Countless suggestions for the care of the refugees have.been made. These include colonization In Ireland and the establishment of new lace factories and similar industries. The fact that British unemployment has been in creased by the war accentuates the problem. One London newspaper has collected more than J155.000 for the refugees. This same paper has published an Interview with King Albert, who ex presses his gratituae ior wnat nas been done on behalf of "poor Belgium, now merely the edge of a nation." The King urges that work be given the Belgians and that they be not supported by charity. . - Lord Gladstone saioT today: "We still want acceptable homes, warm Winter clothing and shoes.

PHILADELPHIA. Oct. 20. The first formal step in the suit of the Federal Government to break up the United States Steel Corporation was taken today before four Judges sitting for the federal district of New Jersey. Jacob M. Dickinson. ex-Sei:retary of War, who has been in charge of the Government's side of the case since it was instituted, in October, 1911, took ud the entire day in arguing for th separating into independent units of all the subsidiaries of the billion-dollar corporation on the ground that their combination into one gigantic concern constituted a violation of the anti trust laws. History of Industry Reviewed. Counsel for the Government told the court that the corporation, in magni tude and strength, is the'greatest con? ) blnation of capital ever brought to gether under one control. Mr. Dickin . son began his argument by going, back more than a score of years into the history of American industries. He told of the sharp competition that then ex isted in the iron, steel, tinplate and kindred Industries; of how pools were formed in the steel rail field - and how agreements were made between manu facturers of iron and steel to keep up prices; how captains of industry schemed to put each other out of busi ness, and gradually led up to the for mation of the gigantic corporation now under fire. Mr. Dickinson told how the five great industrial and financial interests came together and formed the Steel Corporation in 1901. The five great in terests he named were headed by the late J. P. Morgan. Andrew Carnegie, W. H. & J. H. Moore, John W. Gates and John D. Rockefeller. He went into intricate detail to show how the Steel Corporation's capital of more than $1,400,000,000 was made up and he charged that more than $500,000,000 of this is water. Crashing of Competition Charged, Continuing his story, Mr. Dickinson told how the Steel Corporation and its subsidiaries kept up prices and he said that the men at the head of the big combination in every way possible re strained trade -and crushed out com petitors. The famous Gary dinners were touched upon at great length. Mr. Dickinson said that at these dinners about SO per cent of the iron and steel manufacturers of the United States would come toegther and that a gen eral understanding would be reached to maintain prices. Those attending these dinners included, he said, not only representatives of the Steel Cor poration and its constituent concerns, but also representatives of steel in dustries outside the alleged trust. The purchase by the Steel Corpora tion of the Tennessee Coal, Iron & Railroad Company during the money panic of 1907, in which President lloosevelt figured, was also touched on by Mr. Dickinson. He said that the Steel Corporation did not purchase the lennessee stock from the New York brokers, who were said to be in finan cial trouble, through any patriotic mo tives to prevent the panic from spread ing, but to get control of the company. Carnegie Letter Brines Smile. In the course of his arguments Mr. Dickinson read letters and minutes of corporation meetings.- One letter tha caused a smile to go around and less ened the solemnity of the courtroom was written by Andrew Carnegie at Skibo Castle, Scotland, in 1899. It ap pears that Mr. Carnegie s company, with the Illinois Steel and other con cerns, were in a steel rail pool. Mr. Carnegie wrote a letter to his com pany, which appeared on the minutes. saying that the Illinois company was i0.000 tons ahead of its proportion of tlie steel rail business and that it was bad policy to allow the Carnegie Com pany's proportion of orders to fall below that of others. He said: "If you can fill next year at present PTices, you have at least forty miHions profit but it may be fifty. To wan more than- that seems wicked." At another time when competition was brisk, before the days of the Steel Corporation and there was scramble among manufacturers for business,. Mr. Carnegie wrote to his partners: it i were uzar i would make no dividends on common stock, save all surplus and spend it for a hoop and cotton tie mill, for wire and nail mills, forvtube mills, for lines of boats on th lakes for our manufactured articles and bring back scrap." Richard V. Lindabury, of Newark. N. J., will open the argument for the Steel Corporation tomorrow after Mr. Dickinson concludes. There is a long list of lawyers to be heard.

