City Vote in Montgomery Heaviest in Years-County Gives Wilson in NeighbOrhood of 5000
 Majority

Montgomery, November 6.-(Specia1)- his election to the presidency were sent today by various heads of the state gov ernment. The first telegram sent to the President-elect was by Superintendent of Education Henry J. Willingham, who sent a message of congratulations late Teus- day night, when Wilson's success was assured
 You have my best wishes and the l country my congratulations said Su- perintendent Willingham in hisN telegram to Governor Wilson.
 In addition to this message of congrat- ulation other individual telesrams were sent to the President-elect by officials and residents of Montgomery. Following these telegrams various state 1 officials at the capitol joined togethe.. in a body this morning and sent the following message to Governor Wilson:
 We congratulate you and felicitate the nation on your triumphant elevation to the presidency of the United States. Your elevation means the vindieation of dem- oeratic ideals and the supremacy of pa triotic governmental principles.
 "The indestructible southern solidarity that has stood infiexibly by the democ- racy in success and defeat, proudly pro- claiming that it will not be discouraged, rejoices that after many years of repub- lican misrule your administration means that the individual hope, energy and am- bition of even the humblest citizen may achieve fruition in success, happiness and prosperity
 Superintendent of Education H. J. Will lingham did not join with the officials in sending the above telegram, announce ing that he had previously sent his con- gratulations to Governor Wilson.
 The democratic success on Tuesday was the chief topic of conversation at the capitol today, officials as a whole re- Governor Wilson.
 All Returns Not Received
 Montgomery county gave probably the largest ma jority in her history to Wilson and Marshall. While there was not the least doubt that the democrats would win by an overwhelming vote, it was not anticipated that the vote would be so large. The county gave Wilson in the neighborhood of 5000 votes, Roosevelt 110 Taft AZ and Debs 17.
 The city vote was one of the heaviest in years, Wilson receiving a majority of 2200.
 Incomplete returns received in Mont gomery early this morning indicate that only one county in the state is in doubt Winston. This county has been reputr lican stronghold for a number of years, and returns indicate that the vote will be close between Roosevelt and Wilson, with the progressive probably leading. Every other county in the state went democratic. Wilson's majority will be close to S0000.
 The closest contest for congressman was in the Seventh district, where Con- gressman John l.. Burnett had two oppo- nents. Returns indicate that his victory is assured.
 F The constitutional amendment to abol- sh the fee system in Jefferson county carried by a large majority, the entire state favoring the change.

Cleveland, O., November 6.-(Spesial.)- The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say:
 Manufacturers of finished material ac- cept results of the presidential election with confidence that there is no imme- diate danger of reversal of business con ditions. While some revision of the tariff will probably come in time, it is believed that prosperity is assured for at least year and probably for much longer. Buying by large consumers of finished material for third and fourth quarter continues, but 1t is by no means general, because sellers are not willing to take business beyond the first quarter next year, excepting the very desira5le ton- nages of largest buyers. Unified tonnage of the Steel corporation for October will show an inerease approximately half a million tons.

PIG IRON BUYING GOOD

New York, November 6-CSpecial.) l.)-The Iron Age will say tomorrow with the election over, opinion in the steel trade is just what 1t has been in the months in which a change of administration has been considered foregone-that the out come will not disturb the status of shy part of the enormous tonnage now on the books of producers.
 October was a record breaking month, both in production and shipments, yet the steel corporations statement for De- tober 31, to be published this week, will show a further increase in orders.
 Both in pig iron and steel ingots nearly all steel companies reached new high points in output last month.
 More pig ircn was made in October than in any S1 days in the history of the in- dnstry- Our returns show a total of D. 6s9.933 tons or s6,772 tons a day, against 2,f63s39 or S212S tons a day in September Fifteen furnaces were added to the &C., tive list in October.
 Pig iron production is now at the re- nlarkable rate of 32, 600 900 tons a year. The previous high rate was 31.eO0,OOo tons in February, 1910
 No fewer than 46,0O0 cars are reported pending. For the past week the con- tracts, so far as made public, were for TOGO.
 Since November 1 fully 75,000 tons of plates, shapes and bars have been placed with two large companies for car con- struction. Steel making pig iron has been sther more active. One steel company has bought 3O.ooO tons of Bessemer and 29,OO0 tons of basic at ST and SIG respec- lively, Valley furnace.
 Foundry iron buying has slackened. but sellers are still marking up prices, which in some districts have reached a level not likely to encourage free contracting.
 Lake superior ore prices for 1913 may be esta ablished by general selling by another week. Already reservations have been made covering a good part of the Besse- mer ore production. Buyers expect 0 pay an advance of 50 cents; it may go to 70 cents.

MEN DENY
VIOLATION OF Law
FIVE ANSWERS FILED BY THIRTY.
THREE DEFENDANTS.
Rockefellers Deny Part in Formation o.
Steel Trust-Carnegie Co. Not in
Restraint of Trade.

Trenton, N. J.-Absolute denial Of
alleged violations of the antitrust law
is made by the United States Steel
Corporation, its subsidiaries and direc-
tors, in their answers filed in the United
States district court here, to the gov
ernment's dissolution suit. Five sep
arate answers are filed among thirty
three defendants.
The effect of it's organization, the cor
poration declares, has been to cheaper
production, effect economies and increase
foreign trade from $751; 900, 900 to $50, OOO,-
600 annually within ten years. So long
has the government acquiesced in its
existence, the answer says, that it is now
too late, as a matter of equity, to insist
that its organization is illegal.
Nothing was withheld from President
Roosevelt by Messrs. Gary and Frick,
on Nov 4, 1907, the answer says, when
they proposed purchase of the Tennes.
see Coal, Iron and Railroad Company,
nor were the so-called Gary dinners pro-
ductlve OF agreements to regulate
prices.
The answers made public are those OF
the steel corporation. Andrew Carnegie,
John d. Rockefeller, ST., John D. Rookie.
Teller, Jr, and Edmund c Converse. The
Rockefellers make a joint answer.
The Messrs. Rockefeller deny they had
an active part in the formation or man
agement Of the corporation, the elder
Rockefeller declaring that he has had
no immediate relation to the iron or
steel business since 1901.
Mr.. Carnegie says he had no part in
the plans for organizing the corpora
ton and no voice direct or advisory, in
its management. He admitted selling
the Carnegie Steel Company to the
United States Steel Corporation, but
denies that the acquisition by the Car
negie company of it's subsidiaries was in
restraint of trade.
The answer of Edmund G. Converse, a
director of the United States Steel Cor
poration, is similar to the corporation't
answer.

to Dispense With Buildings and

Washington.-Therc will be no ap.
preparations for battleships or public
buildings at this session of congress.
This was the decision of the Democrats
OF the house after a special caucus.
Elimination of a battleship a%ppropria-
ton was a surprise, the caucus having
been called to consider a SIG, 0 900
p9Jlic building bill recommended by the
committee on public buildings and
grounds. Representative Burnett of Ala
bama, however, offered an amendment
to a resolution to dispense with the pub
lie buildings bill that no battleship ap-
preparation be reported to the house.
representative Hobson of Alabama
headed a bitter attack On the amend
ment, but it was passed, 90 to 6S.
The saving resulting from this &C
ton Of the caucus is estimated by the
Democratic leaders to aggregate about
$4,000 900, $4,000, 900 to be required
Tor two modern battleships and $16,-
.Oop, 900 for public buildings. In the case
of public buildings, however, there may
bq some appropriation for emergencies.
After the ca ucus it was declared that

pfiation was forced by members who
