THE BURIAL OF STEEL
PECULIAR FUNERAL EXERCISES
 IN PENNSYLVANIA.
FOrty-tOn IngOt, which Had Complete ly Absorbed Two Human Be- ings, is Inferred with Re-
 ligiOus Ceremony

Philadelphia, Pa, Nov. 19-A funer- al without a parallel in this city took place to-day at the Midvale Steel Works where a forty-ton ingot of steel permeated with the flesh. blood and bones of tive workmen, was buried with the solemn rites of the Roman Catholic Church.
 The workmen who were so strange Iy laid away were John Forkin and Jo- seph Gazda. two foreign speaking la borers, who met a horrible death a week ago. They were in a pit near a cupola containing many tons of mol ten steel. A plug gave way and S0.- 900 pounds of the fiery fluid poured from the cupola and overwhelmed them The men were completely incin- erated and not trace of them or their clothing was left. The Midvalo Steel Company was adverse to selling the steel or using 1t for the purpose for which it was intended and decided to bury it with the rites of the church to which the unfortunate men had be- longed Accordingly the forty ton ingot, oval in shape, 2S feet long, six feet wide and five feet thick was nov ed last week by a travelling crane to the rear of the machine shops where a grave ten feet deep had been made.
 A great crowd sought admission to the works to-day, but only the two sisters of Gazda, who depended upon him for support, and about one hun dred workmen who were on Sunday duty were permitted to attend the ser vices along with the officials of the company. Among, the officials was President Charles Harra. All heads were barred and flagk were lowered to half mast. while two priests conduct ed the services. The great ingot was covered with earth and the funeral party dispersed. The grave of the men will be appropriately marked by the company.

Railroad "ReguIationn or Ownershil

Macon Telegraph.
 It costs one cent to transport a pair of shoes from New York to Chicago. If 1t cost nothing would the retail price of a pair of New York made shoes be any lower in Chicago?
 The illustration Is apropos to the suggestion that we have repeatedly made to some of our overloaded con temporaries on the rate question that the level of freight rates in America is such that retail prices to the consum- CTS in Macon, Savannah, Atlanta, Chi cago, New York and throughout the country is practically on a level, and the level of freight rates has been re- duced one-third in recent years. The American level of. rates is from 50 to 200 per cent. lower than in foreign countries.
 Where Irregularities exist they should be corrected. and this process has been going on rapidly for some years. We cannot for the life of us see the necessity for upturning our whole system of Government for the sake of responding to cry against our great our business life and existence. They, of course should be kept healthy and clean; that is, regulated with just re- gard for the general body polite, but their operation should not be recklessly clogged, or their good work for man kind impaired by the supposed eXigen- cies of political strife and preferment of persons.
 In LniS dS we nave SdlQ, where railroads make their own rates, bota freight and passenger rates are lower than in any other country. And 1t Is a significant fact that the nearest approach to the American rates are found in Great Britain, where the rail- roads make their own rates.
 It seems to us that it is plain busi- ness question which need not be dragged into politics. Objection has been urged that the railroads are in politics. The way to get them in poli- tics ana keep them in politics Is to set a Government commission over them to control their. sources of revenue Then they will be In politics for all time. or as long as the commission stays in existe nee, or until the Govern ment makes the next step and takes over tho ownership of the railroads And we are heading that way now, whether or not we go to that length ultimately.
 The logical snd of the present agi- tation is raiiiead ownership by the Government as much as the President may protest his proposition to the ex- treme str-

There is no outlet to the courtway except through the places mentioned, and they were tightly locked. In falling the man severely sprained his back and arms and could not move himself.
 Today he evidently recovered himself and began calling for help. He called for several hours when Officer Veitch. on First Avenue, heard the faint cries of Help, Help" The blue coat began an investigation and located the man.
 The fire department was requested to give the use of ladders and hooks with which to rescue the man. A partition was knocked down and the man was picked up and taken to hospital in an ambulance. He is not seriously hurt. He could not account for the fall, but if his cries for help had not been heard he might have remained in the courtway until tomorrow and in the awful rain which fell this after noon and cooler weather tonight, might have died.
