THE SALE ADJOURNED.

Again Only one Bidder for tho Wood
Planning Mill Plant Appears =. 1t
may DO Disposed Of ut Private Sale.
The effort OF Receivers Edward wag-
ner and George D. Maxwell to sell the
planning mill OF the Wood Brothers
Planning Mill Company, located at the
corner Of Thirty-third and Chapllne
streets, South Side. advnntageously to
the creditors. has so far been unsuc-
cessful. 1t will be remembered the
plant was recently sold at public sale
to Nfessrs. John A. Howard and T. S.
Riley. representing the building asso-
citation holding Hen on the property,
but that the bid was knocked out by
Judge Hervey as being insufficient.
Yesterday the property was again up
for sale, and Mr.. Riley was the only
bidder, he renewing his bid OF sl1,5OO.
Mr.. Maxwell strongly objected to nc.
ceptlnB this bid. and favored securing
Judge Heryey's consent to an effort to
dispose Of the property at private sale.
1t was decided to adjourn the sale un-
til next Wednesday, June %. at 10 n.
M. and in the meantime Judge Hervey
Will be asked to allow private sale.
MIR. Riley intImated that he might not
renew his bid If the snle were adjourn
ed.
Even If the plant brings $4,000 1t Is
not likely that the unsecured creditors
and stockholders will get anything, as
the secured liabilities foot up more
than that amount.

.LABELLE MAY MOVE
Rumored in Industrial Circles
that the South Side Plant
WILL GO TO s7EUBENyILLE
Better Facilities for Getting It's own
Steel and More Room Afforded by
its Purchase of Jefferson Iron
Notwithstanding to the Rumor,
its Wheeling Plant Would be Sold
TO Tin Plato Combine.

According to O well defined rumor,
which is said to have originated in
Steubenville, the La Belle iron works,
Of this city, is now carrying on nego-
tiations for the removal Of its plant to
Steubenville. The cause for the pro-
posed change Is said to be better facilI-
ties in steubenville, where the company
owns the. Jefferson iron works and q
large tract Of ground, embracing forty
acres In the aggregate.
The company's Wheeling plant con-
sists OF nall factory and two plate
mills, which In the event of a change
would be sold to the American Tin
Plate Company-the tin plate combine
which purchased the La Bellies tin
mills when the combine was formed.
In Steubenville the In Belle would
have good nall factory, two plate
mills and blast furnace, although the
latter is now under lease to the Ma
tional Steel Company. The company's
Wheeling plant now gets Its steel from
the Aetna-Standard and Bellaire steel
mills, and by moving to Steubenville
It would make its own steel on the
ground. The large amount Of ground
owned by the company ut the
Ohio town on which to spread
out is. however. a weighty considera-
ton. for the company has no spare
ground to speak of at Its South Side
plant.
The La Belle iron works Is nearly
fifty years old, and Its removal from
Wheeling would occasion no little re-
greet. 1t employs about 400 hands, and
although the American Tin Plate Com
pany would utilize the vacated mills,
and convert them Into tin producers,
employing probably a larger force Of
men. this feature wouldn't lessen the
feelings Of sorrow at the old La Bellies
move. The deal has not been consum-
mated. and may not be, but accord
Ing to Steubenville source 1t is be-
ing discussed as In the realms of prob
ability this year.
Local officials of the La Belle could
not be seen last night.

TIN PLATE OPPOSITION,
Rumors That Opposition to the Com
Dinc VII, MntcrialIZc.

RumOrS Innt Opposition TO the Conn
binc VIII Mntcrializc.
Chicago dispatches recently reported
that n conference had been held in
that city to discuss the formation of a
combination to fight the tin plate trust.
and that 1t was proposed to establish
plant at Joliet, H.. with a capital Of
81. 100000
The report was not confirmed In the
tin plate trade. 1t Is, however, signin-
cant that there are persistent rumorS
that an opposition 10 the American
Tin Plate Company is organizing.
When the trust WAS formed some time
ago. II will be recalled that there were
numerous reports of new independent
companies, and this when coke tins
were selling around 81 Is box. While
many Of these projects were apparent
ly bona ilde, 1t was noticed that but lit
tie was subsequently heard of them,
even though the price of coke tins rose
TO 81. The reason for this is alleged to
be that the American Tin Plate Com
pany had such close private arrange
ments with the grent steel companies
that 1t was virtual imposslbllity for
any outside tin plate interests to secure
raw material. Now. however. there are
as above stated. renewed reports of an
opposition. 1t Is thought that the re-
cent failure to organize the projected
consolidation of sheet steel mills, though
the promoters say that the deal has not
ben formally abnndoned-may have
some bearing on the matter. At all
events there Is evidence that plans are
being seriously discussed by would be
competitors Of the tin plate trust.

He told Justice Crutchfeld that he was

where his father and mother were now
or even whether they were living or dead.
He has had 10 scuftie for himself for a
long time, he said, and was in despair
and ready to give up. Justice John felt
very sorry for the little fellow, as he al
ways is for defenceless children, and sent
him TO the refoTmatory for eighteen
months. which is the longest period for
which common vagrant" can be SEN
