BUSINESS
 IN IRON MARKET Steel Corporation Is Working At Two-ThirdS Capacity SOUTHERN IRON IN DEMAND Heavy Purchases Have Been Made of Iron and Lively Competition Has
 Developed In Steel Bars for
 Prompt Shipment.
SOUTHERN IRON IN DEMAND

Cleveland, O., April -(special)-The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say:
 Following the recent improvement in tonnage of finished products sold, in- creased business is being enjoyed in the pig iron market but competition is keen and very low prices are being made on northern pig iron and on finished prod ucts.
 The United States Steel corporation is working 65 per cent of it's capacity, with the Ensley plant still in operation. A Pittsburg firm having large iron ore and blast furnace interests reports sales amounting to about s0o0O0 tons of iron ore at last years prices.
 Inquiries for pig iron are much more numerous and represent leading electric, radiator, harvester and cast iron pipe in terests, as well as vast number of smaller concerns Sales of southern iron have continued at a satisfactory rate, and the s11 Birmingham price for No. has practically disappeared. The scarci- ty of the lower grades of pig iron in the south is a noteworthy feature.
 Among important purchases were 10000 tons by the Westinghouse Elictric and Manufacturing company, 10000 from the American Steel Foundries and 24.OOO tons from the Massillon Iron and Steel com pany. The prevailing quotation in the valley is s14 for No. 2. but some interests are asking more. On the whole the pig iron situation is much more encouraging.
 The liveliest competition has developed in steel bars and for prompt shipment 1.10c Pittsburg is the prevailing price, while on contracts up to January 1, 1.15c is asked Contracts for structural ma terlal during the past week have not been heavy, and in some districts in which the 9Oc price had been adhered to sales have been made at a reduction of g.
 Some important railroad work Is pend ing including 16,000 tons for track eleva- tion for the Philadelphia and Reading. A striking illustration of the competition that might be expected if the tariff bars were let down is shown by the fact that on a recent order for steel pipe planned by a Canadian mining interest German pipemakers made the low quotations at price below the American cost of manu- facture.

 Next he addressed himself to pointing out the importance of preventative meas ures, and the understanding of hereditary tendencies in the evolution of race im- provement He concluded with this declar- ation:
 'aThe measure of success with which eff fort is to be crowned depends upon so- ciology and preventive medicine, work ing zealously in common cause, striv- ing toward a common goal. First, the hundreds of thousands who are dying an nually in our country of preventable dis eases, and second, the rapidly increasing numbers of each generation that are born stamped with nervous, intellectual or moral stigmas of ancestral cause are the xzz<lessstnsignals that should call forth

HAVE NOVEL PLAN TO BUILD MONU MENT
EVERY LOVER OF THE SOUTH WILL BE ASKED TO CONTRIBUTE 10 CENTS TO THE ARLINGTON FUND ON MEMORIAL DAY.

