Virtually Every Blast Fur mace and Steel Mill in the Country Working Day and Night and Demand Cannot Be Satisfied
NOT YET REACHED
 THE HEIGHT MARK
Experts Say Volume of Business, Both Domestic and Foreign, More Than Double What It Was One Year Ago
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPArcHl

| NEW YORK, oct. 2S.-So great has | been the general revival in the iron and steel trade in the Unted States, it 1 is said by authorities, that with cirtu ally every blast furnace and steel mill in the country working day and night to it's capacity, the demand for iron, steel and steel products cannot be satisfied. It is almost impossible to buy for immediate delivery pig iron, scrap or infots in any sizeable quan titles at any industrial plant. The re- vival began about the first of July and has been coming on rapidly with a del uge of orders since the middle of Au- gust and may not yet have reached it's height mark.
 Within these months the price of pig iron, long regarded as a barometer of trade, has increased approximately B per cent and that of steel and steel products. except steel rails, has gone up about 15 per cent. At the present time the demand for pig iron. for vari- ous lines of steel, is in excess of the producing capacity of the furnaces and mills O. the Unted States, reads the statement issued by Judge Ebert Gary, chairman of the United States Steel corporation. Experts who have fol- lowed the rising fortunes of irot and steel within the past twelve months have asserted that the volume of busi- ness, both domestic and foreign, is at present more than double what it was a year ago and that 175,00O men are employed in the iron and steel plants throughout the United States who were not on the payrolls a year ago. This is about fifty per cent increase.
 Manufacturers are unable to make deliveries entirely satisfactory to the purchasers with respect to a large ma 1or1ty of the different kinds of fin lshed steel" said Judge Gary.
 There is nothing to indicate that there will be decrease in the demand for any products for some time. While prices received are still low. they are lncreaslng and apparently will go high CT, so that fair and reasonable profits may be expected.
 Of course. these very satisfactor,. conditions are more or less affected bv the war business, so-called, yet it is uhdoubtedly-true that there is better feeling throughout the general iron and steel trade than has been experienced or some years.''
 Fires have been lighted in nearly every blast furnace in the Tinted states In the case of the stool corro ration, the last remaining idle furnace at Columbus. Ohio. is now being mt into operation To find a parallel for the greater activity of the iron and stool Taoe 1t is said, it is necessary to go

LONDON, oct. 28.-Outside of the German cficiaI dispatch. which records the advance of the Teutons, the cap ture by the Bulgarians of Zajecar and Knia jevats, both on the Timok river, northeast of NiSh and the heights of Pirot, directly east of Nish, there is lit tie authentic news of the invasion of Serbia. Tho danger spot for the Ser bians is in the northeast corner, where they are being attacked on three sides, ana eventually must fall back south east. The French, according to Ger man dispatches, have landed 150,O men in Saloniki, and one hundred guns. The whereabouts of the British rein forcements is a secret.
 Thus far the Serbians have been re- tiring in good order. Despite the seri- ousness of the situation, optimism pre- vails in Serbian quarters in London which is probably best able to judge the and Russians.

FRENCH CABINET
 HAS RESIGNED

PARIS, Oct. 2S.-The French cabinet, of which Rene Viviani was the head, has resigned. Aris- tide Briand has been asked to form a new cabinet. He had been unsuccessful up to a late hour. Political leaders lengthily discussed the retirement of Viviam and the reorganization of the cabinet, no defi- mite arrangement for which has been reached. The chamber of depu- ties, which was awaiting the appearance of the ministry, adjourne e d without making any for maj announcement.
 There have been ru- mors since the resigna- tiOn of Foreign Minister Delcasse of important changes. The with drawal of Viviani was surprising, as his min istry had received a vote of confidence from the chamber recently by a large majority. One eX- planation is that Viviani had overtaxed his strength by his stren- uous services in connec- tion with the war.

