J. N. BARR DECLARES THE WORST IS OVER
IRON MANUFACTURER PAYS A VISIT TO PLANT AT ANNISToN AND TALKS OF FINANCIAL MAT TIERS.

Anniston, November 52.-(Speeial) )-J. M. Barr, president of the Woodstock Iron and Steel corporation, is here today in company with Ernest Williams, large lumber dealer of Lynchburg Va, and a member of the Woodstock company, who as he says, has not yet been put on the pay roll" MT. Barr says that there Is no significance attached to their visit, they having arrived last night on one of their regular inspection tours. The Woodstock company Is said to be in ex- cellent condition, and according to Sup erintendent DeBardeleben has lost only one day since it start-a.
 Mir Barr states that he believes the period of financial stringency is at an end or at least that the worst has passed. He says 1t Is a superficial de- pression and business conditions through out the country being in more or less d sound state, it cannot last much longer.
 Mr. DeBardeleben, who was with MT. Williams and MT. Barr this morning, be- lieves that the scare will pass as soon as Congress meets. MT. Williams thinks it will not last long, and says that the most logical expression on the subject that he hase seen Is that of James J.. Hill before the Kansas City Commercial club.
 An industry which has developed from an idle waste at a cost of $o0eO0 In vestment in six months, employing about POO men, with weekly payroll of 5000, and which would have doubled its ca pacity in a years time, has held up fur ther improvements until more favorable Aarie,1 t{nr, h, A a. bama lawmakers, according to state ment today by General Manager Gerard Schumacher, when asked to state the result of a meeting of the board of direc- tors of the Union Foundry company In this city yesterday and today.

SPORTING NOTES.

The New Haven players were afraid
that Manager Danaher might follow in
the footsteps of Managers Clarkin and
Durant and give them 500 if they beat
the Ponies, 50 they couldn't take any
chances.
Clarkin and Durant played the Po-
MES without going to Brighton and
won out. 1t was rumored that Man
ager Danaher had also given the idea
a serious thought.
The local fans are anxiously awaiting
the next stage of New Haven's down
fall, which is to succurnp to the Whal-
ers and land in eighth place.
Council was the chief figure in the
three innings played yesterday. His
back talk to Umpire Kennedy caused
the forfeiture of the game.
Waterbury has at last landed in close
proximity to Holyoke though the SEN

Manager Durant will put up big
