ANNAPOLIS, Md.. June i Expressing
the belief that any future war in which
the United States may engage will largely.
if not entirely be decided by a battle, or
battles on the sea. Ass lm ant Secretary of
the Navy Wlnthrop in an address today
to the graduates of. the Naval academy
said be was strongly Impressed with the
necessity of maintaining a navy sufficient
in power to diminish to a minimum uny
danger of losing control of the sea.
"Graduatlng at 22 you will have about
forty years of active service before you,
and although w-e are all most desirous
thnt war shall not check the peaceful prog
ress of the nation, we must recognize that
this country since its inception has never
enjoyed forty years of peace uninterrupted
by war.
"The average period between wars of this
country has been only a few months over
twenty-nine years, so U anything like this
ratio Is preserved in the future, you vlll
probably see active service. Understand rue,
that I am most desirous of continued pence
and sincerely trust that the desire for arbi
tration treaties and an International tribu
nal with adequate power to enforce Its
ordained decree will bear fruit, but
believes that international peace has ar
rived and that no more wars will occur,
enjoys aa optlmistlsm greater than I can
acquire.
"The control of the sea will in my opinion
be the crucial turning point of any war
in which w may be engaged and tt is
therefore avtdent how Incumbent it will te
on you ao to maintain the material and
personnel allowed us by congress that it
may always be at the highest point of ef
ficiency." Four Persons Killed

ary restraining order, seeking to oust the
Kansas City Fruit and Produce exchange
and to dissolve it as an alleged food trust,
may be requested of Judge A. F. Evans,
special commissioner, taking testimony at
a hearing here, announced Henry Jost, as
sisting prosecuting attorney, today.
This declaration came as the result of
the testimony of S. J. Hurst, a member
of the exchange, after he had admitted
on the stand that eggs are stored to keep
up prices. Merchants m-ere not in business
for their health, he said.
"If the merchants d:d not store eggs,
the price would be very low while the big
early spring and summer supply was com
ing to the market," he explained.
"How about the consumer, who has to
pay the bills?"
"We are not in business for our health."
Mr. Hurst frankly admitted, "we try to
sell our products for Just as much as we
can get for them."

CAUSTIC COMMENT BY BRYAN
Says Matter of Putting Tariff on Wool
Was Fought Out on False Basis.
SIMPLY ADDS IwbULI TO EJJTJSY
Statement that Uaty la Levied for
Revenne He Insists la False
Advlaea Party to Be Honest
ia the Mntter.
PT. PAUL. June When shown the
Associated Press report of the action of
the democratic caucus on the wool sched
ule.. William Jennings Bryan early, this
morning gave out the following statement:
"The democrats In congress are responsi
ble to the country and to their constit
uents and it remains to be seen whether
their action will he endorsed. Tho brief
rerort which I have seen shows that tho
matter was fought upon a false basis and
t shall be mistaken if the public Is de
ceived by the pretense that It was levted
for revenue. The amount raised by a tax
upon wool could be raised by a tax on raw
silk or raw rubber with much mere justice.
I mention these two ways of making up
the amount there are many other ways.
The tax on wool would never be thought
of but for the protective benefit It Is sap
posed to bring , to wool growers. I think
the party would have done better If It
had honestly stated Its reason and de
clared Itself" in favor of protection to that
extent.
"However, In expressing my opinion, I
am only speaking for myself, and the cau
cus may find the public more gullible than
1 think It The declaration that this Is not
a surrender of the free wool doctrine is
adding Insult to Injury and I am sur
prised that any advocates of free wool ac
cepted It as a reason for endorsing the
committee bill."
Will Introduce BUI Today.
WASHINGTON, June 1-Democratie
members of the house, having finished
their party struggle over the wool tariff
and agreed almost unanimously to support
the Underwood bill, placing a duty of 2D
per cent ad valorem on raw wool, pre
pared today to meet the attacks on the
proposed revision of the schedule that are
to come from the republican minority.
The democratic plan was to introduce
the wool bill today and refer It to the
ways and means committee, by which it
would be reported favorably next week.
Representative Underwood, who with
Speaker Champ Clark, led the fight for a
revenue tariff on wool from the beginning
of the special session, said:
"The adoption of the bill and the unani
mity with which It was received by the
democrats, many of whom did not favor
It as a policy, but who were eventually
brought to see its revenue necessity, dem
onstrated against the earnestness and wis
dom of the democratic house. As for Mr.
Roan's attack on the bill, I can only say
that he has received his answer from demo
crats who never bolted a caucus."
The senate was not In session today.

