the Kings flourished.
Elder Thomas King came from Eng
land to the Plymouth colony in the ship

landing of the "Mayflower." Samuel
Hinge was another immigrant ances-
tor. His daughter Mary married John
Gardiner, the third lord of the manor
of Gardiner Island. Among Kings of
an early day who were men of af-
fairs, may be mentioned William King
and William Rufus King. The former
was the first governor of Maine: his
statue may be seen in the Capitol at
Washington. During Pierce's admins
tration William Rufus King was Vice
President of the United States. Sam

Commodore Lawrences wounds when
the commodore spoke his last words.

Representatives OF the family were
in the French and Indian wars and in
the war for independence.

One theory regarding the origin OF
the name is that some one who took
the character of a king in one of the
old mystery plays eventually adopted il
as his own. 1t is not likely that it was
derived from civil dignity. Prince.
Duke, Marquis and the like are some
times quite as well known as King, and
are supposed to have had similar ORR
gin. Whatever its origin, it is one of
the oldest of surnames.
Variations of the name are Hinge.
Kingsley kingsla nd. kingsbury,
Kingsmill. Kingston. kingsford. Kings
cote, Kinglake, Kingsdown. klnghorne,
and kinsale. Many Huguenot fami-
lies who settled in England changed
their name lie Roy into King.

News of the Iron and Stee1Trade
STEEL STR0NCI IN
EVERY Line
Higher Quotations Registered in
Many Products and Demand
Is Increasing.

CHICAGO, Sept. 3.-General price
advance in almost every line of fin
ished steel seems to be the rule. Bars,
shapes and plates are now quoted at
1.54c, Chicago mill, with no signs of
shading except in case Of steel plates.
Those makers who produce all widths
of plates are holding for this figure;
while mills not so we'll equipped,
which have to offer only the narrower
sizes, are willing to shade to 1.49c,
Chicago mill, in order to obtain part
of the business.
No doubt exists as to the strength
of the market for plates and shapes,
and an advance to 1850, Chicago
mill, is looked forward to as an event
of the near future. Although plate
prices are weaker than on the other
two heavy steel products, they have
gained from the low point. They
have not been able to catch up en-
tirely, however, due in part to the
fact that a number of mills roll linn
tied assortment of sizes and must
make concessions to obtain specifica-
tons.
One factor in the steel market
which is not quite satisfactory to mill
men is the lack of rail and car buying
on the part of railroads. Tonnage
Of steel rails is not sufficient to keep
rail mills active and in almost every
case provision has been made to roll
rounds, squares and sheet bars on
rail mills, thus helping in the produc-
ton of these lines and usually at a
better profit than rails would yield.
An advance from 1.22c, Chicago, to
1.25c, to 1.30c, Chicago, has been
made on S-pound light rails. Railroad
spikes have been advanced from a
quotation of Lose to a basis of 1.55c
to 1.7Oc, Chicago, and track bolts
are selling at 2.10c, Chicago. Tie
plates are quoted at $50 per net ton,
Chicago, and forging bi]lets at $28
per ton, Chicago. Rivets have been
advanced So per ton and structural
rivets now are selling at 1850, Chi
cago, with boiler rivets at Lose,
Chicago. =
Hard steel bars, which have been
quoted at 1900, Chicago mill, are SELL
ing somewhat better and are quoted
at 1.3Oc to 1.35c, Chicago.

NAVAL HEROES
ARE H0N0RED
(BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

BERLIN, Sept. 3.-Next to naming
a new baby or statue or a bridge or
tower after Hindenburg, granting the
freedom of a city to the commander
of a successful submarine is Ger
many's popular diversion at present.
No less than four naval commanders
have thus been honored and have been
made "honor citizens" of communities
large and small.
The first one to be thus recognized
was Frigate Captain Won Mueller, the
commander of the sea raider Emden.
The city of Emden, after the ships
destruction, named Won Mueller its
honor citizen, while his birthplace,
Blankenburg, paid him similar tribute.
The city of Karlsruhe took the
same steps in the case of Frigate Cap
tain Erich Koehler, commander of the
Karlsruhe, and Otto Weddigen, cap.
tain lieutenant of the U-9 and the
U-29, who persisted with the latter
submarine, has been similarly honoree
by his birthplace, Herford. The lat
est case is that of the city of Kreuz
mach, which has conferred it's freedom
on Captain Lieutenant Hersine, com
mander of the U-21 and the U-51.

