Books on May 81.

\ decrease of g7s,9OS tons in the I'M
filled orders on the books of the United
States Steel Corporation on May 81 was
shown by the monthly statement issued
yesterday The total OF untitled orders
amounted to 3,S9s,160 tons. compared with
i,277, O6S tons on April 30, 4,6oS,s25 tons on
March 81, 5,026,44O tons on February Is.

tons.
The loss in last months untitled tonnage
was slightly less than had been predicted
by financial and trade publications. The
orders on the books of the Corporation
at the end Of May. however, were smaller
than at any time since November, 1911,
having shown an almost steady decline
since December 81. 1912. when the books
showed nearly 100000 tons Of orders.
j. c. Mabon. president OF the S!oss-
Sheffield Steel and Iron Company, de-
clared yesterday that conditions were
bad in the iron and steel industry, and
undoubtedly would remain SO throughout
the summer.
In the fall" he added, I'VE Will un-
doubtedly have a rally in all kinds OF
business, no matter what happens. but
in The event OF the election Of a Re
publican Congress business should be
good. Merchants in the South are De-
ginning to complain bitterly about the
state Of business, and blame Washington
more than anything else for the depres-
sion. They say that Washington has
caused it and Washington will have TO
relieve the situation"
The Iron Age" will say to-day: Eli
couragement has come to the steel trade
from several directions in the past week
There have been orders for 1900 cars,
bringing more than 10000 tons OF plates
and shapes to Pittsburgh and Chicago
mills; more pipe line business than IN
any week in months. and a good increase
in bar buying and inquiry from imple-
ment manufacturers. These and other
elements are back OF the belief now eA-
pressed that the expected turn has come
The Iron Trade Review" says: Some
breaks in the dam of accumulated needs
which buyers of iron and steel products
have built up in recent months are De-
ginning to appear, leading to some mai
cations that June may mark the De-
ginning of a period of genuine improve
ment. Actual buying has increased, and
there is a heavy inquiry in most lines OF
finished steel, especially for delivery over
the last six months of the year, including
the farm implement manufacturers, VINO
are asking for large tonnages OF steel
bars for shipment after July !.
New orders by the Steel Corporation
thus far this month are running about
900 tons a day ahead Of May.
Pig iron buying continues on heavier
scale. but still is spotted, some districts
showing up better than others"

Lasted, Say Witnesses.

An indictment was found yesterday by
the grand jury which has been inquirinS
into conditions in the workhouse Al

ton, and Florence Smith and May Nor
ton. former inmates of the workhouse.
Some Of the witnesses who have already
appeared were women who were said TO
have acted as runners for DR.. Baxter
Upon their admission to the workhouse
women were assigned TO the top tier. II
is ALLEGED that the women runners would
seek an opportunity to 90 through the
top tier and make the acquaintance or
the new prisoners. one who had plenty
OF money would be advised, II is said
that she could have herself committed to
the infirmary for a sum ranging from 50
10 SIS
Explicit instructions were given 10 those
. who accepted the offer, IL is said, as TO
the symptoms they should simulate when
taken before the physician the following
morning. Their recovery is said TO have
depended absolutely upon the length OF
their purses AS long as their money held
out they could command the comparative
luxuries OF the infirmary. but once the
money had given out their cure was COM
plete.
1t was said yesterday that one OF the
women subppnaed by Assistant District
Attorney De Ford was of good family.
She became addicted to the drug habit,
however and was so changed that her
friends were scarcely able TO recognize
her. When sent 10 the workhouse to en-
able her to recover. she is said TO have
found little difficulty in obtaining drugs.
Information has been received by Com
missioner Davis that DR.. Baxter lived the
life of a man of considerable means. He
is said to have had an automobile. couh-
try house and a place in Florida. COM
missioner Davis did not investigate the
reports as, even if true, they were not
discriminating. The salary OF resident
