ONE YEARS WORK.
VIM. V. Kelley, President Of the Amer.
ican Steel Foundries Company,
Places Concern on a Strong
Financial Basis.

Chicago.-From a clerk in his ia
ather's hardware store at Greenville,
Ohio, to one of the highest paid men
in the world is the career of William
Nallapdingham Kelley, of Chicago.
Mr.. Kelley, who will receive $340, 900
for years work. is president of the
American Steel Foundries company,
which he has placed on sound and
paying financial basis in the two years
he has occupied the chief executive
office.
In dispatch from New York it was
stated that a contest has been started
in Wall street to compel the directors
of the American Steel Foundries com
pany to pay n dividend on the pre-
ferred stock. 1t was through this CON
test that the amount of Mr.. kelley's
earnings became known.
In going over the financial affairs of
the concern it developed that the COM
pany will make distribution of more
than 100000 in bonuses to four Off
cials. including Mr.. Kelley. whose
bonus will be S32O,OO0, in addition to
''S s"ia's VI S-o.Vov sis pltSlutht.
The other three officials who each
will receive bonus ranging from
$l65, 900 to $4,000 in addition to his
salary for the fiscal year are First
Vice President Robert p. Lamont, Chi
cago; Second Vice President w. w.
Butler. New York and Third Vice
President George +. Scott, Chicago.
The disclosures came as a result OF
the discovery of a contract made two
years ago by the directors of the com.
pany with Mr.. Kelley and his asso.
| ciates when the directors were look.
ing for an active man to take the pres.
idency. Mr.. Kelley formerly was first
vice president.
lt is asserted by those familiar with
the affairs of the concern that Mr.. kel
| ley stepped into the breach when the
| company was in "A bad financial way
and brought II out of "A deficit of $3.50.

According to the Water Commissioners.
the Park Board agreed when the two de-

build the approaches to the bridge. and
though the structure has been nearly
finished for sometime. nothing has been
done with regard to the approaches and in

The understanding between the boards,

been made by the Park Comissioners to
build the approaches and no dirt has been
hauled by the Water Department

PROHIBITION A FAILURE.
Revenue Official Says It is an Expert

Especial to the Brooklyn Times, oct

WASHINGTON, oct 2i.-A singular
aspect of the Prohibition agitation
throughout the country is noted by in
ternal revenue officials, who are watch
ing matters closely. This is that while
Prohibition appears TO be rampant in
the South and some other sections,
Maine citizens. where State wide Pro-
hibition has existed for many years.
are bowling for a resubmission OF the
liquor question to the voters with the
object of repeating Prohibition, and it
looks very much as If the next cleo
tion will see the decision reached to
change existing laws and permit the
sale Of liquors according to county
option.
The whole truth of it," said a high
revenue official who has been to Maine
on business lis that the other States Of
the country are rushing into an expert
ment that will sicken all their citizens
before IL is finished, while Maine. after
years OF trying to put down Illicit whis-
key selling. is now willing to enact a
law that will be respected. Maine has
become State of law breakers and
