Gary, chair, man of the board of directors o the United States Steel Corpo ration. To have supervision over the regulation of such licenses he advised that a corporation commission bo or ganized with power to grant and revoke licenses and to regulate prices. "Provision should bo made to take appeals from the commission's ruling the commerce court," Mr. Gary said, "Publicity of corporation affairs Is the greatest need at present, as this would do much to force corporations to live up to the law." Among the conditions required of cor porations, desiring a Federal license, according to Mr. Gary’s plan, are no over-capltallizatlon, uniform prices to all customers without discrimination and conformity to the laws of the Unit, ed States. The great consolidation created dur ing the last fifteen years," said Judge Gary, "may be of great public benefit for the following reasons: "1. Their large resources and study of the foreign trade and development to an extent Impossible tn smell corpora tlons. "2. The development of new methods. -8. The effecting of economies reduc ing the cost of production and conser vation of natural resources by special ized production, the utilization of by products and the avoidance of useless transportation.

The transfer of ownership of com paratlvely few persons to a large num. ber of persons. "This power might be used to the detriment of the republic,'" said Judge Gary. “It Is necessary, therefore, to find some plan for securing the benefit and eliminating - th»c danger. The Federal government Is tho only power to regu late these largo organizations, most of the business of which Is Interstate trade.

USE GEORGIAN WANT AD8. Denver, Colo., Nov. 29.—The Patter- eon Jury announced that It has reached an agreement. They are trying to get Judge Allen to como to court In order that tho verdict In tho Gertrude Gib son Patterson case may be returned immediately. At 12:13 p. m. court at taches stated that there Is no hope of getting tho Judge Into court before 2 o'clock. He Is now believed to he on his way to Falrmount cemetery to at tend the burial of Judge Bliss. The Jury started for lunch at 12:22 o'clock. They will be gone an hour at least. After considering the fate of Mrs. Pat. terson for twelve hours, tho Jury at 9:40 o’clock this morning announced that they had been unable to agree on n verdict This Information was tele phoned to Judge Allen, who was at his home waiting to hear from the Jury. Ho Immediately sent word to the Jury room that he would not come down this morning, but would reconvene .court at 2 o’clock this afternoon, after the fu neral of Judge Bliss had been held. Contrary to reports, the Jury up to the time the members were taken to breakfast this morning had taken no formal ballot. Tho case was discussed pro and con last night for nearly two hours before the Jury retired, and again this morning for an hour before break fast The general Impression around the criminal court Is that the Jury will bring In a verdict for a less degree than demanded by the state. The Jury may return any. one of five verdicts, as follows: First degree murder, with the option of fixing the punishment at death or lm- primmmriit for UfC. Second degree murder, which carries a sentence by the court of from ten years to life imprisonment Voluntary manslaughter, Imprison ment for not less than one nor more •ban eight years. Involuntary manslaughter, Imprison ment In the county Jail for not more than one year. Not guilty, which Is equivalent to a verdict of Justifiable homicide. Daylight was Just beginning to break when crowds began to gather around the court house where the final scene In Gertrude Gibson Patterson's trial for the murder of her husband, Charles A. Patterson, Is expected to be enacted this morning. In the meantime, In a small steel- barred cel! at the county Jail a 'little woman, only a shadow of her former beautiful self, waited and hoped for an acquittal verdict which she believed rightfully belonged to her.

BLEASE’S CHARGES FAILED TO LAND HIM Mrs. Carey's Turkey and Chickens Fattening at the Tower ■After Being Rescued From Justice Court—She May Now Recover Xhem in Time for Annual Feast. If the attaches of Justice Jackson’s Court had whet their Thanksgiving qp- petlte for Mrs. Mary. Carey’sdone tur key and eighteen hens, keen disappoint ment was with them Wednesday a noon when the birds passed Into the hands of Sheriff Mangum. If Mrs. Carey herself* Is planning the doom of the. gobbler for her Thanksgiving feast, quick action is necessary, or she, too, will*suffer keen disappoint ment. The failure of the latter event wiirhand the prize to the sheriff. It was R. M. Bell, a, bailiff in Justice Jackson’s court, who * first banked on Mrs. Caroy’s single turkey and her eighteen hens. The birds in question had been tin- slakes of an action brought In Judge Jaeksonls court. Mrs. Carey won the Judgment which In volved the fowls. Execution of the Judgment was slow and the turkey and the chickens continued to nibble corn under protection of tho Justice court.

Somebody said that the birds were fattening on the court’s corn and that tho turkey was looking especially flno. This proved too much for Mrs. Carey, and Hh»* sought a lawyer -T. H. Hig- den. He got out a ball‘trover and Dep uty Sheriff Chambers served the re plevin Wednesday noon. Now the lone turkey and the eighteen hens are choking on the sheriff’s corn Just under a window In the Tower building, and their feeding noises are having an effect upon th,e sheriff's crew exactly like that exhibited by the court attaches. If Mrs. Carey, gets Into the sheriff’s office before 6 o'clock on Wednesday afternoon and puts up the necessary bond, she will land the birds In time for Thanksgiving. If sho doesn’t, things may happen. In any event, the lono gobbler Is sure to lose, and he Is eating tho sheriff’s. grain with an eager air that proclaims his knowledgo of the sadrfact.
