hand in support of my contention,
and, finally, / added: And, Sir Henry,
you will be responsible for the pres

It not been for your discovery of
the process by which perfect steel
can be made cheaply, we should not
now be able to compete with you in
the manufacture of steel and would
probably have to import all our
steel
"Sir Henry smiled indulgently; It
was plain that I had not succeeded
in convincing him.
Well / said, perhaps | can con-
vince you on another matter that has
been interesting me greatly of late.
But first tell me, off-hand, If you can,
about how many millions of pounds
your invention has brought TO you
personally. / do not ask the question
out of idle curiosity
For perhaps FIVE minutes Sir
Henry absorbed in mental calculation.
Then he said: Mr.. Hewitt, ! should
say, off-hand, that my process of steel
manufacturing has brought me about
four million pounds.
THAT is twenty million dollars in
American money ! replied. Then |
took a pencil and paper and began
to do some figuring, based on my
knowledge Of the statistics of steel
production and Of commerce and man
ufacture. / made a rapid computa-
ton and handed the paper to Sir
Henry.
e." You will see by my figures I ex-
planned. that your invention, within
quarter Of a century, has increased
the material wealth Of the world by
an amount practically equivalent to
the cash capital OF the commercial
nations of the world as that a hun
ydred years ago, or at the time of the
close Of our Revolutionary war
"For a long time Sir Henry looked
blankly at the figures. You amaze
me, he said at last I know that
you are familiar with the statistics
you have employed to arrive at this
result. Yet it doesn't seem credi-
ble'
Nevertheless, the story those ng-
ures tell is the truth, l answered
And OF the increased wealth OF the
world-hundreds Of millions in all
resulting from your great invention
you have received only twenty mil
lion dollars. Surely, you have di-
vided your great wealth with all the
nations"

poenas Yesterday.

Deputy Sheriff George Nestorovich
received another batch of subpoenas
yesterday and he served them at once
upon a number of Gary citizens who
were commanded to appear before the
grand jury to answer such questions
that are put to them. Among the usm-
moned yesterday was Louis Gordon, a
saloonkeeper, number of colored men
and several other south end saloonmen.
1t was learned yesterday that the in
vestigation by the grandjurors Will
consume about two more weeks. In the
mean time such of Gary's citizens who
were election day spectators may ex-
pect to get a subpoena and it is said
that several hundred will be hailed be-
fore the circuit court To-Day.

only probing into alleged handed