SUED HlS.'WFE
FOR FORGERY:
tBY. ASSOCIATED PREsS.)

COLOGNE, Germany, Sept. "a
deception that began more than six
months before the start Of the war,
and that was successfully practised
until this month, has just been discov-
cred. It might never have been I'M
earthed if it had not been for the war.
In the winter of 1884 local en-
gineer met and fell in love with a
woman named Maria Schiedeck. In
the hope of interesting the engineer
the woman had posed as widowed
baroness, the daughter Of a prominent
German general. When the engineer
at last proposed marriage his fiance
could find no way of rectifying the
false impression.
On the plea that the general would
be terribly angry to find that his
daughter had married beneath her
rank, the couple went to London and
there were married. The engineer on
several occasions wrote letters to the
general but his wife was able to in
tercept each Of the messages and to
write answers calculated to keep the
two apart.
Then came the war, and, eventually,
the engineers participation in it. He
had never given up hoping that he
would some day be able to bring about
a meeting and a reconciliation with
his titled and distinguished father-in-
law. When he received the Iron Cross
for bravery recently he decided that
the proper time had come, and once
more wrote the general to tell him of
the distinction.
This letter the general did get, and
this time the engineer got a genuine
answer, in which the officer angrily
and very decidedly disavowed any
daughter or any son-in-law. The
deeply disappointed engineer could not
find it in his heart to forgive his
wife, but instead had her arrested on
a forgery charge which has just re-
suited in her being sentenced to prison
for IS months.

NO QUESTION AS
TO RELIABILITY
Has Been Raised by American
Manufacturers Working on
European War Orders.
(Bv Ira N. Steel)

Wy ia Az 0ICCAe/
Tprning paper profits into real
money occupied the attention of New
York stock market Thursday to the
inevitable result that lower prices
ruled as the market closed. Casting
about for "reasons" for the decline
lead some to ascribe it to the posi-
bility of further diplomatic complica-
tions ensuing from the negotiations
still pending between the United
States and Germany over the Arabic
affair when a formal report will be
made; others laid it upon the badly
muddled foreign exchange situation,
pointing out that yesterday the Brit
ish pound sterling was worth only
$2.61, or q cents less than normal.
Still others figured that the $685.
100000 worth of American securities
which just has come in with a large
consignment Of British gold, will be
thrown upon the market for liquida-
ton rather than be pledged on a pos
sible loan. Anyway, whatever the
reason, those who had been piling up
book profits converted them into cash.
Some, who have been most persistent
"bulls" on "war stocks" have gotten
out, and now are taking on standard
railroad shares. Which accounts, in
a way, for the advance and further
activity in the railroad issues.
But other things than mere "war
brides" are taking up the attention Of
foreign exchange experts identified
with the iron and steel trades. For
instance, our news columns yesterday
and today chronicle the fact that large
ttnnages of steel wire, sheets, rivets
and even such crude steel products
as blooms are going abroad to others
than the European belligerents, al
though these nations also came in for
considerable share of this business.
When such crude masses Of steel as
blooms start for Europe, it is the last
bit of proof needful that the Euro
pean demand for steel is Unsuitable.
For blooms have to be re-heated at
great expense and rolled down
through costly processes before they
can be put to any use at all. What
Europe wants today, particularly in
France, because all her most import
ant iron and steel producing country
is in the hands of the Germans, is
steel, steel, steel. And Uncle Sam
is just the man to furnish tat a
price. So far the price seems to have
been satisfactory-also the quality
and quantity of the steel. Next thing,
it will be pig iron. And then there
may be some question as to the guam
titles available for shipment abroad,
since we bid fair to need all of our
own pig iron from now forward.
So far no American manufacturer
appears seriously to have raised a
question as to Europe's ability to pay
for what she needs. At least, no
statement to that effect has been
made by any manufacturer among
the scores that actually are under
taking to fill such coveted orders.
