TO IMPORT IRON ORE.

| The statement is made i'll the dis
patches that the Bethlehem Steel Com.
pany has acquired in Chilli enormous
deposits Of high grade iron ore, com.
putcd at 500 10000 tons, and TO be
sufficient to supply the company FOR
sixty yeare This ore will he brought
to the compauy's works at Bethlehem
at tho rate of million tons year,
beginning two years hence. and the
shipments to increase as demands e1-
pand. There will be fleet Of vessels
operating through the Panama Canal
to transport this ore.
These facts were testified to by Of
6ccrs Of the Bethlehem Steel Company
at the hearing in New York on We'd
nesday in the dissolution suit against
the u, S. Steel Corporation
This important bit Of information is
| of the most remarkable kind. Natu-
rally large steel companies desire to
secure ample supplies of iron ore for
n long time in the future. Such
supplies are the very life of the com
panies, and without providing them,
all of their operations are insecure and
their business is on an uncertain foot
| ing. The Bethlehem Steel Company,
it appears, had no difficulties to face
in the way Of adverse legislation, court
prosecution, or anything of that kind,
in acquiring this immense ore supply
from Chill.
On the other hand, when the u. S.
Steel Corporation undertook to close a
contract, and did close a contract with
Mr.. James J. Hill, of the Northern
Pacific, for immense iron supplies from
Minnesota, the government Of the
United States interfered, and com
pelled the breaking off Of all negotia-
tions; and so the United States Steel
CORPORATION turned to the ore deposits
on the north of Lake Superior for an
ultimate recourse, and is undoubtedly
securing the world for an ore supply
for its great operations, that will not
be interfered with by any laws and
courts.
1t appears to be illegal for cor
poration in the United States TO Sc
cure large ore supplies for the future.
Such restrictions, however, do not pre-
vail elsewhere, and the great corpora
tions search the world over for the
immense available supplies Of raw ma
terial which they need, so situated
that the supplies can be economically
mined and transported. The sort Of
prosecutions that have been pushed in
the United States tend to drive Amer
lean capital and American industry
into foreign countries, and to mako
these the agencies for the development
Of foreign regions and the employ
ment of labor in these countries, to
the neglect of American labor and to
the neglect also of the development of
our own country.
And this sort of thing is admired
and is called Conservation!

II is stated that aigrettes will be

the wearers must lose them. But this
can hardly be. 1t is, of course, quite
proper for Congress to lay O heavy

portation Of aigrettes, but it is neither
right nor legal to confscate them. If
owners desire to pay the duty, it is
their right to pay it, and retain their

WOMAN SAYS SHE
IS DAUGHTER Of
LATE .TuRN0CK
Mrs. Lowell Parker of EIkhart
Sues for Third Interest in
S15O,000 Estate.

A situation, perhaps the most un-
usual to develop in the local courts
for years, has been revealed in the
effort to settle the affairs OF the es-
tate of the late Joseph Turnock,
prominent business man and civil was
veteran.
Mrs. Lowell Parker. Sc years old.
now residing in Elkhart, Ind, has
filed suit in the circuit court, asking
to be apportioned a share in the
Turnock estate, valued at approx
mately $150,000 equal to that Of
Nellie Booth, daughter. and Joseph
Brevere, a grandson OF the late buSi-
ness man.
Mrs. Parker claims to be the
daughter of Turnock and il is said
the latter recognizes her as such after
when she was 16 years old and for
years lived in New York, more re-
Gently moving to Elkhart.
Letters, photographs and other re-
membranes in which Turnock is said
TO have addressed Mrs. Parker as his
daughter, may be an important part
of the evidence in case the suit is
brought to trial. 1t is said that in
all ways Turnock treated the woman
as his daughter.
Had Turnock made a will disposing
Of his property, it is the opinion of
attorneys for Mrs. Parker that he
would have made provision for her
as daughter. But death came sud-
denly 60 him, and he had made no
provision for the disposition of his
estate. Turnock died of injuries sus-
tanned when his own automobile
started suddenly as he was cranking
the engine and hurled him against
an iron wire pole on the court house
square last summer,
The form of action filed by Mrs.
Parker's attorneys is a suit in parti-
ton. Mrs. Parker and the two de-
PENDANTS are Jointly entitled TO the
entire estate. according to the theory
of the complaint, which asks that the
property be sold and the proceeds be
divided equally among the three.
The Indiana statutes provide this
method of procedure in c&ses of chill
dren born out of wedlock whose par
entage is afterwards recognized.

