Far- rel, president of the United States Steel corporation, resumed the witness stand today for the defense in the hearing-s of the government suit to dis solve the corporation. He pictured the corporation as an industrial benefac tor. He said that were It not for the policy of the corporation to do a “gen eral business regardless of 'conditions,” the cotton .crop of thb United States this year could not be marketed. He ex plained that the corporation supplied practically all the cotton ties used for -binding cotton baled in the country, , : and that there was no profit in their manufacture. “Our competitors.” he said, “have shown no desire to manufacture cotton ties, so it devolved upon us to supply the demand. It is not an attractive -business, but last year we supplied the compress men in the south with 1.900,- 000 bundles at 85 cents a bundle. If we should stop manufacture, the cotton crop this year would lie on the ground. “The government at the time of the recent floods.” he continued, “needed steel piling to strengthen the levee at New Orleans. We got a rush order for 615,000 tons on Tuesday and In spite of the fact that we were very busy we delivered it on Tuesday next, eighty-six hours before the 1iigh waters arrived. We always give preference' to govern ment work..” The cost of production of steel was greater in America than in European countries. Mr. Farrell testified. He said the wages paid abroad were 37 per cent to 38 per cent less than here, freight rates were lower and shipping facilities for export trade were better. Pig iron could be manufactured in India and laid down in Calcutta at $5.88 a ton. he added, and there was now under way in a sailing vessel from that pofrt to San Francisco the first cargo of Indian pig iron ever brought to this country. The freight was $5.50 a ton and under the new duty the tariff 11 cents. Thus the pig iron would be laid down in San Francisco at a cost of about $11.50. Chinese pig iron rould be laid down in San Francisco under the new duty for $10.78. The present mar ket price for pig iron on the Pacific coast is $21.50. “Did you tell Mr. Underwood about that?” asked Judge Dickinson, counsel for the government. “I don't think it would make any difference with him.” smiled the wit ness. CONGRESSMAN LINDQUIST WANTS PURE FOOD SHOE BILL PASSED Wants Government to Require Correct Labels on "Leather 1 ' Shoes Built of Paper and "Silks” Made of Gun-Cotton BY RALPH SMITH. WASHINGTON, May 13.—With “leather” shoes made of paper, and “silk” goods made of gun cotton, Con gressman F. O. Lindquist, of Michi gan, believes he will be able to con vince doubting legislators that his pure leather and fabric measure should be enacted into law. After months of preparation, Mr. Lindquist announced today that the final touches had been put on his bill, and that it would be introduced immediately. As soon as it is referred to the committee on inter state and foreign commerce, he pro poses to begin a campaign to secure its early consideration. The members of that committee have not been appointed, but they will be named within the next few weeks. Mr. Lindquist has prepared an elab orate display as an argument for his bill. He has soles of adulterated leather, which crack almost in two when they are bent. Beside them he has soles of the same weight, which are made of solid leather, but which are so pliable thpy can be bent double without injury. He has cross sections of shoes, show ing that some heavily advertised brands are made for the most part of paper. The counters are of paper, all but the last two layers of the heels are paper, and even the soles are more than half paper. FILLED WITH GLUCOSE. Mr. Lindquist says he is prepared to show that many light cheap leath ers are “filled” with glucose, so as to make them heavy and salable as sub stantial goods. He claims that the ma terial with which the goods are treated costs but 3 cents a pound. The addi tional weight brings the dealer 40 cents or a profit of 37 cents because of the adulteration. There are many “fakes,” which Mr. Lindquist says he will show the com mittee. He has sole leather made of fine bits of leather, pressed together in such a way that it passes for a solid piece. He has paper soles, highly pol ished which deceive the sophisticated. Mr. Lindquist claims that some of the worst deceptions are found in the so-called “silks” of today. He contends that one concern, which for years sup plied American markets with “silks” made of gun cotton on the European side, has opened a factory on this side of the Atlantic and is doing a big busi ness. WANTS TO LABEL GOODS. It is the Michigan man’s idea to guar antee pure leathers and fabrics to the consuming public today In much the same way that they are guaranteed pure food. He proposes that every garment, which enters interstate commerce, shall be labeled, the label showing whether it is the “real” article or a counter feit. If a suit is of pure wool he pro poses the label shall tell the story; if it is not, then the label must tell what part of it is of cotton or shoddy. Mr. Lindquist, who was elected on the mail order plan, says he has sent out nearly 2,000,000 pieces of literature on his biil. He says he has covered ev ery congressional district with requests that the people living in * them write to their congressman ir. support of the bill. “I have the promise of over 6.000 women’s clubs to co-operate with me,” said Mr. Lindquist. “I am satisfied that the countrywide interest will result in the passage of this bill. Our govern ment has long maintained a department for the purpose of testing and analyzing the various products purchased under contract for government supplies. This is done to protect the government against graudulent practices and coun terfeit goods. The public demands the same protection.” ILL SORTS AF TIGERS HIT BY THIS DECISION CHARGES OF PEONAGE IN W. VIRGINIA COAL FIELDS WASHINGTON. May 13.