ADMISSION PLANTS
ALL BUSY BUT One

Admission, October T.-CSpecial) -Gerald
Schumacher, general manager of the
Union Foundry plant here, is authority
for the statement that Admission manu-
features more cast iron soil pipe fittings
than any other city in the United States,
and Mr.. Schumacher is a strong advocate
of using more Of this output in this city,
having agreed to lay 1000 feet of sewer
pipe from the proposed West Fifteenth
street extension to his plant.
1t is an undisputed fact that the An
niston pipe industries have enjoyed phe-
nomenal prosperity during the present
year Mr.. Schumacher has practically
doubled the capacity and greatly i'm
proved his plant; the Central foundry
has built new plant, charging by over
third and the United States Cast
Iron Pipe and Foundry company's plant
the largest in the United States, Is now
running at larger capacity than at any
other time. due largely to big orders re-
ceived fLom the canal zone and from Cuba
and San Francisco.
All the Admission industries are running
except one and it would seem that gen.
eral prosperity has again pitched his
camp here for long stay, it being stated
by local railroad men that the tonnage
for the last quarter OF this year will
equal, if not exceed, that of the abnormal
years of 1906-07.

HIGH PRICED PEW
STILL FOR SALE

Washington, October 17.-(Special)-
pew in the fashionable st. Johns Epis-
copal church here, the property of the
late DR.. Robert Reyburn, was put up
at auction today. As there were no

same church brought $1,000. This is not
the only high price paid for a pew in
st. Johns. In 1916, when the edifice
was built, the pews sold for 800 each

received the money and not a pew hold
