HOW TO CLEAN THE METALS
Use Sslt and Broken Eaa Shelia on
EnArnalsd Psna and Soda on
Galvanized saths.

Ennmeled pans should be stepped,
the scot removed and then washed
with hot water, any burned parts be-
ing removed by rubbing them with a
coarse flannel dipped In salt and
broken egg shells. Then rinse well
and dry both inside and out.
Galvanized baths and the ike
should be rinsed out with hot water
and soda directly after they are used.
To clean them thoroughly scrub we'll
with soap and water, to which soda
has been added: dry and then rub
with a piece Of house flannel dipped
first In parafin snd then In silver
sand or powdered bath brick until
bright. Rinse first IN hot and then In
cold water and allow to dry In a
draft IN order TO remove the smell
Of the perafHn.
Tin can be- cleaned with whiting
mixed to a stiff paste with water or
ammonia, but all the powder must
be brushed of when dry, Another
method IS to slice down thinly four
ounces OF yellow soap and pour over
one quart Of cold water. Allow this
to stand for a day In order to dissolve.
Then add a pound Of the best whit
ing, bring IL all TO a boiling point,
keeping 1t well stirred, so as to insure
all being properly mixed; then leave
It until cold. when two ounces OF
spirits OF hartshorn are added. Keep

ties.
Wash zinc thoroughly with warm
water. After rubbing 1t dry rub again
with a cloth dipped in either parafhn
or ~turpentine.

Tells How Half Million Was Drop.
ped Al He Describes Formation of
United States Steel Corporation.

WASHINGTON, May q. The
charge that President Roosevelt ~
buncoed by the steel manipulators
with fake statement that the alb
sorption OF the Tennessee Coal IL
Iron Co. by the steel trust would
avert a panic" whereas the deal had
no effect on the general public. was
made today by John w. Gates before
the Stanley committee OF the house OF
representatives, to which he gave
the inside story" OF that period Of
high finance. W.
The organization OF the gigantic
United States Steel corporation at an
al-night meeting OF J. Pierpont Nor
gan, Charles M. Schw<b and Gates at
Morgan's home In New York. was de-
scribed at length by Gates. He laugh
cd heartily as he told how w. n.
Moore and Henry G. Frick lost ST.
100000 to Andrew Carnegie in 1899,
In an attempt to organize a similar
concern
In 1896 and 1897 the price of steel
was pretty well demoralized." said
Gates. 1T was the general opinion
that the activities OF Andrew Car
negie and the Carnegie Steel Co. were
responsible for conditions. Frick and
Moore conceived the idea OF buying
Carnegie out, and they paid $1,000
900 for an option on the Carnegie
plant at price Of about 100000, 00O.
After holding II for time they were
forced TO forfeit the million and that
made them very sore.
In 1899 or 1900, Morgan organized
the National Tube Co. and was max
ing money manufacturing tubes. He
was then heavily interested In rail
reads Carnegie let II be known that
he proposed TO build a tube plant at
Ashtabula, Ohio, and to build a rail-
road that would roundup his various
Industrial plants and relieve him OF
the necessity OF paying freight rates
10 outside roads.
This made Morgan very nervous
and he called James J. Hill into con-
ference to find some way to prevent
Carnegie from carrying out his pro-
ject. They were afraid that Carnegie
would demoralize the railroad bust
ness as well as the steel situation.
Hill, who was very good friend
Of mine, suggested that ! might be
able to do something. Morgan declar'
ed that we were not on very good
/ terms, and asked Hill to come to me-
and try to arrange an interview. i
consented to an Interview and told
/ Morgan and Hill that there was only
one man who could take care of Car
negie. and that was Charles Schwab.
| had Schwab come TO New York, and
the tentative plan for the consolida-
ton OF the steel industry was evolved.
The scheme we evolved then was
the one put thte- effeet-the heidiHs
company scheme. Frick was sore be.
cause he had lost the option, and he
succeeded in making Carnegie insist
that the Frick concern, the National
Steel Co. be included under the bonds
given Carnegie. In this way, the Ma
tional Steel Co. received ten millions
more than II was worth when II WAS
taken over. Carnegie was paid about
$500. 000,0 for his share OF the Car
negie Steel Co.
Chairman Stanley developed by
questions that Carnegie owned about
60 per cent of the $76,000,000 OF the
Carnegie concern.
