BONDS AT FIVE Per CENT.
TO TAKE PLACE OF 5000. 900. 900 OF
PER CENT. PREFERRED STOCK.
United states Steel corporation to Is
sue S255, 10000 900 of New Secur-
Statement.

NEW YORK, April 1.-The directors of
the United States Steel Corporation, in
quarterly meeting here to-day, gave formal
approval to the conversion plan under
which it is proposed to retire preferred
stock To the amount of $200,000,O 900, upon
which dividends are paid at the rate of
per cent. per annum, and issue bonds TO
q total of $3.50, OOO, 900, with interest fixed at
5 per cent. May - was fixed as the date
upon which the project will be submitted
to the shareholders. The directors also is
sued a statement showing that the earn
ings of the corporation for the first year
of its existence, which ended on March 81,
with the last month estimated, reached u
total of Sill, O67, 1876.
Before the meeting of the directors the
executive and finance committees were i'm
session. and the executive committee, as
well as the general board of directors,
unanimously approved the conversion plan.
Former Judge f.. II. Gary, chairman OF the
board, stated that the extra $50, 200. 600 of
bonds above the $500. 1000. 900 to be used for
the retirement of preferred stock would
give the corporation a working capital of
about $106. DOC, 900 to be used in any way thai
the directors might deem best. He would
not say that this implied the acquisition
of any new plants. The legal advisers of
the corporation laid special stress on the
point that no preferred stock would be re-
tired without the consent of the holder.
This, they said, would remove any impress
sion that the retirement of the preferred
stock for new bonds would be compulsory.
The directors voted the usual dividends
at the rate of Z per cent. on preferred stock
and 4 per cent. on the common stock.
Tine statement of net earnings showed
that the record by months was as follows:
April, 1901. 1886, IA; May. 1852, $40. June,
1894, TAI; July, $3.50. Isl; August, So, $40, $50;

uary, 1902. $500 ,Ol6; February. $685. SS;
March ~(estimated), 50, 100000; total net earn
ings. S111, O67. 1876.
The statement said: 1.-The net earnings

maintenance of plants" The amount ap-
piled each month to repairs. renewals and
maintenance of plants and interest on bonds
and fixed charges of the subsidiary COM
panies" was about 10 per cent. This is the
first time the corporation has made an ex-
plicit statement on this point. 1t proposed
to spend from $751; 0 900 TO $50, 10000 of
the needed working capital in improving
a number of the subsidiary companies

Carrie Larsen. promised her work as as

ing here fast in the ice. The boy keissig,
who was nineteen years old, averred that
on the night of the murder he was lying
on his bunk. ToOmbs, he said. was also I'M
dressed and lying down. Carrie Larsen was
lying in her stateroom. In order TO get her
out. he said. ToOmbs ordered her 10 come
out and cook his supper. She left the Sc
curity Of her room. only to be attacked by
TOOmbs. He assaulted her. the witness said,
and so frantically did she battle that in
doing so. TOombs choked her to death.
ToOmbs laid down for a while. leaving the
body stretched on the cabin floor. keissig,
Mortified into speechlessness. still stared
from his berth. What happened after
ToOmbs again rose is not printable. The
witness shuddered as he told the story and
there were many averted heads in the
courtroom. Attorney Barnes said that this
is the first time in the history of Chicago
that such a charge has been uttered against
an alleged murderer.
The witness regained his composure when
asked TO tell of the disposal of the body.
He declared that Toombs tied the rope
around it, weighted II, and then ordered
Keissig to help him to carry it 10 a hole in
the ice near the boat. This was done. and
keissig said that for some days afterward
he was afraid TO speak, fearing that
TOombs would kill him.

IN JAIL PART OF A DAY
MARTINECK AND HIS
WIFE ARE PUNISHED.
An Agreed Statement in the Case of
the FOrmer-POIice Court Dockets
Unsigned-Court Cases.

