sua deals by which ha old out halt a
doaen steel properties to the Reld-Moore
syndicate. John W. Gates and tha steel
corporation Itself, each' tiro striking a
profitable bargain.
Mr. Stevenson waa called by the gov

blnatlona of the "steel trust." in which
all of Stevenson's properties ar pow eon- I

mill In this country, he said. It waa
capitalised at tUa-Wu, Ten year . Uter,
after selling out this and four other steel
plant which he eubaequently built, he
started tha Sharon Steel company.
merged It with tha Union Steel company,
and then sold out to th steel corpora
tion, taking for th Sharon Intercuts $11.-
000.000 in: tba corporation bond, hs
said.
. He had built the Sharon steel plant,
be remarked, "I shake the apple tree
again."
"You did not get shares for your In
tereetr asked H. E. Col ton, attorney for
the government.
"No sir, bonds," said 8tevenson.
That aeems to be a Scotch habit,"
commented R- V. Llndabury. attorney for
tha steel corporation, apparently refer
ring to tha fact that Andrew Carnegie
bad taken bonds when ha sold th Car
negie Steel company to the corporation.
"No, sir," retorted tha witness. "That
a as wisdom. I'd been getting too much
common stocU in other deala and ther
waa too much gambling about that."
Stevenson told how ha sold hi h
nango Valley steel plant
"Let sea," ha aaid. "there' was tOTJO.OOt

"If wa had all demanded money from
that crowd ' In those daya I hav my
doubt If could hav got It It waa the
understanding that I could take HJ7.000
oash Instead, but tha understanding waa
not much more than a hops."
"Waa competition keen In those days?"
"it got worse and worse th longer t
waa In tha buslne."
It ss because of their being to many
ire mills in tha business, th witness
aid, that ha (urranderad hi New Castle
wire nd nail plant to John W. Gate,
wbo had organised th Conaolldated
Steel and Wlr company. In IKS there
were forty-six planta and competition
In two or three years had driven all but
eleven out of I he business, h declared.
He ld then had been a meeting of
wire nail manutarturara In Cleveland
where It waa agreed to tlx price at fi.W
keg.
"When the meeting waa adjourned for
lunch, Frank Baacke want down and
sold by. wlr hO00 keg at II. to." aaid
Stevenson. "I was going down for th
same purpoaa and th telegraph operator
handed m Base Its' telegram by mistake.
I stuffed It in my pocket and took It

'What hall we do with ulmr I aaid.
" 'Kick him down staira' said the chal-r
man.
" 'I can't,' said I, "he's a bigger man
than I am. "
"Thl wa Frank Baarka, now. vie

"Te, and a very decent fellow."
Mr. Llndabury brought out from th
witnees a statement that demoralised

during the lata '0a had directly 14 to
th consolidation of numerous planta
