NATIONAL Tin PLATE 60.
which WIN, II Il said, Enter the
Field in Competition With the
American Tin Plate Company The
Papers Of Incorporation Have Not
Yet Been 1ssued- There WIN Be but
a Nominal capitalization.

Throughout the country there Is the
greatest interest evinred in the organ
i1ation OF the National rlh-Plate Com
pany, which 1t 10 said will enter the In
dustry soon, in competition with the
American Tin Plate Company. The in-
eorporators are Wheeling and Pitts
burRh men, Including State Senator N.
E. whitaker, Of this city. Mr.. Whita-
ker has declined to discuss the matter
and It Is learned that the promoters Of
the enterprise were surprised when the
publication Of the plans Of the company
We're printed in the Wheeling and
Pittsburgh papers Monday morning.
It was learned yesterday afternoon
that the capitalization will not be So
100000 at the start. The papers Of In
corporation, which, 1t is expected, will
DO issued by Secretary Of State Daw-
son. at Charleston to-day, will give but
nominal capitalization, but with the
privilege to increase to 100000,
Up to this time, the enterprise Is only
in its lncIplent stage. and Its financing.
location OF plant and other matters Of
the greatest Importance remain for flu
ture consideration soon none Of
the parties Interested will say.
The experimental product got out at
the whitaker plant by William Rod
gers, IT,, son OF William Rodgers, ST.,
the latter the inventor OF the new pro-
cess, which Is the greatest asset of the
company, was, It Is asserted, all that
could be desired. but as to any details
OF the process no reliable information
can be obtained now, except that the
process shortens the operations Of pro-
duclng the finished tin plates from sew
eral days to several hours.
OF the new company the Pittsburgh
Times says: The organizers Of the COM
pany were unwilling to talk about the
project yesterday, saying that they had
not intended to announce their plans so
soon. j. c. Mcdowell, vice president
OF the Philadelphia company, who has
been active in the scheme as an expert
and part owner. said that William Rod
gers had invented the process thirty
years ago.. and that he had been per-
fectlng 1t ever since. until now 1t Is
known that 1t is all that he claims for
It. Mr.. Mcdowell said that a conserva-
tive estimate OF the saving, compared
with present methods, Is $40 ton, or 50
cents box. He thought the cheapen-
ing might be even greater in a specially
built plant. ono
Men connected with the American
Tin Plate Company, the combine into
competition with whom the National
company would come, were inclined to
doubt the entire success Of the process,
saying that while the terne plates
might be turned out more cheapiy than
by present methods the bright plates
did not compare favorably with those
turned out by present machinery.

Providing the proper interest was de-

II was dealing a game out Of the box

man killed himself in the upstairs part
of the establishment" said man with
short gray hair and 4 pair Ct piercing

after the shot was fired and when I
looked the man over | remembered him
as a young chap Of father dlssulute
habits who had struck Kansas City with
apparently plenty of monay only few
weeks before. There We're five or six
four-handed poker games running in

tlemen from Kansas, they w2-e-what
had allied their table mate. They lass
ed it up.
He just hauls out his gun sudden
and does the Dutch act said enc of
them. Maybe he was a hard loser. I
believe we're into him for few hun
dred'
Didn't he say anything at all before
plugging himself?' l asked.
Nary a say was the reply. Just
scanned his hand-pretty farlsh- sized
jackpot, which he had opened himself
and then he reaches behind and brings
up that silver-mounted popgun, which
don't look like it's built to kill a full
grown man at that. Then he put it be

"A jackpot, you say?' I inquired.

The men looked al one another. They
didn't know. The young fellow had put
the ball in his head before the pot was
decided. They looked at their hands,
that they had thrown face down when
the young man had shot himself One
Of them had tens up on mines, that he
had on the go-in. Another had a pair of
queens, also on the go-in. and the last
of three had drawn to an ace and failed

THE young fellow had taken a big
Win-out chance in moment of desper-

to go through he was afraid of the con-
sequences, or crazy, or something and
so he just let gaslight into his head,
