New York Especially Iron max
ers from many parts of the world
met at the Waldorf-Astoria here, in
attendance at the first general meet
ing of the American Iron and Steel
Institute. No such gathering of steel
makers has ever taken place before
In this country, and from it results
may flow which will revolutionize
that gigantic industry in some of its
important branches.
The American Iron and Steel In
stitute is new departure, inasmuch
as its aim is to deal not only with
the technical part of the industry,
but to take up it's commercial side
as well, and hence invade the domain
of prices so important to the world
at large.
Other organizations, notably the
Iron and Steel Institute of Great Brit
ain, have existed for the exchange OF
views regarding the technical side of
steel making and have held many i'm
portant meetings, but the meeting to-
day was probably the most important
step yet taken toward securing what
for long time has been under dis
cussion, namely worldwide corpora
tion among the makers of steel and
iron for mutual protection in the
markets of the world in the matter
Of productions and prices.
The movement looking to such a
thing has been going on quietly for
sometime.
Prominent among those who have
been trying to bring it about are
Judge Gary, of the United States
Steel Corporation, but associated
with him in these efforts have been
representatives of many of the So
called Independents and the foreign
steel makers.
Already several meetings OF the
new institute have been held, but II
was not until the meeting of TODAY
that the American iron masters rub
bed shoulders with many of the great
iron masters OF such countries as
Great Britain, France and Germany
in the new movement to secure CO.
operation. Chief among these for
eign steel makers, perhaps. r"s
Baron Won Bodenhausen, managinl
director of the great Krupp works a.
Essen. Colonel Sir Charles Allen. q
nephew of Sir Henry Bessemer ana
president of Henry Bessemer & Com
pany. of Sheffield, England, was an
other. All told. there we're thirty
eight of the foreign steel makers
present, representatives of practical
ly all big foreign steel works.

President Taft Authorizes the
Raising of Vessel.
SPAIN WILL Be ASKED TO Be PRESENT
The Work Is To BE Done Under the
Direction OF An Engineer Officer
or the Army - Paramount Ques-
ton To Be Decided Is Whether
the Explosion Took Place Within
Or Without-The Disposition OF
the Old Hulk Has Not Yet Been
Settled.

Beverly (SpeciaD President Taft
finally approved plans for raising the
wreck of the battleship Maine from
Havana Harbor, which calls for the
completion of the work on or before
the thirteenth anniversary of the de-
struction of the war vessel, Febru-
airy l 5 next. The work is to be done
according to plans made by army
engineers and to be under direction
of an engineer officer.
The President believes that the
paramount question in the raising of
the Maine is the determining for all
time of the cause of the explosion,
and whether the source of destruc-
ton was from the outside or inside
the vessel For this reason he de-
sires that the work shall be retained
in the hands of the army engineers
and not let out by contract.
BY direction of the President,
Spain has been invited to send a
representative to Havana to be pres
ent during the work of exposing and
removing the wreck
The disposition of the old hulk re-
mains to be settled. The army engi-
neers believe it will be possible to
float the after two-thirds of the YES
sci. The forward third, where the
explosion wrought the greatest havoc
and killed the greatest number of the
crew while they were asleep in their
quarters, is believed to be too tar
gone ever to be taken as a whole
and the wreckage will be removed
piecemeal.
II Congress approves the recon-
mendation of the engineers, the
wreck will be taken out to sea and
given a ceremonial burial in deep
water, there to remain until the end
Of time.
Various plans have been sug-
gested of exhibiting the wreck and
preserving it, but none of these finds
favor with the authorities at Wash
ington.
The wreck is now in 25 feet of
water. 1t has sunk but one foot in
the 1914 years since it went down.
Underneath the wreck soft mud has
been found to depth of five to eight
feet, and beneath this there is hard
clay Congress has already appro-
priated 100000 for the work

The worlds wheat crop this year i

The worlds wheat crop this year is
estimated at little under 100000,
900 bushels, which will make 1t, with
one exception, the largest ever gath
cred. The largest wheat crop ever
gathered was that of last year. which
was approximately 150,0OO,OOO bushels
more than the estimate of 1910. More
Than half of the shortage is figured in
the crop of the United States. AL
though here as in Russia the crop is
shorter than last year, the reserve OF

than it was In 1909.

Siasconsett, Mass. Especially. -
Somewhere east of Nantucket Island,
off the coast of Massachusetts, and
approximately 800 miles from At.
lantic City, the starting point, Walter
Wellman's airship America, signalled
wireless "all's we'll" and a good-by
at 12.45 o'clock Sunday afternoon
and swung on up the coast through
the fog. This message, the last OF
the days wireless conversations, was
received here by A. H. Gilman, the
Marconi operator, who had been on
the alert since dawn.
At o'clock A. M. Siasconsett first
came in touch with the giant dirig.
ible. Then, although the wireless
range of the craft is comparatively
short, owing to necessarily limited

the signals, 1t was assumed that the
America was in close proximity to
Nantucket, and Immediately all the
life-saving stations and lighthouses
on the island were notified by tele.
phone to keep sharp lookout.
But the fog, which had enshrouded
the America since her departure, still
hung over the ocean, shutting off the
view. The Marconi station, however
began a rapid-fre of interrogations
and learned from Jack Irwin, the
Americas operator, that the ships
motors had been stopped and that
the dirigible was heading east-north.

with the wind. Nantucket's excite.
ment was acute, but with motors
idle the airship sailed along as 81
lently as phantom in the sky, where
ordinarily the engines exhausts
would have reverberated along the
coast.
However, the electric voice of the
Marconi station filled in at times
what the eye and ear were denied
and intermittently the operators here
exchanged greetings with their late
associate, who, it will be recalled, re.
ceived at this station the dramatic

From that time on the signals

Unable to take observations in the
fog, the Americas exact position re-
mained unknown throughout the day
as has been the case since she set
sail. Her course, however, has been
along the steamship lines and as no
word to the contrary has been re.
ceived the assumption is that Mr.
Wellman, with so days fuel and so
days provisions aboard, is adhering
to his plan of crossing the Atlantic
and landing on the British Isles. II
is likely that no further wireless
word from the airship will be receiv.
ed here.
When last heard from during the

been in the air just 1S minutes less
than 29 hours, and having covered
approximately 800 miles, must have
