Trees are budding, shrubs are flowering and the grass has taken on the bright emerald color that tell of an eariy spring. ‘Those fortunate enough to get to the race track felt that it was good to even be in the.open, But to admire the eanty of nature and to feel thankful that there 1s such a thing as fregb alr ‘+ and sunshine Is not what people go to the races for. ‘This afternoon's card was the best of the meeting.. and this, coupled with a good track and fine weather, enabled the crowd to enjoy a most pleasant after- noon. . ‘The attendance was up to the aver- age.

WAS ASSESSED AT $500,000. Directorate of the Great ‘Steel Corporation Split Into Fac- tions and Mr. Schwab Has to Fight to Keep Control. Charles M. Schwab, president of the Umitted States Steel Corporation, ap- peared at the Tax Department office this afternoon and swore off an assessment of $500,000-on his personal property in this city on the ground thet he is not a resident. Mr. Schwab declared, in spite of the fact that he ts building a $2,000,000 resi- dence on Riverside Drive, between Sev- enty-third and Seventy-fourth streets, which he expects to ocoupy in a few montis, that he is not a resident of New York, and ts therefore not assess- able on one dotlar’s worth of personal property. Owing to the secrecy with which the ‘Tax Department officials preserve facts which should be public property, {t could not be learned what clty or State Mr. Schwab declared himself to be a resi- dent. It is understood, however, that the steel magnate asserts that he never abandoned’ Pittsburg, Pa., as his resi- dence when he moved from there to New York to take change of the Steel Trust. When Mr. Schwab takes possession of ‘his new residence ‘he will then, he says, declare himeelf to be a resident of this city, but not before. Trouble in the Trust. Dissensions have sprung up among “inaiders'of the big Steel Trust. C. M. Bchwab, the President of the Trust, discovered on his return from Europe that’@ movement was under way to depose him. The directorate of the Steel Trust 1s split Into’ factions, One of these has centred its energies in Judge E. H. Gary, chairman of the Executive Com- mittee. Another faction inclines to James Gayley, First Vice-President. Mr. antagonistic to Mr. Schwab, but can. more properly be de- scribed as Mr. Schwab's heir. Should It develop that Schwab is a loser his strength will more than likely descend to Gayley. The third faction has named Henry C, Frick as its representative. Mr. Frick is not an active candidate for the presidency of the Steel Trust, and has discouraged attempts by his friends to put him in that attitude. But is ts well known ‘in steel and {ron circles that he is in reality the most formidable op- ponent of the Schwab regime, eieeepen STEEL TRUST CHECKS STOCKHOLDERS’ SUITS. TRENTON, N. J., March 2%.—The United States Steel Corporation to-day filed in the office of the Secretary of State articles amending the charter of the National Steel Company, which were filed yesterday for the purpose of merg- ing the Carnegie Company, the National Steel Company and the American Stoel Hoop Company. The amended articles change the name from the. Netlonal Steel Company, as filed yesterday, to the Carnegie Steel Company. The papers are the same as those filed yesterday with a single im- portant exception. In connection with the provision that there shall be main- tained in this Btate a registered agency at which shall be kept a list of the stock- holders of the concern for inspection of the stockholders, there is an added pro- vision as follows: “But ¢ registered agent may refuse per- mission to examine the same (except as to the entries affecting th res owned by such stockholder) unless satisfied that such examination and the information to be acquired thereby, is desired for legiti- mate purposes and not for a purpose hos- tile to the interests of the corporation or {ts Individual stockholders and the de- termination of the registered agent shall be fina! and conclusty. This provieton i# also interesting in connection with A@sembly bill 270, which Passed the House this week, That bill provides that no mult can be brought by minority stockholders tn the name of @ corporation without the written con- sent of 2% per cent. of the stockholders. Under the provision of the amended charter filed to-day by the Carnegie ®teel Company it is very difficult for any stockholder to ascertain the names of the stockholders of 20 per cent. of the stock of the company, unless the man- agers are willing. te Ques Ego Finished Fourth, PARIS, March ¥1,—W, K.

Reese was seriously wounded. The scouts lost three men killed and had eleven men wounded. The enemy occupied an intrenched position midway between Mariquina, San Francisco and Del Monte, and had erected a stone fort, which was gar- risoned by two hundred men. The First and Fourth Companies of Macabebes, commanded by Lieuts. Reese and Nick- erson respectively, attacked the enemy's position, The two officers led a gallant and suc- cessful charge, during which Lieut.

Gates, who Is supposed to look on & million dollars with scorn, was the star to-day in the Interstate Commerce Commission hearing about the famous Loulsville and Nashville deal. It is said, and no man hes denied it, that Gates cleaned up $15,000,000 in this transaction, and it was testified to by his son Charley to-day that the negotiations at which the transfer of the system was arranged occupied only one hour. Fifteen’ millions for an hour should make even John W. Gates chesty, and he certainly showed a bit of self-consciousness to-day when he took the stand. All the Interstate Commerce Commissioners—Knapp, Clements, Yeo- ‘mans, Prunty and Fifer—were in their seats, There was quite a collection of financiers, Wall street celebrities, lawyers and curiosity seekers and all studied Gates very closely. The Kentucky Railroad Commission was rep- resented by State Attorney-General C. J. Pratt and Bennett H. Young. Among the others-present were Rudolph Keppler, president of the Stock Ex- change; Francis Lynde Stetson, counsel for J. P. Morgan & Co.; John F. Harris, of Harris, Gates & Co.; Edwin Hawley, J.'M.

NEW WITNESS WILL BE STAR AT INQUEST NEXT MONDAY, — Two Letters Said to Have Been Written by Mrs. Pennell on Day of Her Death to New Haven Woman Will Be Offered to Show _ She Did Not Plan Suicide. That Arthur Pennell intended to kill Edward Burdick of Buffalo threatened to put him out of the way is vouched for by Alexander Quinn, of No. 251 West Thirty-ninth street, this city, who was a bartender” in the Hotel Roland in Fifty-ninth street last December while ro Mrs. Burdick were there together. Quinn has been ordered to \ juinn went to work in the Hotel Roland last October and ant as a bartender until Jan.-. In December Mrs. Burdick was @ | at the house. Pennell did not stop there regularly, but he called om Burdick every day. He spent some of his time in the bar, Quinn, and drank as a man would drink who was laboring under an in- tense mental strain. One day, Quinn says, Pennell was in the bar drinking. He: became. confidential with the bartender and made the following remark: ? “There is one man in this world I am going to kill if 1 have es After this, according to Quinn, Pennell went into details the trouble into which he had been plunged by his relations | Burdick.
