FIRST STEP TO

ITEEL New "York, May 6. The next importtnt step in the government's suit to Ussolve the United States Steel corporation will be taken here today, ivhen Special Kxaminer Henry P. Brown of Philadelphia will begin the :aking of testimony in the United States custom house. i Even greater interest than that "nanlfested in the Standard oil cnse hearings, which were held in this same auildlng four years ago is being taken n the Steel trust case. This is due In yart to the revelations brought to light ay the Stanley Investigating committee, and the prominent part ex-Prest-!ent Roosevelt played in the absorp- i :lon of the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company by the steel trust. It is nainly on this ground the government sases its suit to dissolve the trust, and t is not unlikely that the ex-president 'ill be called upon to repeat the testi mony that he gave before the Stanley ommittee in New York last summer. An imposing array of legal talent. Headed by Lindabury, Depue and Faulks, will look after the interests of :he steel company, while the government's case will tie in charge of Special Prosecutor John M. Dickinson, former secretary of war. Other govrnment attorneys are George W, Pepper of Philadelphia and Henry E. Col:en. special assistant attorney general. While the investigation by the Staney committee had nothing to do with :he filing of the present su.tt. It is be.leved the testimony divulged before that, body has helped the government's lase considerably and many witnesses :hat appeared at the congressional lommittee hearings will be asked to five their testimony in the government's suit. Many Wltnmam li tilae. The full list of those whom the govrnment intends to subpena has not yet oeen made public, but it is likely the Inst to appear on the stand will be the following: Don Bacon, former president of the Tennessee Coal and Iron company, who testified before the Stanley committee; Julian Kennedy of Pittsburg, the mining expert, who examined the Mesaba properties before they were leased by the steel trust, and who' appraised all '.he steel tube plants Tor J. P. Morgan Sfc - Co. before they were acquired by the "American Wire and Steel Company, ind Joseph F. Cole, who testified before the Stanley committee as to the value of the Mesaba leases.

Her duties will t to keep an eye on mashers, and attend to offender among women and children. Just because Mrs. Curry will only have women and children to look after. It doesn't necessarily follow that she couldn't arrest a real man If it were necessary. Interesting stories ar told qf her physical prowess, and she recently demonstrated It when she took a hand in a domestic quarrel in her neighborhood and administered a beating to a husband who was kicking his wife around. Every morning before breakfast she dons the padded mits with her husband and they start the day with a three-round gcv

Note the parts of the Cabinet. Observe the arrangement of the ovens. This means that you can bake and broil at the same time using only one set of burners to heat both ovens.

The convenient arrangement of the ovens and top burners means a saving in time and time is money. You also save money because there is absolutely no fuel waste in a Cabinet Gas Range. You burn Gas only when you are cooking. At other times the range stands idle, costing you nothing. It will pay to stop at our showroom and see this range; or if you would prefer a representative will call on you upon request and explain the term payment plan by wheih you need not lay out the whole cost at once.

On his first trip to the Calumet region after the plant had been located he went over to Gibson and asked ta meet all of the heads .-of departments. He seemed anxious to establish friendly relations with everybody after he had come to a decision to locate at Calumt. . Vice President VauClain is not only an executive; he is a practical man as well. It is said that he has designed practically every Important type of locomotive that is now in use. It seems that the type of a locomotive Is not patentable and as a result the other locomotive companies copy his designs as soon as they get a chance.

In three or four days the Gibson office received a full set of blue prints and specifications of the kind of a locomotive needed for hump work together With the statement that It would nave 50 per cent more power than the locomotives now in use. a thing that one of the officials of the company casually mentioned was needed for that kind of work.

The land has been purchased for a very low figure and could be held Indefinitely or sold to some other concern. It could easily be sold for enough to pay a good rate of Interest on the investment. But of course this ia merely a last resort. It Is not likely to be done. However, there is no question that the building of the plan will be delayed for a year at least if the East Chicago city officials do not get busy at once. In the meantime the city of East Chicago Is not getting a very good reputation In the east for co-operating with Its Industries. Stories are already afloat there to the effect that there Is a great deal of scandal In the delay of the franchise matter.- It is common talk in Philadelphia that the whole building project is being held up by the city officials for selfish or ulterior pur poses.
