10000 Bad Tubes Reported
Sold From Plant of
u. S. Steel.
STEEL MEN INDICTED
Boilers Unsound in Ship Carrying
President South-FcdrraI Grand
Jury Finds That Seven Bnttleships
and Two Cruisers Are Using Tubes
That Are Defective.

Pittsburg, Pa, Nov. 15.-The Fed
eral Grand Jury has indicted Frank
L. Emmett, James Joy Dunn and
Charles l.. Close, employees of the
Shelby Steel Tube Company. a subsi-
diary of the United States Steel Cor
poration. They are charged with con-
spiracy to defraud the United States
by passing defective boiler tubes
from the Shelby plant.
Some of these tubes, according to
the Grand Jury, are in use on the
battleship Louisiana, on which Presi-
dent Roosevelt is now being carried
to Panama.
An affidavit by Emmett drew at
tention to the alleged conspiracy.
Dunn was superintendent of the
Greenville plant of the company.
where the defective tubes were made,
and Close was assistant superintend-
ent. Emmett, at the time, was a
foreman.
The investigation lasted three
days. A secret recommendation was
made to United States District Court
Judge Nathaniel Ewing, that certain
persons be indicted, and a week la
ter the indictments were returned.
According to the indictments seven
battleships and two armored cruis-
ers of the navy are fitted out with
defective boiler tubes. The battle
ships are the Nebraska, Maryland,
Vermont, Louisiana, Minnesota,
Washington and Tennessee. The
cruisers are the Charleston AMI
Pennsylvania. 1t is estimated that
fully 10000 defective seamless steel
boiler tubes were furnished to the
Government, at an estimated cost cf
considerably more than 100000.
The date of the conspiracy men,
toned is December II, 1903, though
it is alleged it began in 1902 and
continued at intervals until January
/, 1905.
Testimony tended to show that
tubes rejected by Government inspec-
tors on account of surface flaws were
returned to the finishing department
tubes, after which they were passed
by the inspectors and shipped.
Condemned tubes we're also Slip
ped back into cars for shipment with
out the knowledge of the Govern
ment inspector, and the indictment
says that almost every subterfuge
that an ingenious brain could plan
was resorted to.
Each shipment forms a count in
the Indictment and there are thirty
counts. Mention is made of persons
unknown to the Grand Jury, who
conspired with the three men indict-
ed, and it is possible that when the
case comes to trial they will be ar
rested.

place in Eagle Rock Way. Montclair

thy flour exporter of No. 5S william
Street, New York, was found Satlr-
day.
Bruises covered his body AID his
legs were lacerated. evidently by the
horns and hoofs of the animals,
which had been very tame and great
pets of their owner though they Of
ten terrified other residents of the
country side by escaping from the
park on Mrs. Bradley's place.
Returning at noon from a three
weeks trip in the West. Mr. Brad
ley had luncheon and, changing his
attire to the rough suit in which he
Ioamed his estate, went out to look
over his property and to visit his
deer park, the inmates of which had
been for years his special pets. There
are fifteen of the deer, all of the or
dinary Virginia variety.
When Mr. Bradley did not return
to his residence at six o'clock, the
dinner hour, Thomas Fahey, his
coachman, was sent by Mrs Bradley
to search for her husband. but in
this Fahey was unsuccessful. His re-
port alarmed the household. and all
the servants as we'll as some of the
neighbors, who We're notified, began
a careful scrutiny of every foot of
the Bradley estate.
This was soon ended by the dis
coyery of the body of Mr. Bradley in
the most remote and widest corner
Of his little preserve. He was dead,
but DR.. Philip E. Kirchbaum was
summoned and could only confirm
the fact. He found that every one Of
the bruises and cuts on Mr. Bradlc !, S
body was below the waist, and the
character of the wounds on the logs
and the tears of the trousers in IL
Gated that some such implement as
a deer's horns had made them.
Death was due to rupture of ab-

Paris. France, Nov 15.-Those

the end of forty metres or so, though
not to a standstill. The motor con-
tinued to turn, and again the soar
Ing movement commenced.
This time all records were beaten.
In seven and one-fifth seconds $3.50
metres was covered, and the enthu-
siasm was general. Night was now
closing in, and a final attempt was
agreed upon. This time 1t was de-
clded to proceed in the opposite di-
rection, against whatever wind was
blowing.
The vast crowd formed into two
long lanes down the center of the
field. There was a general hush as
the motor began to turn, and then
shout of satisfaction as 1t was in

bounded off like flash, and within

SCARCITY OF LABOR.
Also the Lack of Rolling Stock Is a
Menace to the Great Markets.

hCh0NC w VIZ NNNS A'AN'- ~~N~N''
New York, Nov. 15.-Trade is
hampered and curtailed, according
to trade agencies, by physical inabil-
ity to cope with the great demand.
Labor, scarcity of cars and traffic
delays are the curtailing factors. In
their review for the week r. G.
Dunn & Co. say
Business experienced the custo-
mary interruption during election
week, but a more permanent retard-
ing influence was the inadequate sup
ply of freight cars and labor. Many
industries are severely handicapped
by traffic delays, raw materials and
fuel coming to the factories in a
most unsatisfactory manner In other
cases there is idle machinery because
hands cannot be secured, despite the
high wages offered. This difficulty
threatens to reduce the lumber cut
materially. Several strikes are
threatened, and one railway system
alone has advanced wages to the ex-
tent of $1,OOO,OOO monthly. Retail
trade is well maintained by lower
temnerature in some sections of the
country and the full employment OF
labor at all points, while wholesale
business in holiday goods is very
heavy.
Manufacturing returns show I'M
equalled prosperity in the iron and
steel industry, footwear factories are
busy on spring lines and textile mills
are well employed, though the de-
cline in raw material has temporarily
checked purchases in primary mar
