NEWS Of NOTED PERSONS

Colonel Roosevelt issued the follow
ing statement regarding his rejection
by the New York state committee as
temporary chairman of the Republican
state convention: ITO the various
persons who asked me whether ! would
accept the position of temporary chair
man of the state convention l said
that l would do SO only if they were
sure, after knowing my attitude, that
they desired me, because my speech
would be of such a character that it
might help if the convention nomi-
mated the right kind of man, on a clear
cut progressive platform; but that it
would hurt if neither the right kind Of
a nan a nominated nor the right
kind of a platform adopted"

SAND AND GRAVEL.
Increased Demand For Washed Ma
teriai In Cement Work.

Increased Demand For Washed Ma
teriai In Cement Work.
More than $1S.OOO.OOO worth Of sand
and gravel was dug out for sale in the
United States in 1909, according to u
report just issued by the geological
survey.
This notable increase in production is
due in great part to the more extensive
use of sand and gravel in concrete con-
struction work. but larger quantities
were also used as railroad ballast n
filling. There was also a considerable
increase in the use of molding sand.
The production of glass sand in 1909
was but little more than that In 1908.
During 1909 the geological survey
made field and laboratory studies of
many kinds Of sands and gravels in To-
calities where federal buildings were
in course of construction. These stud
les have shown great differences in the
quality of sand and gravel used at diff
ferent places for making concrete.
Some contractors contend that run-Of-
bank sand gravel is the best for max
ing cement concrete. but this conten-
ton is generally not sustained by prac-
teal trials and experiments. The most
desirable material is that which is free
from clay. loan or dust. Mica also is
Objectionable il present in large guam
tity. as we'll as pyrite or limonite. A
coating Of dust on gravel prevents Its
proper contact with cement. II the
pebbles are therefore easily broken out
Of the concrete.
During recent years. particularly In
the large building centers. there has
been a greater general appreciation Of
the Importance OF using proper sand
aud gravel in cement concrete. so that
leading architects and builders are re-
quiring sound. clean. washed material.

keep it bright with sperm oil. which is
rubbed on with IL very oily cloth. Be

Steel Monarohs, Msetinr

When the steel kings of this ana

New York to talk shop, Judge Ebert
II. Gary, chairman OF the board of d.
rectors of the United States Steel cor
VOration, gave out the information
that it was not for the purpose of
forming a world combine or making
agreements as to the apportionment
Of territory. He said:
We met as at a social gathering to talk
over our business affairs in a friendly,
manner. II Is just as though three or four
OF the leading moraTchs OF the world had
come together to discuss the affairs of
their respective nations
And that is precisely the way many
people are prone to look at it. Know
ing what tremendous power these
steel "monsrcbs" have exercised In
their respective countries, they have a
right to believe that there is some
thing in the report Of projecting a
world agreement as to allotment Of
territory, No fears need be wasted
over the thought Of Worldwide
trust, for the nations would scarcely
tolerate that since 1t would inevitably
cripple their own industries and shut
