race was spoken Of the game Immediately
stopped and the betting began.
One millionaire" offered TO bet 5000 on
the race and Stroud took the bet. Another
wanted to bet $1,000 and Stroud covered his
money. The first man then wanted to
bet $1,000 more and Stroud covered his
money. making $4,000 OF the steerers'
money he had bet on the race.
"I'u Just bet $4,000 more as a final
wager" said Millionaire No. 2. but as
Stroud had but $500 left he could not cover
IT and that was the cue for the gang to
get busy.
Don't let him get away with that
money when we have a clnch." said one
steerer. Put up your own money and
cover the bet
Stroud did not want 10 bet and had no
money besides. The crooks worked on him
for some time and still he did not tell them
ne had sent his draft to Omaha
''Tn just bet you 800 10 your revolver
you haven't got a draft at all. shouted
one Of the gang pulling a 800 bill from his
vest pocket. The bluff was for the double
purpose Of having Stroud declare himself
as to whether he had the draft or whether
he had gun. Stroud kept his peace
The men became abusive and insinuated
that they thought Stroud was a gentleman
and that he had little coin. Stroud held
his ground and was soon able to back out
OF the room. having evidently intimidated
the gang by his refusal to declare himself
one way or me other As TO whether he had
gun or a draft.

Report Servia
Will Withdraw
First Demands
London Advices Say it Will Not Insist
on Territorial Compensation
Peaceful Settlement Expected.

LONDON, March 3.-It was learned con-
clusively in London today that Servia, in
accordance with the advice of the powers,
compensation at the hands Of Austria Hun
gary The sem-official news published In
Vienna to the contrary, is therefore errone-
GUS The question of the autonomy of
Bosnia was not raised in the representa-
tions made by the powers at Belgrade.
It is believed that this decision on the
part of Servia forshadows an early and
peaceful settlement of her difficulties with
Austria Hungary
VIENNA, March 3.-Semi-official advices
received here from Belgrade set forth that
servia refused to withdraw her demands
for territorial compensation at the hands
of Austria-Hungary and the autonomy of
Bosia. Servias claim arises from the
annexation of Bosia and Herzegovina by
Austria Hungary last fall. The situa
ton between the two countries has been
critical of late and the powers of Europe
have been negotiating to the best means
of securing settlement 1t had been hoped
that Servia would forgo her demand for
territory.
PARIS, March 3-The sensational report
from Vienna that Servia had refused to
accede to Russia's request to abandon its
demand for territorial compensation finds
no confirmation here and is not believed
! Advices received at the foreign office early
this afternoon Indicate the contrary, namely
that Servia has decided to follow the ad-
vice of the powers.

Senate's Last
Slap at Teddy
Solons Say Real Mean Things About
Retiring President in Bailey
Resolution Debate.

WASHINGTON, March Reconsideration
Of the Bailey resolution directing the re-
turn to heads of departments of communi-
cations from them made in response to
demands Of the senate, which purport to
be sent by direction of the president" "
was resumed by the senate today.
Mr.. Bailey said that he did not expect
so much executive insolence from the
next administration as there had been in
the one now expiring. He was sure that
there would be less If Senator Knox, who
is to be Mr.. Taft's secretary of state,
could control the matter.
Mr.. Rayner supported Mr.. Bailey's 20
siton and exclaimed:
THE fourth of March is rapidly ap-
preaching. After that date we will have
a president who will obey the require
ments of the law and will not evade the
constitution-one who knows the limita-
tions Of the executive authority"
Senator Cummins offered and Mr.. Bailey
accepted a substitute declaring the right
of the senate to direct heads of depart
rnents to furnish the senate papers, docu-
ments and information in all proper
cases. and that such heads of departments
are bound to furnish the same without
the interference or Intervention Of any au-
thority whatsoever"

BLACK HAND AT FIRST BLAMED
Blaze Started in Basement Following
Receipt of Threat by Tenant
Many Thrilling Rescues
by FIremen.

