CHICAGO, June 25.-The body of
Mrs. Ida Map Galbraith, her mouth
sealed with adhesive tape and her head

Mrs. Galbraith, a nurse, was SO years
old. The body was fully clothed, in
Guiding topcoat and hat. About her
waist. beneath the coat, her purse was
bound with a heavy cord.

CAPTAINS Of STEEL
IN MERGER FIGHT
Cleveland Giant Is Resisting
BethIehem'S Power in
Midwest.
Ry the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio, June 25.-
CAPTAINS of steel fighting over the
Youngstown Sheet S Tube-Bethlehem
Steel Corporation merger laid their bat
tie lines anew in Common Pleas Court
here today.
Resumption of the fight that shifted
from one Of the Nations most spectac-
ular proxy wars into the courts was at
hand with the scheduled opening of
the hearing of the suit brought by the
Continental Shares Corporation of
Cleveland and Myron c. Wick. ir., of
youngstown, seeking to block the
merger.
Financial observers believed the out
come of the suit not only will deter
mine whether Bethlehem will become a
billion-dolla corporation. but will at
feet the future efforts of Middle West
erp capitalists to lessen the influence of
Wall Street outside of the East.
Cyrus Eaton Dominates Fight.
Although his name was not among
the plaintiffs, the figure of Cyrus S.
Eaton, Cleveland capitalist, who has
amaSsed millions in public utilities, steel
and rubber. dominated the opposition to
the merger. Continental Shares and
Wick, holders of considerable Sheet &
Tube stock, are associated with the in
terestS of Eaton. himself the largest in
dividual stockholder.
Eatons group has contended that the
Serms OF the merger are detrimental to
Sheet & Tube stockholders that the
vote in favor of the consolidation by
little more than the necessary two
thirds majority of stockholders was OBJ
tanned by unfair methods, and that
some of the stock voted for the merger
was not owned by the voters.
The pro-merger group has asserted
that consolidation will be of mutual
benefit because of the divergent prod
ucts OF the two companies and denied
that the means Of arranging the con-
solidat1on were questionable.
Mystery Trunks" Are in Spotlight.
The part played in the negotiations
by Henry G. Dalton of Cleveland, part
ner in PickandS, Mather Co. and
what was in four black mystery
trunks are expected to be two centerS
OF controversy. Dalton is a director of
both Bethlehem and Sheet g. Tube, and
Pickands-Mather has ore contracts with
both concerns. The pro-merger forces
contend, however, that Dalton acted
purely in behalf OF his sheet Tube in
terests.
The trunks were stored by Reese M.
Price, assistant auditor of Sheet & Tube,
under an assumed name the same day
that his company said figures on the
merger were no longer in its possession,
according to testimony included in the
mass of dispositions taken recently in
Cleveland, Youngstown and New York
in preparation for the hearing.
The merger was approved by Sheet g.
Tube stockholders April by $4,000
more than the necessary two-thirdS ma
jority of the approximately 1900, 900
shares of common stock The terms
called for an exchange of one and one
third shares of Bethlehem common for
one of Sheet & Tube Since then a
multitude of court actions have been
fled and dissenting stockholders have
announced they will demand cash for
their holdings.

Suddenly it began to hail, at first
little and then with steadily increasing
volume. AS the storm increased in In

most impossible to hear him, although
he was fairly shouting.
McCumber of North Dakota in the
confusion arose and shouted something
at Reed. Reed, by this time highly ex-
cited, roared a none-too- pleasant reply
heard.
One thing led to another between the
two.
The crisis came when Reed and Nc
Cumber started across the aisle at each
other, their fighting blood up. Repub-
licans made a grab for McCumber and
Democrats swung on to Reed. The two
were prevented from getting at each

Somehow" says Watson, II managed
to make my voice heard above the storm

Watson said the amusing thing about
the situation was that later Reed and
McCumber in discussing the situation
found that nothing occurred to warrant
such display of feeling on their part.
The hail storm had caused them both
to become unduly excited.
Watson also recalled another stirring
session of the Senate while the League
of Nations was being considered. 1t was
a time when the gallery was packed
with soldiers who had fought in the
World War. Jim Reed was the speaker.
Senator Cunmins Of Iowa was in the
chair.
Cummins brushed aside the strict
Senate rule prohibiting applause in the
gallery. Few will forget how those SOL
diers cheered Reed as he made thrust
