AS Company marched away from the
judges, the first squad of Company
later to be pronounced the best drilled
company on the field, became visible be-
hind the far grandstand. The boys In
blue were noticeably smaller than those
of the first company, and adherents of the
Armstrong hastened to explain that this
was the baby company of the battalion
and composed of recent recruits. But it
soon became evident that the company
needed no apologies. Despite their small
size, the privates marched with a swing
ing stride that is commended In regulars
and there was a noticeable steadiness in
the ranks. AS one after the other of the
movements were executed eto the com
mands Of a captain who exhibited mill
watchers around the field began to take
sharp notice. .Alrutheas Taylor was the
captain and he was ably assisted by the
other officers, First Lieut.. Herbert Stew
ems. Second Lieut.. John Carter. First
Sergt. Shermont Sewell and sergts. Ruoy
Davis, William Settlers and Charles Hen
derson.

companies followed. it being Company D.
After one or two movements had been
carried out. the crowd in the grandstands
soon realized that the high standard set
| by the first two companies was to be
| maintained by the third. and while the
| movements were not carried out as expe-
ditiously as by the two previous competi-
| tors. 1t was noticed that 1t was to be
seriously considered for first honors.
Capt Ernest Hardy was in command.
with Robert Brooks as first lieutenant,
John Coleman as second lieutenant, Lo-
! renzo Walker as first sergeant and Jo-
| seph Diggs Ernest Mobry. Charles Scott
| and Thomas jenkins as sergeants.
When Company B appeared on the field
! 1t was the turn of the supporters of the
NJ Street High School to cheer. for that
was the first company from that institu-
! ton to compete. And the thunder that
went up from the north side grandstand
| indicated an abundance of school loyalty.
| And the cheering continued during the en-
| tire time that Company B was on the
| field. 1t being especially loud when the
| company formed single rank line di-
rectly facing its grandstand admirers.
| During the drilling of the three other

In the continuation of the trial of the
American Ice Company on an indictment
charging a violation of the anti-monopoly
law in the Criminal Branch of the Supreme
Court yesterday, James W. Osborne, Spe-
cial Attorney General. who is conducting
the prosecution, introduced further docu-
mentary evidence showing how the big cor
poratiOn acquired gradually the small indie
pendents doing business in New York City
Among the contracts and bills of sale
which he read TO the jury were several in
which the restricting clauses did not speci-
fy any definite period during which the
seller agreed to refrain from engaging in
the ice business. Mr.. Osborne declared
that the effect of such contract was to
restrain the seller for all time from COM
peting with the American Ice Company.
The afternoon session was occupied by
Deputy Attorney General Clark in reading
10 the jury the substance of bills of sales
showing the acquisition by the Consolidated
Ice Company Of a large number of indie
pendents before il was itself merged with
the American Ice Company. One agree
mcnt included Jersey City in the restricted
area. John B. Stanchfield. counsel for the
defendant, made formal objection to the
reading of the contracts without avail.

BAKER ON BROTHELS.
Fczccr in the City than Erer
Before, He Says.

Police Commissioner Baker was asked
yesterday morning what he thought OIL
the charges regarding white slavery In
New York He replied:
Il am not going to talk on that as l am
not going to be brought into that Contro-
versy'
Commissioner Baker was then informed
that il had been said on reliable authority
that there were at present no houses or
prostitution in the Sth Assembly District
the stronghold of Christopher Sullivan.
Il believe that is right" replied Com
missioner Baker. Il will say there are
fewer houses of prostitution in this city
to-day than there ever were"
John " Bogart. Commissioner of Lii
censes, issued the following statement
relative to the so-called white slave traf-
fic':
The allegations OF Mr. Turner will be
generally discredited by every New Yorker
who knows his city especially by an , VINO o
live in the sections under the retormer
microscope. The writer is evidently plying
a partisan pen to meet the local poltlcai
emergency.
city, working under authority Of state
law, keeps in close touch through the
inspectors of his office with all employ
nent agencies, and would know through
daily reports to this Office if such vile tTaf-
fic were Icing carried on through these
agencies
At frequent intervals during the last four
years inspectors have been sent TO inves-
tigate and make reports with reference TO
such evils, and I can say, with the fullest
possible information on the subject as l
reported TO the Mayor a few months ago,
that:
"Unceasng vigilance is necessary TO pre-
vent certain class of employment agents
from sending girls, especially immigrant
girls. to disorderly houses, either as in
mates or servants Such practice was said
10 be common on the East Side prior to
the enactment of the employment agency
law four years ago. But whatever the
practice may have been it no longer eX-
lists"
So sure am I that the authors of these
ISLANDERS against our city are mistaken
that I herewith offer $1,000 TO either Mr..
Turner or Mr.. Sims. or each OF them, il
he or they will definitely locate an en-
/ ployment agency anywhere in New York

TENDER of 4,796.Si5 tons
Rarely has a meeting of the board been
awaited by Wall Street with so much in

phenomenal activity and striking price ad-
vance Of steel common since the preceding
meeting, when the quarterly dividend was
advanced from = per cent 10 81 per cent
II has been accepted for several weeks
rs foregoue conclusion that the stock
would be placed at this meeting on ;
per cent basis. although, the price
ciossed 50, there were reports that even .
per cent might be granted in view of the
rapid Improvement in the steel industry.
Orders from railroads and other consum-
ers are now causing the operating of man
ufacturing plants at practically their iuIl
capacity.
The stock market yesterday was wholly
dominated by the possibilities of the direc-
tors meeting. scheduled 10 take place after
the close of trading. and rumo-s were cir
culated in the last hour that after all
there might not he any change in the divi-
dend rate. the stock selling off points on
these reports and closing with net loss
of 81. at s., and the general list declining
in sympathy.
The total earnings reported were about
in line with the estimates of the last week
two. but the quantity of untitled orders
Was considerably under expectations. ana
much uncertainty prevailed in the Street
as to the effect of the statement on the
price Of Steel common in to-day's market.
On the Consolidated Stock Exchange
large number of traders awaited the state
ment, and after its announcement bets
were made al even money that the stock
would adva nee one point to-day, while
calls on the stock for to-day were offered
al ssh and puts at S4i2.
The total >arnings by months for the
