After the arrest of John X. Smith, who
was fined $50 in the City Court yesterday
on the charge of committing an assault
and battery upon Gertrude Gray last spring,
Chief of Police Massey learned that Smith
was nephew of Samuel Roberts of Clayton
and had lived with Mr.. Roberts. He left
MIR. Roberts residence last Saturday and
after his departur the Roberts family missed
a woman's gold watch and chain, meer-
schaum pipe and pair of eyeglasses. The
missing watch Tailed with the description
of one which Smith is alleged to have
pawned in Philadelphia last Monday. the
ticket for which was found In his pos
session. Chief Massey communicated with
MIR. Roberts and from what he learned
thinks it likely that warrant will be sworn
out in Kent county charging Smith with
larceny. If Smith fails to pay the $50 fine
In the assault and battery case, which
seems probable, he will be sent to jail this
afternoon aud may have to serve three
months. At the expiration of that period,
il detainer is lodged with the local
authorities in the meantime, Smith will be
turned over to the Kent county authorities.

John h. Converse INTERCEPTED Yester-
day by the Industrial Commission.
FOUR LOCOMOTIVES EACH DAY
Capacity of Plant Twelve Hun
dred a Year.
COST LESS THAN FOREIGN PRODUCT
Associated Press Dispatch BY Special Wires.

Associated Press Dispatch by Special Wires.
Philadelphia, Pa, Dec. 10. john II,
Converse, member Of the firm of Burn.
ham, Williams d Co., which controls the
Baldwin locomotive works, appeared before
the Industrial Commission today.
He stated that the industry was established
- 1881, and has steadily grown until today
capacity of the plant Is ZOO locomotives a
year, or practically four locomotives for
each working day. The capital employed
Mr.. Converse estimated at not less than
$40 600, COO. About $500 hands are engaged
at the works; The foreign trade in locomc-
tiyes, he said, has been growth OF the last
~ years. At first, 1t was confined to Cuba
and South America, but during the last
20 years, IL has extended to the Eastern
hemisphere. Mr.. Converse gave as reasons
for the Introduction Of American locomoi
tiyes abroad the possibility of earlier de-
livery, preference tor American, locomo-
tiyes as TO type, size and details and the
question Of price. Engines have been con-
structed, he said, at less cost per unit of
weight than the ordinary foreign locomo-
In. answer to a question by Chairman
Clark, Mr.. Converse said the wages of the
firm g employees are higher than those paid
abroad. In that case, "sad Chairman
Clarke, "how can you produce locomotives
at less cost than the foreign product?" Mr..
Converse said he believed this fact to be
due to the industry and intelligence of the
American workman, and the much larger
use of improved machinery here than
abroad.
As to the question OF speed. Mr.. Converse
stated that the substitution of steel rails for
those of iron permitted an increase of
weight In engines which rsulted In greater
speed. The increase in speed and capacity
has brought about reduction In the cost Of
transportation aud operating.
Regarding tariff conditions, Mr.. Converse
said that. owing to the government owner
ship system existing in most foreign coun-
tries, no difficulty was ever encountered in
that respect.
ASKED as to the condition of the industry,
MIR. Converse said 1t is at present more
1897.
MIR. Kennedy asked the witness IL any at
tempt had been made to combine all the
American locomotive works. Mr.. Converse
answered in the affirmative. but said the
effort was unsuccessful. His firm opposed
the project, and he did not believe locomo-
tives could be built at a lower cost il such
an idea were carried cut,
