PIG IRON PRICES
 WELL MAINTAINED
DEMAND FOR STEEL MAKING IRON SHOWS MARKED IMPROVE MENT IN THE PlTTSBURG DIS TRICT AT PRESENT.

Cleveland, O., october 16,-The Iron Trade Review will say;
 The pig iron market at present is like some football teams, they are very strong on tn defensive but seldom score; that is prices are being remarkably well main tained in spite of the efforts of the buy CTS to obtain concessions.
 Some business men are not enjoying the full measure of the present conditions because of fear of the future. Consid- erable complaint is made about slow collections, but there is little evidence of distress. The demand for steel mak- ing iron in the Pittsburg district shows marked improvement and sales of about 1000 tons of basic on basis of sl9.75 Val ley furnace, have been made, while in- quiries are pending for some 10000 tons of Bessemer and an independent interest which has been making foundry irons has sold round tonnage of Bessemer, which it will begin making November 1.
 Foundry irons are exceedingly dull, but recent sales in the east at low prices have not had demoralizing effect and in that section price cuttinS seems to be- about ended In the central west prices are well maintained but 1t is difficult to say what quotations would reign If important inquiries were to appear

UNIFORM BILL OF LADlNG.
Chairman Knapp Announces That Ar.
 guments May Be Filed.

Washington, October 16.-After a day and a half given over to the shipping. the banking and the railroad interests of the country to present their views as to what, in their opinion, would be the most sats- factory and just form of bill of lading to be put in operation on all the railroads of the United States on January next by the interstate commerce commission, the hearing was adjourned at noon today Voluminous testimony from the stand point of each interest affected covering every phase of the subject was taken, and the function now will devote upon this question to frame bill of lading in which will be endeavored to harmonize all the conflicting interests.
 This, it was pointed out will be a great undertaking, as each interest is de- srous of securing a measure which ac- cording to their viewpoint will be the most consistent with justness and fair ness. Commissioner Prouty indicated that the proposed uniform bill of lading was drawn by committee composed of the shippers and railroads, and which it was proposed to be put in effect at the be- ginning of the new year, will not be adopted in it's present form, but that by changes, notifications, etc, a measure should be evolved which 1t is thought will be satisfactory.
 Chairman Knapp announced that the commission now would take the matter under consideration, but that all parties interested might, before the case is de- cided, render recommendation in writing, propose new bills ol ladings and file argu- ments.

MYSTERY ATTENDS
 SEISMIC RECORDS
INSTRUMENTS SHOW THAT A VIOLENT DISTURBANCE HAS TAKEN PLACE, BUT IT CANNOT BE TRACED.

Albany, N. Y., October 16.-The occur renee of an earthquake of unusual pro- portions was indicated by the seismo- graph at the State museum, which regis tered it's passage during the early hours of today The record shows that the dis turbance originated at distance of about 5000 miles from Albany, and the vibration of one of the instruments were so violent as to exceed it's limit for registering.
 According to a bulletin issued by State Geologist Clark. the center of the dis turbance would seem to have been some where to the south or southwest. The bull letin says: "The only disturbance conl- parable in violence that has been recorded this year is the earthquake of April l. which was so destructively felt in Mex ico. The present one may very well make a continuation of the movements that have been under way for some time in the Cordllleran and Caribbean zones, to which may be traced also the earthquakes of San Francisco, Valparaiso and Ja- maica.'

FRIENDLY TOWARD MILITIA. General Gardiner of Louisiana Says Armour & Go. UnjustIy Charged.

New Orleans, October 15-(Special.) J. The Times-Denfocrat says: In order to fully Investigate the charge that Armour & Go. had dispensed with the services of one of their employees co do military duty in Hahnville some two months ago, S. s. Jerome, general superintendent of the Ar mour branches with headquarters in Chi cago, Is in New Orleans on his third special~trip made for that purpose. On his two previous visits MT. Jerome found that Gen. W. D. Gardiner commander of the First Brigade, Louisiana State Ma tional Guard, on whose solicitation he un- dertook the investigation, had been called out of the city. General Gardiner wrote to MT. Jerome at the time of the occur renee, and quick to respond, MT. Jerome came to New Orleans in person within 4S hours after his receipt of the letter.
 After carefully looking into the merits of the case, with the assistance of w. c. Douglass, local manager, it was found that at the time of the discharge of the young man a letter was given the em- ploye giving the reason for his discharge. This letter was given by an employe who was in no way authorized to do so. Gen eral Gardiner found, furthermore, that the Armour company now has in it's em- ploy here several men who are members of the militia, and that the company is very kindly disposed toward the national guard
 General Gardiner gave out the following statement yesterday afternoon:
 Whereas several articles have been written refiecting upon Armour x Co. as being antagonistic to the national guard or the state militia, I desire to say that l have examined into their position thor oughly, and that after the fullest and most careful Investigation am satisfied that they are not antagonistic, and an in- justice has been done them.
 q find they have many employees who are members of the militia in the various states, and I write this letter in order to place Armour & Go. In the right light before the general public

