IRON AND STEEL
MARKET STRONGER
Improvement Steady and Trust Books
Many New Orders-Railroads
Are Active.

Pittsburg Pa. May lS.-Steady
continuation Of Improvement is noted
in the iron and steel market. 1t is APP
parent that the movement of prices
is on the up grade and that the low
est levels have been reached and
passed The fact that consumers of
steel generally have become convinced
that there is nothing more to be
gained in the way of prices by furth-
er waiting has brought out consider
able business that had Oeen held back
from the market
The Improvement in new tonnage
was testified to by no less an authority
than w. L. Corey, president Of the
United States Steel corporation, just
before his departure for Europe MI.
Coreys statement was that the cor
poration was booking new business at
the rate of about 100000 tons a day
on the average and that the mills
were being operated at about 70 per
cent of their normal producing ce oac-
ity That is the highest rate of the
corporations activity since October
1907. 1t is not up to some of the stock
market reports of the volume of the
corporation business, and il is prob
able that there has been equal exag-
geration i'm uhe reports of the amount
of business being done by the indie
pendents. although they have also in
creased at a steady rate.
According to one important steeI
interest. all tnat now remains to make
a thoroughly active business in iron
and steel IS resumption of active
ouysIg 10y the railroads. They are
sli. atty Increasing their inquiries III
nancial conditions are favorable tC
the roads at present and the genera
run Of earnings is on a steadily i'm
proving scale.

bers of the Black Hand, who he had
traced there from this country, was
himself assassinated early today as
he was about to enter his apartments
on east seventy-hfth street.
The police believe that the murder
was committed out of vengeance by
reason of the friendship which Puccio
had for Petroslni, and for his active
ness attending the funeral of the
murdered police officer. which was
one of the largest and most imposing
ever held in this city.
The shot was fred just as Puccio
was about to place the key in the

stood on the stairs on the inside just
above his victim and then made good
his escape by climbing over the roofs
of adjoining buildings as there was

WHISKY DRIVES YOUNG
MAN TO SUICIDE.
Was Son of WeII-to-Do Family But
Strong Drink Drove Him to
Shameful Life in Gutter.

Denver, Colo, Oct 2S.-Desponden-
cy, caused by financial distress and
exile from his Scotland home, caused
James Wilson, a section hand in the
employ of the Colorado & Southern
railway, to commit suicide while uu-
der the influence of liquor in sa-
loon at Ninth and Larimer streets.
Yesterday. after indulging in an
excessive amount of liquor Wilson
seemed to realize his disgrace more
keenly than usual His financial em-
barrassment also seemed to add to
his depressed spirits. To n Bannock
one of the proprietors of the saloon
in which he died, he confided that he
was not only going to get drunk, but
that "he did not care whether he died
or not"
These were his last words Within
the next moment he had swallowed
the contents of vial filled with wood
alcohol, staggered to the rear en-
trance of the saloon and fallen in a
drunken stupor. When discovered he
was lying face downward, his face
covered with blood, due to an hem
orrhage of the stomach
Back of Wilson's miserable life as
an outcast is pitiful story of splendid
family connections. Wilson is said
to have been the favorite son of one
of the wealthiest and most influen-
tial families in Scotland To his
closest friends he has confided that
upon leaving home he changed his
name, adopting that of Wilson as a
disguise. He has a sister now resid-
ing on ranch in the vicinity of
Golden. The sister is said to be a
member of family of more than Or
dinary means and woman of gentle
birth
