Mr. Dickinson made no -reference to former President Roosevelt, but. in the brief filed by the government it was set out that the representatives of the steel corporation who went to ‘Washington to consult with Mr. Roose- velt over the propriety of purchasing the Tennessee stock from the New oYrk brokers, had deceived the pres- ident as to the amount of stock held by the New York firm. In the course of his argument Mr. Dickinson read letters and monutes of corporation meetings. Carnegie Letter Causes .Smile.

To want riore than that seems wick- Advice Carnegie Gave. At another time, when competition was Dbrisk before the day of the steel corporation and there was a scramble among manufacturers for business, Mr, Carnegie wrote to his partners: “If I were czar, I would make no dividends upon common. stock, save all surplus and spent it for -a hoop and cotton tie mill, for wire and nail mills, for tube mills, for lines of boats upon the lakes for our manufactured articles and bring back scrap.” ENGLAND TO CELEBRATE TRAFALGAR DAY Hundreds of Wreaths and Bouquets Bank Admiral Nelson's Monument.
