It Is he most sv rap? ing euu-trust action ever brought by the depar.ment of Justice. The Government asks not only for the dissolution of the Unfed States aHsel Corporation, but for the dissolu? tion of all constituent or subsidiary companies whuh are alleged to have combined. In violation of the 8her mar. Isw, to maintain, or attempt to mal itain. s monopoly of the steel business. There are th'rty-slx subsidiary cor? porations msde ss defendants, J. Plerpont Morgan.

The Steel Corporation's lease of the Great Northern Railway ore proper? ties Is slleged to bs Illegal. The steel directors cancelled the lease but a few hours before the filing of the bill. Ths Government acknowledges that It was advised of the Steel Corpora tlon'i* Intention In this respect, but state 1 that, under the terms of the 'ease no cancellation would be ef? fective until January 1. 1915. an 1 there is no limit upon tho amount of ore that can be taken out in the meantime.

The petition declares that E. H. Gary and Henry C. Frlck misled former President Roosevelt when they told him 'but but little benefit will come to the Steel Corporation In the purchase." "The President." it says, "was not made fully acquainted with the state of affairs In New York relevant to the translation, as they existed. If he had been fully advised he would lagen known that a desire to stop the panics was not the sole moving cause, but that there was also a desire and purpose to acquire the control of a company that had recently assumed s position of competition of great significance. "It Is certain that the Steel Cor ?lOtMlon availed bee If of the embar ?aaiment of Moore and Schley (New Vork brokers, who had large #hold <s of Tennessee stock, at a most erltlcsl period and the hnmmorlr.g of a general financial calamity to acquire the control of t competitor, taklnr "n a formidable aspect. "The < orporatlon thus greatly strengthened Its control of the SOUS try's Iron ore supply, tto predominat? ing position In the South's Iron and steel trade, eliminated u competitor and unlawfully acquired a power, which la a menu e to the welfare of the country, and should u- ggsjftfggfa sd." The * Oary dinners"" are referred to though not by name, as meetings which accomplished more thar writ? ten pools or agreements. which were frequently broken. "It was understood und agre.-d."

Interlocking directorates. throuuh whb h those In power In the Steel Corp- r ? r, held positions of InhVenoo on the directorate of other powerful corporation*, are referred to ns "a method more refined, more euphon? ious, but none the ggfj gs*sOCf?f 'I kg poo IS." "Through Its gkfOelOfg thus dis? tributed." says tb. Government'* pe? tition, "the corporation Is In direct touch with ill of the large railroad and steamship companies of the Uni? ted States, such powerful eoncerr.s as the Standard Oil Company, the Pull? man Company, the 1 ntvrnnttonal Har? vester Company and the Western Union Telegraph Company, and with the overw helming majority. In money and power, of hanks and trust com? panies of the Cnlted States. The pos? sibilities of the powaf and Oontro] that may thus be exerted over trad, and commerce ir inestimable. J "The power rind OOHtfOl thai baVi been exerted by the corporation largely through the grasp of Its ten- I acles, thus thrown out upon the con rumor, competitors and capital is in? compatible with the healthy commer? cial life of the nation." j The Government reviews In great detail the conditions in the steel trade before the consolidation of 1898-1 1899 and the formation of the Fed? eral Steel Company, the Carnegie 8ted and Wire Company, the Nat? ional Tube Company, the National J Steal Company, the American Tin Company and other corporations prior to the formation of the United States 1 Steel Corporation Itself in 1901. Describing the corporation's acquisi- I Ion of the Tennessee Coal and Iron and Railroad Company, the petition 1 relates: I "In 1907 the corporation acquired! the control and almost entire owner- I t-hlp of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and | Railroad Company. The properties I of this company were located mainly J in Alabama and Tennessee. "Owing to the character of its conl I md iron deposits, the Tennessee Com- j pany could manufacture pig iron I cheaper than it could be made In I any other part of the United States. I On nccount of Its vast holdings of I conl and iron properties it was a I strong probable future competitor of I the '* >rporatlon. Moat of the rails in j the United States have been made out j of Bessemer ores.. On account of hc- J cidents. attributed to weakness in I such rails, a demand arose for an I open hearth rail and for such process 1 the ores owned by the Tennessee I Company were ncallable. "In 1907 a sensation was created I In the steel rail market by E. II. Har- I riman ordering from Tennessee com- I pany 167.500 tons of open hearth I steel rails, at $1 more per ton than I the price of Ressemer rails. This at j once put that company into a posl-1 don of an actual competitor, that I could not be Ignored, of great poten- I tiallty. The corporation was not slow J to discover the situation. James Gay- I ley. first vice president of the cor-1 poratlon, having acquainted himself I with the properties of the Tennessee J company, had already recommended J to Mr. Frlck, who was then a direr- j tor of the corporation, that it acquire the properties of the Tennessee com* j pany. "Grant R. Schley, of the firm of I Moore and Schley and Co. was one I of the syndicate holding a majority I ?>f the stock. This was known to the I offleers of the corporation. Moore and J Schley, In October. 1907, owed large I sums of money In New York and else- I where, from $35.000,000 to $38.000, 0C0, upon call and time loans which j were running to maturity. louts of I these loans were partly secured by I plodge of 100.000 shares of the Ten- I nessee stock, the amount fluctuating. "In October, 1907, the great panic I came and New York was the storm I centre. "Those In control of the corpor? ation obtained knowledge of the af? fairs of Moore and Schley and of thalr holdings of Tennessee stock. The condition of Moore and Schley and the character of their stock holdings, luch as Tennessee stock, Iron and Steel Btock and other industrials, was ciscussed on the street among bank? ers and the question of tholr falluro v as mooted. The Tennessee sto. k v a* especially subjected to 'criticism Htid. In Wall street parlance, was hammered as collateral. II. C. Prick | and K. II. Gary, representing the t rporatlon. took up the negotiations with Schley for the purchase of the syndicate ?to k of the Tennessee com? pany offering hin?, first, the equiva? lent of 60 per cent, and afterwards 75. on the dollar In cash for the s oek. which he declined.

