EPOCH-MAKING STEEL
DISCOVERY ANNOUNCED
New Method of Production May
Reduce Price to One third
of Present Rates.

London. March 26.-The announce
ment is made to-day Of what In we'll
Informed quarters is thought may prove
an epoch-making invention in the steel
trade. II is alleged that n process has
been discovered for converting iron ore
Of any grade (even the hitherto quite
useless iron sands. Of which hundreds Of
millions Of tons exist ready for worklng)
into steel of excellent quality without
the aid Of blast furnace. the steel
being produced direct I'm a single opera
tion.
Tests have already been made Of the
steel go produced at an experimental
plant. and the results obtained are
something quite remarkable. BY the
new process the saving will be enor-
NOUS. In the first place no blast fur
noce Is required, and therefore no coke.
which means an initial enormous saw
ing Of capital expenditure as we'll as
economy In production. while ores
can be used which at the present time
have no market value whatever.
The ore is reduced by heat obtained
from n gas, which in It's turn is pro-
duced from slack. II is claimed that
steel can be made at one-third OF its
present cost.

Won't Permit Table Sales.

After calling the attention of the
Commissioner TO the law. which saws
that no entrance door to any room or
rooms where any liquors are sold or
kept for sale shall be open or un-
! locked after ! o'clock. he went on TO
declare that the place where the liquor
| is sold is the table where IL is served
and paid for. No more will the dodge
OF permitting patrons to stock up with
liquor before | o'clock and stay as long
as they please TO drink IL work. If the
patrons do not leave the places by
! o'clock 1t Will be the duty Of the Com
missioner to have them driven out.
The Mayor orders the Commissioner
TO have policeman go to each place
at five minutes before closing time on
and after April l. stand on table or
chair, If necessary. and announce that
every one must be in the street by
1 o'clock.
There are now forty-six places hold
Ing all night licenses. which are re-
voked after April /. In the list sent to
Commissioner Waldo are such we'll
known and high class places as Shan
ley's. Murrays, Louis Martins, the
Martinique and the Hotel McAlpin.
In July, 1910. Mayor Gaynor revoked
forty seven all night liquor permits,
which had been issued by his Bureau
of Licenses under new law, which
made the Mayor the sole judge of such
places. Under the old law the Police
Commissioner investigated all such APP
pIications, and if he passed favorably
upon them the Mayors clerk issued
the licenses as Il matter Of form. I'm
reality what is done now is to have the
Mayor issue a permit, upon which the
State Excise Department issues the all
night license, but the responsibility Is
the Mayors.
| At the time the Mayor revoked the
forty seven licenses there were thirteen
others in force, issued on the 30. r..
of the Police Commissioner Some or
the latter were later revoked. AT that
time the Mayor announced that In the
future 10 all night licenses would be
issued except to places where persons
who worked at night "legitlmately go
for meals and the like
"Drinking and GuzzIing."
| But many Of the licenses revoked
we're renewed, and the number out
standing gradually increased up to the
present time.
The new stand OF the Mayor. on
what he calls a pernicious evil. Is en-
bodied in the following letter to Com
