Revolution in Transcoutinental Freight
Movement Going On.

Denver, Col, Feb S--The Times
says:
Under the supervision of the United
States surveyor Of customs for the port
OF Denver a slow but sure revolution in
transcontinental freight movements is
going on. Last night the Globe Snelt-
ing company shipped one thousand
tons of pig lead through the custom
house in bond to Liverpool On Jan
uary 1S the Pueblo Smelling and Re
fining company shipped eight hundred
tons of pig lead to Liverpool via Cal
weston, and these shipments have con-
tinued daily at the rate of about six
carloads day
This morning the Guggenheims, the
Philadelphia Smelling and Refining
and will at once join in the movement
to Liverpool of large quantities OF Lead
Back of the movement Is a scheme to
break the backbone of the trust, and
millions of dollars are at stake. The
trust sought to freeze out. the English
owners of the great silver and lead
mines in British Columbia by declining
to buy the output of the mines, and at
the same time advanced the price of
lead the world over. The development
Of the country was delayed until big
syndicate took charge of the mines in
the Kootenai and Slogan districts Of
British Columbia, and with unlimited
capital began the fight.
Favorable railroad rates have been
secured and arrangements have been
made so that the ore, as soon as 1T
crosses the American line, is placed in
bonded warehouses and smelted and
refined under the eye of customs Off
cials. Transformed into bars of pig
| lead, it is then shipped to Liverpool
via Galveston. In Liverpool a market
uncontrolled by the lead trust is found
and the fact that it is shipped and
smelted while in bond relieves the
owners of the United States duty on
| imported lead.
"A market for lead shipped under the
same conditions has also been found
| in France, and to-day six carloads of
| pig lead were shipped from Denver to
| Havre, France

Totally Destroyed.
The building at 437 East street, be-
longing to the Consolidated railroad,
together with large stock of grain
and feed owned by N. G. Hall & Co.,
was destroyed by fire early this morn
ing. The alarm was sent in at 1925
o'clock from box 49, Engines 4, 2 and 8
responded, but the fire had obtained so
much headway because of the infiam-
mable character of the building and
contents that it was impossible to save
either.
Besides the grain and feed there was
lot of material and machinery for
manufacturing fertilizer,
The loss on the building and contents
amounts to about $1,000, and is said to
be fully insured.
The building was at one time occu-
pied by Insurance Commissioner Belts
as a grain and feed store.
This is the third time that the build
ing has been on fire. Mr.. Belts lost a
large stock of grain and feed on one
of these occasions.

Board to Decide Upon Universal Auto

mobile Torpedo for the Navv.
Newport, r. l., Feb. 3.-The board to
decide upon a universal automobile
torpedo for the navy met at the torpedo
station to-day 1t consists of Captain
Merrill Hitler, U. s. n, and Command
ers Richard Wainwright and George
A. Converse, u. S. NJ, the latter being
inspector of ordnance at the torpedo
station and one of the foremost tor
pedo experts of the navy.
At present both Whiteheads and
Howells are used, the former predomi-
mating about 4 to l. Whiteheads have
been issued in eighteen-inch size and
Howells in fourteen-inch, but recently
they have been increased to the same
size as the Whitehead, and claims are
set forth that they are much more ca
pable in speed, distance and capacity
for explosives.
The Whitehead operating power is
compressed air, while that of the How
ell is from stored energy in a fiy-wheel,
which has to be impaired after the tor
pedo is in the firing tube. The former
cost the government third more than
the latter. But few Of the craft in ser
vice have been supplied with the How
ellis, for 1t was not until comparatively
recently that the first was received for
delivery. Both torpedoes have been
extensively tested at the station, and
a great amount of data has been TAX
en-, so it is not probable that it will be
necessary to hold special trials for the
board to reach it's conclusions.

cracks will have to take their chances
