Cream Feast.

The annual election of officers in the
boys division of the local Young Mems

night in Wallace Hall, with 500 boys in

with a feast of ice cream cones, served
in the boys division rooms. Ivan P.
Flood, secretary of the local work,
supervised the balloting. Heretofore
the officers have been appointed, and
not elected. This years innovation
marks the beginning of an effort
toward self-government.
The new associate secretary of the
boys division, w. s. Reed, formerly of
Little Rock. Ark, was introduced to
the boys, and, after a hearty reception,
told them of his pleasure in coming to
Newark. Mr.. Reed will take a party
of older boys to the Palisades tonight,
where they will view the Hudson-Fu
celebration to their hearts content.
The results of the election were as

COREY OPTIMISTIC
REGARDING STEEL

The situation in steel is concisely set
forth in the recent interview with the
president of the Steel Corporation. says
the Financial Review. Mr.. Corey says
that substantially all the corporations
plants are running now at practically
full time, and that the corporations
output has reached the greatest record
in it's history. Notwithstanding this,
however. the corporation has not
reached the limit of It's output. The
1907 high level operations were being
carried on at nearly the full capacity
of the mills at that time. but since then
the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company,
the extensive Gary plants, ETC.. have
been added. These are now turning out
finished steel In consequently increas-
ing quantities, in addition to all OF
the plants in operation in 1907. The
trusts capacity Is in the neighborhood
OF 10S per cent. of w years ago. Full
capacity has not yet been reached, but
steel production of the corporation Is
closer to that mark nov than ever be-
fore.

Speculation Leaves Wall Street

NEW YORK, Sept. ~25.-James A,

ernoon for Chicago to figure as to how
much money he took with him in the
shape of profits on his recent flyer In

however. are expected to be larger

so few concessions in the American
struggle is unquestionably benefited by
comparatively low prices.

HENslvE PLANS TO THE
PRESIDENT.

Beverly, Mass. Sept s.-President
Taft and Postmaster General Hitch
cock spent an hour yesterday afternoon
discussing the plans OF the latter for a
more economical administration OF his
department. The postmaster general
has been more or less criticised since
hit assumed office for alleged neglect
of the postal service through too
much attention to politics. 1t appears
from the comprehensive plans that he
outlined to the president today that
he has been hard at. work for some
time on details for a widespread re-
form. and il ought to be said that the
president not only is heartily In ac4
cord with these plans OF the postmas-
ter general but Is perfectly satisfied
with the manner in which the latter
has conducted the affairs OF the de-
partment.
AS a result of the reforms which Mr..
Hitchcock is planning, he believes that
within few years the United States
postoffice department viii be self
sustaining, IL not indeed profitable.
The postmaster general has summoned
to Washington from every section OF
the country forty experts In the
registry end Of the postal service. and
they are going into every detail OF
this branch with a View to suggesting
economy and reform wherever prac-
ticable.
