NEW YORK. May 13.-James A. Far
rell. president of tho United States Steel
SorporatIon continued his testimony to
day in the hearing -of the government's
suit to dissolves the corporation.
He said that were It not for the policy
of the corporation "to do a general busi
ness regardless of conditions" the cot
ton crop of the United States this year
could not be marketed.
"Our competitors," he said, "have
ehown no desire to manufacture cotton
ties, so It developed upon us to supply
the demand. It Is not an attractive busi
ness, but lost year wo supplied the com
press men in the south with 1,900,000 bun
dles at 85 cents a "bundle. If we should
stop manufacture', the cotton crop this
year would Ho on the groundT'
"The. government at the time of the re
cent floods," he continued, "needed steel
piling to strengthen the levee at New
Orleans. We got a rush order for 515
tons on Thursday, and In spite of the
fact that we were very busy we deliv
ered It on Tuesday next, eighty-six hours
before' the high water arrived. We al
ways give preference- to government
work.''
PlBT Iron Coming; from India.
The cost of production of steel was
greater In America than in European
countries. Mr. Farrell testified. Ue said
the wages paid abroad were 37 per cent
to 88 per cent lower than here; freight
rates were lower and shipping facilities
for export trade were better.
Pig iron could be manufactured In
India and laid down in Calcutta at $5.88
a" ton, he added, and there was now un
dor way In a sailing vessel from that
port to San Franclaco the first cargo of
Indian pig Iron ever brought to this coun
try.
'The freight was 35.50 a ton and, under
the new duty the tariff 11 cents. Thus
the pig iron Would be laid down in Skn
Francisco at a cost of about $11.50. Chi
nese pig Iron could be laid down, In San
Francisco under the new duty for 310.78.
The present market price for pig Iron on
the Pacific coast is $21.50.
"Did you tell Mr. Underwood about
that?" asked Judge Dickinson, counsel
for the government.
"I don't think it would ake any dif
ference with him." smiled the witness.
Bella at Cost to Rivals.
The steel corporation exercises its
power to prevent corners in pig tin. Mr,
Farrell said. Ue explained that pig tin
was a highly speculative commodity and
susceptible to corners.
"We have on hand the largest stock of
pig tin In the world, and when the Don
don shippers attempt to cornor It we are
time and time again asked by our com
petitors to supply them. We always give
It to them at cost plus the rate of ex
change. Wo don't make any profit on It"
Foretirn Labor Len Efficient
WASHINGTON, May IS. In a report
prepared at the Instance of Chairman
Underwood of the house ways and means
committee, the bureau of foreign and
domestlo commerce says that a comparl
son of seventeen industries In Britain
and the United States shows that the
manufacturers in this country have
higher efficiency and two and a half
many wage earners and one-sixth more
power is needed In the United Kingdom
thai in the United States to produce a
net output of equal value.
Average wages in the seventeen indus
tries, the report adds, were only half
as high In Great Britain as here, although
the wage cost to obtain an equal value
of net output was 19 per cent higher.

Long Missing Verses
of New Testament
Are Translated
LONDON, May 13. Some Ioiik missing
verses of the New Testament are In
cluded In the manuscripts of the gospel
discovered In Egypt six years ago and
purchased by Charles 1 Freer of De
trolt Mich., according to a study made
ot the Freed manuscript by the Times.
! A facsimile of the manuscripts has been
presented to the British museum by the
University of Michigan to which Mr.
Freer assigned the task of publication
and, according to the Times, there have
been found In the gospel of St. Mark
several verses which occur In no other
known manuscript of the new testament,
although there were known to St
Jerome, who quotes part of them.
In the Freer manuscript after the pas
sage -In which It Is said that Jesus up
braided his disciples for their unbelief,
the text continues as follows:
"And they excused themselves, saying
that this age of lawlessness and 'unbelief
Is under Satan, who through the agency
ot Unclean spirits suffers not the true
power of God to be apprehended.
"For the cause they said unto Christ,
reveal now at once thiy 'ghteousness
"And Christ said unto them, the ltmtt
of the years ot the power of Satan is
(not) fulfilled but It dravcth near (tho
text here as elsewhere Is corrupt).
"For the sake ot thpse that have sinned
was I given up unto death, that they may
return unto tho trtith and sin no more,
but may Inherit the spiritual and Incor
ruptible glory of righteousness In
Heaven."
A large number of variations In other
portions of the new Testament are also
pointed out by the Times in the Freer
manuscripts.
Third Attempt to

PATERSON, N. J., May IS. A third un
successful attempt to wreck an Erie pas

Leather is Loaded
With Epsom Salts
WASHINGTON, May li-Amerlcans.
with the posslblo exception of the bare
foot boy, are today walking around on
not less than 12,600.000 pounds of glucose
and epsom salts which constitute adul
terants in sole leather. The assertion Is
made by the Department of Agriculture,
which has just concluded Investigations
of the leather Industry and has Issued a
bulletin entitled "The Composition of
Some Sole Leathers." The adulterants
add nothing to the wearing value of the
leather, says the department, and where
present In a large quantity may shorten
the life of the leather.
"Sixty-three per cent of the leathers'
examined were weighted with glucose,
with epsom salts or with both," according
to the findings of the department's ex
perts. "The quantity of loading varied
from 1 to 7.3 per cent of epsom salts,
with an average of 3 per cent. The
maximum quantity of glucose In tho
loaded leathers was 10.4 per cent and the
average 6.5 per cent, The maximum of
these loading materials found In any
leather was 1 per cent and the average
where both were present was 8 per cent.
The results obtained indicate that not less
than; 12,000,000 pounds of glucose and ep
Bora salts are sold annually to the Ameri
can people."
The "loading " Is done to Increase the
marketable weight of the leather.

BLOOMFIELD, Neb., May 13. (Special
Telegram.) Heavy damage was done
here this morning by the sudden raise
ot the Baxlle creek, which was caused
by a cloudburst northwest of here. A

The water rose so quickly many people
were caught by surprise and Bound

An unusually heavy thunder storm pre

Its climax at t o'clock, when the water

In saving some property. -
The damage in and around Bloomfield
will easily reach 3100,000. There Is no
telling now how much the damage will
amount to among cattle, horses and hogs
as many farmers had much stock In the
creek pasture and the chance for escape
was very slim on account ot strong fenc

The flood was much more damaging
than the one here thirteen years ago.
There is no record of so udden a rise
