Iron and steel Export. Increase.

Washington.-Iron and steel exports
from the United States in the fiscal
year which ends on June 30th will ag-
gregate approximately SIZE, 900 900 in
value, against $57, 900 a decade ago
and $16,0O0,00O two decades earlier.
Figures isued by the Bureau of Sta
tistics of the Department of Commerce
and labor show the value of iron and
steel manufactures exported in the ten
months ending with April, 1907. at
about $150,000,000, and the figures
seem to justify the estimate of $175,-
100000. speaking in round terms. as
the value of iron and steel exports
for the fiscal year 1907.
Cotton manufacturers were a close
second to iron and steel during cou-
pie OF decades ago. but now stand
fourth in the list of great groups of
manufactures exported, copper ranking
ing second, wool manufactures third,
and cotton manufactures fourth. For
the nine months of the fiscal year 1907
for which figures are now available,
manufactures of iron and steel ex-
ported aggregated $132,000,0O0, copper
s70000,000. manufactures $56.000, 900
and cotton manufactures $25,500, 900.
The high grade manufactures of iron
and steel exported from the United
States are accepted in every part of
the world.

Burglars Steal Piano.

DeEver.-Burglars entered the resi-
dence Of W. H. Buck, 1888 Justina
street, while the owner was away and
stole the only piano he had. So softly
did they work that none Of the neigh
bors were Jared from the arms Of Nor
pheus, and SO cleverly that not
even moving van or hoisting der
rick was left behind to afford detec-
tives a clew.
Policeman Bosworth, copper on the
beat, came under the stern eye Of the
department when the daring theft was
reported. He was assigned to the case
with Instructions to keep an eye on
houses and vacant lots and prevent the
removal Of any from the district pa.
troled by him. The policeman
sleuthed until nearly midnight and
then telephoned in that the mystery
was deeper than ever.
According to theories advanced by
other detectives, the burglars must
have been musical in their tastes. The
next step will be to locate musical bur-
glars.
Neighbors, wrapped in profound and
impenetrable sleep, did not hear the
burglars while they were skidding the
1,5O0-pound piano out of the house and
loading it on dray. The tracks of
the dray also became lost in other
tracks on the street and the neighbor-
hood is confused.
The burglars jimmied their way into
the residence of Buck and ignored his
locks.

Denver Mint Being Investigated.

Washington. According to the
rough draft OF the report made by the
commission appointed by the President
to Investigate the Denver mint, a con-
dition has been found which may re-
suit in the removal OF one or more
prominent heads from the Colorado in.
stitution. The coinage department,
which is under the direction OF Harry
Tarbell, is said to have shown a lack
OF thoroughness, and several times
coins have been found to be much
heavier or lighter than the law pre-
scribes.
On whose shoulders the blame will
finally rest remains to be seen, but 1t
is reported that the coinage depart
ment is responsible for these discrep-
ancies and that removals will be made
soon.
Director OF the Mint Roberts refuses
to discuss the report until after the
secretary of the treasury has been seen
and is ready to make his recommenda-
tions.
The Denver mint has been investi-
gated thoroughly in all its branches.
While, technically. only one issue of
coins was found to be off in weight. the
commission did not stop It's inquiry
with this one issue, but has looked into
every department.

BEEF MAY JUMP sKYWARD.
Chicago stockmen objec. to Having
"Cow Stuff" Held Up.

Meat prices in Chicago may jump
skyward unless the beef trust recedes
from its recently announced intention
to delay payment on certain OF It's live
stock purchases until they have passed
the government post-mortem examina-
tion.
The packers notified the commission
firms that they would no longer stand
the loss on condemned cattle, and in
order to protect themselves they had
found it necessary to refuse payment
ION cow stuff" until it has passed the
government inspectors.
During the latter part of last week
thousands Of letters and kilograms
were sent out by the commission men
to their customers notifying them OF
the action that had been taken by the
packers and advising them to withhold
all shipments of cattle to the big mar
kets controlled by the trust until the
difficulty is adjusted. This is expected
to cut the meat supply tremendously
before the week is over, and prices are
expected to go up correspondingly.
Commission men declare it Is the in
tention of the packers to enforce the
rule with regard to cow stuff" now in
the hope that similar action may be
taken later with reference to their pur
chase of sheep and hogs.
Sow stuff" is a minor item in pack
ing house business, and commission
men say it is for this reason that the
packers selected 1t as the objective in
their new ruling. Less than two per
cent. of this class of purchases is ccn-
demned as unfit by the government in
spectors and the loss on it would not
mean much to the shippers and pro-
ducers.
The commission men contend,
though that if the packers are allowed
10 refuse payment on this class of live
stock they will extend the ruling later
to all their purchases, and this. COM
mission men declare, practically would
drive most of them out of business and
make the cattle raising business an ex-
tremely Improbable one.
Some of the leading commission
firms and shippers have communicated
with the secretary of agriculture at
Washington with regard to the new ac-
tion on the part of the packers, and as
surances have been given that any at
tempt to delay payments on live stock,
as threatened by the packers, would re-
suit in the withdrawal OF the inspection
service.

