He also believes that if the spirit of this decision is carried out it will mean the dissolution of practical- ly every great trust in the country. He also believes that the effect of this wholesale dissolution would be. to bring on a financial panic. The president is probably correct in each one of his conclusions. He has been a judge for a good many years and ought to be able to make a good guess as to what the supreme court will do. He is also probably correct in concluding that a decision company will dissolve the steel trust and all the rest of the great trusts be- cause they are built on the same plap as the Standard. He is also probably correct in thinking that the effect of such a dissolution would bring ona financial panic and that a vast num- ber of innocent people would get badly hurt in that panic. This is enough to make very pa- triotic American citizen do a good deal of hard thinking.

Grand Rapids, Mich., Jan. 31.—A puzzling dual personality has devel- oped here in the case ofa man who says he is Gabriel Strang, son of, “King” Strang, the one-time ruler of Michigan. The police know the. man under the alias of George Sage, who they say, confessed to horse stealing after being dangerously wounded in a run- ning fight with officers near White Pigeon, January 1. When sentence has been passed, the authorities de- clare, a horsethief and a benefactor will have paid the penalty of this dual personality. Gabriel Strang, it appears, had liv- ed in Ligonier, Ind., since his boy- hood and was known to be honest. Gabriel Strang was honest; his friends say it was George Sage who stole horses.