—Charges of peonage, "medieval feudalism,and op- —qpression of the workers in the Paint Creek and Cabin Creek coal fields a of t’West Virginia were laid before Senator *2 Kern today by representatives of the '"State Federation of Labor and Miners’ unions. The senator expected to use the charges in support of h^s resolution for a congressional investigation of the sit- _ uatlon. Conies of resolutions adopted ? by the miners, declaring “a Baptist church could not be organized Without consent of the forty-three mine man- , agers,” were left with the senator. ■FOUR TRAINMEN INJURED IN HEAD-ON COLLISION . MOBILE. Ala., May 13.—Passenger _ train No. 103 of the Mobile and Ohio, ' - Montgomery branch and an extra freight train collided head-on at Vicks, Ala., late yesterday afternoon, both engines being practically demolished. The crews ' of both locomotives jumped when it was seen that a collision was inevitable, » and four were injured, two seriously. The accident was caused by the crew -jof the freight train overlooking the .-.schedule of the passenger, which was "-running about fifteen jninutes late. Traffic was tied up on the line until early this morning. The passengers on the local were badly shaken up, but none was injured. MR IN EARNEST ON FEES Recommends Bill to Have All County Offices Placed on Salary Basis ROME, Ga., Bay 13.—A war on the fee systejn in county offices has been inaugurated by the Floyd county grand jury. In the presentments just made there is a recommendation that the rep resentatives from this county introduce a bill transferring all county offices from the fee to the salary system. The example of Fulton county in this re gard is cited as a model. Inasmuch as Floyd is one of the largest counties in th£ state, and the fees of the tax collector and other of ficials considerably exceed any salary they would be apt to receive, it is ex pected that the officeholders and their cpterie of friends will resist before the legislature. The members of the grand jury ap pear to be thoroughly in earnest, and have appointed a committee to take the matter in hand. They ffEblare they do not intend for their recommendations to be ignored, as has been done with the previous grand juries’ recommendations, and some lively presentments are ex pected. COUSIN’OF GENERAL BELL IS CHARGED WITH MURDER CINCINNATI, May 13.— J. B„ Beil, a "traveling salesman of Greenville, Miss., and said to be a cousin of General J. Franklin Bell, of the United States army, was charged with murder by the Cincinnati police, after the death last night of John A. Hoover, an attendant at a sanitarium at College Hill. Bell, who was a patient at the sanitarium, hit Hoover with a croquet mallet. The police believe Bell is suffering from a severe mental derangement and the charge of murder will probably not be pressed. • The man, however, may be tried by the probate court.

Supreme Court Holds That Forgotten Statute Applies Without Distinction Another bludgeon was placed in the hands of the militant prohibitionists of Georgia Tuesday morning by the state supreme court when it upheld a strict application of the statute, enacted sev eral years ago. under which any citi zen is permitted to sue for the abate ment of a “blind tiger” as a nuisance. The general public has heard little of that statute. Now it becomes suddenly quite important. In effect, the supreme court held that a. liquor establishment conducted in vio lation of law is- by reason of that fact a “blind tiger,” and therefore a nuisance within the contemplation of the statute. Judge Walter G. Charlton, in the su perior court at Savannah, had charged a Jury down there that if the establish ment of Simmons & Co., in Savannah, was operating openly and above board, it could not be held to be a “blind tiger;” that it must be shown to have operated surreptitiously and furtively in order to be branded as a “blind tiger” and os be subjected to the specific nuis- I ance abatement statute. Under Judge Charlton's charge, the members of the jury found that Sim mons Co. were not maintaining a puisance. The petitioners besought a new trial, which the judge refused; and they appealed to the state supreme court, which upholds them and re verses the judge, ordering a new trial on the ground that Judge Charlton’s charge was in error. Any sale of liquor in violation of law Is a blind tiger operation, says the high court, and nothing more has to be estab lished to identify it as such. Seaborn Wright, of Rome, one of the foremost prohibition leaders of Georgia, came down to Atlanta and argued this case in behalf of the petitioners, Thomp son et al., before the state supreme court.
