STEEL BEAM POOL DISSOLVED.
Action Explained by One of Those Who
Attended the Meeting.


Philadelphia, May IA special meet.
Ing OF the companies interested in the
steel beam pool which was organized
fourteen months ago was held in this
city yesterday, and the pool was dis
solved and an open market created. The
companies represented at the meeting
were Jones & Laughlln. Carnegie COM
pany, Pencoyd Iron company, Illinois
Steel company, Phoenix Iron company,
Passaic Rolling Mill company, and Potts
vile Iron and Steel company. Percival
Roberts, Jr. vice president of the PEN
coyd company. stated that the meeting
was entirely harmonious and that all
were of the opinion that an open market
was best. He denied that there was any
distrust among those comprising the
pool, or that the rates on steel beams
had been cut.
He said: The fixed price on beams
has been maintained. but the companies
manufacturing these also make plates,
angles. etc. The prices on these latter
have been cut, owing to competition,
and there being no fixed price upon than
1t was deemed advisable to have an
open market on beams also" Roberts
does not believe that there will be any
general cutting Of prices now that the
pool is dissolved.

TURK HOLDS BACK
Stands Off an Armistice Until He
Captures Domokos.
STRONGHOLD Is TO BE EVACUATED

Greeks Will Probably Leave Today and
Then Peace Negotiations will Proceed
Powers Inclined to Talk Plainly to the
voked the war-Greeks Look Upon tho
Fighting as Ended.
London, May IA. The situation at
the scene Of hostilities appears to be
that Turkey is determined to occupy
Domokos before consenting to an armis-
tice. and that Greece is convinced Of the
impossibility of holding out against the
serious attack which Edhem Pasha ls
preparing to deliver. 1t has been de-
cided to evacuate Domokos and to fall
back upon the old frontier. This plan
Will probably be carried out today, if it
has not already been carried out, and
thus the way will be opened for peaca
negotiations. The powers are in no
mood to yield overmuch to the demands
or Turkey. The war has had quite an
unexpected effect in revealing an amaz-
ing military vitality in the sultan's do
minions, which is no way to the humor
OF Russia or the other powers.
Powers Give the Turk a Hint.
Hence the sultan will be reminded
that it was his original misgovernmenr
which led to the war; that only the infiu-
ence Of Europe prevented a general blaze
IN the Balkans, and that it is, there
fore, advisable for him to adopt reason
able terms. The activity Of Turkish
military preparations, which is in no
way abated by the diplomatic negotia-
tions. may possibly be explained by the
following statement Of a high Turkish
Official: 1.-The Russians are putting a
high price upon the moral support they
extended to us during the Armenian
troubles, but the demands now made
upon US are SO exorbitant that their
acceptance would be tantamOunt to
resigning our title as a free nation"
Pressing the Porte for Reply.
Constantinople, May 1.-THE foreign
ambassadors held another conference
yesterday, after which Baron de Calico.
the Austro-Hungarian ambassador
called upon Tewfik Pasha, the Turkish
of foreign affairs, and renewed
the proposal of an armistice which was
presented Wednesday. The opinion is
that until the occupation Of Domokos,
which Is momentarily expected, the porte
will not grant an armistice.
London, May 1.-THE correspondent
of The Morning Post at Domokos. under
yesterdays date, says: 1T has been
decided to evacuate this position and a
large number of troops have already
left. 1t is freely asserted that the war
Is over.''

Hanging of Fred Hoellman
at Paxton.
He WAS A WOMAN Halter.
Four Victims Have Perished
at His Hands.
Earthquakes in South Aus
tralia-Late News.

Paxton, ILL.,, May 14-Fred Hoell-
man, alias Hartman. was hanged
this morning. He was convicted on
circumstantial evidence of the MUIR
der Of Mrs. Weibke Geddes Dec. 2,
1896. He professed his innocence to
the last.
Hoellman was convicted 25 days
days ago Of the murder Of Mrs.
Weibknen Geddes, Dec. 2, 1896. II
was q most brutal crime. Mrs. Ged-
des was German woman rs years
old, the vito of farmer living four
miles north OF Gibson City, in Ford
county. This strange man, at once
q "Jack the Ripper" and an H. H.
Holmes, still further puzzled the
students OF his character by this
novel idea. Sheriff Is. F. Mason,
who has worked ind'fatigably on the
case, has connected Hoellman def
nitely with the murder of at least
four women. For years Hoellmsn
seems to have been filled with a
strange hatred Of the female sex and
desire for their lives. 1t Is believed
that he has murdered many more
than the four known to the police.
Before the case went to trial Sheriff
Mason traced Hoellman's every move
for months back. He connected him
with the following other murders:
Mrs. Augusta Seifkin, near Melvin,
ILL.,. In June. 1896; Mrs. Catherine
Mohr. near Ripon, Wis, in Septem.
Der, 1896; Mrs. Carrie Lense, near
Danforth, ILL.,. Thanksgiving morn
ing. 1896.
Even in tho face OF death, he freely
expressed his vindic.iveness. Yet il
was for = woman now dead that he
dressed himself yesterday in his
death robes, assembled the scaffold,
consented to have the rope adjusted
about his neck, and rehearsed his
execution except for the fatal end.
He was posing for a photograph.
from the sale OF which he hoped
enough money would DO realized to
bury him beside his first wife in
Grand Haven, Mich. She is the one
woman for whom he retained ten
der regard.