 IN OLD KENTOGKY Both Sides Are Confident of
 Winning Election DEMOCRATS RESTING EASY Big Vote Will Be PoIled According To the Present Outlook and Repub-
 icans Take Heart Over
 This Feature.
DEMOCRATS RESTING EASY

Louisville Ky, October 16.-(SpeciaL)- With the state election less than three weeks off, the leaders of the rival par ties in Kentucky claim to be in a posi- ton to forecast the result and the claims of both sides have been made public. The chairman of the republican state campaign committee declares that Au- gustus E. Wilson, the republican nom inee. will poll more votes than any man, democrat or republican. ever boiled in Kentucky. He bases this claim upon the largely increased registration. The largest vote ever received by any candi- date in Kentucky was given Governor Beckham, the total being 20,273. The largest vote ever polled by a republi- can was given John w. Yerkes, who re. ceived total of 226273, or 1000 less than Beckham in 1900. The increased registra- ton indicates a heavier vote than in 1g00 but the democrats laugh at the claims of the republicans that they will receive the bulk of this increase.
 The state chairman of the democratic party claims that the democratic ma jority in the state will be 26,150, and he gives the figures by districts. He comedies the Eleventh district to the re- publicans by 13,000, puts the Fifth dis trict in the doubtful column, and claims the remaining nine districts by majori- ties ranging from TOO to 12OOO. In giving his reasons for believing that the state will go democratic Chairman Henry B, Hines says:
 "The splendid administration of the states aaffirs by the democrats, the wiping out O. the state S debt, the build ing of the new capitol. a longer school term and the improvement at the charit- able institutions without an increase in ta ac pamnarn1 with the nTeVOUS republican administration, which ended in debt and a carnival of crime, riot and assassination, These things will retain the democrats in power" z J.

YOUNG DOCTORS
 ARE LICENSED Larger Percentage Than Ever Pass Examinations
NEW BANK OPENS DOORS
Railroad Case Involving Sums Due On Privileges Has Occupied Time of Supreme Court-New Road
 Will Get Right of Way.

Jackson, Miss, October 16.-(Special.) = The state board of health, after wrestling with the examinations of IA applicants for licenses to practice medicine in the state of Mississippi, have turned loose ST young doctors on the community Twen- ty-seyen of the applicants failed to make the required showing, and will have to come/ again. The percentage of those passing is larger than ever before known but that Is accounted for by the fact that a great many of the applicants this time were of the number who failed to secure the coveted license at the spring examina- tions and this is their second or third ef- fort. While the great majority are from Mississippi several are from neighboring states and as far off as Washington, D. C. Among those passing is one negro
 Today the State Bank and Trust com pany, the latest financial concern to or- lganze in Jackson, threw open it's doors for business in temporary quarters in the Edwards House building, but will begin at once the erection of a handsome home of it's own in that vicinity. This bank has capital of $100OO0, all paid in. and the of ficiers elected yesterday are as follows: T. B. Gaddis of Morton, preside9 s. j.. Shook of Jackson, active vice president; w. D. MeRaven, Newton, cashier; board of directors, T. B. Gaddis, John L. Cad dis, w. D. McRaven, s. J. Shook, Edgar s. Wilson, Garner W. Green, w c. War ren, W. c. Wells Jr, J. R. Dowdle, Frank Fox, George c. McLaurin.
 The case of the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley railroad vs Wirt Adams, state revenue agent, has been occupying the time of the supreme court two days. The revenue agent made a claim against the railroad company for additional sums on account Of privileges due and unpaid, and won the cases in the court below. The railroad appeals claiming that it's char ter gives it rights the revenue agent is ignoring.
 The committees of business men ap- pointed last week to bring about set clement of the difficulties between prop erty owners and the New Orleans and Great Northern Railroad company, which is trying to build into Jackson, have been diligently at work and 1t is believed that a settlement is going to be made that will secure the road to the eastern side of the city.

