HIDEOUS CONSPIRACY

To Defraud metropolitan Insurance
Company at Louisville.
LOUISVILLE, Nov. 12-Through the
efforts of nearly the entire detective
force of louisville and Jeffersonville
the details of the conspiracy of Newell
@. Rathbun to defraud the Metropolitan
Insurance company, which ended in the
mysterious murder at the Falls City
hotel in Jeffersonville are being brought
out.
The more the case is developed the
more hideous is the conspiracy evolved
by Rathbun. He admits that after Sc.
curing corpse and dressing it in his
own clothes he intended to set fire to
the hotel and burn it down so that the
body of the dead man could be ideuti-
fed Us that of himself
Having, as they believe, established
the identity Of the murdered man, the
detectives are busy developing the case
against Rathbun. He has told several
stories, but the one that he stuck to the
longest, and which he still insists is
true, is that he formed the conspiracy
i'll conjunction with deserter from the
regular army by the name of Blanchard.
He states that he and Blanchard met
here by agreement and discussed the de.
tails Of the plot. IL was, of course, nee
esSary first to secure a corpse, and
Blanchard agreed to provide the corpse
if Rathb bun would set fire to the build
ing after the corpse was prepared.

NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-The Herald
prints the following:
1t is stated in trade circles that con-
solidation of steel plate mills is being
planned and that the deal is being car
ried on under the direction of Charles
NJ. Schwab, president of the United
States Steel corporation. Conferences
have been held in this city, the latest
one of which took place recently in Mr.
Schwab's Office, but so far the matter
could be presented to bankers.
Since Feb. 15 last very rigid trade
alliance has existed IN the steel plate
business. 1t was commonly known as
the plate pool, while its official name
was the Association OF American Steel
Manufacturers. This association con-
trolled incidentally the structural steel
manufacturers. There are about ID
important plate manufacturers in the
pool, some of which have been absorbed
by the United States Steel corporation
The present efforts of the promoters
have been directed to consolidate into
one company all the independent or
outside steel platemakers The necessi-
ty of a closer alliance than this associa-
ton has become apparent within the
last few weeks.
A consolidation has been suggested
and manufacturers themselves are now
studying the situation with q view to
accom- plishing this plan.
