My promise to the army officer not to question his - statement kept me from yerbal query, but I felt and meant Dicky to feelthat any ' knowledge he personally possess ' ed was mine by, light. - . r ill understood' my. meaning plainly. ;.

Grantland is exaggerating the ...menace he's , so exercised about. . But I'm, not in the posi tion, to question his judgment. It would ' look as if I oh. curse it all!"

"If.you.wlll escort me back to the house I will relieve you from the embarrassment of my presence." 1 Ills lace changed "curiously. He looked startled, apprehensive and swua? toward me abruptly.

To my amazement an' expres sion of distinct relief swept over his 'face.'

Oh, forget that 1" he said in embarrassment. "Of course, 111 go with' you whenever you wish And, believe me, it won't be very long that you'll be coopecT up ; "1 sincerely trust I not,", 1 dryly replied.

If I get to Bleep I don't want to have some one knock and wake me. . "IH be a regular watch-dog at the portal," he promised; and it was upon that promise I relied when I finally reached my room : and locked the dcor behind me. r, I had had but one thought, rone purpose, ever since ; Dicky's confirmation of MaJ.

Tho federal trade commission today issued a formal complaint charg ing that the proposed merger of the Midrale, Republic and Inland Steel companies was in violation of the law in that it constituted an - "unfair method of competi tion." The commission's decision was exactly the reverse of that reached by the departments of jiwtlca which recently informed congress that the propo.ed combination was not in contravention of either the Webb. Clayton or the Sher man ant'-trn8t laws, but was in line with previous action of the commission In issuing a complaint against the Bethlehem-Lackawan-na merger which merger, too, was declared by the attorney general to be as free of "unfair trade practices" as the proposed Mld- vale-Republic-Inland combination. Thirty Days to Answer In its complaint the commission named as respondents the Mid vale Steel & Ordnance company rf Philadelphia, the Republic Iron Steel company of New York city, and the Inland Steel com pany, of Chicago, and allowed 30 days in which to file answers upon which, it I was alleged will be de termined the issues "to be tried out in formal manner." Thd complaint declared thai the commission had reason to believe after preliminary investicition tliat the proposed merger or con solidation of the three competing steel companies "which will cen ter the control of some 35 cor porations in one group, will elim inate, competition between the companies, lessen competition arfd restrain trade and tend to create monopoly, on iron and steel pro ducts in interstate commerce." This condition, it was averred, would be felt particularly in Penn sylvania, Ohio, West Virginia. Kentucky, Indiana, Michigan and Illinois. Van Fleet Dissents Commissioner Van Fleet, who diaented; from the majority de cision, reserved the right to file memorandum setting forth his reasons. Chairman Gaskill, in a formal statement accompanying the com plaint, explained his vote by an alyzing1 the various anti-trust laws and setting forth In detail the scope of the authority vested in the federal . trade act. The case at Issue, he said, "like that of the complaint against the Bethlehem Lackawanna combination is ' of paramount Importance to the par ties involved and to the public." , Companies Enumerated. Of the many separate corpora Uons which would be brought un der one control .by the Midvale- Republic-Inland merger, the com plaint recited the names and lo cations of 21 companies controlled by the Midvale company, eight controlled by the .Republic com pany and six controlled by the In land; company. Each of the three merging companies, the complaint averred, was in itself an integ rated company, owning or con trolling subsidiaries. The commission held that the products of each of the merging companies and their several sub sidiaries were in direct competi tion in Interstate commerce and also were in direct competition with the: products of other cor porations not affected by. the mer ger but engaged in similar lines of Industry. ' Much -Stock Represented. The Inland Steel company Is a Delaware; corporation with out standing stock of over $25,000,- 000 par value; the Republic Iron & Steel company, a New Jersey corporation, with outstanding common stock of $30,000,000 