Gates told tne House "steel trust" In vestigating committee today the his tory of the United States Steel Corpora tion. Present at Its birth, he described how It waa the natural outcome of what he described as the refusal of Andrew Carnegie to be bound by the "gentle men's agreements" that marked the early days of open competition In the steel business. ' He also told of millions lost and cre ated almost In a breath: how the Car negie mills, appraised at 1160.000,000. were reorganised as worth $320,000,000 almost within th time required to make the transfer to the corporation; of tha clash In the formative days when John D. Rockefeller waa dissuaded from Joining In the creation of the trust. Rockefeller Forced to Sell. Relating how Carnegie had been forced to abandon plans for extending his steel business, Mr. Gates frankly admitted the combination was formed to throttle competition, and that, when John D. Rockefeller had sought to en ter th steel business, a deal waa put through which forced him to sell out for 40 cents on the dollar. "harcterlxlng Mr. Carnegie as a "bull In a china shop." Mr. Gates told of a midnight conference between him self. Charles M. Schwab and J. P.

O.. war factor that led to the birth of th steel combine. Mr. Gate revealed how Mr. Morgan, alarmed by Mr. Carnegie's plana, had sought the advice of himself and James J. Hill, how Charles M. Schwab, who. he said, waa the only man who had In fluence with Mr. Carnegie, was called In to suggest a way to "stop Carnegie" and how the pioneer steel king was curbed, though greatly to his financial gain. He explained that the steel business was threatened with several demoralis ing forces when Mr. Carnegie's plans became known and the other became alarmed, fearing that Carnegie would demoralize both railroad and steel In terests. Schwab Drew Carnegie In. This waa the situation as described by Mr. Gates, himself a director in the Republic Iron Steel Company, when Mr. Morgan aent word to him through Jame J.

Many federal of ficials. Including Jefes pollticos, have been killed, scores of others have been put in jail, stores have been looted and hundreds of people are on the verge of starvation as the result of a reign of terror, waged In the State of Durango and southern Chihuahua by a band of Insurrectos who have heard nothing of the peace agreement. The entire State of Durango, with Its capital, a city of 22,000 people, let at the mercy of roving bands, who have unsettled all the regularly constituted authorities The worst feature Is that all comshunlcaUon haa been cut off for weeks and the country, being a non agrlcultura region. Is without food. The mining camps of Ganaclvl, State of Durango, are In chaos. Madero's -Authority Scouted. The first act of the Insurrectos after charging a town was to place all the government officials In Jail. - Stores were then looted and government docu ments burned. Thomas Urdina. who claims to be the Insurrecto commander of the "Southern Zone." was Informed that Madero was perfecting peace plans. He answered be would dictate the peace terms for his territory, and the looting continued. In the town of Villa Escobedo. a few miles south of here, the municipal buildings were burned, all the resi dents having fled to the mountains. A. previous report that all govern ment and municipal officials In oertain towns had been killed has been con firmed. , Food Scarce, Americans Flee. Shortly after the telegraph operator at Jlmlnez, the chief city between Tor reon and Chihuahua, reported that the town was being attacked, the telegraph wires were cut. Indicating the place had been taken. There Is great ' scarcity of food In this city. It" is likely that the 300 foreigners. mostly Americans. wll leave In a body overland in wagons. The federal troops are preparing to evacuate, with a view of leaving the town to the Insurrectos. People who come in from the small towns report that the lefe pollticos have been killed, as they, were looked upon as petty despots. Altogether the situation in the In terior Is serious and will become worse unless some news of an official and definite character Is brought In that will effectually stop hostilities.