This announcement helped, materially to cause a run on the said TrtlSt Company and aggravated the general uneasy condition and made the position of Moore and Schley more desperate. It wa ? generally known hat Thome and Scniey were members of the Tennessee syndicate. "Regardless of the Intent in giving out the statement?and the facts that are not sufficiently known c mike any change In this regard?the fact is that it contributed directly and strongly toward bringing Moore and Schley to a point of Imminent fall- j ure, although they were amply sol- J vent. Their condition had become I desperate. It being generally regard- j ed by bankers and financiers that I their failure might precipitate a gen- j oral crisis, they, J. P. Morgan and Company taking the lead, exerted J themselves by advances of ready mon? ey to meet the pressing demands and I otherwise to prevent their suspension. J Much of the effort, however, revolved about the proposition for the cor- J poration to acquire the stock of the! Tennessee company. Nothing less I than the control of the Tennessee J company was considered by the cor-1 poration and negotiations proceeded I rapidly and steadily to that end, it being represented to Fchley that in J no other way could relief be brought. I "There was fear upon the part of J the corporation that when the move- J ment became publicly known the J Government might take steps to pre- | vent its consummation. In view of J this, E. H.

President I J that the only thing that would pre-J vent a vicious spread of the panic was for the corporation to acquire! the stock of the Tennessee company. "The President recorded, in a let- j ter to the Attorney General, written In their presence, their representa-j tlons. He states that the said Gary and Frick told him that there was a certain business firm which would fall should aid not ho given, and that among Its assets were a majority of the securities of the Tonnessee Coal Company.

Columbia, Oct. 2$.?The State fair ?the week when those politically in? clined meet in the capital city t'j feel the pulse of the situation?will be held here next week and the indic? ations are that there will be many a conference held. All the politicians come down to Columbia and all the wo\ild-be politicians too. "Wait until after the State fair and I will tell you more aboui he situa? tion." is an expression n heard when the political situation is being discussed. The indications are that there will be only two candidates in the race governor?Ira B. Jones and the pres? ent governor. However, the State fair conference may change the situ? ation, but that is hardly probable. The most likely candidate that might enter the race is John G. Rich? ards, Jr.. a member of the railroad commission. He has never said that he will not enter the race and there are many who believe that he would like to try his hand again. NEGRO FOUND GUILTY. Titus Williams Disappears Before Cast* Conies to Trial. The case of Titus Willams, alleged to have sold whiskey on the after? noon of the 26th to an old white man, was taken up Friday after? noon In the Recorder's court and he was found guilty by the jury to whom the testimony was .submitted. The case was tried Thursday after nocn before Alderman R. L. Wright, acting recorder, and resulted in a mistrial. Friday the case was taken up again with Mr. J. H. Clifton rep? resenting the city and Mr. Geo. D. I^evy the defendant. When the time came for trial the defendant did not show up, and, despite the request of defendant's attorney for a continuance until he could be found, the case went to trial without his being pres? ent. Only two witnesses were put up by the State, Mr. H. G. McKagen, who had made the arrest and Mr. J. M. Barwick, who had seen tho al? leged purchase of the liquor in the defendant's, restaurant. The defense tried to make out a case on the fact that the defendant had told Mr. McKagen that he had sent out for the whiskey by a boy named Fay, who had taken the mon? ey and got the whiskey, and who was guilty of selling the whiskey. The jury brought in a verdict of guilty. NAMED AS POSTMASTER. Robert L. Gantt to Succeed L. F. Emunuel at Horden. _ Washington, Oct. 26.?Robert L.

MAXWELL TEAM WINS FAMOUS AUTOMOBILE TROPHY. Handsome Bowl Goes to Governor of Georgia, Who is Lucky in the Drawing of Lots. Jacksonville, Fla., Oct. 26.?In one of the hardest rainy that has plotted this section in many months, the Glidden tourists commenced to at rive here at noon, and by 1 o'clock prac? tically all Cars had assembled on St. John's avenue, where they were met by at least 100 automobiles from Jack? sonville. A parade was given through the principal streets of the city, head? ed by a brass band, the streets along the route, despite the heavy down pour of rain, being thronged with spectators, and the mud-covered oars were heartily applauded as they pass? ed. The Maxwell team, entered by the Tarrytown factory, came in with a perfect score. This team will be awarded the famous Glidden trophy, and the Anderson trophy went to Gov. Holet Smith's Maxwell. Miss Marks of Athens, Ga., the only woman driver in the tour, pushed her machine through to Jacksonville with a perfect score. Tonight the touriscs are being en? tertained at a banquet at the Wind soi hotel and by a smoker at the board of trade. The run of 86 miles from Live Oak to Jacksonville was the hardest 'the Gliddenites have struck in the tour. The roads were heavy and crooked, and it took some skillful driving to negotiate the curves and dips. For? tunately no cars came to grief. In the drawing held at the hoard of trade auditorium this evening, Gov. Hoke Smith's Maxwell car, No. 4, drew the winning number and was awarded the Anderson trophy. There were 14 Individual cars with perfect scores. Big Bargain Day for Sumtcr, Thurs? day, November 23rd.