William Martineck and his wife, Kate
Martineck, were yesterday sentenced to
one day I'm Jail and fined $50 each for cruel
ty to Hazel Orme, the girl they had liz their
keeping. The jury found Mrs. Martineck
guilty and imposed q fine of $50 and SEN
tence of one day in Jail. Martineck was
to have been tried yesterday morning. He
entered a plea of not guilty. but on an
agreed statement the case was submitted
to Judge Afford. the agreement being that
Martineck would take the same fine and
sentence as his wife. The judge passed
sentence and they were taken to Jail. They
were locked UP. but released in the even
ing.
The case against Martineck was not as
strong as the case against his wife, and
the State vas willing TO have the case be
settled by agreement rather than let it go
to trial. 1t is evident that the defense
thinks it got a good verdict in the case
of Mrs. Martineck, for they could have Sc
cured another trial on the ground that
the Police Court Judgment was not signed
by Judge Stubs. Martineck's case was
sent back TO the Police Court until the
docket was signed and then appealed. The
cases Of John and Belle Orme, parents of
ttazel, were also sent pack 10 the romeo
Court until the dockets were signed and
their appeals will be tried.
The failure of the judge OF the Police
Court to sign the docket in these cases
has caused a general Investigation and
disclosed the fact that judgments in sew
eral cases were never signed and that Judge
DAILY, former police judge, also failed to
sign the docket in some cases. Among
his cases are three against dairymen for
violating the pure-food law by using for
maldehyde in their milk.
All of the cases were appealed to the
Criminal Court. One of them was tried
and an appeal was taken TO the Supreme
Court attacking the consCitutionality of the
law. The Supreme Court held that the law
was constitutional, but granted a new trial
on other grounds. AS Judge DAILY is now
out of office il is doubtful if the docket
can be properly corrected, a question aris-
ing as to whether or not he or Judge
Stubs can sign the judgments. 1t is prob
able that they will be thrown out of court.

"OLEO" BILL DISCUSSED.
Debated in the Senate-Vote to
BE Taken IN Thursday.

WASHINGTON, April IAN agreement
was reached by the Senate to-day to vote
on the pending ol-eomargarine bill before
adjournment next Thursday. Debate on the
measure was continued throughout to-day's
session.
Mr.. Heitfeld. of Idaho, opposed the bill
because he believed that it proposed to
drive the oleomargarine industry to the
wall. He strongly advocated the adoption
of the substitute offered, as. he said, that
would eliminate the possibility of fraud as
certainly as the pending measure would
and would do no injustice to anybody.
Mr.. GaIlinger, of New Hampshire. ad-
vocated the bill because it was a protest
against fraud and against an industry
(which depended for its success upon du-
plicity and dishonesty.
Mr.. Spooner, Of Wisconsin. made an ex-
tended legal and constitutional argument
in support of the measure. He said such a
tax as it imposed. in his opinion. was in
the interest Of the whole people. Mr..
Spooner admitted that oleomargarine was
a healthful product and therefore a legiti-
mate article of commerce. If the bill were
enacted into law he believed that the pro-
duction of oleomargarine under the flag Of
fair play would increase, rather than
diminish. He maintained that Congress
had the constitutional right to tax oleo-
margarine. and he supported the measure
because he believed the tax was in the
interest of the people, Discussing the col
oring of oleomargarine, he said: 1.-THE
most impudent proposition is that of the
hog and steer butter-makers that they
discovered the butter color. You may color
butter as you please and II is still butter,
and YOU may color oleomargarine as you
please and il is still not butter" He de-
clared that if the proposed tax Of 10 cents
a pound on colOred oleOmargarine was rot
SUFFICIENT TO deter the manufacturers from
imposing upon the consumers, Congress in
the future would have to find another
remedy.
Mr.. Bailey. OF Texas, began an argument
in opposition 10 the bill, but had not con-
cluded when the Senate adjourned.
