LEGALIZE TRUSTS
ffILW ffll
Minority Report of Steel Prob
ers Urges Federal Supervi
sion Instead of Dissolution.
WASHINGTON, July 29.—Legaliza
tion of trusts and plating them under
Federal control is advocated by three
Republican members of the Stanley
gt eel investigating committee of the
houf representatives in a minority
report to be submitted to congress to
jtv The majority report, which is not
otnpleted; will not be submitted until
lat-’f.
The minority report was signed by
Representatives Gardner of Massachu
setts. Young of Michigan, and Danforth
of New York. Representative Young
submitted an additional statement, and
Representative Sterling, of Illinois, who
believes in dissolving the big combina
tions. will submit a separate report.
Hits $50,000,000 Corporations.
The report advocates the creation of
an interstate commission of industry,
tn he clothed with extensive powers of
regulation, and with power to fix rea
sonable prices for the output of corpo-'
rations. The report would require that
all corporations capitalized at $50,000.-
nnt) or more operate under a charter to
be issued by the I'nited States, before
engaging in interstate commerce.
Sm ill 1 ’! corporations might avail them
selves of the Federal charter at their
own option.
All corporations availing themselves
of the I'nited States charter would be
recapitalized at their actual value.
The Republican members make it
plain that the report is not an expres
sion of Republican policy or dictated by
the Republican administration, insist
ing that the committee membets stand
an their own bottom in enunciating
heir views.
The report does not spare the steel
trust or its organizers. J. P. Morgan <Sr
Co, are credited with a profit of $62.-
Swi.non for underwriting the organiza
■ ion of the I'nited States Steel corpo
ration. Labor conditions in the steel j
mills are declared bad, and a sugges
tion is made to the corporation to ini-I
prove them by working mill hands in
>ight instead of twelve-hour shifts.
What Minority Finds.
The report summarizes its Findings
as follows:
"The corporation was capitalized at
$1.4011.000.000. of which nearly one-half
was 'water.'
"The average annual earnings of the
corporation, have been from II to 12
per .ent on the actual value of its
assets.
The corporation controls a little over
one-half the crude and finished steel
business of the I'nited States.
"The average wholesale price of steel
products has fallen off since the Corpo
ration was organized.
"The corporation and all Hie inde
pendents have an understanding as to
prices.
"The system of interlocking directo
rates has insidious consequences and
facilitates 'inside management' anil the
stifling of competition.
"The situation to iron ore supply
is grave and may become menacing.
Labor conditions in certain depart
ments of the steel industry are bad.”
Minority Recommendations.
The minority epitomizes its recoin- ,
niendations as follows:
All corporations exceeding $50,000, • |
in capitalization or valuation must
In . onie I'nited States corporations be
fore entering interstate commerce. For
smaller corporations I'nited States
charters are voluntary.
"All I'nited States corporations must
be recapitalized at their actual value.
"An interstate commission of indus
try, like the interstate commerce com
’’ i-sion. to be established. Publicity to
tn' provided I'or.
'When the price fixed by a I'nited
■''tat - corporation has been found to
b 1 unreasonable, the interstate com
mission of industry must publicly de
clare that fact and recommend a rea
sonable price.
"Interlocking directorates and 'hold
irg' companies forbidden except whi n
'’'"milled by interstate commission of
industry.
If foregoing recommendations shall
prme insufficient to meet the trust prob
m. the interstate commission of in
dustry ought to be given a carefully
Guarded power to decree maximum

HER LOVE FOR COUNT
NOT DIMMED BY HIS
UNPAID BOARD BILL
CHICAGO, July 29.—Unpaid board
bills are not going to cheat Miss Mar
garet Lorenz, once a housekeeper, of
her romance. She prepared today to
wed Herman Karl Theodore Marla
Merbach Gelder VonEgmout. Miss Lo
renz declared that Herman is decidedly
Bierman and, in spite of the fact that
he was ejected from the Blackstone
hotel when he failed to pay his board,
she still believes he is a count.
The Blackstone hotel is holding the
man's grip and shotgun in lieu of the
payment of a five days bill, while the
manager of a garage haunted the foot
steps of the pair In an effort to collect
a bill of $148.75.
Edwin Wolff has come forward with
the assertion that the "count" and he
formerly were employed in the same
saloon as porters.
The count says his bill will be paid
as soon as his servant, sent on an er
rand to New York, returns with his
pocketbook.
BLOOD TRANSFUSION
FAILS TO SAVE GIRL,
CLERK TO REP. LEE
WASHINGTON, July 29.- Blood from
her brother's veins was transfused into
her own by surgeons yesterday in a
futile effort to save the life of Miss
Jean Searles, of Vicksburg, Miss., sec
retary to RepreSntative Gordon Lee, of
Georgia.
Miss Searles was taken ill a week
ago, and during this time had lost a
large quantity of blood. The surgeons
determined two days ago that she would
be unable to live without a fresh supply
of blood. Her brother, Thomas Searles,
volunteered, and permitted the sur
geons to open his own veins.
The effect was only temporary, how
ever. and was offset by repeated hem
orrhages. She died a few hours later.

ARMY WORM LOSS IN
GEORGIA IS $1,000,000
WASHINGTON. July 29.—The army
worm wil do $1,000,000 worth of dam
age to the corn, cotton and other crops
of Georgia, according to an estimate by
the state entomologist of Georgia, in a
report to the department of agricul
ture. What the amount of injury will
be in the other Southern states which
the pest has invaded has not yet been
figured, although It is feared that farm
ers and planters will suffer heavily.
Batov's
Every woman's heart responds to
the charm and sweetness of a baby's
voice, because nature intended her for
motherhood. But even the loving
nature of a mother shrinks from the
ordeal because such a time is usually
a period of suffering and danger.
Women who use Mother’s Friend are
saved much discomfort and suffering,
and their systems, being thoroughly
prepared by this great remedy, are
in a healthy condition to meet the
time with the least possible suffering
and danger. Mother’s Friend is
recommended only for the relief and
comfort of expectant mothers; it is in
no sense a remedy for various ills,
but its many years of success, and
the thousands of endorsements re
ceived from women who have used it
are a guarantee of the benefit to be
derived from its use. This remedy
does not accomplish wonders but sim
ply assists nature to perfect its work.
Mother’s Friend allays nausea, pre
vents caking of 4
