Outside in the streets "nre men are
saying that orders to knife Penrose, If

the Mth Ward, known through South
Philadelphia as "Varo's Own," the dls- i

But a dependence on the personal fol

will be disappointing, as the situation ha.-

"TRUST" NOT GUILTY
OF COERCION, STEEL
LAWYER CONTENDS
Severance Quotes Taft and
Gary, and Asks Court to
Ignore "New Government
Economic Theories."
Urging Judges Bulllngton, Hunt. Mc
pherson nnd Woolley to cllmlnnto any
new Government theory of economics
from their decision In regard to the
charges against tho "Steel Trust." C. A.
Severance, of St. Paul, Minn., arguing
for the United Stntcs steel Corporation
today. In a forceful way touched upon
various phases of tho operation of the de
fendant company.
"Wo arc not hero to consider now
theories of economics," said Mr. Sever
ance, "we have been criticised unjustly
by the Government."
Every scat In the United States Circuit
Court of Appeals, In the Federal Building,
was occupied when the heating wns re
sumed this morning.
The St. Paul attorney cited various
United States Couit decisions In different
trust cases. Ho denied that the "Steel
Trust" or any of tho ISO subsidiary com-
pan'es were guilty of coercion.
Referring to pools, tho attorney said
that there were pools In this country
long bofoie tho Government began Its
crusade ngalnst alleged violations of the
Slurnian anti-trust laws. Ho named tho
plato pool, tho tube pool, wire pool, which
existed ln the early eighties. Prices of all
steel products were quoted In couit, each
pt.'cc was accompanied with official rec
ords. It was contended by tho lawjcr that
tho present prices of all steel products
today were considerably lower than thoso
of any other commodity.
Mr. Severance denied that prices went
up after tho "Gary dinner" movement
was Inaugurated.
Discussing the attitude observed by the
Steel Corporation toward Its competitors,
a statement made by Judgo Gary some
time ago was quoted.
GARY STATEMENT READ.
The statement Is as follows:
"We have treated out competitors as
competitors. We havo pushed our busi
ness nnd puBhed It hard. Our competi
tion has always been active nnd keen,
and wo have done business with our com
petltors In a business way; but we have
trettcd our competitors as gentlemen
ought to be treated At least that has
been our endeavor. Wo have been of
benefit to them whenever we could.
"If we have been dishonest or tricky
or mean in our treatment of our com
petitors it has not been done with the
consent or knowledge of those In control
of the affairs of the Steel Corporation,
its Board of Directors, its Finance Com
nilttee or Its officers We have tried to
be frank and open with them. We havo
admitted them to our mills. We have
given them our figures. We have frankly
stated to them our business conititinr,,, i-
.!... II ..... i --...,,o ,,,
UCItlti,
and In every way have tried to
! Klv.
give tlK'in the benefit of our miwri.n..
so that I am Justified In saying we have
foeleted competition.
"In olden days the rule In this coun
try was different in this line of busi
ness. I haie no doubt the suggestion of
Mr. Carnegie which was read In court
a few days since when I was present
deferring to the Carnegie minute, supra)
represented not only his views but the
views of his associates and the views
generally held among those who were
In charge of the Iron and steel indus
try of this country. There was a com
petition that was bitter, fierce, destruc
tive." TAFT VIEWS QUOTED.
A published article by ei-Presldent
Taft on June 2L 1911, being one of a
series discussing the anti-trust act, was
also reai to the Judges.
The former President was quoted as
follows:
"The object of the anti-trust law was
to suppress the abuses of business of
the kind described. It was not to In
terfere with a great volume of capital
which, concentrated under one organi
zation, reduced the cost of production
and made Its profits thereby and took
no advantage of its size by methods akin
to duress to s title competition with It "

RIBBON-WINNING BULLDOG
GIVES WARNING OF FIRE
Gyp Scratches on Doors When Flames
Threaten Mill Structure.
Gyp, a bulldog, probably prevented the
destruction by fire ot the Providence
Mills nt 53th street and Glrard avenue
early this morning when ho "discovered"
a burning wooden tank adjacent to the
mill buildings. Tho canlno aroused
neighbors by barking and scratching nt
doors. Firemen reached tho place In
time to extinguish the blazo with small
loss.
The police say the fire was started by
hoys who built bonfires beneath nn old,
unused wooden tank. Their fire smol
dered for several hours and shortly nfter
midnight ignited tho tank. Gyp was
asleep In tho rear yard of his owner's
homo across tho street. His keen ears
caught tho crackling of tho flames and
he went over tho low fenco and around
the corner to investigate.
Gyp wasted no time when he saw the
tank ablaze. When his barks failed to
arouso his master he scratched and
threw his weight against tho side door
nnd at length he wns successful, Gyp
has won four blue ribbons nt dog shows,
two in Lancaster County and two at

POLICE CENSOR SATISFIED
Finds Nothing Objectionable in Show
Whose Bills Excited Suspicion.
Information received concerning a show
at the Trocadero Theatre, which was
said to need police censoring, led Lieu
tenant Smiley, of the Uth nnd Winter
streets police stntlon to visit the play
house last night.
Ho recid signs on the bill board before
tho ticket window. One In big letters
announced "Cleopatra " Tho police critic
remembered Cleopatra was a lady who
once upon n time lost a kingdom. Another
sign rend, "a taste of Forbidden Fruit."
Lieutenant Smiley hurried into the thea
tre. When he came out he said that the
advertising had misled him to some ex
tent. Ho could find nothing objection
able. Cleopatra was not the lady he
thought she was. He told the manage
ment, however, to be careful whnt they
placed on the stage when he was not
around.
Lleutennnt Smiley Is the police censor
who made the chorus of "The Passing
Show," at the Lyrle last week, put on a
few more articles of wearing apparel.
