Funerals of Victims.

Johnstown, Pa, July IA. - Saddest
of all the scenes following the
mine disaster of Thursday were
those attending the funerals Satur.
day and yesterday of the 1914
victims. Under the black pail of
smoke that hangs over the city
church bells tolled continually, and all
day long the dead carts rumbled
through the streets to the Slav, Crea,
ton, Greek and Roman Catholic
churches, where the scenes of leave
taking were most affecting. Nearly
all the funerals took place in the Gem.
etery where are buried the dead of the
great Johnstown flood.
The burial was simplified by the dig
ging of long trenches, in place of sep
arate graves. In one Of these rs cot.
fms were lowered.

Mr.. schwab In Defending the Com
pany Against Suits of Stockholders
Who Oppose Bond Issue.
Newark, N. j., July 16.-The answer
Of the United States Steel Corporation
to the suit brought by ]. Aspinwall
Hodge, William H. Curtis and Ber-
nard Smith, who asked for an injunc-
ton to prevent the company from car
rying out the s2OO,OOO,OOO bond con-
version plan, was filed yesterday be-
fore Vice Chancellor Emery. When the
case came up before the vice chancel-
Tor it was put over until July 23. The
answer is sworn to by Charles M.
Schwab, as president
For the first time since the organiza-
ton of the steel corporation detailed
statement of the assets of the proper
ties of the subsidiary companies is fur
nished. These assets, it is stated, in
clude 400 producing mills of the value
of $Se0,000.O00; IS blast furnaces Oh the
value of $48,O0O,OOO; iron and bessemer
ore properties of the value of S700, OOO,-
900; coal and coke properties of the
value of $1OO,O0O,OOO; natural gas fields
Of the value of $2O,O0O,OO0 cash in
bank to the amount of $66, 10000, and
over sS0,OOOOOO of materials in pro-
cess of manufacture. The total value
of the company's property, including
cash and cash assets is placed at ST.
400,000,000 by IIr. Schwab in an affida-
Wit which is part of the corporations
reply.
The company's earnings are stated to
be at the rate of more than $4,000, 900
year. A saving of $50, 100000 a year
is credited to the ore properties, and
| it is estimated that the ownership of
transportation facilities saves the
company S1O,OOO,OOO annually. The
earnings of the coal and coke proper
ties are stated to be more than $1,OOO,-
600 month These statements as to
values and earnings were presented to
disprove the charge by the plaintiffs
that Mr.. Schwab, the president, and
Mr.. Trimble, the secretary, made .
false certificate when they certified
that in their judgment the properties
were worth at least the par value OF
the preferred stock after deducting all
indebtedness.
The conversion plan was agreed upon
at stockholders meeting on May 10
The answer admits that the conversion
plan includes a payment of $40, 900. OOC
to ]. P. Morgan & Co. 1t denies thai
any of the acts contemplated will
work fraud or injury to the complain
ants, but says that on the contrary
such acts when consummated will be
greatly to the benefit of the corporation
and of every stakeholder. The answer
says that some Of the directors are
members Of the syndicate formed By
]. p. Morgan & Co. to toat bonds, anC
that that fact was communicated tC
stockholders in a circular dated April
IL. 1902.

TROUBLESOME MICROBES.
BncteriOIOEists Saved the Canning
Industry From Them.

A striking illustration of the CONNER
cial benefit of meteorological investiga-
tons is furnished by the remarkable
growth of the canning industry during
the last few years, or, more particularly,
since ENTHUSIASTICALLY those of MIR.
Samuel &. Prescott and Mr.. w. Lyman
Underwood at the Massachusetts lnsti-
tute of Technology in Boston-have re-
Guced the canning of foods to a scientific
process. About twenty years ago the
canning factories were threatened with
failure from the spelling of their prod
ucts. In the case Of canned corn espe-
cially the loss was extremely heavy. In
one year nearly the whole output soured
and became unmarketable. In fish, meats,
fruits and vegetables there were losses
from similar causes, and the canning
business in general suffered greatly from
the prejudice against all canned goods
which arose in the mind of the consumer
who had attempted to use the spoiled ar
ticles.
The packers did what they could tc
prevent the spelling of their products, in
some instances spending years in making
experiments, but it was not until the
question of spoiled foods was thoroughly
investigated ug LIdlueu DlOlOslSlS that TIT
cause and the remedy of the difficulty wa!
clearly understood. 1t was then appar
ent that this spelling of canned foods re
suited from fermentation, which was
caused by the presence of certain vari
cites Of microbes. Careful examination.
were made in the laboratories of the In
stitute of Technology of spoiled cans o.
Holsters, CLAIMS, corn, peas and a variet!
of other foods. In every instance it wai
found possible to isolate and cultivate thu
particular bacteria which caused thu
spelling. A dozen such were found il
corn alone, and each sort of spoiled foOC
helped to swell the list.
Having procured plantations Of thes'
cultures" as they are ealleC
! in the laboratory-it was possible to stud!
the tiny germs under the microscope, t,
test them with various foods and condi
tons and. finally, to determine accuratel!
what means are necessary for their de
structiOn. For example, certain bacil
lus was found under the husks of an ca
of corn and followed through the variou
stages of preparation and packing, unit
finally its development made the content
Of the whole can unfif to eat Once thes
various microbes were identified Their
was but little difficulty in establishing tn
amount of heat required in each case t
destroy them and thoroughly sterilize tn
contents Of the whole can, with the result
that the whole industry has been rescue'
! from threatened ruin and put on SCUM
and practical basis.
