CLEARING MYSTERY
 OF OVER 25 YEARS

Pulaski, Tenn, March 9.-(Special.)--A great mystery of many years standing Is about to be cleared up. About 25 years ago Claiborne Thomas, who lived five miles south of Pulaski, without foreword or warning, left his wife and children. He was about 4S years old at the time and nothing was heard of him until worn came that a Claiborne Thomas had died two years ago in Quitman county, Mis- sissippi, leaving property valued at $S0O0. He had no heirs at the place of his death and left no will. The estate was taken in charge by the civil authorities in that county, and B. M. Ross named as execu- tor. Corroborative photographs showing family characteristics of the Thomas fam fly excited suspicion that perhaps the men were one and the same. Executor Ross and the Quitman county attorney have just left here. after taking deposit tons to establish family connection. MT. Dee Lewter relative of Huntsville, Ala, being thoroughly convinced, having bought the interest of some of the heirs, and employed F. w. Crowell and Stewart Wilkes, local lawyers, to represent him.

IRON MARKET WAS
 STRONG AND STEADY
ORDERS ARE NOT EVENLY DIS- TRIBUTED BUT THE INCREASE IN THEM WAS INDEED MOST ENCOURAGING

New York, March 19.-Orders for fn- ished steel products were not evenly dis- tributed last week and the railroads placed few important contracts for equip ment, giving the impression of reaction Tn the iron trade hardly warranted by the facts. The most encouraging feature was the placing of increased tonnage of structural steel orders, plain and fabri- cated; but three-fourths of the business went to the Steel corporation mills and fabricating shops. The largest local con- tracts were placed late in the week.
 Total fabricated contracts last week called for 2OO00 tons steel shapes.
 The principal rail contracts were 10000 tons for the Great Northern and 5000 tons for the Chicago and Northwestern. The Illinois Centra lordered 40 locomotives and the American Locomotive company Is to build five mallets for export to the Some small rail orders were placed for export to Brazil and bridges for a Chinese railroad.
 The Steel corporation put in one more blast furnace at Gary on Saturday, hav- ing 70 per cent of capacity active and two more are about to go in at Pittsburg. The finishing mills are operating 40 to 90 per cent, the greatest activity being in tin plate and wire products. but steel tubes are also gaining. Total shipments of finished products are exceeding the daily February rate by the corporation suh- salaries.
 iron in all districts aggregated 100000 tons.
 Many small eastern consumers ordered foundry grades for early shipment but no large smeters were in the market. The close was quiet with an easier undertone and more irregularity in prices.

CANNOT REFUND
 FERTILIZER TAGS

Montgomery, March 1s.-(Special.)- )-At- torney General R. c. Brickell has submit ted an opinion to Capt. Reuben F. Kolb, commissioner of agriculture and indus tries, in regard to the refunding of fer tilizer tags destroyed in fire.
 Captain Kolb's communication to the at torney general followed upon letter which the former received to the effect that s465 worth of fertilizer tags had been destroyed in fire which occurred at the plant of the Reed Phosphate company of Nashville, Tenn The Reed Phosphate company wanted to know whether other tags would be issued in place of those de- stroyed or whether their equivalent would be refunded in money.
 The attorney general ruled that the destruction of these tags was loss to the Reed company. inasmuch as the state agricultural department was not author ized under the law to either issue other tags or to refund the money which had been paid for them.