FOOD FOR THE eossIPs.
SaIida is "Ail Torn Up" Because a
Man Marries Again.

Salida Colo-In less than year af-
ter he had been widowed by the killing
of his wife at the hands of a jealous
neighbor, Carl Bode, veteran engineer
of the Denver & Rio Grande, has taken
a second bride. She is Miss Line L.
Mills of Livingston, Michigan, the
sweetheart of his boyhood. The we'd
ding occurred at the home of the young
woman, but not even his most intimate
friends were let in on the secret.
The news has caused big sensation
in Salida. Broken-hearted by the
tragedy which wrecked his home in
June of last year, he had remained
quietly at home, apparently mourning
the death of his wife. and when he left
for the East few weeks ago it was
believed that he was merely taking a
much-needed rest
According to information received
here Bode and his bride are enjoying a
honeymoon trip in the East, but will
eventually return to Salida to make
their home. They are expected early
next week.
Mrs. Bode is the daughter of DIR. w.
]. Mills, leading physician of Liv-
ingston and reputed well-todo. The
family is one of the Oldest in that state
and the young woman was a leader in
society circles. She and Bode, it is un-
derstood, were sweethearts before the
railroader even knew his first wife.
When the latter was killed friends say
the courtship was renewed and a we'd
ding was quickly but quietly arranged.

Would Turn Jews Southwest.

New York-Jacob H. Schiff. the
principal speaker at the annual dinner
of the Jewish benevolent society, B'Nai
Birth, talked of turning the Jewish
tide of immigration to the Southwest.
Mr. Schiff said that an unusually
large immigration was coming to this
country. Such an immigration" he
said, "is forced into the North Allan
tic cities. The Jew should be and has
been blessing wherever he goes. We
should take time by the forelock, and
while welcoming the Jew to this coun-
try, we should turn the tide of immi-
grafton from the North Atlantic cities.
There is a great American hinterland
in which there is not ten per cent. of
Jewish population. This great terri
tory should accommodate many of the
Jews now unhappy in our North At
lantic towns.
Lately movement has been
started for this purpose. We can rem
der our country a great service by
turning this immigration in the direc-
ton of Texas. l can see no greater
work than to aid this cause, to make
the immigrant welcome, not in the
crowded towns, but in this region"

Raneher May Have Drowned.

De Beque, Colo.-Joseph Sinclair, pi
oneer recluse of this section, has mys-
teriously disappeared. He was last
seen n week ago and 1t is feared that
he has either ended his own life or
met with q fatal accident.
His absence was not discovered un-
Ill yesterday, and since that time
friends and neighbors have made a
thorough search of his ranch and sur.
rounding country without finding any
trace Of him. His cabin was found
locked and nothing within was disar-
ranged. A pocketbook containing a
small sum was lying on the table.
This fact has caused the authori-
ties to drop the foul play theory, as
he had no enemies. and the only mo-
tive for murder. they say, would be
robbery. Sinclair was seventy years
old.
The officers are endeavoring to trace
the body seen in the Grand river at
Grand Junction several days ago. It
was reported that this might be the
corpse Of Sinclair. but owing to the
fact that the body was first seen as far
up as Newcastle little faith is placed

QUESTION on the question of rebates.
Some months ago it was announced
that Earl NJ. Cranston, United States
district attorney, had been commits
stoned special prosecutor by the gov
ernment to probe the charges of rebat-
ing made against the smelter trust. Mr..
Cranston refused to make any state
ment on the question at the time, nor
has he admitted since that he had re-
ceived such commission. Neverthe-
less the Department of Justice sud-
denly concentrated all of it's attention
on Denver and gradually the city has
been filling up with special agents.
First came Judge Marsden c. Burch
and Oliver Paden, representing the De-
partment of Justice. Then came a
squad of secret service men, whose
numbers gradually swelled.
l.. c. Wheeler, in the service of the
Department of Justice at Washington,
is in charge of the secret service men.
He has been engaged in the work at
Washington for years. and meritorious
service in many states won him the
honor of being placed at the head OF
the coal and timber land fraud inquiry.
He came to Denver from Omaha,
where he for many months had charge
of the investigation that resulted in
the conviction of Richardson and Com

Nebraska.

Cattle Being Dipped at Denver Yards.

cattle now undergoing the process OF

Ralph Mahon superintendent or the

handled as between 5000 and 5000

which is rash appearing on the hide
of the animal.
The national laws require that all
cattle affected with scabies be sprayed
or dipped before being shipped. Cat
lie not SO affected are exempt from
treatment. The laws of Wyoming and
Dakota have gone further and require
hat all cattle be dipped or sprayed, so
that not a carload of cattle is shipped
into the above states without cer-
lifcate from United States inspector
that they have been dipped or sprayed
within ten days.
The dipping is the more common of
the two processes. The cattle are sub
merged into vat containing a compo-
sition Of soap. oil and water, after
which, II they are free from scabs, they
are allowed to stand from six to ten
hours, and are then shipped to their
destination. II the cattle are affected

The dipping vat and one sprayer
have been in operation for two years.

ness how the crime was committed
