a gallon.
1t was specifically understood that
Mr.. Conley should have the use Of
prison labor for any purposes he might
have to put it to and my desire was
that the more prisoners he could use
the better | would be satisfied" said
Governor Norris. 'The main thought
of myself and the other members of
the board was to give them outside en-
ployment."
When the matter Of the purchase of
the hogs was put up to the board by
Conley, Governor Norris said he in
formed Conley that he would not be
responsible for putting the state into
the hog business and it was agreed
Conley should be furnished convict la
Dor and the prison swill, and that he
would furnish pork at a reduced price,
approximately at cost.
AS to furnishing Conley with feed
for his horses, Governor Norris said
Conley was 10 furnish such horses.
wagons and equipment as was neces-
sary for the states purposes and the
state was to feed the horses and make
requirements for any damage to horses
or equipment resulting from the states
use.
Water Cost Six Cents
He testified that Conley wanted to
sell the water plant to the state but
the idea did not appeal to the board
and water was furnished at a price less
than Conley cared to furnish it, name
ly. six cents a thousand gallons. He
testified that most of these agree
ments were made with the idea that
the next legislature would make ap-
preparations which would permit
change in the systems but none of the
ensuing legislatures made such appro-
priations and the agreements were con-
tinued in force through his term of
office.

that the board needed brick and it did
just about as it usually did, went ahead
and took the brick. agreeing to return
them later. He did not know how
many brick were thus taken by the state
but thought it ran up into the hun
reds of thousands.
Questioned by Attorney O'Connor
as to his opinion of Conley as a warden
Governor Norris said he might express
views by relating a conversation
had with Governor Stewart when the
succeeded him in office, in which
the latter requested his opinion as to
the reappointment of Conley.

you should keep him." said
Governor Norris. but whether you can
get along without him. 1 told him that
in my opinion Conley was the best war

BOSTON WOOL

Boston, June 16.-The
Bulletin Saturday will say:
The wool market shows a hating
tendency at the present moment, both
in the eastern markets and in the west
where buyers limits in some instances
have been cut down. The prices paid
at Kerrville on the whole are said to
show a slight recession from the ex-
IRENE prices OF a week ago.
The manufacturers position is hardly
changed, the tendency still being TO
mark goods up to the parity of raw
wool prices. Tariff indications as
translated from senate action this week
are taken to be that progress on the
bill will be faster with a likelihood of
modification of extreme rates.
London is a bit easier since the open
ing, especially on inferior woods and
the foreign primary markets on the
whole are easier except on the best
fine woods.
