trip and worry over the search for
their lost son, Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel

peared last May. There was happy
family reunion at the house. Mrs.
Whitman was unable longer to en-
dure the trying experience and to-
day was confined to her room, the
excitement having all but shattered
her nerves.
The boy was forgiven for his es
capade and told again the story OF
his unexpected departure on ves-
sci South, his work in Galveston and
his return home to find his parents
had started for Texas to locate him.
Mr.. Whitman and his son were out
today and Mrs. Whitman could not
be seen. When young Whitman
found his home closed last Monday
night he went to the residence OF
Mrs. Harrison T. Crawford, who at
once sent kilograms to head off the
parents in Texas.
Owing to washouts on the railroads
due to the cloudburst which devas-
tated sections of the Lone Star
State Mr.. and Mrs. Whitman had
many delays, but the kilograms final
ly reached them, and without delay
they decided to return home at once
to rejoin their only child.

ORDERS FOR j. s.
GET PRECEDENCE
AT STEEL PLANT
Harrison Works Busy Night
and Day on War Mu-
nitions.

That the needs of Uncle Sam in the
matter of munitions are being well
looked after by the Federal govern
ment is we'll attested at the works of
the Crucible Steel Company, in Har-
risoh' IL Is true that orders for con-
siderable foreign work have been
booked by the company. but the
orders for the United States war and
navy departments are given prece-
aenee over all other business that
the Crucible concern receives.
In TACT, 1t is stated on good au-
lhorlty that the company has not yet
begun to execute any of the
European orders at all, and will not
Go any work upon the munitions for
the allies until all shells, projectiles
and shield plates desired by Uncle
sam shall have been turned out.
The works are among the busiest
IN the country. Every available man
Is being employed, and the big fac
tories are running tWenty-four hours
a day, three shifts of men being
daily pressed into service. Many of
the overseers and expert employees
are doing double duty because it is
not easy to get men to relieve them.
Some of them, while appreciating the
extra pay are eager, nevertheless
for a let-up in the rush of war
orders, but the prospects are that the
pressure will not be much relaxed
tor many months.
Every effort is being made to
hasten the construction of the half
dozen huge buildings which the COM
pany is adding to its present large
plant, and it is understood that when
they are erected the work of turning
out the several million dollars worth
of foreign orders will be actively en-
tered upon, and Harrison will vie
with Pittsburgh.
1t is also said. that in the new Sec
ton of the plant many skilled work.
ers from the United States arsenal at
Rock Island, ILL.,, will be engaged
with the e press or implied consent
of the war department in order to
further the production of a great
quantity of munitions for the home
government, while the European
governments will have a number of
special representatives looking after
their interests.
Apart from the fifteen private de-
tectives there are about seventy
watchmen looking after the plant.
each giving eight hours of service
during the twenty-four. No explo-
sives are used at the plant, all the
filling of shells and projectiles being
done at the United States arsenal
and proving ground at Indian Head
near Washington.

Three Young Irvington
Sleuths Recover Stolen
Rig Belonging to Newarker

The recovery of a stolen horse and
wagon yesterday is due to three lrv-
irgton boys. Russell Shipley, Will
lam Williams and Joseph Coffee, each
thirteen years old, all Of Maple ave-
nue., Irvington, saw two boys driving
wagon along Clinton avenue yester-
day. The trio asked for a ride.
Quizzed by young Shipley, the youth
full driver said he was going to New
ark and that the rig had been found
in some woods. Shipley was then
handed the reins and the pair jumped
off.
The Irvington lads drove to the po-
lice station. The Newark police were
notified and 1t was found that a rig
of the same description had been
stolen in this city. Sergeant William
Bennett and John Workman, of 176
Oliver street, went to Irvington,
where Workman identified the prop
erty as his own.
