CARNEGIE'S TALK
STIRS PITTSBURG
Famous Rail Pool, When
Gates Was Routed, Is
Now Recalled.

PITTSBURG, Nov. Z--In steel and
iron circles the chief topic Of converse
ton for the last twenty-four hours has
been the declaration OF Willis l.. King.
of the Jones & LaughIin Company, made
before the Ways and Means Committee
at Washington, that Andrew Carnegie
doesn't understand steel conditions" ard
he has no interest In the steel bust
ness except for the interest he draws
on bonds" Coupled with the discus
sion was Carnegie's tariff argument.
Mr. Carnegie's action has caused con-
siderable uneasiness in the trade, and
the latest developments recall the ia
nous warning Of John w. Gates. when
in 1895, Carnegie took the bit in his
teeth and busted the steel rail pool high,
or than = kite. lsEE zBzz
At that ume Mr. Gates was presi-
dent Of the Illinois Steel Company, with
headquarters IN Chicago. The steel rail
pool was holding rails al 81 a ton IN
Pittsburg.
OF course Carnegie was the big toad
In the pool puddle. and he wanted q
little advantage, a little the best Of it,
asking permission to shade prices a
little.
Gates riIed up and thereupon sdver-
uSed steel rails laid down in Chicago
at 81 a ton. Carnegie came bach with
a rate Of $3.50 a ton. and added, If
this price is not low enough / vii cut
another dollar and will then be MAKING
money on Fteel rails"
This was The blow that cut deep. IN
mediately Gates started the mCVeIne Il
for a gathering Of outside steel men
to see If something could not ne done
to get rid OF Carnegie. When no talk
ed on the subject this IS what he said
Get that wild ScOtchman out OF the
business or We viii have to get out
He VIII jump into print with trade Sc
crets and he is dangerous
Immediately began the negotiations
which ultimately secured the formation
OF the biilion-dollar United States Steel
Corporation, and since his former asso-
ciates have tried TO keep Carnegie quiet
and succeeded for eight years, but he
has broken out again, much to their
disgust, Gates doesn't caTe-he is out,
too, and he quit the stock market be
fore the panic OF 1907 Just as he did
before the panic OF 1901

Waste, Much Waste.

In recent report on the subject Of
the prodigious waste of the resources
Of this country, Prof. ]. A. Holmes,
chief of the technologic bureau of the
geological survey, calls attention to
the fact that in the coal-mining opera.
tion as conducted at present. nearly
one-half of IT, 3 total coal supply is be-
ing left underground; that water as
a source of power is being wasted day
after day and year after year to the
extent of millions of horsepower, and
that forest fires have burned more
lumber than has been used in the
building of homes or in the industries
Prof. Holmes says that the waste of
coal is appalling: Every possible
means should be adopted, he declares,
for reducing this waste to an absolute
minimum, in order that the country's
fuel resources may suffice for the fu-
ture, as for the present needs of the
nation. At present rates of waste and
consumption he sees an end of the
coal supply by the year 2,000

His choice lay between the sea and
the mountains, and Challoner chose
: the sea. He had always hated fash

lucky in finding picturesque yet not

In that place a piquant and charming
girl with whom he could spend long
hours in pleasant chat, and take his
morning walk along the shore.
The days were perfect summer
days; work, study, reading of every
kind had been forbidden him, and so
with nothing whatever to do and a
pretty and bright young creature just
at hand, what could be more prob
able or more natural than for Chal-
loner to fall in love?

MIN continued to be that of frank and

There was but one of Madge's
amusements in which he could not
share. and that was the sea bathing.
1t was doubly deprivation to him,
since he was an expert swimmer, and
also because Madge took to the water
like veritable nymph of the sea.
But the physicians had said that this
exercise was too violent for him now,
and they had positively forbidden it.

fears,
There were fewer bathers from the
hotel than usual that morning, and of
those who ventured in most, for
some reason, kept quite near the
shore.
But Madge, either from spirit of
bravado or from utter lack of any
sense of danger, swan out and out,
until she was far beyond the break
ers and away from everyone.
Challoner sat on the bluff and
watched her as usual, but with an un.
usual sense of irritation which at
last changed to anxiety and then
alarm. Suddenly he sprang up, some.
thing was wrong-she was being car
-ried out by the force of the under.
tow-and now she had become con.
scious of her danger; he saw her fling
up her arms.
Down from the bluff he raced, fling.
ing off his coat and vest as he ran.
Kicking off his shoes, he shouted to
those on the shore, who had begun

peril: Quick, bring out the line."