DIVIDENDS ARE CRITICISED Railroad President Says Investor Wants Income, Not -Property and That Personal Interest in Companies Is Remote. leutions case against Mrs. Florence JConklin Carman, on trial in the Supreme Court here for the murder of Mrs. Louise Bailey, will be completed tomorrow. District Attorney Smith made this nnouncement at the close of a day pent in drawing from a score of wit nesses a chain of preliminary circum stantial evidence by which he hopes to link Mrs. Carman directly with the com mission of the crime. Many of today's witnesses were called to establish the alleged motive jeal ousy. One was Mrs. Elizabeth Varance trained nurse, whose face Mrs. Car man slapped when she saw Dr. Carman give her money and allow her to kiss him, it was testified. Another was Gas ton Bolssanault, ex-chief of the Cana dian secret service, and now manager of the company that sold the wife of the physician a mechanical eaves dropper" so she might hear what went on in her husband's private office when women patients were there. ' A new fact was developed which the prosecution seemed to consider signifi cant. Physicians who performed the autopsy on the victim of the tragedy in the doctor's office testified that she would have become a mother had she lived. The state-'s two star witnesses will testify tomorrow. One is Celia Cole man, the negro maid, and the other is Frank Farrell, an unemployed engi neer. Celia Coleman's story as told to the grand jury was materially different from the one she told at the inquest. when her memory was faulty. The story she is expected to tell tomorrow is the one she related to the grand jury. i-arrell s story is to the effect that he was at the back door of rtie Carman house at the time of the shooting. He is quoted as saying he saw Mrs. Car man run into the house from the side yard directly after he heard the crash of breaking glass and the report of a revolver shot. Mrs. Carman today showed the effect of the strain she is under, but during the afternoon session she repeatedly suggested points to her counsel. GUN BASES MADE READY LETTER SATS GERMANS ERECTED PLATFORMS BEFORE WAR. Work Done in Basements of Fai Building; arenr Fortress of Man brace by Disciples of Mosul. SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 20. The minute care with which Germany pre pared for war is further related in letter by Jules Prevet. president of the Chamber of Commerce of Meaux, to his mother, now living here. "It has been found," writes M. Prevet, "that on a small farm eight miles from the fortress of Maubeuge, owned by Germans, concrete platforms were constructed long before the war, to receive the heavy German siege guns. They were built in the base ments of the farm buildings,, with holes and bolts in the concrete, ready to receive the guns the moment they were brought up. "The Germans who owned the prop erty gave as an excuse for this work that they were drilling for waters All these Germans were of Swiss citizen ship. This will show you once that Maggi. the traitor, has plenty of dis ciples." Maggi was a Swiss-German cook, who in 1870 worked out plans of the French fortifications in multicolored soup, which he served at his cafe to German officers. WASHINGTON. Oct. 20. That no condition confronts American railways that does not equally effect every other industry was the argument advanced before the Interstate Commerce Com mission today by counsel for shippers and shippers themselves against the petition of the Eastern roads for a gen eral increase of at least 5 per cent in freight rates. The attack of Special Counsel Bran deis on the policy of the railroads of maintaining their dividends without re spect to the financial straits in which they now find themselves received spe cial attention from Commissioner Meyer. Questioning both Daniel E. Willard, president of the Baltimore & Ohio Rail road, and Frederick W. Straus, of the New York banking house of W. & K. Seligman, Commissioner Meyer asked if stockholders should not be content to -draw their profits partly in the im provements of the properties and partly in cash. Both witnesses insisted that reduction of dividends would impair the credit of the lines. I "Bny-a-Share" Movement Unheard Of. Commissioner Meyer said he had heard of no proposal to start a "buy a share of railroad stock" movement. He asked Mr. Straus if statements of the witnesses as to the prospect of railway securities were in his opinion calculat ed to make such a movement possible. "Have you been accustomed." asked Commissioner Meyer, "to have the head of a great concern come to your office and offer you $20,000,000 of an issue of securities, at the same time saying he would not invest in them himself? In your opinion, how would that affect the credit of the company?" Undoubtedly It would tend to shake confidence," the witness replied. Reverting to the question of divi dends, Mr. Meyer asked If the witness did not believe a clientage of stock holders could be built up who would look on property improvements as a part of their legitimate dividends. Mr. Straus thought not. Investor Prefers Income. "Then the average stockholder in your opinion," said the Commissioner, "buys income, not property?" - "He has little personal interest In the property," was the reply. "It is too remote for him. He is interested in what he gets out of his Investment." In 'the course of the cross-examination of Mr. Willard, Commissioner Mc- Chord commented upon the amount the proposed 5 per cent Increase would realize, which he estimated at $50,000, 000, and asked if this would accomplish the correction of all the oppressive con ditions of which carriers complained. "The idea is that this $50,000,000," the Commissioner said, "will put the railroads on their feet and improve business in the country. The country seems to be arguing in favor of this increase. I see it in the press and in petitions which reach the Commission, and in reports from other parts of the country." Capital Harder to Kind. - "I have not spoken for the country," said Mr. Willard. , The only other witness of the day was Charles A. Conant, of New York, who appeared as an expert for the car riers to describe conditions in the money market arising from the .Eu ropean war. He predicted that the rail roads would find new capital hard to get because of the many loan flotations by belligerent countries. Increased earning capacity was imperative for the railroads, ho said, so their securi ties might be made so attractive that they would find a,narkeL Mr. Conant wair-oubjected to vigorous cross-examination, end counsel for the Commission asked if an advance in In terest rates would not bear equally as hard on shippers seeking new capital as on the railroads. The witness said American securities other than the rail roads had already paid high rates of interest, but added the shippers would face the same conditions. man blood and in many places covered with masses of corpses and scattered far and wide are disabled and useless Implements of war.

BEER TAX PROVES BAR HOUSE CONFEREES AGAINST CENTS ADDED BY SENATE. Five Cents a C.lln on Rectified Spirits Also Oppose and Gasoline Tax Insisted On. WASHINGTON, Oct. 20. At a con ference on the "war . tax" bill tonight the disagreement between the tw houses simmered down to three im portant particulars. The House con rerees stood out steadfastly agrains the Senate amendment which added 2 cents a barrel to the additional tax of 50 cents which the House bill origri nally levied on beer. They also vigorously opposed the Senate imposition of a tax of 5 cents grail on on rectified spirits. Instead of these provisions, Representative Under wood and his colleagues insisted th tbe tax or z cents a gallon on gaso line, written into the bill by the House, which the Senate eliminated, should be restored. Several hours of conferences failed to bring about an agreement on any of these points and the conference com mittee recessed until tomorrow.