He goes out again and never returns His
 becomes a dormant account A friendless
 miser dies and leaves bank book to show that he has money deposited. His
 becomes a dormant account. A wife puts
 aside little of her spending money by
 self-denial, thinking sometimes to sur prise her husband. She dies and her pass-book is never found She thus ere ates dormant account. Akin to this is the failure to claim dividends Dividends on share of stock in the Chemical Ma tional bank of New York, standing in the name of woman, have been unclaimed since 1925, and 142 dividends await her. Probably she is afraid the presentation of her claim will reveal her age.
 Banking Is every day being made an easier task. The advent of the adding machine, the coin counting machine, and the machine for writing collection let ters has simplihed the operations of a bank to a remarkable degree. In the adding machine the hardest task of the banking room has been made an easy one. The holder of the record for speed on an adding machine is William A. Stuart of Oakland, Gala. who recently handled 150 checks on it in two minutes and 29 seconds. The coin" counting ma chine takes the pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters and half-dollars and counts them out ana wraps them up, giving the total when the job is done. A machine was formerly required for each denomination. Now one machine does for all. The, collection letter writing machine writes the letter, adds the collections contained in each and foots up the totals. The Bank of England, the richest in the world, having a capital of $70OOO,0O0, has not one of these things. If you write a let ter to it you will get an answer written out by hand. Some employees have been there more than 40 years, and have large bumps on their forefingers from con stant use of the pen.
 In the banking world one again gets reminder that there is nothing new under the sun. China issued bank notes 2S97 years before the Christian era. And I they are not unlike those used today in essential details. They were written in blue ink on paper made from, the fibre of the mulberry tree They carried the valuable advice to Produce all you can and spend with economy" The Chinese merchants of San Francisco are prepar- ing to establish a million dollar bank to be owned and operated by themselves.

We do not sell whisky
 Nor other "sideboard essentials"

back to the bank, things are unlocked
 and the deposits checked up.
 Forgeries and raised checks sometimes catch the banks mapping. Some time ago the Bath Electric company gave check for $100 In writing the amount in, a space was left before the word ''one'' and in making the figures they were not written as close up to the dollar mark as they should have been. A check raiser got hold of the check, inserted the word eighty before the "one,' and the figure '8' between the dollar mark and the other figures, and he had a check for sS100 on which he got the money. In this case the bank fared bet ter than they often do, the courts hold ing that it was due to the gross care lessness of the drawer that f could be raised, and the drawer had to stand the loss.
 The larger banks of the country prac- tice the most rigid economy. In fact, if some of the ordinary citizens of this town were to practice such economy they would be called stingy and mean. and charged with counting the cost of a postage stamp. But that is just what many a bank does. ThefFirst National of Chicago, worth millions of dollars, never mails its letters for the day until the close Of business. Then 1t has them gone over, and where there is more than one communication to one correspondents they all go in the same envelope. A 2-cent stamp is thus always made to do it's full duty. This looks like a small economy, but on a days business it foots up from $25 to $50 in that bank. But banks spend money lavlshly for homes. There is marked tendency to have palatial one-story building costing hun dreds of thousands of dollars. The Amer ican Trust company building in Washing ton and the Knickerbocker building in New York are shining examples of this latter day architecture. The Bank of England is housed in large one-story, triangular building, with not a window, but sky lights.
 The dormant" account is one of the
 interesting things in the banking bus- ness. It Is estimated that there is more than s3.OO0,000 in such accounts in the banks of New York alone. The accounts are carried forward from year to year, and where interest is paid this has to be compounded every year, though the deposits may never be claimed. A sailor puts into port and deposits his wages.

New York, October 16-Inquiry among all of the cable companies today failed to disclose any interruption of communi- cation in the two Americas The officials of the companies said that none of their offices or those of their connecting lines to the south has reported any earthquake disturbance As the field thus covered embraces all of the West Indies, all of Central America and both coasts of South America, it is evident that the quake re- corded from the various seismographs to- sday did not occur at any largely popu- lated region on the western hemisphere It probably was an under-ocean disturb ance,

The killing was discov- cred a short time after by a party of American mining men, who were travelling over the trail with an escort of Mexican soldiers.