NEW YORK, March 3.-Cut off from es-
cape by a burning stairway, ten persons
perished early today in q five-story tene-
ment house at 372-4 Seventh avenue. The
victims who we're all Italians with the
ception Of an unidentified Frenchman,
ranged in age from 50 years to an infant
girl of 4. Five persons, including a police
man, who was cut by flying glass, and a
male child about ! year old were injured
and taken to hospitals IL was at first be-
lieved the blaze was incendiary, following a
black hand" blackmailing notice which an
occupant of the building received several
months ago
There was about thirty families. mostly
OF Italians, in the tenement house and po-
licemen and firemen rescued many OF them
by ladders and by swinging them across
from windows to neighboring buildings
Several babies were thrown from the win
dows and caught by firemen who were
standing on the extension ladders.
Most of the occupan, S,Ss the tenement
were asleep when Che fre .s gan and many
OF them were overcome before awakening.
Policemen Reilly and Gallagher obtained
access to the upper floors of the burning
building by climbing to the roof OF an ad-
joining structure and creeping along cor
pied by Attila Pasifo, who. with his wife
and, son Louis, aged 7, were taken out Of
the window and carried along the cornice
to the adjoining building, whence the fire
men took them to the street.
Two Babes in Arms, Catches Third.

on the fourth floor by the thrilling work

STEEL PRICES MAINTAINED
Reduction on Plates, Shapes and Bars
Are Not Material.
PIG IRON PRODUCTION LARGE
Wire and Tin Plate Business Active
and No Cuts Have Been Made
in QuOtations-LnrEeC Com
tracts for Coke.

CLEVELAND, March S--The Iron Trade
Review tomorrow will lsay: The readjust-
ment of conditions following the recent
declaration of an open market has pro-
ceeded in an orderly manner While a
moderate amount OF business has been
developed, manufacturers are not showing
the disposition of past years to take orders
regardless of cost, and careful estimating
is being done to avoid selling at loss. In
spite OF unconfirmed rumors to the con-
trary, the quotations on plates, shapes and
steel bars are being we'll maintained. There
is less talk concerning the making OF Chi
cago a basing point, but It is believed that
prices will be based on Chicago IL neces-
sary to take orders. The Lackawanna
Steel company, which last week based its
quotations ON Buffalo, has returned to
the Plttsburg base.
1t is not to be expected that the recent
reduction sweeping as II is, will make Its
effect felt in all lines into which iron and
steel enter. For instance. there seems TO
be no likelihood Of a reduction in prices
of machine tools.
Pig Iron Production Increases.
The production OF pig iron continues at a
greater rate than is justified by the de-
mand, the daily production for February
being 6OO51 tons, compared with 57,654 tons
In January. The February total was 1,6S1,
423 tons. Some companies favor a general
movement for the banking of all furnaces
for thirty days, or the blowing out OF
many stacks. The demand is limited, and
in some cases. especially in the south, where
iron is sold rather freely at $l2 for No. 2,
the situation is weak.
The wire business is in such flourish
ing condition that no difficulty has been
experienced in maintaining the old price
and expected reductions have not been
made. The same is true of tin plate, the
manufacturers Of which are hoying that
the price of their crude material will not
be reduced.
Orders for about 1900 tons OF plates have
been taken by the leading interest. and a
manufacturer of cars has placed order
for 1000 tons of shapes. Rumors of orders
for cars, including $500 70 the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad are current, but nothing
definite In regard to them las developed.
Independent interests have announced a
reuction on black sheets of from 81 to $;
on galvanized 81 to S6, and on corrugated
roofing 81 TO 81 Reports Of lower quota
tions are current
Few Large Structural Contracts.
Structural iron contracts OF large tonnage
are not numerous. The books OF the Amer
lean Bridge company for the last month
amounted to about 1000 tons and those
Of the independent interests to about 10000
tons. Quotations on rolling billets have
been established at S23 Pittsburg. and s25
| Pittsburg on sheet bars. In the east roll
| ing billets are sold at t23 at the mill, and
the Chicago price is $3.50. It is understood
that in all cases full freight charges are
to apply.
