IRON AND STEEL
SHOW ACTIVITY
Prices Being Put Up in Several
Lines as the Orders Begin
to Come In.

New York, July 25.-Activity cOntin-
ues throughout the iron and steel in
dustry. The tendency still is toward
higher prices. but there is more or less
iTregularity and in some lines keen
competition.
The buying movement in pig iron in
the eastern territory is gaining momen-
tum, with contracts placed last week for
foundry and basic iron aggregating 75,-
600 tons. made UD of $4,000 tons basic
and 10000 tons foundry grades.
Basic iron has advanced from S15.75
to $17 delivered, 10000 tons selling at
the outside price. delivery over this
year.
BilIets have been in active demand at
prices 81 to 81 per ton higher, 11,000 tons
open hearth bringing SIS to S26 at mill
Wagon manufacturers have purcha sed
more soft steel bars, while car shops,
electrical equipment manufacturers and
railroad equipment shops have placed
orders for plain structural material, and
boiler manufacturers, tank makers, To-
connective builders and shipyards have
placed additional orders for steel plates.
Steel bars have sold mainly at $1,000,
but some business has been lower and
small lots at $1O.35.
It is notable that while plain material
has been bringing more money, prices
of fabricated steel have continued very
ragged. Contracts for fabricated steel
during the week aggregated $4,000 tons.
Wrought iron has been advanced 81 per
ton in the east and an advance in steel
pipe is expected soon. Wire products
again sprang into activity III the last
few days in anticipation of an advance
of 81 per ton, which will probably be an
nounCed Monday.

Testimony of the Marine Leutenants
Before Naval Court of Inquire
in Snttnn Case.

Annapolis, Nd, July 25.-Further inquiry
into the death Of Lieutenant James n.
Sutton Of Portland. Ore, will De made by
the naval court of inquiry tomorrow.
Mrs Rose Sutton Parker, sister of the
dead marine officer. declared tonight thar
all the family wanted was to clear her
brothers name of the disgrace of sui
eide. She was not vindictiVe, she said.
The inquiry thus far has been notable
for the conflicting nature of the testi-
mony adduced. The marine lieutenanJs,
Adams, Osterman, Willing and Bevan,
told stories which, while agreeing in many
points, yet differed in essentials Adams
swore that no one was sitting on Sdt-
ton when the fatal shot was fired. Two
of the others testified that two or three
men were sitting upon the PROSTATE form
of Sutton, lying face downward with mis-
right arm under him.

Wooden Goods Advancing.

is a closed incident as regards the con-
ference.
In discussing the situation with callers
today the president explained his theory
of the principle of downward revision
from a protectionist point Of view. The
idea is not to reduce duties TO the point
of affecting home industries or to admit
imports to what. from the Republican
standpoint, would be unfair competition
with home made articles. The president
is. represented as regarding downward re-
vision as a means of protecting the peo-
Die from monopoly and excessively hign
pric s.
The president has declared that he be-
lieves the just comparison of old and new
tariffs to be one based on the actual do
nestle consumption Of goods upon which
the duty has been lowered. Even if the
duty is not lowered sufficiently to admit
of imports upon large scale, the pres
fdent is said to feel that in lowering the
tariff on articles of general consump-
ton a great gain has been made

Prices VIII Not Be Reduced.

President Taft, it is said. does not suf-
fer the delusiOn that revision of the ia
riff downward is going TO bring reduced
prices or would be of immediate benefit
to the ultimate consumer. Instead of a
reduction, it is declared there will be ac-
tual increases during the coming year
on many of the necessaries of life, in
GLIDING wearing apparel Even the put
ting of hides on the free list and the ac-
companying reduction in duty on finished
leather products is not expected TO work
a reduction in the price of boots, Shoes
harness or other things manufactured
from leather. As a matter Of fact, the
presidents advices are that hides are rap
idlv increasing in prices and that the de-
mand is so great that even the large I'm
portations expected from Argentine under
free entry clause viii not suffice to
keep the prices at current figures.

BOAT CAPSIzED.
-FOUR DROWNED
Party of Sons of Hermann Pic
niCkerS Come to Grief
Near Billings, Mont.

