Caught on n Shutter-Neither Hurt.

Crazed by drink Annie Hayes. the wife of a
porter living on the third floor of the tenement
at the southwest corner OF Third avenue Ind
12sth street, threw her baby boy William out of
the front window yesterday. The child fell on
tho ledge of the show window of l.. Born's sa-
loon on the ground floor. A sign projecting
above the window top prevented the baby from
rolling off. Although he had fallen ten feet the
baby was apparently not hurt.
Before the baby could be taken from his
perch the drink-crazed mother threw herself
from the third story window. Her skirts caught
on a shutter which had just been opened by the
occupant of a second-story room. who was
reaching for the baby, and she was suspended IN
the air.
After the baby had been rescued from his
perilous position the woman's skirts were cut
loose and she was hauled into the adjoining
second STORY window. She said she wanted to
get the baby christened. and had dropped him
Into the font and jumped after him TO expedite
matters.
She and the baby were taken to Harlem Hos
pital. She was apparently not injured by her
experience and had to be bound because of her
struggles while being removed to the hospital
in an ambulance.

20 AMERICAN TIN PLATE FIRMS
"a Merely Dip Plate. but 10 Arc Complete
Manufactures.

The quarterly review OF tho American tin
plate manufact urlng Industry. published In the
Metal Worker this week, shows that seventy
three firms are now engaged or are ready to en-
gage in the manufacture OF tin plates In the
United States. Thirty-four OF these concerns
are what is known as dipping plants. which
merely coat black steel sheets purchased In the
market and finish them into tin plates. The re-
naming thirty-nine concerns are tin plate
works proper; that is to say, plants which
roll and coat their own steel sheets.
These thirty-nine works possess an az
gregate OF l72 hot mills. used for manu-
featuring the black steel plates which when
coated constitute tin plates. In the first quar-
ter OF the year seventeen such mills were added
to the works. increasing their annual capacity
by over 100000 boxes and bringing tho present
potential capacity Of American TIN plate mills
up TO about . ZOO, 900 boxes IA year. Thus Amer
lean tin plate manufacturers are now In a posi-
ton TO I'LL the whole OF tho cOnsumpti demand
for tin plates in the United States apart from
that proportion used by the packers and by the
oil trade, which, enjoying the advantage OF a
