PRESIDENT NORMAN
Denies the Rnmor of the Contem plated Sale of the Johnson Steel Works

sAie ot the 0ohusOu stset VI orks.
 CLEVELAND, O., Oct 15.-President A. J. Moxham of the Johnson Steel Co. speaking of the rumored sale of the plant to John D. Rockefeller, said
 ''The original plans of the Johnson company have been changed since first mapped out They were to leave the switch works and oth- CT allied interests at Johnstowp, because Johnstown was, in our judg- ment, the best place for this class of manufacture. The manufacture of steel rails was to be conducted at Lo- rain, because we considered Lorain the best point in the United States for this purpose. We still consider it so, and far from regretting our move, have every reason to be more than pleased with the result We be- heve we will make at this point the cheapest steel-made in the United States. l am somew hat tired of deny ing the rumors concerning the pur- chase by the Rockefeller interest of our plant. Let me say emphatically and clearly, once more, the Johnson company is trying to sell it's plant to nobody"

He said that so far as he knew the orders of the Bancroft were simply to join the Mediterranean fleet under the command of Admiral Selfridge. Secretary Herbert declined to say anything about the matter. The statement that the Bancroft was in- tended for service at Constantinople was originally published exclusively in the Washington dispatches of the United Associated Presses on August 23 last, and was at that time vigorous ly denied by certain news-gathering organizations

Drunken Army Recruits Make Things
Lively on the Pennsylvania Express.
CHICAGO, Aug. ga number of
army recruits from Columbus Barracks,
o., bound for various posts in the West
made things lively on the fast Pennsyl-
vania express which arrived in Chicago
during the evening. Nearly all the men
were drunk and they fought all the
time. Private Hayes, who is destined
to be an ornament to the Fourth Cav
airy, procured a knife and attempted
to carve his comrades. 1t was taken
from him but he obtained another knife
and renewed the attempt. This knife
was also taken from him, but he man
aged to procure a third, and again tried
to cut up several other soldiers. This
knife was taken away, and,
After Being Well Pounded,
Hayes subsidized. Then the balance of
the army re-enforcenlents began to
fight among themselves. During this
round Private Charles Charleton of the
Fourth cavalry was kicked in the alb
domen and badly hurt. Private Karpp
received a broken thumb and Private
Holt took a .acerated scalp as his share
of the good things that were being
passed around. The windows in the
car were smashed, the water cooler was
demolished by way of showing con.
tempt for its contents, and the cushions
of the a were torn up, thrown on the
floor and pitched out of the windows.

ROBBED A BANK
An Unknown Thief Took About
q Thousand at Kansas

Momentary Absence of

Themselves.

KANSAS CITY, Aug. 22.-Across the
line in Kansas City, Kan, an unknown
thief entered the branch of the Ameri.
can National bank during the moment
airy absence of the cashier, and, prying
open a desk, secured 81 900 in currency
or more and made his escape.
Two hundred dollars in silver was
untouched. The act was most bold and
was apparently committed by some one
familiar with the premises. The bank
is situated in a busy portion of the
place, making the robbery more daring.
How 1t Happened.
E. r. Boswell, cashier and teller,
opened the bank shortly after 9 o'clock.
After counting several thousand dollars
taken from the safe, he remembered he
had a message to deliver to a neighbor.

turned the bulk of it to the safe and the
rest OF it to a drawer in the cashiers
table desk. Across the hall from the
bank sat j. R. Stoller, president of the
Kansas City Live Stock Exchange. He
was only a dozen feet distant, and Bos.
well felt safe in going out. Although
he returned in at least five minutes the
robbery had been committed without
anyone knowing it. The robber had
come behino the railing, pried open the
drawer, probably with a small bar
taken what currency he could easily
carry and carefully closing the recepta

is not known and may exceed 81 900.
