Jackson, Miss. March 24.-(Special)-
Agents of the Black Hand or similar or
ganizations, were quite busy in jackson
yesterday and last night. Chief of Police
Barr, who has been making life a burden
for the lawbreakers during the past sew
eral weeks, received the following un-
signed letter through the mail;
You are hereby notified that you stand
in danger of losing your job and also
your life by such business as you and
Brother Taylor are putting on in this city.
So no more warning to you and Brother
Taylor"
This Is an extract from the letter. The
Brother Taylor referred to is the mayor
OF the city. Neither of these officers ap-
pear to be in the least alarmed and
are pursuing the even tenor of their way
A warning" printed on red paper with
white border and type, gummed like a
postage stamp on the reverse side, was
found posted all over the town today
Telephone telegraph, electric light end
other poles, street corners, doors and pub
lie buildings were ornamented with these
little red stickers. They read as follows.
warming: Illinois Central trains will
be wrecked. passengers will be killed be-
cause broken down engines and cars are
in service. If you do not want to be
killed. keep off the Illinois Central and
Hartman lines. Big strike on"
OF course nobody has paid any atten-
ton to these notes of warning and no
diminution of railroad travel on the roads
mentioned has been noted here. However
the authorities of Jackson would like to
know who posted the notices. 1t is sup
posed that If they were posted in Jackson
they are also to be found in every other
town touched by these roads in the eoun-
try. If so. somebody has spent a whole
lot of money having them printed and

TAKE UP CIVIL
SERVICE PROBLEM

Washington, March 94--The problem of
providing civil service examinations for
the thousands of fourth-class postmas-
ters placed under the classified service
by executive orders, was taken up at a
conference at the postoffce department
today. Postmaster General Burleson.
Assistants Roper and Dockery, several
minor postoflce department officials and
Civil Service Commission McIlhenny
went over the situation. Tests will be
framed by the department and the civil
service commission jointly, and will be
submitted to President Wilson for his
approval. The order for the examina-.
tion would have to come from the Presi-
dent.
The department officials are finding
considerable difficulty In arriving at a
basis for tests, which would ensure the
securing of competent men and at the
same time not be so difficult as to
frighten off applicants.

which is In this country, and which only
requires a cheap method of extracting the
potash to render them available for fer
tilizer purposes.
There Is, says the bulletin, in the Stag
produced at steel works an immense
amount of heat energy which is daily
wasted. As the Stag flows like syrup from
the furnaces and converters at a tempera-
ture of 1900 degrees c., it is in excellent
condition for dssolving either sliceous
or basic minerals. 1t was with view to
utilizing this amount of waste energy to
convert the phosphoric acid and potash
OF phosphorites, phosphate limestone and
fedspar into available form that the ex-
periments were undertaken.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-03-25
Results of Experiments

The bulletin then gives the results of va
rious experiments of different slags and
minerals. The results of these expert
ments leads it to declare that the cost of
the manufacture of Stag containing both
potash and phosphoric acid would be but
little greater than the actual cost of the
raw materials plus the freight, and of
course without imperilng the quality of
the steel made or the quantity produced.
AS in this process the feldspar and phos-
phorus rock is added 20 The molten Stag.
They figure the cost of one ton of such
Stag would be about 81 49, The price of
mixed fertilizer having the composition
per cent of phosphoric acid, 2 per cent
of ammonia and per cent of potash, va
ries from SIS to $40 a ton. If such fer
tilzer be made up of the most costly ma
terials the market value of the phosphoric
acid, potash and nitrogen contained there
in is about $11 %, leaving a surplus of
s7.7S for fixed charges and freight and to
cover the cost of the filler. On the whole
they see reasonable profit to the steel
companies in the use Of their Stag in this
way, and thus change a constant expense
into a dividend producer.

High in Phosphorus

In foreign countries, particularly Ger
many where the iron ores used are nigh
in phosphorus and the basic Bessemer
process for the manufacture of steel Is
largely used, the Stag produced is rich
in phosphoric acid and therefore finds
ready market as fertilizer.
The iron ores used in this country
however, with the exception of some
found in Alabama, are very low in phos-
phorus and consequently give slags con-
tanning as rule considerably less than !
per cent of phosphoric acid.
The three processes chiefly used in this
country for the manufacture of steel are
the acid open hearth method, the basic
open hearth method and the acid Besse-
mer process. The basic Bessemer process,
which was devised for the purpose of
handling ores high in phosphorus, is but
little used in the United States
1t is only by the two basic processes
that phosphorus is eliminated from the
iron. These processes depend on the ad-
diton of large quantities of lime or lime
stone to Stag off the impurities Lime,
having a great affinity for phosphorus,
seizes this element. producing highly
basic phosphate compounds of solid sold
tions.
There are thousands upon thousands of
tons of this basic Stag produced annually
at Ensley and Alabama City, and Its

able for, use in this country. 1t consists
OF adding lime to the converter at two
stages of the blow. The first Stag run
off contains a very high percentage of
phosphorc acid sometimes as high as "A
per cent?, while the Stag produced from
the second addition of lime is used over
again in reducing the next charge of iron

plan which could no doubt be economically
