WENDL|NG IS AGAIN
 STOPPED ON TRIP
Attorneys Are Trying to se-
 cure Prisoners Freedom
HABEAs CORPUS FAILS
wend1ing's Lawyers Try to Get Him Away From the Louisville Detec- i've Hut the Writ Is Refused
 By St. Louis Judge

St Louis, August 10.-Fonowing the failure of habeas corpus proceedings, Jo- seph Vending, wanted in connection with the death of Alma Kellner at Louisville, was started for the Kentucky city to- night in the custody of Detective Carney, but only got as far as East St. Louis, where he was placed in the city Jail. Chief Carney announced that the trip to Louisville would not be completed to- night, but declined to give his reasons. Neither would he state when the depar ture will take place.
 Wendling's attorneys, J. R. Clements of Louisville and Williams & Rollins of St. Louis followed the Carney party to East St. Louis, where they are preparing to file another habeas corpus proceeding An application to Judge George Crow was made for a writ tonight, but the judge told the attorneys he would con- slider 1t in the morning.
 Clements announced that attempt would be made to hold Vending In East St Louis tomorrow.
 Circuit Judge Hitchcock this afternoon refused to grant the petition of Wend- ling's attorneys for his release on the grounds that he was being illegally de- tained in St. Louis, that he might be sub jected to sweating process.
 As soon as the judge had announced his decision Carney and Colonel John Whalen of Louisville hustled the prisoner into a waiting automobile and took him across the river to East St. Louis, where they were stopped. It developed during the hearing in Judge Hitchcock's court that J. R. Clements of Louisville, Wendling's principal attorney, sought only to hasten the prisoners departure, and he asked for an agreement on the part of Carney that he be allowed to accompany his eli ent on the train. This Carney refused, and the proceedings continued until the judge stopped them with his decision.
 Vending was on the stand in his own behalf and claimed that he had signed no formal waiver of extradition papers in San Francisco, but that he had agreed to accompany Carney back to Louisville because he thought he must.
 An effort to show that the prisoner was subjected to third degree methods at Denver and in St. Louis was not support ed by evidence.
 Vending won the friendship of Alma Kellner, according to Carney, by giving her and her schoolmates candy and other presents. Carney said he had received a long telegram from Louisville informing him that parents of two of the murdered girls schoolmates have told the police about the school janitor's treatment of the girls.
 The parents hesitated about revealing this. according to Carney, on account of the unpleasant publicity 1t involved. Carney would not reveal their names, but said there would be witnesses against Vending when he is arraigned for trial

PROHIBITION WILL
 NOT BE AN ISSUE

Oklahoma City, Okla, August 10-With the democratic and republican nominees for governor avowedly prohibitionists, there Is little likelihood of the question being resubmitted to popular vote. An effort has been made by the re-submis- sion forces to force the question before the democratic convention here tomor- row. The convention will indorse the ad- ministration of Governor Haskell. ratify the nomination of the democratic state ticket named at the primaries, pledge the party to an economical administration. and probably reaffirm the faith of the party in United States Senator Gore.
 Senator Gore himself may address the convention. Judge Thomas owen of Mus kogee has been agreed upon as temporary chairman, and his address will indicate the policy of the resolutions committee.

BETTER SITUATION

 Been Well Resisted PRICES HOLD UP WELL Steel Interests Are Keeping Up Prices for Finished Products While Busi-

 tinues Dull
PRICES HOLD UP WELL

Cleveland, O., August 1o-(Special. )-The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say: Conditions are somewhat more encourag- ing. The market, while unable complete ly to withstand the forces tending toward deression, has been able to make an or derly retreat, and there now seems to be no prospects of demoralization in any line. The recent experience in steel bars forms an illustration. While 1t was feared that if the market declined to 1.4O cents, Pittsburg. further reductions would quickly follow this has not been true. In fact, some interests are now refusing to quote below 1.45 cents while others will do so only In rare instances. On plates and shapes prices are firmer and specifications are fair. It Is posi- lively stated by both the Steel corpora ton and independent interests that there has been no change in the price of stand ard domestic first quality rails, of which none has been sold under s2S. If any rails were sold at prices recently reported. they were of inferior quality.
 Dullness continues in the pig iron mar ket. Owing to the desire to take ad- vantage of the low canal freight rates in the east, sales increased slightly in that territory, most of the business going to Buffalo furnaces at about $.45 at the furnaces for No. x.
 The only transaction of any importance in the middle west is a sale of 5000 tons of basis to a Canton, O., interest at $14 at the furnace. It is understood that this iron had been held for considerable time by a middle man.

Review By the Iron Age

New York, August Especial )-Iron and steel markets have probably not been quieter this year than In the past week. Crop news has been favorable on the whole and has helped sentiment, but it Is evident that something more stirring in outside developments will be required to quicken the iron trade into real activ- ity.
 The statement of unified orders on the books of the United States Steel corpora ton subsidiaries, given out as this is writ ten, shows total of 3,97O931 tons on July 30. against 4,257. .720 tons, or an average of 3s1, ,57O tons month. It is to be con- sidered that production has been reduced in July and therefore the July 30 state- ments of unified orders does not permit any exact deduction as to the inflow of new business last month as compared with the three preceding months. It is known, however, that July showed some decrease both in New Orleans and some decrease both in new orders and in shipments from the average for June.
 The policy of the railroads as to a large extent, is that all of the consumers is to buy for early needs. A few conspicu- ous exceptions come up, including the definite inquiry for 5000 cars for the Cki- cago and Alton, and the statement that the New York Central lines will place or ders for 265 locomotives.
 Much has been published in the past week of an alleged cut of $1 50 in the price of steel rails. It can be said on authority that no reduction from the $2S price for standard rails has been made nor is any change contemplated. Some statements have intimated that the cut was made on Mexicn business. It Is fact that large Mexican order Is pending, and 1t Is also well known that the $2S price has not been maintained on export trade.
 All pig iron markets are dull. though there Is somewhat more activity In the east than elsewhere.

preached here last Sunday for
Rev. Morrow at both services. Mr..
Sheen is a Jamaican by birth, hav-
ing been educated in England. He
came to this country about twenty
live years ago, and has become thor
oughly Americanized. His dis
courses last Sunday were enjoyed
by the large audiences present at
both occasions. Rev. Sheen does
not speak long but to the point,
driving the thought home to his
hearers III very forceful manner
The young people gave a party
last Tuesday evening in honor Of

teenth birthday anniversary. There

good talk, but on this occasion he
more than did justice to himself

there with him to hear him make
that talk. He spoke on the Ian

earthly flowers with the FLOWERS
of the soul. " He warned against
the growing of weeds in one s life.
He advocated the broad minded

the sister churches, advised pa

glowing tribute to Rev. Ward
