GARY IS GIVEN
SOME LAW TIPS
BY UNTERMYER
Steel Head Insists or,
Right to OlUn
Railroads.

New York, June 2.-Elbert H
Gary, chairman of the United States
Steel Corporation, testified before
the Lockwood legislative committee
investigating the building trust
that his corporation was able tC
deliver its products at SO ton less
than its independent competitors.
He thought the differentiaI never
ran as high as IS a ton, as stated
yesterday by John A. Topping
chairman of the Republic Iron &
Steel company. Mr. Gary conceded
the difference in costs was largely
accounted for by the fact that Unit
ed States Steel owned more thar
1,5O0 miles of railroad connecting
its plants with ore centers.
Insisting on the corporation s
justification in owning and operat-
ing its own lines, Mr. Gary was
asked by Samuel Untermeyer
counsel for the committee, how he
reconciled such joint ownership
with the court ruling in the Reading
case, where it was held that joint
ownership of railroads and Goa
mines was Illegal.
Admits Ignorance.
"I am not very familiar with that
case" he replied.
Then you are not keeping pace
with the law" Mr.. Untermyer said
smiling.
Mr. Gary said United States Stee
would object strongly to being di-
vorced from it's railroads, assert
ing he did not believe ownership Of
the lines gave the corporation al
unfair advantage over its competi-
tors, such as was held to exist il
the Reading case.
'fIn a concern doing such an
immense business as the United
States Steel corporation" he lie
clared, "it is necessary to own rail
roads If We had to depend on tho
will and disposition of Independent
railroads, whose service is devoted
primarily to the interest of the
general public, We could not be as
sured of good service"
No Discrimination.
Mr., Gary asserted the steel cor
poration's rail lines gave independ-
ent steel companies as good service
as it got itself, and declared he had
never heard complaint as to dis.
elimination.
Before he began examination Of
Mr.. Gary, Mr.. Untermyer an.
nounced he planned 20 recall to the
witness stand Mr.. Topping and A. c
Dinkley, president of the Midvale
Steel & Ordnance company.
Completion of a merger of the
companies over which these two
men preside with the Inland Stee
company was announced a few
hours after Mre Topping and Mr.
Dinkley had testified the proposed
merger was still in the negotiating
state.
They were, to say the least, no
very frank in their testimony" Mr
Untermyer said. Il could charac
terize their testimony more strong
ly if l were disposed This com
mittee is not to be trified with. The!
will be required to explain theil
testimony"

AMUNDSEN SET
FOR LONG TRIP
TO ICY NORTH
Sails June 3; Will
Seek Famed tPhan-
tom Fleet

Seattle, Wash, June 2.-(By the
Associated Press.)-Captain Roald
Amundsen's exploration ship Maude,
crammed to the last inch of her
cargo holds with equipment and
supplies, is ready to set sail to-
morrow on the first lap of the long
voyage through the ice foes about
the north pole, Captain Amundsen
said today.
Two airplanes, to be used in me-
teorological and Typographical in
vestigations in the uncharted polar
basin, were loaded aboard the yes
sci. Captain Amundsen will not
sail with the Maude, but will join
his ship at Nome, Alaska, leaving
Seattle on Sunday on the steamer
Victoria.
Eskimos See Ships.
AS Captain Amundsen drifts
slowly across the cheerless ex-
panse of polar ice. from which no
white man ever emerged alive, he
will search the white waste about
him for signs of the phantom
fleet frozen company of lost
ships that the Eskimo claim swings
around the north pole year in and
year out, gripped in the inexorable
clutch of the great ice foes.
Whether the feet is legendary or
really exists is one of the problems
that has haunted the minds of
Arctic explorers for many years
While Captain Amundsen's expedi-
ton is primarily scientific in its
scope and purpose. any clue to the
existence of the phantom feet will
be investigated, members Of the
party declare.
Thirty Whalers Lost.
Vessels have disappeared strange
ly in the unexplored polar basin
since the beginning of Arctic naviga-
ton. In one fell swoop the hungry
ice pack in 1875 carried off sc
whaling ships fom the waters north
of the American continent. Mos,
of the men fed to the ice and es-
capped to Point Barrow and other
points on the Actic coast, but 70
refused to desert the ships. The
slow but ceaseless movement of the
ice carried them into the myster-
ious uncharted north region that
comprises one million square miles
Eskimos who have escaped from
the ice pack after being carried
into unknown wastes have returned
with stories of ghostly ships frozen
in the ice, white with frost and
manned by frozen crews.