Butte, Mont. July Pa special to the
Miner from Billings says:
Four lives were lost this afternoon by
the capsizing of a boat filled with Sons
of Hermann picniCkeTs on the Yellow
stone river, about a quarter of a mile
above the dam of the Montana Water
Power company, two miles south of this
city. Among the drowned is John STAFF
fek. alderman from the Third ward, and
one of the most prominent of Billings
citizens and a pioneer well known
throughout Montana Mr.. Staffek was
dragged down to his death by three
young girls, who seized him when the
boat overturned, and persisted with him
They are Pressie West, aged Is; Minnie
WaggOneT, aged Il, and a child of 6
years, whose name at this time is not
known
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1909-07-26
capsized the Boat.

In a craft capable of safely bearing
three persons, eight picnickers, all
young girls, under the guidance of Mr..
Staffek, got into the boat for a ride,
and when about ten feet from the bank
the 16-yeaT-Old daughter OF J. G Bland
teamed over the side of the boat. causing
the overloaded craft to ship some water
This frightened the girl and with
scream of terror. she leaped from her
seat into the water, capsizing the boat
and throwing all into the swirling
stream. which quickly bore them into
midstream. The Bland girl managed
to cling to the overturned boat and was
rescued, while her young sister was
pulled from the water by Joseph Fuller.
a picnicker, who sprang into the river
after her.

Revived by Hard Work.

The daughter of Lewis Lehseldt had
gone down for the third time when W
J. Scott, racing along the bank with a
long pole, managed to raise her body to
the surface of the water and work il
ashore, the child being revived after
several hours of heroic work
The bodies of the West and Waggoner
girls were recovered but up to late this
evening all efforts to recover the re-
mains of Staffek and the 6-year-old
child had been futile. The body of the
latter was seen to go over the water
cOmpany's dam late this afternoon. and
as the current Of the Yellowstone is
very swift, it is probable that it and
the body Of Staffek have been carried a
considerable distance down stream.
Mr.. Staffek was serving his second
term as alderman. He formerly was
sheriff of Yellowstone county, and was
a cigarmaEer by trade. He was de-
feated for the Republican nomination
for sheriff last fall.

No Compromise.

A compromise duty Of Z cents-a reduc-
ton from 10 per cent under existing law
would be of no benefit, according to the
presidents views. Unless hides are made
absolutely free, there can be no reduc-
ton on boots. shoes and other mauufac-
tured articles of leather. The president,
it is said, has been deeply impressed by
the representations that have been made
to him by the leather interests to the ef-
feet that under the protection of the pro-
hibitivo 15-cent duty the leather and shoe
manufacturers are at the mercy of the
four or five big meat packing concerns Of
the middle west.
The president. on the other hand it is
declared, has not been much impressed
by the arguments of western senators
that free hides would be followed by a
demand for free wool. Hides never were
protected until the enactment of the Ding
ley law.
The presidents chief concern is as to
hides. The other schedules apparently are
being worked into acceptable shape, ac-
cording to his information. and once the
free hides and reduced leather goods pro
gram has been agreed upon the end Of
the fight is in view.

POSITION OF PRESIDENT.
Thinks Free Hides UnderIies Down
ward Revision PRINCIPLES.

Washington, July 25.-Sunday , brought
no cessation of President Tafts tariff ac-
tivities. His conference with house and
senate leaders covered practically the en-
Il erday.
The president admitted frankly to some
of his callers today that the situation
was not all that could be desired, but
expressed the hope that another twenty
four hours would straighten out the tan
gle. and that the report of the conferees
would be presented in the house on Tues
day next. 1t is also hoped at the White
House that congress may adjourn by the
last of the week.
President Taft has not receded in any
way from his demand for free hides, re
garding free hides as underlying the whole
principle of downward revision.

Reuter- FEELING
And Looking
Well

Archie Robertson is in receipt OF
a letter from Dash wood, who was In
this city with the big team Of base
ball players, and in the screed the
writer states that Dick Repter was
looking good and that all the boys
were pulling for him. Reuter- was
then with Joe Nelson's bunch of ball
tossers, and, according to Eastwood,
was looking and feeling well.
In a chatty letter Eastwood COM
mented about things in general, and
amongst other things said that he
thought Barney Joy Foolish In not
going over to the mainland, as he
stood good chance OF making a
name for himself. Eastwood al
ludes to Honolulu in very kindly
terms. and is evidently in love with
our Eden. He may possibly take a
run down some day and renew the
many friendships that he made on
his former visit.
Beyond this letter from Eastwood
very little is known OF Reuters
movements, and the local fans are
wondering how he is getting on. I,
is to be hoped that Dick does not get
homesick before he has given the
mainland fair trial. and that In
the long run he makes good.
