kRUPPS LOSE ROYALTY.
Processes for Hardening Armor Have
Been Perfected in America.

Processes for Hardening Armor Have
Been Perfected in America.
Pittsburg, May 28.-Mystery sur
rounded the visit of Baron Won Boden-
hausen, of Krupp interests, to America
until today. For some time no royalty
has been paid Krupp by. American
makers of armor plate, as Midvale,
Carnegie and Bethlehem interests now
have each an armor plate hardening
system of their own. 1t is $l3 per ton
cheaper also, as this is the royalty
which the American makers have been
paying Krupp for years.
Baron Won Bodenhausen came to
America for the purpose of clearing up
the armor plate case. The Germans
have not believed that the American
makers could have invented three diff
ferent forms Of hardening plate. The
loss of revenue to the Germans has
been very great, 30 the baron came
here to re-establish that revenue if
possible.
That the American companies had
each invented armor plate processes
came as distinct news to Pittsburg.
The coming of the German baron ap-
pears to have made publicity impera-
tive. Krupps question the legality of
the American processes, and the Amer
leans express willingness to demon
strate that their process is no infringe
ment. At armor plate headquarters it
is stated Krupp's American royalties
amounted to 81, 900, 900 annually.
