NEGRO SUPPORT
. DESERTS TOT. R.
Taft Loses Mississippi’s In
structed Votes—B. Wash
ington Works for Teddy.
JACKSON. MISS.. May 6—Booker
T Washington's influence is at work
In Mississippi among the negro dele
gates to the Republican national con
vention from this state to switch them
from Taft to Roosevelt, and some of
the administration leaders are begin
ning to feel that they made a serious
mistake In giving the negroes equal
representation on the delegation, ten
Os the twenty delegatee chosen being
members of the colored race.
It is certain that two of the dele
gates—P W. Howard, of Jackson, and
Charles Ranks, of Mound Bayou—will
not vote for Taft, despite the instruc
tions of the state convention.
Banks is Booker Washington's closest
friend and ally in Mississippi, and is
quietly at work lining up the negro del
egates for Roosevelt.
At the time of his selection as dele
gate Howard declared himself a
Roosevelt supporter, and in an inter
view has just declared that nothing has
occurred since the district convention
to cause him to change his mind.
Whether the administration leaders
can hold the negro delegates in line re
mains to be seen. They profess to feel
no uneasiness nn the subject, beliving
that all delegates will stand bv the in
structions of the convention
However, Ranks Is among the
shrewdest leaders his race has devel
oped in Mississippi since the days of
John R Lynch and Jim Hill.

FIGHT TO SMASH
STEEL TRUST ON
Theodore Roosevelt To Be
Called as Witness to Tell
of the Deal.
NEW YORK, May s.—Prominent cor
poration lawyers and men high in the
affairs of the world of big business
gathered in the customs house today 7
for the opening of the government's
suit for the dissolution of the United
States Steel Corporation. Henry 7 T.
Brown, the examiner appointed by the
United States circuit court, had all ar
rangements made to begin taking tes
timony in the action this morning.
In all probability Theodore Roosevelt
will be a witness when the absorption
of the Tennessee Coal and Iron Com
pany comes up in the proceedings.
It is expected that the hearings here
will last two months, and more wit
nesses will be called than in either the
Standard Oil or the American Tobacco
Company cases. The suit will even
tually be carried tfc the United States
supreme court, no matter which way
the circuit court disposes of ft.
Most Sweeping
AntLTrust Action.
This suit is the most sweeping anti
trust action ever brought by the gov
ernment. It was filed at Trenton on
October 26 last The government asks
not only for the dissolution of the
United States Steel Corporation, but of
Its 36 subsidiary companies as well. It
is alleged that they all have combined
to “maintain or attempt to maintain a
monopoly of the steel business."
Among the prominent defendants
who are. named individually are J. P
Morgan John D. Rockefeller. Andrew
Carnegie, Charles M Schwab, George
W. Perkins, E. H. Gary, John D. Rocke
feller, Jr.. Henry C. Frick. Charles
Steele. James Gayley. William H.
Moore, J. H. Moore, E. C, Converse,
Percival Roberts. Jr.. Daniel G. Reid.
Norman R. Ream, P A. R Widener
and William P. Palmer.
This feature of the case is of par
ticular interest just now, because many
believe it was the allegation about the
former president, which he later vigor
ously denounced, that caused the final
break between him and President. Taft,
whom he held responsible for it, and
because in a statement Issued last night
ox President Roosevelt charges that
President Taft repeatedly and emphat
ically approved of his course in up
holding the Tennessee Coal and Iron
deal.
