to the fortune of the late Thomas H.
Swope, for whose murder B. G.. Hyde
was sentenced to life Imprisonment,
may be cleared up by two signatures,
both said to be those of Peter M.

that Peter M. Swope, who married his
mother at Port Pleasant, Pa, was
Thomas H. Swope of Kansas City.
A signature which Peter NJ. Swope
attached to a legal document in Ot-
tawa, Kan, in 1897, was turned over
to John G. Paxton, executor of the
Swope estate, today.
Attorneys for the Swope heirs as

deed by the Pennsylvania Swope when
he sold a hotel in Port Pleasant in

contend the discovery of the Ottawa

other man than Colonel Thomas H.

Western Federation of Miners, deny

PRATTVILLE MAN HAS
 GIN IMPROVEMENTS

Prattville. August 2.-(Specal.) )-There have been issued recently from theUnited States patent office two important patents as is believed now. Thomas D. Fallon of this city is the patentee in each case. One of the patents pertains to cotton ginning condenser, being the machinery which bats the lint as it leaves the gin in the process of ginning. The im- provement which is believed to have been made by the patentee is that this new condenser will carry and bat more cotton In the same time and will take or receive the cotton more rapidly from the gin or battery of gins than the condensers now In use.
 The improvement in the gin is of about the same nature; that Is, 1t will enable to gin of a given size to "cut" more cotton and with less danger of choking" on account of the lint being removed, or let ting the seed cotton pass through the gin without cutting the line from it. The condenser as patented can be used to great advantage on the gins now in gen. eral use but 1t is well to say that 1t Is made specially for the improved gin pro- posed by MT. Fallon and on which he holds a patent issued at U recent date.

Copenhagen, August 24.-The national congress of sailors and marine firemen. now in session here today, received tele- graphic greetings from the Seamen' s union of America
 During the proceedings today the Anglo American proposal to establish a sep arate seamen's federation was rejected because of the opposition of the German delegates. This has intensified the feel ing between the British and German dele gates which arose from the denunciation by the Germans of the plans of the Brit lsh delegates to bring about a general international strike of firemen and sailors for better wages and conditions of work. The sitting closed with much confusion.
 The belief prevails that the conflict of interests will lead to the dissolution of the existing International Transport Workers federation through the secession of It's American and British members.

BIG ORDERS COMING IN
Inquiries for Pig Iron Are Increasing While Orders for Other Grades Are Coming in Very
 Rapidly

Cleveland, O., August 24.-(Special.)- The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say:
 Unexpected inquiries from central vest ern territory for fully 5O,OOO tons of pig iron, inquiries for B,0OO tons of steel bars fin the east and the ending of the long carike against the American Sheet and Yin Plate company have contributed to give a much more cheerful aspect to the market than has prevailed for a long time.
 Inquiries for basic, Bessemer and malle- able pig iron in central western territory, the largest coming from an Indiana blow works, are expected to result in con- siderable part of the tonnage being placed soon, although the blow interest was in the market some time ago and then withdrew it's inquiry. Some of the consumers show a disposition to contract without any delay.
 Virginia pipe makers have purchased about COCO tons during the past few days and the leading pipe interest is also un- derstood to have picked up a considerable tonnage in different iron centers. The
