STEEL CRAFT LAUNCHED,

Washngtons birthday was celebrated
at Manitowoc with the launching of the
United States, the first large steel
steamer built here. Every point from
which good view could be secured was
thronged with people eager to witness
the epoch marking event in the history
Of the city. There was no hitch in the
arrangement rs the big steel hull stirred
and began its descent Miss Blanche Rose
Boehm, fiance of l. l. Spiro, president of
the owning company christened the ship
with bottle of wine. The launching
was Il complete success, the craft taking
to the water with seeming eager grace.
After the launching banquet was
held at the yards. The speakers here
were l. I. Spiro, Chas. E. Kramer Of
Chicago, toastmaster. John Schuette, j.
F. Gallagher of Michigan City. Charles
West DR.. j. r. Currens, Supt. Quimby
of the Monon route, Prof. Thomas Of
the University of Wisconsin, DR.. Boehm
of st. Louis, W. K. Greenbaum Of Chi
cago.
The United States is the first steel
passenger boat built at Mapitowoc. The
boat is 2l5 feet in length, of 40 feet
beam and II feet deep. To insure an
extraordinarily staupch boat she was
built in the manner of sea going craft.
Running fore and aft the hull is divided
by steel bulkheads into five water tight
compartments rendering her practically
unsuitable. The furnishings will in
clude all the new devices looking to the
convenience and comfort of passengers.
The cabin is finished in mahogany and
the ship throughout is unusually high
grade in finish for boat intended for
the excursion traffic. The big triple ex
pansion engine supplied with steam by
three Scotch type boilers is expected to
put the boat into The twenty miles per
hour class

ADVANCEMENT OF CASE DENIED.

The Supreme court denied petition OF
Manitowoc Gas Co. to advance appeal
on calendar and court refused to modify
order of circuit court for stay pending
appeal.
Another victory for the City in the
gas fight is indicated by the above. As
result of the decision there is the pros
pect of long delay in final adjustment OF
the controversy which started over the
attempt of the Gas Co to secure authori'
ty to establish service charge against
patrons The supreme court refuses to
advance the Gas Co. appeal from the
decision of Judge Kirwan giving the
city authority to examine r. G. Douglas,
manager, and the books of the company
and also refuses to modify the order OF
the lower court for the stay on the ap-
peal under which order the Gas Co. was
prohibited from an attempt to enforce
the order of the Rate Commission grant.
ing the company authority to increase
its rates.
Under decision of the court denying
the motion for advan cement of the ap.
peal the case must take its regular call
as part of the August calendar of the
court and being one of the last cases
filed for that calendar, will not be reach
ed until late in the year. The Gas Co.,
under the order of Judge Kirwan, grant
ed stay on the order for examination
of Mgr. Douglas and books Of the COM
pany, is denied any attempt to enforce
the increased rates, and in its motion be-.
fore the supreme court asked that this
order be modified and that it be permit
ted to act under the Rate Commission 8
order if it desired, but the court also re-
fuses this. The present gas rates will re-
main operative until the supreme court
hands down decision.

Professionals in Yesterdays Market
Showed Little inclination to
Enter New Commitments.

New York, March 19.-The stock
market became extremely apathetlc
tcdav as realzatioMs became stronger
that the quest of activity on the two
previous days might be taken to show
that all the interest was stirred BY
the Introduction of the tariff bill IN
congress. Professional operators
were disposed to close up outstand'
ing contracts, owing to the small
PROSPECTS of any early activity in the
market. but showed little inclination
to enter upon any new commit
ments.
When prices sagged a demand de-
yeloped which was taken to indicate
that uncovered shorts still had some
necessities to provide for. The Hill
railroads and the Chesapeake and
Ohio were the principle features on
the other side of the movement, the
last rising to the highest price of its
history. Prices drfted back to the
lowest in the neglect of the after
noon. The news was little regarded,
although the rise in copper quota
lions may have had some steadying
influence on Amalgamated Copper,
A similar effect on United States
steel was possibly due to the state
ment credited to Charles NJ. SchWab
that $l0,0O0000 battleship order
had been placed with the Bethlehem
steel company by the Argentine gov
eminent and a reyiying effect on the
steel trade might be expected to re-
