London, Jan. 29. The note drafted
by . peace delegates of the allies was
de.livired by Stojan Novakovltch, head
of the Servian delegation ' to Reohad

The determining' factor impelling

portion of whom appear to be unwil

It is considered here that in view
of the Internal complications in Tur
key, Mahmoud Shefket Pasha, the
new grand vizier may yield before the
i?nerietic act of the allies.
The gravity of the Situation at Con
stantinople Is shown by the large
naval forces concentrated by the Eu
ropean powers at the entrance to the
Dardanelles. Even, Austria-Hungary,
which In the past has refused to join
the other powers in naval coercive
measures hnit now ordered two war- '
ships to bo In readiness to start for
the east at any moment.
While the clouds are gathering
over Constantinople, the astronomer
who makes a study of the European
firmament, considers that the general
peace ot Europe is no longer In dan
ger. As a proof of this they point out
that Italy has just disbanded an army
of 100,000 soldiers who served in Tri
poli. '
Kechnd Pasha this morning ex
pressed the hope that the powers "re

STEEL DISSOLUTION
HEARING CLOSES
Defendant Corporation Will
Begin Introduction of Evi
dence in March.
By Associated Press.
New York., Jan. 29. Tlje case of
the government in Its suit to dissolve
the United States Steel Corporation
will practically close with today's
session. Attorneys for the steel cor
poration announced they hoped to
proceed with their side of the case
some time in March.
P. H. Nelson, an Iron ore expert,
who testified yesterday that the steel
corporation paid too high a price
wihen It leased the Hill ore lands, was
recalled today. He was cross exam
ined by Frederick R. Kellogg, coun
sel for the trustees of the Hill lands,
who are defendants In the suit Nel
son reiterated that the a- erage roy
alties paid for the leasing of ore in
the Lake Superior district were about
45 cents a ton compared with royal
ties of 86 cents a ton paid to the Hill
trustees by the steel corporation. This
was In 1907. The witness admitted
that in 1909 and 1910 properties con
taining 2,000,000 - tons of ore were
leased' for as high as $1.35 a ton by
independent Interests.
In the two years previous to 1907
the witness recalled several proper
ties were leased at rentals ranging
from sixty cents to $1.25 a ton but
he pointed out that either the ore
was "very desirable'' or it could be
cheaply mined.
Documentary evidence characteris
ing the Hill ore lease as "an opera
tion tn high finance" was Introduc
ed by counsel for; the government
upon Mr.. Nelson's ret-direct exam
ination. It consisted of a brief pre
sented to the Minnesota legislature
protesting against a proposed bill to
tax ore lands according to tonnage
Instead of acreage.
"Excepting the great Northern ore
lease, which was not an ore deal, but
an operation in high finance," real
the brief, "the Oliver Mining, com
pany (a steel corporation concern)
has never paid a royalty as high as
7$ cents."
Counsel for the government asked
the witness whether the steel corpor
ation Was making any special effort
to take out as much ore as possible
from the Hill properties before the
expiration of the lease In 1914.
"My impression Is that they sre
taking out every ton they can," he
replied. He added that he "suppos
ed they were taking the cream.''

Government Seeks to Hasten
the Trial of Patten and
Others.
By Associated Press.
Washington, Jan. 29. The Supreme
court today granted the request of the
department of Justice for an Immedi
ate issue of the court's mandate in the
Patten cotton corner case. The man
date is the official notification to the
federal court of southern New York
that the Supreme court has reversed
the New Yorw court's holding that
the indictment against James Patten,
Eugene G. Scales, Frank B. Hayne
and William P. Brown, for alleged
conspiracy to corner cotton, did not
state an onenae under tne snerman
anti-trust law. The effect ot the issue
of the mandate Is to put the case be
fore the lower court for trial.
In the regular course the mandate
would not have been Issued until Feb
ruary 8, but Solicitor General Bullitt
requested Us Issue,- stating that the
statute of limitation would run out
before long In the case and that It
might possibly be desired, In case the
indictment was held bad on some
uolnts not concerning the construc
tion of the Sherman anti-trust law, to
bring new Indictments.
The effect of the court's action to
day will be to put the government In
position to expedite the case against the
defendants and also R. M. Thompson,
who was Indicted on the same charge
hut did not question the construction
of the Sherman law, as soon as the
papers Issued by the court today reach