Savanna, Ga. June 2. - Ihe
lynching spirit must be kept oSt OF
the courts. This cannot be done IL
the cry for immediate trials for ac-
cused violators of the law is needed,
in the opinion of Judge Arthur u.
Powell of Atlanta, president or the
Georgia Bar association. Judge
Powell in addressing the annual
Tybe Island yesterday electr1hed
Tybe Island esterday electrified
the members by his declaration OF
bitter opposition TO hurried Grim
inal trials and the national prom
bition law. Today the state is dl-
vided as a result of his remarks.
Speaking in opposition to the pro
hibition amendment Judge Powell
said:
"FOisted On Country"
THE 18th amendment, 1olSteu
upon the country when we were III
the throes of the late war will be-
come a dead letter unless 1t was
born of a wisdom which we do not
now seem to see. A statute lacking
the support of public opinion can
not generally be enforced.
Il am speaking now as an indl-
vidual and not as the president OF
the bar association and L do not
ask you to agree with me but 1t IS
my calm, deliberate judgment that
no enactment of such widespread
viciousness, of such universally de-
basing effect on your law and the
enforcement of it, of such potency
in arousing disregard for the law
and the courts ever before has been
impressed upon our people.
Fly to Worse Evils.
Rum has its undoubted evils.
The bar-rooms were intolerable
nuisances. The influence of the
whisky interests in our politics was
debasing to the last degree; yet in
flying from these evils we have
flown to worse. We were told that
liquor was the cause of crime, that
it made widows and orphans, that
it was practically author OF poverty
and distress. Have crimes de-
creased? Are there fewer widows
and orphans? IS there less poverty
and distress?
Ine history anu natural enect
of the passage and the enforcement
of a drastic prohibition law is to
diminish the number Of petty crimes
and to increase the number of felon-
les. Slight folly is oftentimes an
antidote for crime.
The wave of homicide which
swept over Georgia on the passage
of its statewide prohibition law
found it's counterpart in the wave

Notice therein the large number of

are by the nature of their punish
ment, are returned to community

radically wrong in the law that Is
not enforced because of its effects
on society"
Replying to the concerted demand
that has been made throughout the
country, and especially in Georgia,
for speeding up criminal trials, cut
ting of red tape by the courts. and
the doing away of technicalities,
Judge Powell said:
Fosters Mob Spirit.
1.-The demand for fewer techni-
calities is of course merely the de-
mand that in the administration of
rights there shall be less law and
more discretion. The procedural
technicalities with which the law
surrounds practice in the courts
bears very much the same relation
to the administration of the law
that conventionalitieS bear to so
cial life. Strip the law of technical
tiles or social life of conventionali-
ties and the weak, the pure, the
fairminded and the good find them
selves at once victims of wiles and
improper advances which neither
justice nor society has found any
other method of restraining. AS
truly as conVentionalities dis
tinguish and protect the amenities
of the polite life from the indie
corum and Vulgarity of the ill-bred
and impure, SO do technicalitieS dis
ting ulSu anu PROTECT Tue dignity anu
the majesty of the courts from the
criminal, the brutal and the un-
civilizing spirit of the mob.
IF there needs be a lynching lei
the mob do it; do not ask it of the
court. The courts must not pandel
to the mobs. Speedy trials do not
allay the mob spirit; they set the
example, they inculculate and fos-
ter. Even if they were a remedy
the remedy would be worse thar

Washington, D. c., June 2.-Just
as police lines long have been
thrown about great public gather
ings to prevent disorder and dis
turbance, SO in the future will air
lines have to be drawn in the sky
to keep prowling aviators from
cirCling above the heads of speCta-
tors and annoying the speakers.
The action of a commercial avia-
tor in flying three or four times
over the head of President Hard
ing while the latter was delivering
his address at the Lincoln memorial
dedication ceremonies on Decora-
tion day has caused the commits
sioners of the District of Columbia
to take drastic action. President
Harding tried to ignore the aero
plane, but the pound of the motor
and the hum of the propeller COM
pletely drowned his voice at times.
Form Air Rules.
At first it was supposed that an
act of congress would be necessary
to regulate aerial traffic over the
national capital, but the corpora
ton counsel today notified the au-
thorities that the ordinary police
power to regulate traffic on the
streets is sufficient to cover air
traffic as well. Air rules, therefore,
are in process of formation. These
will not affect military and naval
aviators, but they are subject to
strict discipline and control.
The privately owned planes are
the greatest offenders. During the
presidential campaign of 1920 Gov
ernor Cox. the Democratic nominee,
on several occasions was interrupt
ed by aeroplane antics while ad-
dressing large gatherings at state
and county fairs.
How to Arrest Emf
The enforcement of air rules will
depend upon air policemen, OF
course, and it is figured it will be
comparatively easy TO keep aviators
away from public gatherings, but
there still is the problem of how ar
air arrest is to be made. 1t is as
sumed the air cop will pursue tht
offender until he is forced to land
