HIS DESIRE FOR WORK
LANDS HIM IN COURT,

Although his employer discharged
him Saturday because his work did not
come up to expectations, Nathan, Vein
berg, 20 years old, an electrician, re-
turned to a store at Springfield and
Paramount yesterday afternoon
and insisted on finishing the job he
had started last week. His successor
did not like his proposition and both
engaged in a quarrel. Policeman Beg
ley was called in. The bluecoat adj
vised Weinberg to leave the place, and
he obeyed, but was about to return
when Begley again interfered. The
discharged electrician became abusive.
and Begley placed him under arrest.
He made several attempts to get away,
and he was handcuffed.
When arraigned in the Fourth Pre-
cinct Police Court today the defendant
pleaded not guilty. His story, however,
convinced the court that Begley was
justified in making the arrest.
Your Honor, 1 didn't like his idea
of putting the handouts on me- said
Weinberg.
The court told Weinberg that the
policeman was not green" and knew
how to perform his duty. A fine of $40
was imposed.

GLASS MAKERS GREE

PITTSBURG, Pa, Feb. 6.-Window,
glass manufacturers operating with
hand blowers plants in Pennsylvania,
Ohio, West Virginia, Indiana and
Kansas, representing about one thou
sand pots, met here yesterday to
consider problems with which they
are confronted because of COMPETE
ton with plants using the machinery
blowing process. They decided to meet
whenever necessary. The prices made
by the machine plants through the
operation of the sliding wage scale,
under which workers are paid upon the
basis of the selling price of their

have sufficiently improved so that
most OF the plants now shut down may
be operated and the financial problem
win have adjusted itself.

PUNTA ARENAS, Straits of Magel-
Ian, Feb. Give members of Flight

Dinners and dancing, excursions and
receptions follow one another in quick
succession, the Americans trying to re-
pay the hospitality of their Chilean

stantly to put their visitors further in
their debts.
1t was originally planned to have the
fleet leave here last evening, but this
program was changed, and the de-

M WHO HAS $1,lOO
GETS INTO ALMSHOUSE.
When They Undressed Her for
Bath Hidden Savings Were
Discovered.

With SLIGO secreted in her clothing,
Miss Annie Martin recently applied for
admission to the city almshouse, pre-
senting a letter from the Bureau of
Associated Charities. setting forth the
fact that she was a fit subject for their
attention.
Poorly clad and with traces of toll
apparent on her face, the woman was
welcomed by the matron. One of the
first requisites of the institution is
that all persons admitted must be
given a bath. The old woman was as
sisted to the bath room, and as she
began to disrobe five, ten and twenty
dollar certificates began to fall to the
floor. At the end of the shower, which
caused no small amount OF astonish-
ment, the matron counted in all 81, 160.
Miss Martin will pay the city $3.50 a
week board, and will be allowed spend
ing money. Her savings were depos-
tied in a local bank.

NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN
IRON POOL PRICE DEADLOCK.
Especial to the Evening start

PITTSBURG, Feb. ga Arrow over
Southern pig iron has developed here,
and as a result there has been a cut
in rates of Northern iron by members
of the pig iron pool, who some days
age met and raised the price from'$17
to SIS per ton for Bessemer iron, in
spite of the fact that there was no
market. 1t was discovered today tina
some of the very people who had
pledged themselves to uphold prices to
the end have been selling in small lots
at 81 less thai the price agreed on.
There have been several car lots of
iron sold this week at ST. for Bessemer
and SIG for basic and Northern found
ry No. e..
But the Pittsburg dealers declare
the Southern people are not holding to
their agreement, but are selling the
iron at $40, or in some cases, S12.5 SO,
and in other cases they claim as low
as $12 per ton. This, of course, the
local dealers in Southern iron deny,
but the Northern handlers claim to
have the goods on the other fellows,
which is the row that has been kicked
up,
PITTSBURG, Feb. 6.-Advices from
Birmingham yesterday by wire were,
in effect, that the Republic, the Ten
nessee and all the big makers of South
ern iron, were still holding firm at
$3.50, as was agreed on, but this in
formation only brought forth a derisive
laugh from the Northern men, who
claim to be able to prove that they
have been quietly undersold by their
Southern neighbors, ever though a
gentleman's agreement not to cut
prices had been reached.

