same can also be said Of the Chesa-

On Iron Plates to be Stopped, and

PITTSBURGH, Jan. lS.-The Amerl-
can Manufacturer, in its weekly review
OF the iron trade, says:
The falling in the prices OF plates, es-
pecially tank plates, and narrow sizes.
seems to be more In the nature Of a
contest bstween two large local inter-
ests than an actual tfuctuatton In
values due to the market. The infsr-
ence is thrown out that one concern
was compelled to look for business in
that line even during the boom most OF
last summer, and to secure what it
wanted shaded prices on plates. With
in short time tank plate dropped un-
til the quotations stood at e 20. That
was not maintained long because an
other interest became interested enough
to to try to stop the shading, and two
weeks ago the quotations were 81 80
fiat. That rate lasted only one week.
however. until the first producer. the
one accused Of dropping values unnec-
essartly. went the rival slight point
better and quoted So 40. All agree that
plates should be higher and there is an
indication now that the cutting VIII

The remains of Herona Bauchert, a
baker, formerly employed by the Charles

the Georgetown University Hospital yes
terday from injuries sustained in a coils on
with @ wagon at Rosslyn, Va, Sunday night
last were removed TO the home Of Mrs.
Jane Hessliner, sister OF the deceased,
last night. Funeral services will be held
from the house, 1886 Wiltbesger Sire
northwest, this afternoon at 4:3O o'clock.
BeuChert was twenty-five years Of age. tie
lived at COZ l. Street northeast, and was
unmarried.
Accompanied by two companions Beu-
ebert WISH I'd Virginia Sunday afternoon.
All the party rode bicycles. and it was
quite dark when Ro@ slyn was reached on
the return TIP. Whit passing through the
village a wagon, driven by an unidentified
man, was met. In trying to pass the We
hicfe Beuchert apparently misludgei the
width of the road, for he collided with the
wagon while going at a rapid rate The
force Of the collision threw him to the
ground As he fell the shaft of the wagon
entered his abdomen, iniicting q deep
wound.
When Beuchert fell the driver of the
wagon whipped up his horses and dlsap-
peared. Friends OF Beuchert, also unknown
to the police, took the victim to the hospi-
tai in q buggy.
Beyond learning the facts connected with
the death Of Beuchert the local police are
powerless The accident occurred in Vir-
ginia, where it is thought the driver Of the
wagon lives. Acting Coroner GlaZeb-ook
investigated the case yesterday afternoon.
An inquest here will not be held. DIT.
Glazebrook said the case called for action
by the Virginia authorities.

ENALT1Es FOR POLICE.
Proposition to Give the Supcrintend-
ent More Authority.

Richard Sylvester, the Major and Super
intendent Of Police, II is understood, viii
offer a recommendation to the Commission
ers that the Metropolitan Police Manual be
amended in certain particulars relating TO
the imposing of penalties upon officers who
are tried by the trial officer and found
guilty Of the charges brought against them
1t is proposed that in cases where the
charges proved against an officer are not
Of a character requiring u recommendation
to be sent to the Commissioners that the
Superintendent shall be vested with the
right to impose penalty. 1t is stipulated,
however, that in all cases the Superintend-
ent, complaining witnesses, and members
of the force who may be defendants will
have the right, when not satisfied with the
Judgment OF the trial officer, or with the
yenalty imposed by the Superintendent, to
appeal 70 the Commissioners. In that
event the proceedings in the case shall be
forwarded TO the Commissioners for re-
view and final determination.
Under present arrangements all cases
in which the imposing Of penalty upon Of
ficers of the police force for cause must be
taken up by the Commissioners This re-
quires a good deal Of time on their part
and in their decision they are generally in
accord with the recommendations Of the
superintendent, based upon the findings Of
the trial officer. The review Of a case,
therefore. by the Commissioners is clerical
rather than judicial, and It IS thought both
by the Commissioners and the Superin
tendent that justice will be quite as well
shown and business considerably expedited
by vesting the Superintendent with the
power to deal with many cases which now
are sent up to the Commissioners for final
decision

MIR. BIEBER ON THE STAND.
Examined Mt Length ms to His Bust
ness Affairs.

