PETER PENNACCHIO PLAYS
 PART OF PROTECTOR
Rushes to Assistance of Police in Ar-
 resting . BelliGerent Negro.

George Barnes, negro 26 years of age. yesterday won for himself the so- brfquet of .'murderous heifer. from members of the Police Department. It was all due to a plain case of too much Christmas, and inasmuch as there was equally as evident too much George. the alias to his name was generously pre- scented by Officer J. A. LaPrade. the patrolman directly concerned.
 Barnes Is represented as heavy set negro. weighing in the neighborhood of 250 pounds. His strength Is estimated in the four figures. His, stubbornness Is sad to put the Herculean qualities to shame in less than five minutes bout, while his hang -on -and -fght-tt- out proclivities quite overshadow his other reputed abusive powers.
 Yesterday Barnes was celebrating Christmas in it's ancient way. Officer LaPrade objected to the celebration. and intimated as much to the stagger- ing individual. When Barnes, 1t is said, should have acted afiirmatively. it was quite the reverse, and vice versa also. The result of 1t all, was that Pe- ter Pennachfo, of Commerce Street, had to assist the patrolman in the execution of his duties in order to save the ne- gro for further Christmas celebrations and to save physicians bills.
 Two charges were preferred against Barnes, the onS for being drunk and the other for resistance to an officer in the discharge of his duties.

TRIAL OF .SIGNERS
vIBORG MANIFESTO sIGNERs ARE HOPEFUL.
No Chance for AcquittaI, but Light Sentence is Anticipated by Many
 Famous Lawyers Employed.

St. Petersburg, Dec. 24-The trial of 169 members of the first Douma who signed the Viborg manifesto about eighteen months ago. calling upon the citizens of Russia to Stand up for their rights for popular representation and for an imperial parliament, will begin tomorrow before the court of appeals. The former Douma member rs arc charged with high treason and with the promulgation of an appeal to the people, calling upon them to re- fuse to pay taxes or serve in the ar- my or navy.
 The verdict of guilty is anticipate ted, as the gist of the accusation is es- tablished by the text of the manifes- to and only a technical defense can be interposed. But there is no req : son to anticipate the infiction of the maximum penalty, which Is death. The majority of the defendants have aban- doned all hope of acquittaI but are looking forward to a light sentence, such as a years Imprisonment or some similar punishment
 The prominence of the accused, how ever, among whom are Prof Serge Mouromtseff, former president of the Lower House; NJ. Petrunkevitch and many other Liberal leaders, and the total ineffectiveness of the Viborg ap- peal, may induce the government to further leniency.
 Several of the leading lawyers Of Russia. headed by VassilIi Maklakoff, the leader of the Constitutional Demo- crats in the second Douma, and M Tslenko. will appear for the defense. The prosecution will be conducted by Crowns Attorney Sierbert The trial is expected to last ten days.

sSS SOLVING A STEEL PROBLEM.
 S Duplex Process, Involving open Hearth and Bessemer.

Iron Ira0e HeV1eW.
 For years the steel industry has con- fidently expected to see a fulflllment of the prediction made long ago that "the pen-hearth process will go to tn 0 funeral of the Bessemer. Recent de- velopments indicate rather clearly that the function will be wedding instead of funeral, a vastly more happy oc- currence.
 The duplex process is rapidly gain ing in favor, and the details are being worked out in different ways by differ ent metallurgists. It is more a matter of appliances and manipulation, than processes as the metallurgical work is laid out very clearly. The principle in- yolved in the union is the same as that which contributed so largely to the happiness of the Sprat family. of nursery fame, since the Bessemer con verter cannot devour phosph orus, while the open-hearth furnace finds it tedious to remove carbon and silicon.
 The duplex process, however, carried out in mechanical detail, involves fun damentally the desiliconiZing and par tially decarburizing of blast furnace metal in an acid-lined Bessemer vessel, and the subsequent removal of the phosphorus and otherwise bringing the metal to the proper analysis in the basic lined, open-hearth furnace
 It does not follow that the plant, al- though composed of two distinct ele- ments, involves a greater capital outlay
The Montgomery advertiser., 1907-12-25

In proportion to tonnage output, than does the more expensive of those ele. ments, when used singly. By giving the open hearth furnace only the work to do which 1t can do to the greatest advantage, the number of heats per day can be greatly increased. The conver- ter, also, can operates on shorter cycles, and can be of greater capacity. (
 The blast furnace has hitherto been distinctly the servant of the steel mill. American practice developed the heavy output which made it famous years ago by establishing this subservience. The duplex process permits the use of higher silicons than would content the open-hearth furnace where used alone. and will enable blast furnaces to operate to better advantage in this regard. while, still more important it furnishes means of eliminating mod crate quantities of phosphorus and re- moves the rapidly increasing burd~ of producing a large tonnage of pig iron under the Bessemer limit in phospho- rus.

GOLD AVERTS FLOOD

 PREVENT DISASTER.
Allegheny River Threatened Millions in Property, but Providence Steps
 in and stops It.

Pittsburg. Pa, Dec. 24-A sudden cold snap at the headwaters of the Allegheny River has averted flood against which the local fore caster isued a warning today. pre- dieting that by Christmas morning the danger point of 22 feet would be reached and that 1t might be passed by several inches. At II o'clock it was announced that the rise would be 20 feet. possibly not over 1s. Warehouse men moved large stocks after the warning. The most remarkable fea- ture of the threatened flood Is that since 1910 the danger point has been reached fin December in only two years --1873 and 1875.
 The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad late today abandoned passenger ser vice at the Allegheny station but Is maintaining regular schedules through the Smithfield and Water Street sta- tions in the city proper A few mills are threatened. but having closed Tor the holidays the effect will be scarce ly noticeable. A number of the hous- es on the river front are flooded and families have been forced to move out.
