DROPPED Sl2 A SHARE
CRUCIBLE STEEL COMPANY STOCK
AFFECTED BY RUMORS.
Report that n Receiver Was About to
Be Appointed for the Concern
Promptly Denied.

PITTSBURG, Oct. 13.-On rumor that a
receiver was to be appointed for the Cruel
BILE Steel Company the preferred shares of
the stock of that company dropped $12 a
share at the Pittsburg Stock Exchange to-
day. As soon as the officials of the COM
pany heard of the rumor they at once de-
MED it and the result was better feeling
and quick recovery of 81 a share. For a
time there was intense excitement at the
exchange and there were great efforts made
to sell, but in spite Of the offerings the to-
tai sales were little over 1900 shares of
the preferred, the price declining from SAT
to S35 a share. The common declined to s.
a share and then became stronger, like the
preferred, on the denial Of the rumor.
The Crucible Steel Company was organ
lied in 1900 with s50.0oO.0oO capital. s250o0.00o
each of common and preferred stocks. The
concern produces 10 per cent of the tool
steel made in the United States. The al
legged failure Of the deal between the Clair
ton Steel Company and the United States
Steel Corporation, whereby the latter would
acquire control of the Clarion works, and
the report that the Crucible desired to dis
pose of the Clarion plant was no doubt the
cause for the rumor that receiver was to
be appointed. 1t is said that deal is now
on for the absorption of the Clarion COM
pany by number OF manufacturers. Pres
ident Smith stated this afternoon that the
tangles in the company would be straight
ened out before the annuai meeting.
NEW YORK. Oct. 13.-Robert +. Jen-
nings, second vice president OF the Crucible
Steel Company said this afternoon that the
report that an application had been made
for a receiver for the company was absurd
He said he could not account for such a
rumor being in circulation. The company,
he declared, was never in better condition
than it is now. In the next few days its
annual report will be made public.

WHITTAKER'S new PLAN
HE WOULD HAVE SCHOOLBOOKS
PRINTED IN PRISON.
Thinks Ii Would Make Money for the
State and Would Cheaper the
Price os school Supplies.
special to the indianapolis Journal.

Special TO the indianapolis Journal.
JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind, Oct. 13-
Supt. w. II. Whitaker, of the Indiana
Reformatory. has under consideration
plan to convert the institution into one big
print shop. where all the schoolbooks used
in the State of Indiana can be printed.
Mr.. Whitaker hopes that the plan will
prove popular and that enough interest will
be taken i'm it to carry il to realization.
There are now 600 inmates of the institu-
tion, many of whom are employed on con-
tract work, but, under the present law,
when the now existing contracts expire, no
more convicts can be hired to contractors
and the question of finding profitable en-
ployment for these men has caused much
thought.
BY the plan proposed by Mr.. Whitaker
the men Will not only learn a good, prac-
teal trade. but the income from the books
will more than make the institution self
sustaining, thus saving thousands of dol
lars each year for the State. Another
feature of Mr.. Whittakers scheme will be
the reducing of the prices of schoolbooks
so materially that children in all spheres
of life can more easily afford to buy them
thereby bringing about condition of more
general education among the poorer classes
by convict labor, Mr.. Whitaker thinks,
could be reduced that schoolbooks
could be sold at about half the price they
cost now
Ii is estimated that il would cost in
the neighborhood OF $4,000 to install a
plant to do this work. 1t is believed that
if the plan is carried out ii would not only
be successful financially but would be a
solution OF the convict employment prob
lem, which is difficult one 10 handle as
ii is absolutely necessary in an institution
of this kind TO furnish some employment
for the inmates.

INDUCING IMMIGRANTS
TO COME TO DELAWARE
State Board of Agriculture
Sending Out $4,000 Maps
and Information

Delaware is making a special effort
to attract honest and Industrious ferm-
ers to the state. The latest idea Of the
state Board of Agriculture and Bureau
Of immigration is that OF printing H.
600 copies Of the map Of the State, de-
nning the smallest towns and hamlets
and distributing them throughout the
country and abroad where they will
do the most good.
Upon the margin OF the maps is
printed information about the state
that shows at a glance its principal
features regarding climate, production
and quality Of soil. Almost any ques-
tion regarding the State can be an
swered by consulting this margin his
tory OF Delaware.
Two thousand of the copies were
printed in German and they have al
ready been sent abroad among the
thrifty Germans who make such good
citizens.
There has been many German elni-
grants that have settled in Delaware
during the past few years, and it is
their thrift and honesty that has caus-
Cd special effort to induce others of
the same nationality to come here.
The map is one Of the most complete
that has ever been published in Della
ware.