par Value, and $25,000,000 par value of preferred stock and the Midvale Steel & Ordnance corporation, a Delaware corporation having out standing- stock Of $100,000,000. Applicants Eager for i v. .. . Capitol Street Lots Men came in Thursday by phone. cn foot, in cars, rnnnlng upstairs and riding up the elevator to be in time for the first chance at the new North Capitol street im provement lots that the promoters hoped would, be ready to put on the' market. They still have to wait, a bit, for the abstract wasn't t.ni8he1d. Thursday morning, as expected,: and the street openers couldn't get a legal opinion on the, absolute validity of tho second Seed. And until the deed is ap proved there will be no final sur vey or re-deed. Men would have been building booses there today if they could bare bought their lots yesterday, but Fred Erixon, chairman of the fetreet opening corporation, ex pects every applicant to stay in line until the survey is made and the deeds can be parceled out. ome, far-seeing buyers want sev eral lotsj, They never before had a chance to buy city property cut Up into. Iota. at jwreagaprjees, - rmach as a postage stamp" out of this deal,?,sa.id Chairman Erlxon last night. a3 he looked over some of the applications for lots; that Is, out of the corporation. If anybody buys lots and makes a mint out of them, that is his bas iaieae. Bat honestly, I expect to seH every lot within a dayafter they're opened for settlement." ' On Second Thought, Man Has Perfectly Good Lamp Two of the Salem police offic ers found a man -driving a car home without tail lights Wednes day night, and as it was only a little way back to the business section and a long way out to ,the city limits, they requested him to go back to town and get a -valid lamp. He turned his car and started, and they followed. He drove a block then stqpped, and they could hear him fumbling about in the car. They hitched up their belts and prepared for action, for he was a square-Jawed pprson who would probably enjoy a quarrel. Maybe they'd have to haul him down town or carry him on a shutter. "Easy fellers," he called out. as they drew within range. "I got a bright idea. What's the use of goin' back down town when I got a perfectly good lamp right here on my own car? Look-ut." He unscrewed the dash lamp, the one-candle lamp that lights the levers and the switches and the works in general, set. it In the tail light socket and there he was, with infinitesimal but pterfectly red, danger tail light that the cops couldn't , deny. "Ta-tal" he said, as be .turned the flivver around afrd for the second time set sail for home. - HOUSEWIVES ARE Service Commission Tells Them Lower Fares Will Be Considered Soon The Housewives council of the city ofi Tortland is advised by the public service commission to make thorough preparation" in the assembling of facts and figures for the hearing to come in the near future' on the question of whether street car fares in Port land, now standing at' 8 ' cents, shall be reduced. A petition asking that the fares be reduced was filed with, the commission by the Housewives' council' several months ago. In a letter to Mrs. Josephine M. Othus, president of the council,' the . commission explains that progress b being made as rip Idly as possible with the case: "Any action taken by this com mission," says the letter, "must be taken only after a proper hear ing and a full Investigation of the commission should precede snch a hearing. "You may rest assured that in the coming hearing the utility will be represented by well trained lawyer!. ' and engineers, all of whom hatve their side of the case welt in hand, and that they. will marshal .all facts and figures which will. be to their advantage and will present testimony in sup port thereof in due form. "It is to be presumed that your council is also preparing to ade quately represent their conten tions in the matter, and to sup port such contentions with proper and suitable testimony, a con siderable portion of which may be of a highly technical nature, both from an v accounting and an engineering standpoint, and that the interests of the people should be, in all cases, protected to the full extent that the commission is able. "It Is therefore necessary for the commission to be conversant with all facts, all past findings of this body, and all law that might affect a decision in case an order is entered after a hearing.

