There is no doubt that Sandro had

for that stab gave thee"
Snudro dropped with his head on the
cushioned seat of the gondola and fell

oar, and the gondola foated down the
narrow canal until the Cnnalazzo was
reached. This rapidly crossed. and the
gondola took the shortest way across
the city toward the Ponte del Mendl-

TESTIMONY IN REGARD TO IT'S AFFAIRS
BEFORE THE INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION.

TESTIMONY IN REGARD TO IT'S AFFAIRS
BEFORE THE INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION.
Washington Nov. 15.-The Industrial Commission
to-day gave its attention to the plated siverware
business hearing first Samuel Dodd president OF
the International Silver Company, and W. H.
Watrous, a director of that company. and after
ward ~ b. Rogers. an Independent manufacturer.
Mr. Dodd said that the Interna tonal Silver Com
pany was organized about year ago. and
that with two exceptions. It was composed OF
Connecticut manufacturers. There are in the COM
bination fifteen factories and as many stores. but
It was the expectation that about ten Of the stores
would be closed There had been an increase OF
the labor force employed. Notwithstanding some OF
the factories had been closed and there also had
been n slight increase In wages since the com
bination was effected Mr.. Dodd estimated that the
company manufactures 80 or 60 per cent OF the en-
tire plated silver output OF the country but said
deed, there were about forty separate establish
ments still in existence. He stated that the plants
in the combination were worth about half the
amount Of the capitalization OF S2OOOO,OW and the
patents the other half.
n b. Rogers OF C. Rogers Co.. silver plate
manufacturers of Danbury Conn, said that his
company at first had contemplated entering the
International combination but afterward decided
not to do so. One objection he made to the method
OF organizing that the negotiations. he said,
all conducted In the name OF a clerk. who
a dummy and irresponsible. The promoters
received per cent Of the common ,n stock ana
the pool as a bonus The combination had
duced prices Immediately after organizing and
the competition since then had been extremely
sharp but Mr. Rogers was Of opinion that low
prices had been at the expense OF quality He said
he had heard from stakeholder OF the lnterna-
tinnal Company that the company had passed Its
first dividend and at the time the dividend should
have been declared had increased the salaries Of
