him Of having an artificial make OF hen
fruit, he carelessly smashed the egg.
Less than the usual number Of chill

grounds TO take part in the egg rolling,
but those who did had the time OF their
lives. Every one was happy, and the
grown-ups were Just as anxious 20 play
as were the little tots After the first

their parents and guardians wandered
on and assembled at the south portlco
of the Executive Mansion
The word had been passed around that
the President would make an address,
and about a thousand were packed in
a solid mass at II O'Clock waiting to hear
him For two hours they stood in the
broiling sun, and, then. at 1 o'clock the
police followed out their instructions.
and began TO hustle the people out into
the streets. In the meantime. however,
some OF the tots had been lost.
Half distracted mothers ran hither
and thither, until a policeman informed
them that all lost children could be
found in the east end of the White

Salesman Tells Committee
of Negotiations in
Deal.

Testimony before the IAlley investi-
eating committee today veered away
from the authorship of the two anony-
nous letters which have been submitted
as evidence and turned to another
phase Of the two submarine boat COM
panies' dealings
Charles r. Flint, OF New York, testi-
fed how be and a New York promoter
fixed up plans for consolidating the
two subarmine boat companies. These
plans. he said. never resulted in any
thing definite.
Mr. Flint. VINO was the first witness
called today said he had at various
times since 1904 negotiated sales OF Lake
submarines in Europe. His business,
which still continues, he said, has only
been in connection with foreign sales.
Tries to Merge Rivals.
It was a year ago, he testified, that he,
at the suggestion OF Grant Hugh Brown,
New York promoter, had decided it
would be a good thing to effect merg-
er or arrangement between the Electric
Boat Company and the Lake Boat Com
pany- At that tire ne advised the Lake
Company TO consider a proposition for a
consolidation of The two companies
lie later saw Grant Hugh Brown, who
knew how the electric company stood,
out nothing came Of the talk Of consoli-
dat1on.
Last month, however" continued Mr..
Flint, Brown came 10 me and said he
thought there was a chance to negO-
tate again for the consolidation. He
put this up 10 me merely in his capacity
as promoter"
Did Brown tell you he represent ed
the Electric Boat Company?' asked
Representative Stevens
No. said Mr.. Flint I did not re-
gard him as the authorized representa-
tive Of that company"
Agree to Meer Flint.
Following that meeting, Brown teIe-
phoned him to meet Brown and an Of
1icer OF the Electric Boat Company at
the St Regis Hotel. Flint. however. de-
clined 20 meet them at the hotel, and
asked them TO come 10 his house IL they
wanted to talk business. Brown and
Rice then agred TO meet him at his
house.
The president of the Electric Boat
Company"
This meeting, however. did not occur.
when you told Mr.. Lake of Brown s
offer, what did you say about this in
vestigation?'
Nothing"
Mr.. Stevens then asked:
so you don't recall Mr.. Rice having
told you last March ne could not con-
slider consolidation because his company
was under investIgation2
I do not I had no talk with Mr..
Rice in March"
What did Mr. Lake tell you at about
that time about this investigation"

ATTELL FAILS TO
 DEFEAT BALDWIN

New York June 29.-Abe Attell of San Francisco and Mattey Baldwin fought six fast rounds before the Grand Union Ath- letic club tonight. At the end both men were on their feet and on points the bat tie was fairly even one. Attell had the better of the first round, landing stiff left jabs on the face of his opponent, and cleverly blocking Baldwin's returns In the second, however, Baldwin improved and by rushing tactics had shade the better of the round. In the third he used his left effectively to body and face, and in the fourth repeated these tactics and also landed three hard rights to head and body. Baldwin, however, tired before the gong sounded the end of this round and both men missed swings as the bell rang. In the fifth Baldwin endeav- ored to repeat his rushing tactics but Attell cleverly blocked many of his leads and used his left to the face effectively. In the final round the fighters went in to slug and fought hard to the end with honors about even.

WHAT OTHERS SAY.

The ball players in the country that have made as rapid a rise as young Mac Robinson are very rare indeed He is a Lowndes county boy and has lots of friends in Montgomery who are glad of his success. Two years ago he was given a spring trial on the Montgomery team, but needed lot of experience It seems that angels were being entertained un- awares for he has been pitching some phenomenal ball for Birmingham.-Mo gomery Advertiser.
 President Kavanaugh yesterday wired Frank that Frank Delehanty was sus- pended, pending an investigation. Imme- dately the Dutchman became wrathy. He fairly boiled over with anger at tine unjustness of the suspension.
 That is just like Kavanaugh' said Frank. He suspends man before he knows proves he is guilty. Why on earth don't he investigate the case and then mete out justice? Every man is in- nocent until he is proven guilty. What if Del were found not guilty. then ne would have to suffer his suspension for nothing. There is no justice in that. believe in being strict, but that is carry ing the game too far.
 His suspension of Delehanty, before he makes an official investigation. is a farce. It is Imaginable It is like his sus- pension of Baxter after the fight, and his allowing O'Brien to continue working He has no right whatever to make snap judgment on u player like that. And you can bet that l am going to take the mat ter up.'-New Orleans Times-D Democrat
 After stating which bluff Frank gave Delehanty his unconditional release.

PIG IRON MARKET
 IN GOOD CONDITION
STOCKS BEING REDUCED RAPID. LY-NO. 2 FOUNDRY SELLING AT TIP 50 AND SOME COMPANIES ASK MORE.

Chattanooga Tenn. June 29.-The Tradesman today gives the following statement concerning the pig iron an6s steel market in the south:
 The southern pig iron and steel marke ] is in a most satisfactory condition as compared to what it has been. Sales made last month in great quantity, a steady demand yet on, a big reduction of iron stocks on yards and a strong quotation, place the producers in this section in a position on which there is no complaint to be made while it is estimated that southern pig iron producers have less than 5o,oOo tons of iron on their yards and this iron is going out at rapid rate
 Shipments of pig iron from the south have been considerable of late, much of the product going into Ohio and west ern territories. Preparations have been made in this part of the country for lengthy operation and big production. Several furnaces are being worked on and in the near future will be ready for the torch.
 Quotations have taken a firm position. No ? foundry iron in the south being quoted at between SIP and SIP. per ton. Many of the producers have announced that their minimum quotation is SIP. .50 per ton, while about the lowest sale that is being heard of is now at SIP 25 per ton and immediate delivery is being given to all business.
 A good demand for steel is reportea and more labor is being added to thY forces.
 Finished iron and steel in the south has not as yet reached that stage as 10 warrant a resumption of operations at rolling mills.
 Cast iron pipe concerns throughout the south are enjoying a splendid trade activ- ity and are shipping their goods in all directions. More companies are being or gani2ed for the purpose of building plants for the manufacture of cast iron pipe, this industry, among a few others, hay ing met with decided success in the past few years
 A little southern pig iron is moving out for export purposes. Is is stated that these bookings are not very ex- tensive.

The Birmingham Market.

The Birmingham iron market has been without special feature during the past few days Owing to the heavy buying in May and the early part of June there is less activity now, but prices remain strong. The Tennessee company and one or two other concerns are holding their iron at s12. 50 but number of companies have taken contracts at SIP. .25 on No. basis. Within the past two days the Alabama Consolidated has sold 1000 tons of analysis iron at prices running from SIS upwards for No. 2 This company closed a contract with the government recently for 1000 tons of iron for Pan anna and last week it sold considerable coke tonnage for shipment to Panama
 The Tennessee companys rolling mills at Bessemer will resume operations on July 6.
