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

problem. One London newspaper has

SHIPPERS OPPOSE
INCREASE OF RATES
Argument Presented That Sit
uation Affects All Classes
of Industries.
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.

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.

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. Sena

ere settled he expected little trouble
in bringing the remainder of the bill