LATE ACTION 0F MESA CLUB
 PLOTTED OUT
Commercial Club, After a Heated Debate, Adopts Motion Resembling Tues day Night Action Favor ing Recall of Gov. Hunt
Special to The Republican1

MESA, Oct 2S.-The Mesa Com mercial club tonight rescinded the action of the club on Tuesday night in adopting a resolution favoring the recall of Governor Hunt, after lengthy and heated debate. The resembling motion was introduced by County Supervisor w. K. Bowen in the following language; T move that the action taken on Tuesday night in favor of the recall of Gov ernor Hunt through a resolution read, las a commercial body. be rescinded."
 The offer of the motion was fol- lowed by a debate in which the mover, Attorney M. J. Dougherty, Senator Stapley, pr. J. E. Nelson and others took part.
 The proponents of the motion did not touch upon the merits of the movement for the recall of the gov ernor; no defense of him was made but it was cOntCnded that the reso- lution of Tuesday night was in vio- lation of the bylaws of the club which forbid action on political or partisan questions.
 The opponents of the motion took the ground that the proposed action against the governor was for the bet
 
 whole state and it was for such ob- jects that the club had been organ ized. They said that such a con- struction of the bylaws has had been offered in support of MT. Bowens motion would debar the club from participation in practically all public affairs. It was recalled that the club had endorsed Mir Bowen for to the board of super visOrs and that then the club had violated it's bylaws if it had done so by it's action last Tuesday night.
 The motion was carried by a rising vote, fourteen members in the af- firmative, and it was declared car ried, though by a narrow margin. The attendance was about as large as that of last Tuesday night. The personnel was only slightly different.

 A panic seized a large number near the front door. In the rush to escape they lost their footing and the many bodies blocked the exit Most of the dead were found there The sisters all escaped. The Mother Superior was seriously burned, and is expected to recover. although prOstrated by the disaster The origin of the fire is mystery.
 The theory that the fire was caused by a boiler explosion was dis missed. The police are of the opinion that the store room in the basement. where the gas meter was located was the, source. Tardy pu- pills smelled smoke and reported this to the Mother Superior. The children had just finished the morning prayer. The gong sounded for the fire drill and Mother Marie hurried to tell the sisters of the actual danger.
 The movement for the fire drill was quickly started. Recently in emptied in two minutes. It would

Many jumped from the windows into the coats of the fire men and bystanders.
 Those on the lower floor dropped safely to the ground. From the sec ond floor most of the children. su- pervised by the sisters, jumped into the coats of firemen and bystanders,

That Fay completed three steel shells with springs and clock work mechanism ready for attach ment to a vessel and had the ex- plosives prepared for places in shells was explained by the police in an swer to questions as to whether ar rests of Fay and Walter Scholz, his brother in-law. had not been made before sufficient evidence had been obtained against other persons.

ASSOCIATED PRESS D1sPArcH1

NEW YORK, Oct. 2S.-Testimony of the political activities of the New Haven in the Connecticut and Rhode Island legislatures to prevent the con- .struction of competitive trolley lines. introduced a new and sensational chapter of the story of how the New Haven acquired it's alleged monopo- listic grip of the transportation traf- fife of New England. as presented by the government trial of the eleven former directors under the sherman law
 Charles Mellen identified the docu- mentary evidence introduced by the government in an effort to show that the New Haven brooked no compe- tition from any source. It consisted almost entirely of correspondence written by John Hall, vice president of the New Haven. A score of let ters were put into the evidence re- vealing that in 1896 the New Haven was threatened by a proposition to connect trolley roads into a through line between New York and Spring field. Hall wrote: Wherever electric roads are projected, we should be found opposing them The defense constantly objected to the reading of the letters, on the ground that the indictment did not charge the New Haven with the matter of legislative activity.
 I think when the time is fixed we ought to be ready to have music by a full band. wrote Hall to Henry Robin son of Hartford, Conn, in January, 1907, requesting him to use his efforts in the Connecticut legislature to pre- vent a repeal of the law which hindered trolley lines from building their routes paralleled to railroad lines