STORY
GIRL TELLS LEADS
TO MEMS ARREST
Subjected to Horrible Abuse in
Paterson Resort,
She Says.

PATERSON, Feb. GA pathetic and
almost incredible story was related by
Miss Josephine Cravello in the pres
ence of a court room throng yesterday
1t the trial of John Crolla, who, with
Vincent Ventre, was accused of cruelty
maltreating her in a resort on Main
street.
Strong and healthy when she came TO
this country a few months ago, Miss
Cravello was only the shadow of her
former self yesterday. h is broken
in health and spirit, and since her re-
lease from the vile captivity in which
she was kept she has continually
brooded over her condition until her
health is completely undermined.
Ventre, a fine looking Italian, who
was indicted with Crolla for criminal
assault, abduction, robbery and assault
and battery, announced through lis
counsel, Randall & Rogers, that he
wished to retract his former plea of
not guilty. He pleaded o vult to alb
duction, and Assistant Prosecutor
Ralph Shaw, who appeared for the
State, agreed to have the other indiet-
ments nolle pressed. Ventre, who is
years at hard labor, will be used to-
day as a witness for the State at the
continuation of the trial of Crolla,
which was on all yesterday afternoon.
The young woman said when she
came TO America last September Crolla
sent ventre to Miss Cravello, with
orders to bring her to Paterson.
Her story of the treatment says she
was subjected to is unprintable.
Ventre, not content with making u slave
of the girl, Immediately too all the
money she had, about $50, she says. A
few nights after her arrival. Miss Cra-
vello said she was taken to a strange
house in a sequestered part Of the city
and there a mock marriage was per-
formed.

OUTPUT
OVER A MILLION
TONS Of IRON
Statistics Reveal a Continuance
of the Policy of Curtail-
ment in Production.
Especial to the Evening start

IoptSina ~ az bNflAh 2tdA-l
CLEVELAND, o., Feb. 6.-The Iron
Trade Review today y
Our monthly blast furnace statistics
reveal a continuance of the policy of
curtailment, the production for Janu-
airy being 1,043, 374 tons. against 1884 1913
tons in December, and 1890, SOS tons in
November. There were only 139 furn-
aces in blast on the last day of Janu-
airy, compared with 154 on December 81,
and 226 on November 80. The curtuil-
ment is to a large extent in merchant
stocks. Our annual statistics of ore
shipments show that last year Al, 28S, 755
ton of ore were shipped by lake and
956. 915 tons by rail from the Lake Su-
perior region, a total of 42245, 070 tons,
compared with SO, 523, 439 tons in 1905.
Owing to the fact that the price OF
steel bars is 81 higher than the recent
quotation on bar iron, there has been a
marked increase in orders for the latter
at the expense of the former, and west
ern manufacturers have advanced the
price of bar iron So per on. Bookings
of structural material show a fair vol
ume of business, and prices are being
well maintained. Some of the smaller
plate manufacturers are shading prices.
A lumber of furnace interests from
the central west last week declined
longer to act in harmony with those
which favored maintaining a price of
$17 valley for No. 2 foundry, and one
leading house, which had been adhering
to prices, announced that it would no
longer do so, but owing to the senti-
ment developed at New York in favor
of cooperation, it has been decided to
make another effort to secure harmo-
NOUS action on the part of furnace in
terests of the central west, and to this
end a meeting will be held in CIevland
on Saturday.

NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-Increasing in

volume of business was larger by a

cember, while a prominent manufac-
turer of steam and gas engines re-
ported orders three times larger in

facts industrial experts argue a revival

ticularly as orders for power machinery
