CONFESSES TO THE
 DOUBLE TRAGEDY
VIM. F. CHURCH SAYS HE WENT TO THEIR ROOM AND CUT THE THRoATs OF HIS BENEFAcToRS WHILE THEY SLEPT.

St. Louis, April 1.-William E. Church, who was arrested in Philadelphia, brought here to answer the charge Of having murdered MT. and Mrs. Henry w. Yeater, his benefactors, of Warren ton. Mo-, last August, confessed to the police today that he committed the double crime just because he felt impelled to.
 ''I just went up to their room and cut their throats with my razor while they were asleep" he said. He calmly related the details and told how he escaped from the county. Tt don't keep me awake nights" he continued. Now and then l wish l had not done it. I'll take what get without asking for any mercy"
 The couple had adopted him when he was a baby and raised him. He told the police he thought the Yeaters had made will leaving the property to a stepson and this so incensed him that he decided to do the killing.

EASTERN BUSINESS '.
 SHOWS UP BETTER
Iron and Steel Manufacture is
 Gaining Ground
CARS ARE VERY SCARCE
Pig Iron is in Better Demand and Quo- tations for Bessemer Have Ad- vanced SllghtIy-6rad-
 streets Review.

New York, April 1-R. G. Dun & Co.'S say:
 Much deferred eastern business was transacted during the last few days, and some sections report satisfactory results. but at many points the weather is not yet normal, and on the whole the sea- sons trade thus far compares unfavora- bly with last years volume.
 Manufacturing returns continue con- ficting. Iron and steel plants gaining ground. footwear exhibiting the natural reaction from an unprecedented produc- ton in 1903 while textile mills have much idle machinery and little forward business to encourage operation. Lumber and building materials are in better demand, although floods at the west and labor troubles at the east retarded structural work to some extent. At Baltimore the general situation is satisfactory despite the fact that rebuilding of the devastated district is hampered by efforts to secure legislative enactments regarding the re- arrangements of streets. Transportation is still interrupted by scarcity of cars. al- though in the coke region there Is less congestion and railway earnings thus far reported for March are about 12 per cent smaller than last year. Agricultural prospects are unchanged, peter weather conditions at some points being offset by less favorable news from other regions, and the price situation is extremely IT, regular.
 Further In ri oh Atrnafinrl is reported in the iron and steel industry. Pig iron is in better demand, quotations for Bessemer advancing slightly and the outlook for sufficient supplies of coke has improved owing to the less traffic congestion and more prompt transporta- ton from the ovens to the furnaces The most disturbing factor at present is the attitude of tin plate workers, those who have been idle apparently favoring the acceptance of the proposed wage reduc- rtion, while others recently employed are favoring resistance. Large contracts for castings and pipe are under considera- tion and work on the Pennsylvania tun- nel will do much to restore normal condi- tions at the many plants.
 Agricultural needs are expected to be very heavy. Increased activity and some what firmer quotations in western hide markets resulted from more interest on the part of the tanners. On the other hand leather Is dull and neglected Whole sale trade fin boots and shoes has ex- banded. Better weather stimulates re- tail distribution and inspires confidence in the future. Sellers of cotton have counted on liberal supplementary busi- ness owing to small initial purchases, but thus far buyers have been able to con- fine operations within narrow limits. In so far as any change is perceptible In the market the tone is slightly weaker and little forward business is reported. Trade in woolens continues dull.
 Commercial failures this week in the United States are POS against 226 last week. In Canada they number 16 against 15

Mobile, Jackson and Kansas City RalI. road Company-"The New Wav"

The undeveloped resources along the Mobile, Jackson and Kansas City rail- road are perhaps superior to those of any other railroad in the south; the timber is practically inexhaustibe consisting of the highest grades of long yellow leaf pine, short leaf pine and variety of hardwoods The line also traverses one of the finest farming and agricultural sec- tions to be found in the south. Cores pondence is solicited from those contem- plating the location of any kind of a man. ufacturing enterprise or who may be nrospecting for a superior field for the purpose of tilling the soil. In addition to the merits of this section for the products of the soil which are staple, we would call especial attention to the peculiar ad- yantages which obtain In favor of fruit and vegetable raising, splendid traDspor- tation facilities to the best markets at reasonable cost.
