Borah Protests Splitting, The half victory for Colonel Roose- ¥elt came at the end of a day in which all of the other marh discussed con- tests from Kentucky had been decided in President Taft’s favor.

New York, June 11-—As a regular at- tendant at the “8ary dinners,” which have had so much prominence in the alleged domination of the steel indus- try, William P. Worth was questioned by the government today in its suit to dissolve the United States Steel Cor- poration, regarding the nature of the “dinners.” The witness is president of Worth Brothers, independent man- ufacturers of steel and iron, of Coates- ville, Pa. He added a new word to the vocabulary of the steel industry when he described the result of the opinions expressed at the Gary din- ners as a “guide.” The government brought out his admission that the “guide” appeared to be personified in B. H. Gary, head’of the steel corpora- tion. At a Gary dinner in February, 1909, the witness said that Judge Gary thought that it might be better to re- duce prices. “Judge Gary said he did not want his hands tied. After that there was no guide,” said Worth. “And after that meeting you cut loose from the ‘guide? ” “Yes,” answered the witness, Counsel for the Steel corporation brought out from Mr. Worth that Judge Gary never attempted to lay down a rule for the rest of the man- ufacturers. The witness said Judge Gary always gave the other men ad- vice, counselling publicity. The din- ners continued for a little over two years and came to an end, the witness said, after some one got information that the affairs ought to cease, Worth said he didn’'t know just what the reason was. “Was Judge Gary’s policy always fol- lowed?” asked Jacob M. Dickinson for the government. “He never said anything about prices” declared the witness. “He would sometime hat it was time Chicago, June 11—Roosevelt leaders | to make a conc fonight announced detalls of a mass S LR mneeting for Friday afternoon which Avill be staged at Chicago's largest LOCOMOTIVE WHEEL theater as a spectacular preliminary to the opening of the republican national convention next Tuesday.

Boston, June 11.—The installation of an all night service for the first time since the inauguration of the street car men's strike for increased pay and union- recognition was an- nounced for tonight by the Boston elevated railway. The day schedule was sald by company officials to be practically normal and this was fol- lowed tonight by the running of cars on regular time up to midnight.

Frequenters of the law courts doubt- less have noticed that many of his majesty’s judges in Ingland are diffi- cult to please in the matter of the | temperature of their courts.