Art Ian leferivl Two hours of debate, however, showed the Impossibility of ac tion on the measure today and it went over for further considera tion tomorrow. The big figlit in tha house to day was in the section of the con trol and deliberation- measure, which gave the president the right, after issuance of a presiden tial proclamation, declaring the present eme-gancy no longer in existence, to proclaim the exis tence of another such emergen cy without ask'n-s leave of con gress.

Borah lil'I Favored Senator FrelUighuysen said he beHeved the Borah bill should pass, because of a conviction that AnHtinTia ' similar lf tho nOW before the country would have to be faced next sprint. He argued, ho vever. that the fact finding commission should be made a permanent govern ment tribunal and not be limited to one investigation. f Right of Way Obtained By Wenatchee Southern YAKIMA, Wash., Aug. 31.

Christmas Is land, a little patch of land in the Indian ocean which is distin guished chiefly by its pretty name, will be ' busy place for a few minutes, next September 20 and from this activity may come many startling announcements of a sci entific nature. Astronomers have ( calculated that Christmas Island will bo one of the few spots on this earth over which the sun will be totally eclipsed Sept. 20, for a full six minutes by the clock. Science, which computes its time by such vast periods as "light years'" is preparing, however, to make quite a fuss over this insignificant six minutes. A German scientific expedition, headed by Dr. Erwin Freundlish Finley of Potsdam university, is now on the way to Christmas Is land with a large number of deli cate instruments by which it hopes to make a thorough test of the Einstein Theory of Relativity. If Jupiter Fluvlus does not with hold his rain, however, their long Journey will have been in vain. Accompanying Dr. Freundlich- Finley are Dr. Joseph Hopmanu of Bonn university; Professor Aug ust Kopff of Heidelberg and Dr. F. Voute of the universinty of Ba- tavia. The expedition has been arranged by the International As tronomical Society, supported by Dutch and German capitalists. The equipment to be used in the tests consists of two of the most modern photographic telescopes, one of which is 3.60 meters long and the other 8.50 meters. Eight or ten. photographs will be taken during the brief six minutes. The test of the Einstein Theory of light curvature decided upon by this expedition is possible only when the sun is completely eclip sed. Thus its practicability is sharply defined. President Ebert of Germany is facing a bad end, which is due to occur within the present year, ac cording to his horoscope, which has just been announced by an astrologer whose name Ebertine is strikingly like that of the nation's chief executive. This same prophet, claims to have read a message from the stars last June foretelling the murder of Foreign Minister Rathenau. Ebertine, in making the horo scope public, says that It bears a remarkable similarity to the as trological conditions that prevail ed over the former German em pire at the exact hour when Wil Ham I was proclaimed emperor of Germany at 12:15 o'clock on the afternoon of January 18, 1871. -The astrologer warns the pres Ident that he should be exception ally cautious during the coming months In all his undertakings and desires. u REHEARING OF CASE ASKED Famous Coronado Coal Lit igation May Again Get In to Supreme Court WASHINGTON. Aug. 31 Pe tition for rehearing of the fam ous Coronado coal rase, ia which the United States supreme court recently laid, lown a far reaching construction of Mm ueability of organized labor, although not in corporated, was tHed today with the court by John W. Davis, as counsel for the coal companies in volved. No action will be-taken on the petition untij the court recon venes in October. Damage -Award St-f Aside The original proceeding was ! civil suit tnstitntryHjy- the Coro nado and other roil" companies against the Vnlti Mine Workers of America, district 21 and local unions -of that organiiatlonand individual member? for .treble damages caused by der-fuction of property durinc; the strike of 1916. The suurenie court In a decision rendrel June t. 192 sustained contention of the coal companies that lh mine work ers union and oht-r unincorpor ated labor organizations were J?ue aible but set aside the award ef damages made b the lower fed eral courts. i "Essential mistake i and mis conceptions ol fa;V by the su nreme court wera stated as grounds for a rehearing, the pe tition asserting thit "when the principles of law announced by the courts are applied to the. fact actually appearing in the record. the Judgment against district 21. as rendered by tb.3 lower courts must be affirmei, and probably also the iudemeal against the United Mine Workers of America: Participation Not Proved. The supreme court, set aside the award of damages on the ground that the national union of the United Mine Workers had not been shown to have advised or participated in the 6trike and be cause the evidence did not warrant the jury in finding that the off! cials of district 21 were actuated by an intent to restrain or mo- nooplize interstate commerce. The Jury which heard the evi dence, the petition for rehearing pointed but, tendered : verdict against the United Mine Workers and the other, defendants and the Judge which heard the evidence and saw the witnesses stated that the evidence : established "over whelmingly" that "district 21 had been actuated primarily and sole ly" by an intent to restrain Inter state commerce. The announce ment by the supreme court that its examination of this "pivotal" feature of the case, the petition continued, developed no evidence which satisfied it that the object of the destruction of 'Property was to restrain Interstate . com merce, showed a "marked divers ity of opinion," which could only ariser "if on one side or the other there was a failure completely to grasp all the essential facts." Evidence Voluminous Voluminous evidence is con tained in the record of the case, the petition declared, "showing that over a long series of years as a result of practical experience with the menace of open bop competition, there had been flrm lr implanted through the organi zation (United Mine Workers) in cluding all the officers and mem bers of district 21, the basic Idea that, by whatever means, the ship ment of open shop coal' should be prevented and it pointed out as significant "that each of the occasions when the property was attacked , coincided with act ual preparation by the companies for the immediate shipment- of coal."
