CHARGE DISMISSED.
Coast Line Auditor No Longer Held
 On Perjury Charge.

Atlanta, Ga, February 28-The charge of perjury against w. D. McCaig, trav cling auditor of the Atlantic Coast Line railway. was dismissed in the superior court here today. This charge was brought against MT. McCaig several weeks since by Mrs. J. N Strothar wife of the Allan tie Coast Line representative at Gaines vile Fla. who was arrested in Canada early in the winter, charged with em- bezzlement of nearly s2o,o0O of railroad money. He was returned to the United States and in Atlanta was held for trial.
 Tn perfecting bond for appearance he deposited with a local bank $5OO0 In cash as security for a bond of like amount which was made by the cashier of the bank. Mir McCaig made affidavit that the money was the property of the railroad company and made claim for it. On this affidavit Mrs. Strothar charged perjury against MT McCag, which charge was dismissed today. The actual title to the money will be authoritatively fixed before A special rHsree of the court at later date.

HILL SELLS ORE
 ID CORPORATION
Gigantic Deal in Mesaba About
 to be ConSummated
TERMS ARE AGREED UPON
Deal Involves Iron Ore Amounting to as Great a Tonnage as Total of Superior Ore Mined for
 Fifty Years.

Cleveland, February 2S--It is stated that A deal involving iron ore amounting to as great a tonnage as all the ore mined in the Lake Superior ranges during the more than fifty years of their operation, a deal by which the immensely valuable ore properties of James J. Hill on the Mesaba range are to pass into the con trol of the United States Steel corpora tion for a period of thirty years Is about to be consummated. A special from Du- luth to the Iron Trade Review says
 "Although no official announcement has been made your correspondent is informed on authority reliable beyond a question, that all the principal terms have been agreed upon and the contract drawn. IL is estimated that the Hill interests have ore deposits amounting to 9OO,0OO,OOO tons which delivered at Lake Erie ports would be worth $1 125, 600 000. The terms of the contract provide that the steel corpora ton shall take a lease on these prop critics for thirty years and shall pay for the first two years 70 cents per ton for the ore mined, and 80 cents for the car rying of the ore from the mines to Duluth on Mr. Hills Great Northern railroad.
 eIt is further provided that after two years the price for ore in the ground shall be increased cents every two years until at the end of twelve years the price shall be $l and stay at that figure for the remaining eighteen years of the period Another important provision is that the Great Northern railroad shall be guaranteed freight amounting to $l0,- OOO0OO annually during the life of the lease If mines other than those in the deal furnish the amount, the steel cor poration will not be required to furnish any, built must supply whatever is lack ing of the stipulated tonnage.

.P|G IRON DULL ID
 POINT OF DEADLOCK
Some Consumers Believe Top
 Has Been Reached
CONSUMPTION ENORMOUS
Shipments of Finished Material From Steel Works and Rolling Mills Is Unparalleled In History
 of the Industry.

New York, February 2S.-The Iron Age tomorrow will say:
 Pig iron is dull so far as new buying is concerned in nearly all markets and almost q deadlock between buyers and sellers prevails. It is accompanied by the indications of weakness which are created by a small minority of uneasy sellers. Some consumers believe that the top has been reached and are withholding orders. Thus in the west some lettings of con tracts for cast iron pipe for municipalities have been postponed.
 Current consumption is enormous and in spite of the record-breaking outputs, stocks are still shrinking in quantity. Shipments of finished material from the steel works and rollings mills are un- paralleled in the history of the industry. The United States Steel corporation dur ing February from the first to the 17th, gross tons. Of wire products alone the shipments during this period footed up 76,OOO tons.
 The outlook for the structural mills continues brilliant with large amounts of business in sight. It is estimated that builders and contractors in the metropo- itan district alone will place before May q total of 200,00O tons of shapes, and that there may be added to this 30O0OO tons more before the summer is over This includes the Manhattan bridge, with from 35.000 to 40,000 tons, and the Hudson river tunnel terminal with about 30.00O tons During February the American Bridge company closed for G)000 tons The Pennsylvania railroad Is understood to be in the market for 25,000 tons of rails, in addition to it's former purchases. The Frisco system has placed II, ,0O0 tons. It is not true that there has been a final rupture of the negotiations between the Hill interests and the United States Steel corporation for the control of the ore lands of the former. The matter is in abeyance at the present time. and will be resumed later on.
 The demand for rolled products from foreign markets continues active and in the case of Canada considerable business has been put through. Negotiations are pending for a large amount of material for that country.

Cause of Discrepancy.

The apparent decreases in Birmingham are due to the fact that many manufae- turing companies failed to return reports to the census bureau, as requested.
 It is a matter of common knowledge that there has been a large increase in the number of industries in Birmingham within the last five years. It is known that the number of wage-earners in- creases every year and that the payrolls are larger by hundreds of thousands of dollars month than they were five years ago.

Cleveland O., February 2S.-(Special)- The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say:
 News of the past few days concerning the threatened coal strike, although some what conflicting, has given much reason for hoping that there will be no cessa- ton of mining In either the anthracite or bituminous region while the active interest of the President of the United States and other powerful influences will undoubtedly be regretted by some who have believed that no concessions should be made the miners. the overwhelming sentiment of the country will heartily endorse the forts which have been made to prevent industrial war

JUST ONE AMENDMENT.

There is to be but one constitu-
tional amendment for this year. and
that is the amendment proposed by
Senator Taylor. and provided for in
senate bill No. SO. The amendment
provides for the Introduction of vot-
ing machines in any city, county or
town in the, state of Colorado when
the governing body of such county.
or city shall decide to adopt and pur-
chase these machines.
The provisions of the amendment.
which will be submitted to the gener-
al election in November, are that
when the governing body of any city.
city and county, or town shall adopt
and purchase voting machine, or
voting machines. the same may be
paid for by the Issuance of interest
bearing bonds. certificates of indeb-
tedness of other obligations which
shall be a charge upon such city, city
and county or town. made payable
within ten years from the date of Is
suance.
Not much attention has been paid
to this amendment, which is very
important departure from the present
method of voting. There is nothing
obligatory on any county. city or town
to purchase the machines and the
amendment is principally directed
toward making the use of voting ma
chimes possible in the leading cities
of the state, like Denver. Pueblo and
Colorado Springs.
Voting machines have been In use
in several eastern cities. where they
are reported to have worked satisfhc--
factorily. with them it is possible
to announce the result of the election
within a few minutes after the polls
close. and in addition IT is said that
no mistakes can be made in the
count.
Under the proposed amendment no
change is made In the present system
of voting, unless ordered by the gov
erning board of the city. town or
county.