Mrs. Charles G. Brown, president of Alabama division, United Daughters of the Confederacy, and Mrs. Chappell Cory, Alabama director for Arlington monu- ment have asked every paper in the state to publish the following article:
 "A plan to built at once the Confederate monument at Arlington. An appeal to the public on Memorial Day. No con- tributIon asked for more than 10 cents. 5000 now in hand. One days earnest work throughout the country will, it is hoped complete the amount needed.
 .All who honor the courage and de- votion of the Confederate soldier will please read
 Some years ago, under a generous act of the United States Congress. at gov ernment expense, the remains of 2s5 Con- federate soldiers, then scattered through out Arlington and the District of Co., lumbia, were gathered and inferred to- gether in a beautiful spot now known as the Confederate section in Arlington cemetery, each grave marked with a marble headstone, identifying the soldier when possible. Practically every Confed- crate state is named on those slabs.
 Later the United States Congress gave by unanimous vote $200,000 to care for the graves of those who died in northern prisons Each of these soldiers, where known, is to have a separate headstone. and the remains of the unknown, 1t has now been decided by the President, are to be grouped under appropriate monu- ments.
 Tn the center of the Confederate section at Arlington is left a mound. There, in sight of Washington city, where for un- told generations the American and the foreigner will be pilgrims, the Confed- crates themselves are expected to build a memorial, which will typify their love of and veneration for their dead.
 Soon after the reinterment at Airing ton Confederate organizations In Wash ington began to move in this matter. In 1906 the United Daughters of the Con- federacy, in convention at Gulfport, in- dorsed the movement and subscribed to it. In 1907 at Norfolk the daughters took full charge, appointing directors in the several states and an executive committee al Washington. All went promptly to work From all sources the amount received and deposited in the American Security and Trust company at Washington, D. C., as reported at meeting of our committed on April 5, 1909, was sSS99. 73, besides A Q, on hand, but not yet deposited, aggre- eatlng over 5000 now in hand.
 ''To build q monument worthy of oui dead and which will represent at Arling- ton. the home of Lee, all the Confeder- ates everywhere, we feel that we neef sSO, 600 more. This sum can and will be subscribed by our friends at once, i

they are properly solicited. Each local chapter of the daughters is therefore hereby earnestly requested to
 T. Ask the local newspapers, wi.ich are always public-spirited, to print this appeal in two Cor more, if dailies) of the,r issues preceding the coming local Memor- ial Day, calling attention to the appeal and reinforcing it with editorials.
 "2. Appoint a number of earnest and efficient young lady canvassers, each to be decorated when soliciting with ap- propriate insignia of authority, and in- struct them to ask of every one in streets, business houses and homes to contribute 10 cents, informing each person that no more is asked, but that larger or sIler sums will not be refused, and the can vassers must politely insist on pinning upon each one who responds a piece of white ribbon, upon which is printed Con tributor to Arlington Monument
 8. Amounts thus collected, less neces- sary expense, will be sent by check or express to MT. Wallace Streater, treas urer, 8leo Eighteenth street, Washington, D. C., who will duly acknowledge as well as publish in the Confederate Veteran of Nashville, Tenn.
 This plan energetically carried out it is earnestly hoped will at once enable the organization to ask for designs and bids to be submitted to the United Daughters of the Confederacy at the next conven- tion.
 Ut will be gratifying indeed if the build ing by the Federal government of the monument it IS about to erect over our unknown dead around northern prisons shall be promptly followed by the consum- nation of our own plans for such Il memorial at Arlington as shall be a source of pride to us and our posterity.
 "Should every chapter of the daugh- ters in all the land, whether 1t Is or is not otherwise observing Memorial Day, unitedly rise to this work as we con- fidently expect and in the space of one day raise the sum necessary to complete this monument, what a glorious spectacle of love and patriotism this will present

 Monument association.

The Local Market.

Considerable Birmingham pig iron ton mage has been sold this month, and so far as can be learned only one company Is now offering iron at s11 for No. 2, The Republic Iron and Steel company, which had been selling at s11, has recently ad- vaneed its price to S11.50.

 The Tennessee company has been sell ing for delivery covering the entire year. but the other companies have declined to quote for the last quarter. There is a pretty strong feeling among some Of the furnace interests that the price of pig will soon advance to SIP.

DURABLE DANE
 GETS BEATING
(By United Press.)

LOS ANGELES, Cal. July 1i-Ad Wolgast, the crack Milwaukee feather weight, gave Battling Nelson, cham pion lightweight of the world, soun beating in 10 round fight at Maud pavilion last night. Under the law no decision could be given, but Vol gast lead all the way and had the better of six of the ten rounds.
 Wolgast displayed great speed and cleverness and made Nelson repeat edly miss his leads, when Wolgast would put. in stinging counters. In the mitigating Wolgast contented him self with blocking Nelson, and the Dane could do little execution.
 Although badly hammered, Nelson was never in distress and would have undoubtedly worn his man down had the fight gone longer than 20 rounds.