At a meeting Of the creditors Of Samuel
Bieber, who three weeks ago filed a petit
ton IN voluntary bankruptcy, the time yes
terday was taken up with the examina-
ton Of the petitioner relative to his bust
ness affairs. Il was quite q surprise TO
the attorneys representing the creditors
when Leon Tobriner. counsel for Mr. Bic
Der, announced that the petitioner was
present and ready 90 be examined.
When the meeting OF the creditors held
last Thursday adjourned It was generally
understood that the examination of Mr..
BIeber would be postponed until October
next. This conclusion was arrived at
when. at the last meeting Of the creditors.
Mr. Tobriner stated that Mr.. Bieber was
in very bad health and was not able to say
at what time he would be able to undergo
an examination. Although several of the
attorneys for the creditors expressed sur
prise, no objection was made TO beginning
the examination.
William r Mattingly, representing the
Second National Bank. was the first TO
question the petitioner. His examination
into the business affairs OF Mr.. Bieber con-
sumed the whole Of the morning and part
Of the afternoon session. When Mr.. Mat
tiugly concluded, the examination was con-
tinued by Attorney James F. Edwards,
who represents creditors claiming large
amounts
At p. N. John s. McCalmont. the ex-
aminer in bankruptcy, who is conducting
the proceedings. ordered an adjournment
until this morning at 1890 o'clock
The examination Of Mr. Bieber today
viii probably be conducted by Mr.. Cohen,
Of the law firm Of Wolf & Cohen.

The differences between the steam
filters and their helpers and their en-
ployers have not yet been adjusted. 1t
was expected that the trouble which has
existed between the workmeu and the
bosses for nearly month would be
amicably settled at a conference held yes
terday afternoon between representatives
of the Master Steam Filters Association,
the Central Labor Union. aad Building
Trades Council. 1t was stated, however,
that the meeting was very brief and
nothing was accomplished, so far as an
adjustment OF the existing differences are
concerned.
Three members of the Master Filters
Association were present it is said, and
the Central Labor Union was represented
by Milford Spohn and the Building Trades
Council by z. L. Lomax, Henry Hagerty
and John Kelly. The representatives Of
the master filters, it is said, stated they
had nothing rev to offer and would stand
by the terms Of settlement offered some
days ago. a prominent member of the
Steam Filters Union stated after the
conference that under these circumstances
it was useless to continue the discussion
of the matter. and the meeting adjourned.
The part of the terms Of settlement sub
fnitted by the master steam filters some
time ago. which the union men rejected,
is a clause requiring the Steam Filters
Union to admit TO membership on the
recommendation OF the employers all nom
union men now in their employment, with
out expense either to the applicants or the
Master Filters Association. This, the
steam filters say, under the laws of their
organization, they cannot do even if they
were so inclined.
The strike, as heretofore stated, was the
result of the refusal Of the master filters
to grant the demand of the workmen for
an increase OF wages. This difficulty was,
however. amicably settled the master fl
tiers granting an increase OF wages from
50 to $325 per day for the steam filters,
and from $3.50 to $1.75 per day for the
steam filters helpers. The original de-
mand of the workmen was $3.50 per day
for the steam filters and 81 per day for
the helpers.
After the failure of the conferees 10
amicably adjust the differences between
the strikers and the employers, promi-
nent member OF the Building Trades Coun-
ell stated that the strike will now probably
spread to all the building trades. He
called attention 10 the fact that on Mon
day night, at q meeting of the Central
Labor Union a resolution was adopted,
calling upon all affiliated unions to order
their members not to work with non-union
steam filters and their helpers. Similar
resolutions, It is stated. were adopted at
the meeting of the Building Trades Coun'
Gil on Tuesday night. The trades, which,
under these resolutions, must give prac-
teal help to the steam filters are the
electrical workers, plasterers, plumbers,
bricklayers, and carpenters.
