Dearth of Steel Causes Cramp G Sons
to Shut Down Partially.
Philadelphia, Aug. 15.-Owing, to the
great difficulty experienced in getting
iron and steel rapidly enough to carry
on work, the William Cramp & Sons
ship and building company of this city
was compelled to greatly reduce its
force of 5000 men. By the end of the
week 1900 men win have been regulated
to enforced idleness. The decision Of
the company affects all departments
and has caused CONSERVATION among
the employees.
The firm was much averse to taking
this STEP but could not keep all the
men employed because of the lack of
iron and steel. The company has $40, :
100000 worth of work on hand. Other
ship yards on the Delaware river are
also experiencing trouble in getting
iron and steel. At present there are 81
vessels in the course of construction
along the Delaware and fully 21 of
them will be delayed owing to the lack
of material.

port Car, Held For Perjury.


Bridgeport, Conn, Aug. 15-The inquiry
into the causes of the trolley catastrophe
of Aug. 6, which is beng conducted by
Coroner Doten and jury, was resumed
today.
Coroner Doten sprung the first sensa-
ton, when he had William Kelly arrested
on the charge of perjury. Kelly was
witness last week and claimed that he
was ON the Inflated car. Today, how
ever, he admitted that he lied and that
his story was an invention.
Editor Beach of the Scientific American
caused another sensation, when, in his
testimony, he declared the guard rails in
adequate for safety, and claimed that
the construction of the approach was
faulty In his opinion, the high speed
of the car and the spTinginess of the road
bed caused the accident. William Hoey,
a retirel railroad contractor, was another
witness, and it was his opinion that the
guard rail on the bridge was as safe as
any. Many other witnesses were ex-
tinued for few days longer.

question will be arrived at by the three
powers while the tripartite condomin-

solution would lie in transfer of the
group to Germany. IF this be inn
possible, then Germany should elect
the governor, thereby securing two
votes while the English and American
interests should not be changed, one
vote from them being necessary to
form majority.