INTERNATIONAL STEEL COMBINE
!iervliloa of 111 ( ersortllssi, He
Tnlnka, Whonld F.atrnd to the
Fixing of Prleea by Respon
sible Federal Aothorlty.
WASHINGTON. June 1. Filbert H. Gary.
chi-f executive officer of the United States
flecl corporation res.imin his testimony
before the house "stl trust" investigating
committee toda dno..:: il the Sherman
int'.-trust lan as arrl.r i- o id declared thnt
governmental control c : i . .orations event
ually would come.
Mr. Gury assert, d th.-.t the steel corpora
tion would welcome such t:.anife and wou'd
be glad If the government would go so far
as to dictate the prices of steel products.
In explanation of the reiKTted world wide
"trust'' Mr. Gary said that a conference
would be held in Brussels July S and 6,
rest, to organise nn International steel In
stitute similar to the American Iron and
Steel Institute. The latter, he asserted, was
formed to prevent demoralisation In trkde
and to permit an exchange of ideas for the
betterment of" the steel industry.
In no instance, Mr. Gary said, had there
been any attempt at an unlawful combina
tion or an expressed or implied agreement.
Mr. Gary said he would do all he could,
morally and lexally to further the proposed
International institute.
Increaed prices are to be charged for steel
rails in the near future, according to Mr.
Gary. Higher cost of labor and raw ma
terial, together with a demand for heavier
rails waa given as the reason for the pro
posed advance.
Mr. Gary yesterday was about to ex
plain "all that I hope to do and Just what
plans are" when the committee chairman.
Just before adjournment Interrupted him
with his statement relating to the reports
of a projected International trust and of
the charge that Mr. Gary's "able and ef
ficient management" was responsible there
for, Mr. Gary briefly denied it and averred
that be would answer the allegations mors
fully today.
For Enforced Pnbllclty.
Soon after the committee met today Mr.
Gary declared that enforced publicity and
government control of corporations must
come, even as to prices. He said he be
lieved the 6herman anti-trust law was too
archaic to deal with modern situations and
never could fully prevent great combina
tions of capital. When the United States
Steal corporation wanted, he said, waa f"
souie responsible and official department
of government to whom It could go and
say "what prices can we charge and Just
what can we do?"
'Personally, I believe the Sherman act,"
said Mr. Gary, "does not now and never
will fully prevent the organising of (Treat
combinations of capital. I believe we must
come to enforced publicity and govern
mental control of corporations.
"Do you mean government control even
aa to prices?'' Mr: Stanley asked.
'Yes. even as to prices. So far as I am
concerned, speaking for the United States
Steel corporation, I would be very glad If
wa could know exactly where we stand
and could be free from the dangers and
criticism of the public I wish we could
go to some responsible governmental source
and says, "Here are our facts, here la our
business, here Is our property and our
cost of production, and could be told Just
what prices we could charge and Just what
we could do."
Mr. Gary said the real problem was not
the making of big profits, but It was rather
the establishment of a definite understand
ing of the legal situation.
"Do I understand that you believe In
strict governmental supervision of cor
porations?" aked Representative Littleton
of New Tork.
Baennaa Law Is Archaic.
"Yes. I do." said Mr. Gary. "I know
that Is a radical position, but something
must be done."
"Is it your conviction." Mr. Littleton in
quired "that the Sherman anti-trust law
is archaic and uniie to deal, with the
modern situation?"
"Yea."
"Do not the interpretations of that law

competitive s stem as opposed to co-operative
modem methods?"

in which we don't know Just what wa