SUGGEST SHOCK AS

Safety Board Instead of

Mayor-elect Keller's board OF pub
lie safety stole a march on his board
of public works Tuesday night and
Harry f. Josephson is to become the
successor of Wilson Snyder rather
than of Arthur p. Perley as previous
ly predicted. Josephson was being
considered by both boards. The
clerkship in either case draws $1,000
a year. Josephson, who is now dep
uty county recorder, rendered his
resignation to Recorder Lehman
Monday, to become effective the first
of the year.
The board of works has several
other applicants for clerk, but the
members decline to discuss names. 1t
has been decided to sever the clerk

sioners from that of the board of
works. and the superintendent of
parks will hereafter be required to
keep his own records. This means
$500 less per year for the clerk OF
the board and that much less work.
Clerk Rerley has been receiving
$1,000 annually from the two boards.

RED CROSS SEALS
TOTAL NEAT SUM
Sales Run $553.17 in South
Bend and County Makes 1t
$800-Exceed All Previous
Years.

The sale OF Red Cross Christmas
seals in St. Joseph county will far
exceed those of any previous year
By Wednesday noon in South Bend
alone the total sales were $553.17.
When Mishawaka and New Carlisle
have sent in their reports to the CEN
trail office the total will be raised to
something over $500, which is $500
above the mark set by the officers OF
the league as the amount to be rails
ed in the county this year.
Much OF the credit for the success
of the sale is due to Miss Louise
Studebaker, who took entire charge
of the city sales. 1t is the first time
the city work has had a manager and
the plan has justified itself.
The public in general, too, has re-
spOnded much better than ever be-
fore. People have seemed to have
a better understanding OF the work
and had bought the seals in prefer
ence to other Christmas stickers.
Sales in the individual stands have
shown a marked increase over those
of last year. At the Oliver hotel they
were more than doubled. This year
$16O.52 was made at that stand as
compared with $50 last year. At the
postoffice only s3S worth were sold
last year in contrast to $1,000 this.
In the factories this year $150.17 was
made last year only $70.5O
All the stands in the city will close
Wednesday evening at 9 o'clock. The
reports from Mishawaka and. New
Carlisle will probably not be in until
the FIRST OF next week, when complete
reports for the sale in the county
may be given. Seventy-f1ve per cent
of the money made in st. Joseph
county will remain here for county
work

GRAND TRUNK MAY
TAKE OFF TRAINS
Battle Creek and South Bend
Chambers of Commerce to
Protest Against Change of
Schedules.

Chambers Of Commerce of South
Bend and Battle Greek. and the busi-
ness mems associations of cities in
tervening, together with other COM
mercial organizations from Lansing
10 Chicago, are protesting to the
Grand Trunk Railway Co. against the
discOntinuance Of four of its trains,
Nos. 10 and 1e, and 27 and 2S, be-
ginning Jan. next. The discontin-
uance of trains 27 and 2S, are the
Onese that most concern South Bend
and Battle Creek, being local pas
sengers that connect the two cities.
The matter was first taken up by
the United Commercial Travellers as
sociation, with letters to Pres. Cham
berlain, of the Grand Trunk, at Mon
treal. and To the commercial organ
izatiOns.
Train No. q leaves Battle Creek at
O'Clock in thS morning, reaching
here at $3.50. and there is no other
train reaching here from the east un-
til IL a m. The plan Is 10 sl9et. u acn :, n
this train at Pavilion and send 1t up
to Kalamazoo. This would cut on
South Bends draft on the smaller
towns to the east of here.
Train No. % leaves here at 800 in
i'm the afternoon and stops at Battle
Creek at 6:25. These are the trains
that most concern South Bend, accord
ing 10 Secy MdiiiihS' u 'iS - - =
Cf Commerce, who has taken the
matter up. Train No. 10 goes west
through South Bend at 4:O1 a m. and
No. 16 goes east at LOO a. m. Both
being fast trains.
The Grand Trunks answer is that
the two local trains as at present run.
sre a losing proposition; that they
we're put on as summer trains orlgl-
nally. and intended more for lake re-
sort travel, and cannot be maintained
during the winter
