INVENTED eEssEMsR PROCESS
Today is Centenary of the Birth Of
William Kelly.

Pittsburgh, Pa. Aug. 22-Today saw
the centennary of the birth of William
Kelly. who is generally credited with
the invention of the Bessemer process
for converting melted cast iron into
malleablc steel, a discovery which rev.
|olutionized the steel industry and help
ed to make Pittsburg and the neigh
boring towns one Of the greatest in
dustrial ccnters la the world.
Kelly was born in this city August
%, 1911, and early In life manifested
an uncommon aptitude for mechanics.
In 1916 he removed to Kentucky, where
he acquired an iron works on the Cum
berland River. Here il was that he
conceived the plan of dispensing with
fuel I'm the process of refining and de-
carbonizlng iron by the introduction
of a current of air. After several
years of experimenting he finally per-
fected the process, which was long
known as "Kelly's air-boiling pro-
cess" and which was used for the
manufacture OF boiler plates before Sir
Henry Bessemer was known. When
the latter brought out his process in
England I'm 1856, Mr.. Kelly asserted
that Bessemer had obtained his knowl-
edge of the process from English work
men employed by him in America.
Subsequently both inventors applied
for patents i'm the United States, but
the commissioner issued one only, TO
Mr.. Kelly, acknowledging the priority
of his invention of the process.

Put Taft in Hole
GIVES G. 0. P. ALL THE CREDIT
Says Minority is Responsible For
Good Work Done. Democrats
introduced Tariff Bills in
Crotesque Forms.

Washington, ID. c.. Aug. 22.-Repub-
lican Leader Mann. in a statement is
sued today giving the minority credit
for the work of the extra session of the
Democratic House, declared the net re-
suit was TO strengthen the president
and weaken the democracy, and that
the Democrats trying TO put the pres

been hoist by their own petard."
Mann charges the Democrats pre-
vented the popular election of United
states Senators by tacking on an
amendment to deprive the federal gov
ernment of powers, also pension legis-
iation and laws for the protection of
Alaskan resources.
The Democrats brought tariff bills
In grotesque form with the plain
avowal they neither knew nor cared
what effect they would have on home
industries" said Mann.
They prepared tariff bills without
knowledge either of form or substance
The special session was called by the
president and fulfillment of the obliga-
tions of his agreement with Canada To
consider and pass Canadian reciprocity.
That bill has become a law"
Tafts message vetoing cotton was
read in the House at 2;O2 o'clock this
afternoon. The president based his
objections largely upon the fact that
the tariff board had not time to SUBJ
NIT report on the schedule. He de-
clared the cotton bill was adopted
without investigation and information
and objected 10 the iron and steel am

FAVOR UNIFORM LAWS.
Michigan Congressman Hope States
Will Agree on Divorce Statutes.

| Washington, Aug. 22.-EVery Mich
| igan member of congress is watching
with interest the agitation for uni
form national divorce code, and while
a number believe II is a well nigh
invitation or suggestion to bring about
such legislation. they are all agreed
that a uniform divorce law for all the
states would go long way toward
lessening the divorce evil.
One Michigan member says: 1T is
proposed that congress invite the gov
ernors OF the states to send To Wash
ington two delegates from eacn state
To formulate divorce code, this to
be submitted by each governor to his
legislature for ratification.
AT present there Is hardly a state
having a divorce law like that OF any
other state. what constitutes grounds
for divorce I'm one state Is held in
sufficient i'm another state and, re-
gardless of the cause of differences
between a married couple. there is
sure to be, somewhere. state under
whose laws they may attain legal sep
aration. But let either or both of the
divorced parties be placed under pro-
hibition of remarriage i'm that state
and there is Inevitably some other
state into which they may go. there
to contract marriage with other par
ties.
Certain il Is that remarriage is the
worst feature of the divorce evil. Were
1t impossible to remarry under some
or all conditions Il is quite likely tnat
far less divorces would he sought; the
present ability legally To switch wives
and husbands with impunlty being un-
questionably the chief cause of seek
ing divorce. or course there are cases
where divorce is justified, but a uni
form code making hard and fast defin-
itltions I'm every state as to what is
iustidable and rendering marriage i'm
possible I'm one state for any one laid
under the ban OF remarriage I'm an
other state could not help to work
great Improvement In the morals and
ethics of marriage In this country"

CATTLEMEN SAVED MILLIONS.
Copious Rains Prevent Shipments of

Kansas City, Mo. Aug. 22-West-

biggest speculative games ever played

cattle.
With the cattlemen ii was ship at n

makes a difference of from SO TO $50 a
