finished tile party struggle over the
wool tariff and agreed almost unan
imously to support the Underwood
hill placing a duty of twenty percent
ad valorem on raw wool, prepared to
day to meet, .the "'Attack,' upon the
proposed revision of schedules ex
pected from the republican minority.
The democratic plan was to Introduce
the wool bill and refer it to the ways
' and means committee, by which it
will be favorably reported next week.
The leaders of the democrats were
jubilant over the result of the cau
cus last night. They were pleased
tiecause the differences threatened by
the Interposition of William Jen
nings Bryan in advocacy ol free wool
had been adjusted and the party ap
parently had cemented in its sup
port of the revenue measure. They
construed the action of. the caucus as
ji rebuke to Bryan, Speaking of the
democratic caucuB action, Majority
.Leader Underwood said;
'The adoption of the bill and the
unanimity with which it was received
by the democrats demonstrated
again the earnestness and wisdom of
the democratic house, As tor Bryan's
attack upon the bill, I can only say
he has received his answer from
democrats who never bolted a can-.

STEEL TRUST OFFICERS
BEFORE COMMITTEE
(Bv Associated Press.)
Washington, JIune 2 Flbert H.
Gurv, chief executive officer of tlie
United States Steel Corporation, took
the wltnes stand again when the
Stanley Steel Investigating committee
resumed hearings. Norman B. Ream,
Perclval Roberts, James C5ayley and
W. B. Dickson, directors of the steel
corporation, followed Gary before the
committee.
Soon . after the committee met
Gary declared that enforced public
ity and governmental control of cor
porations must come even as to
prices. He said he believed the
Sherman anti-trust law was too
archaic to deal with the modern sit
uation and never could fully prevent
great combinations of capital. What
the United States Steel Corporation
wanted, he said, was some responsi
ble and official department of the
government to which It could go and
say, "What prices can we charge,
and just what can we do?" '
In no instance, Gary said, had
there been attempt at unlawful com
bination, expressed or implied, to
further the : proposed International
Institute. Increased prices will be
charged for steel rails in the near
future, according to Gary. Higher
cost of labor and raw material, to
gether with demand for heavier rails
was given as the reason for the pro
posed advance.

NEW AUDITORIUM IS
PLEASING TO ALL
State Siip'criniendent of Public In
st ruction .hivner was present, at the
great meeting, in the .auditorium yes
terday iilicnmim and took occasion
to say to (lie olticers of the chamber
of commerce that he is profoundly
Impressed bv the admirable construc
tion ol the -ureal building. He says
he has sivu nothing in the south to
compare with it and considers it
much superior to the auditorium at
Atlanta, ile says that great skill
has-been shown in the arrangement
of the states so that, large as is the
building, all parts of it are easily
commanded r from the stage. The
acoustic properties are perfect.
Rev. V. B. Spillman, so widely
known among Baptists in the south,
was also in the auditorium yester
day, and said he. was absolutely de
lighted wiih the beauty, the spacious
ness and the convenience of it in
every ay( and that he would tell
about it everywhere. The ascent to
the galleries is by means of ramps or
slopes,, -which the Romans used so ef
fectively, and which make walking
so many times easier than the ordi
nary steps; The building can be
filled and emptied with great, rapid
ity. It is to be finished July 1st. The
builders say' it will seat 5,400 per
sons. There are two ticket windows;
one on either side of the central ent
rance on East Davie Btreet. Mar
quees, suspended by chains, will
overhang the sidejvalk on tnat side,
so that in case of rain there will be
no trouble, as vehicles can drive to
the curb and passengers alight and
enter without getting wet. the stage
of the building is 80 feet wide and 26
feet deep.

today that halt of the United States
army have been inoculated without a
