NAME FOR HAND BAG
is "HASSAN BEN ALI

Miss Irene Langford, the grand
opera prima donna, has hit upon an
appropriate name for the new style
handbag, heretofore nameless, which
women wear sIung over their Shout
der. Immediately it came into vogue
recently, Miss LangfOrd recalled that
while the effect is brand new here
it is centuries old in Morocco, where
she has travelled extensively, and
therefore she decided to give 1t an
appellation beftting It's origin.
Thereupon she named 1t the HAS
san Ben Ali" bag after the foremost
Arab in the United States who for
years has been exhibiting troupes of
acrobats and tumblers throughout
the country.
In Morocco, Miss LangfOrd point
ed out, the Arabs have nc pockets in
their TUNES, blouses or pantaloons
and never did have so far as can be
remembered. Instead, the men as
well as the women have worn bags
Blung over their shoulder just as
the women here are doing now, and
in these they keep everything that
others ordinarily carry in their
pockets.
The Arabs take great pride In
these bags. which are made of leath-
er and for the most part are works
of art. Those that can afford it have
them Of expensive soft leather with
artistic designs of an oriental char
acter interviewer on both sides and
often studded with costly jewels.
The lower classes have them decor
ated with beads.

u. S. STEEL IN
BARGAIN DEAL
Panic Purchase in Tennessee
Land Was a Plum.

New York, Aug. &c. P. Perrin, ont
of the board of engineers that estlmat-
ed the value of the iron ore and Goa.
property of the Tennessee Coal and
Iron company at the time 1t was taken
over by the United States Steel corpor.
alton, the steel trust, testified before
the congress committee Investigating
the acts of the steel trust that at the
time Of the merger the Tennessee com
pany owned 70 per cent of all of the
iron ore In what is known as the Biz
mingham district. Perrin hung a map
on the wall, displaying that entire dis
trict, 118 by 125 miles, one of the
richest pieces of coal and iron land In
the world.
The committee heard that in 1904
the Tennessee Coal and Iron company
had In iron ore Alp, T98,50O tons and
that its coal possessions amounted to
1,623,639, 500 tons. They heard that in
the territory that lay south of the Ohio
river the steel corporation could not
afford to compete, because in the
Birmingham region the cost Of produc.
ton was about 81 a ton less than In
P~ittsburg. One witness told the COM
mittee that 1t would take q hundred
years at the present rate to exhaust
the deposit.
The chief witness was Charles P.
Perrin, who, like the other two, was a
member of a board of engineers en-
ployed In 1904 by the Tennessee Coal
and Iron Company, the sloss-shefheld
Steel and Iron company, the Republic
iron and Steel company, the futwiler
Coal, Coke and Iron company and the
Woodward and Falcon Ore companies.
These concerns, which owned property
in the ore district of Alabama, were
contemplating a merger which never
merged. But the report was made just
the same, and it was upon the basis
Of this that the Tennessee Coal and
Iron syndicate was formed, Of which
Leonard @. Hanna and Grant B.
schley were managers.
From the map which he brought and
which he used to illustrate to the com
mitteemen, Mr.. Perrin pointed out that
the railroad in Jones valley running
from northeast to southwest divided
the ore and the coal. In the Tennessee
Coal and Iron there was @ higher per
centage Of first class ores than In the
property of any of the other com
panies. Then Mr.. Perrin gave his es-
Inmates of the deposits.
And what percentage Of the depos-
Its In that entire region would you say
belonged to the Tennessee Coal aud
IronT asked Chairman Stanley.
About 10 per cent" was the an
swer
Asked to give an estimate of the
value of the property as compared
with others of a similar nature brought
this reply:
81 should consider 1t the greatest
property in the world" said the en-
gineer, "but n requirin, great cap
ital and high skill In development"
The appliances now In use, he said,
made 1t possible for three or four men
to produce 200 to 400 per cent Of what
twenty-five men could produce ten
years ago.

that the selection OF San Francisco
i the site for the Panama Pacific ex-
! nosition in 1915 has ended all possible
nroyocation Of Japan to war by the
california legislature is the belief at
ne state capitol. Legislators are a
INIT in declaring that further agita-
lion Of anti-Japanese measures would
q suicidal as far as the war is con-
cerned and they agree that all efforts
must be bent to making the exposition
success.
whereas bills against Japanese
awning land and restricting their
business operations in California, and
resolutions petitioning congress to
atom Japanese immigration into the
SIrnited States were introduced in
both houses Of the legislature before
congress decided the fair site, a dis
Greet silence reigns now.
sWar talk said a leading legisla.
tor today, would prevent scores Of
Investments in and about San Fran
cisco. 1t would almost stop pros
pective concessionaries exhibitors
and others from making arrangements
with the fair committee. 1t would
make the Pacific ocean, which will be
the theatre of great commerce with
the opening Of the Panama canal
unsafe for shipping. It would cause
Japan, and probab.y China, not to say
England, to refuse to begin prepare
tons for national exhibit at San
Francisco
Fully aware of this, the business
men of California have made strenu-
Gus representations to organized la
Dor and to those legislators who
speak for labor at the capito of the
necessity of preventing even the in
PRODUCTION Of further anti,Iapanese
legislature. Apparently they have
succeeded, for there is a decided stop
in the flow of such measures.
However, much will depend on the
development of the labor situation in
San Francisco, the center of union
labor, and Los Angeles, the center of
the open shop IN California. If labor
should feel its strength slipping away
from it because of the fair, it may
revolt. What business seeks most, is
to keep such matters quiet until after
the present session of the legislature
is over.
