 SHOW B|G INCREASE
U. $. Steel Corporation Ac- cumulates Unified Iron
 and Steel Orders

New York october lo.-The United States Steel corporation issued it's Sep. tember statement yesterday. The untitled orders increased 9,l63 tons, being 5,317,- SIS tons at the end of the month. Out put of .ingots and rolled steel were slight ly less than in August, because of one less working day in September, while the average plant operations were about the same. Orders booked aggregated approx imately 1,509,o00 tons, while shipments We're estimated at about 1100,0OO tons.
 Since October 1 all of the Steel con- pany's ingot operations have averaged be- tweeen 9S and 99 per cent of full capacity and pig iron output has increased at the rate of S00,0o0 tons to 900000 tons annually over the September production which was at the rate of S5, O0o.OO tons year.
 New high production records of iron and steel probably will be established during the current month.
 Railroad buying of equipment last week was encouraging. Rail contracts placed aggregated 10S5o0 tons including 19,OOC tons for the Baltimore and Ohio, 5000 for the Nashville Chattanooga and St. Louis, l2,oo0 tons more for the Southern railway and 12,000 tons for the Charleston South- ern. a branch of the Sedboard Air Line.
 The American Bridge company submit ted the lowest bid to the New York Mu- nicipal Railways corporation to furnish 60,00O tons of steel for the construction of four sections of elevated railroad third tracking in Brooklyn.
 There are indications that more atten- tion will be paid the statistical position of the market.

As a preface to the con cert the Scotch Highlanders and drum mers. in their picturesque attire, pa raded for a few minutes on the track In front of the grandstand. The pro- gramme opened with Wagners familiar Tannhauser march, but the rest of the music was in the lighter vein-some of 1t bright and catchy and some of it sentimental. The Scotch band consists of about 35 pieces. The ensemble is good and those who heard the band last year remarked its finer quality this season. It is decidedly popular at traction at the. fair.
 feature of the performance during the Highlanders hour yesterday was an exhibition of the Highland fling by Duncan MacPhail, winner of the gold medal at the San Francisco exposi- tion as the best Sotch dancer in this country.

BRITISH SOCIALISTS LECTURE IN FRANCE To Inform French Working Men As to England's
 Part In War

London, September 25.-(Correspon- dence of the Associated Press.)-In or der to remove doubts among the French working people regarding the part Eng land is playing in the war. the British socialists have by the consent of the French government arranged a series of lecture tours covering the great indus trial cities of France and lasting for the period of two months. The speakers selected are Adolphe Smith, well known writer and speaker, who served as a volunteer with the French during the siege of Paris in 1870, and John Hodge, M. P. MT. Smith speaks French like a native, but MT. Hodges speeches will be translated.
 In a trip to France to arrange these meetings, the two Organizers of fra ternity'' were received by PresidGnt Poincare, Minister of Munition Thomas. and other ministers and deputies. These officials gave not on1y full consent to the meetings. but aided arrangements, as the object Is to combat the propa- ganda of the small minority of British peace party socialists, who have given the French workmen an erroneous idea of the attitude of British labor toward the war.
 Adolphe Smith will give a general ac- count of the British effort and MT. Hodge will tell what the British work ing classes are doing. The first meet Ing will be held in Paris attended by working men and socialists. The sec- ond will be before deputies, French gov pnf offcia1o nrn and representatives of the press at the ministry of public works, Lyons.

 The activities of Edward D. Rob bins the New Hawen's attorney. who Is alleged to have been the deviser of many of the unlawful. actions. are ex : pected to be the center of much of the testimony. Those of Lewis Cass Led yard, personal attorney for the late J. P. Morgan, Sr. and who is charged in the bill of particulars with ''try- ing to prevent the entertainment of facts concerning the activities and &C., tions of the conspirators," are likely also to be the subject of much inter esting evidence. The elder Morgan with whom Ledyard is alleged to have lad vised and counseled" in connection with the acquisition of some of the prop critics which the government holds are illegally controlled. are mentioned in the indictment as ore of the conspira- tors of the case.

Years of Doctoring and All Medicines Failed to
 Bring Relief
ENSLEY WOMAN TELLS OF HER EXPERIENCE
Mrs. A. Morgan Explains the Remarkable Results She Obtained From Tanlac.
 Gains 10 Pounds

For 20 long years I was an invalid. tried all kinds of medicines, but received no benefit until l tried Tanlac. Tanlac lifted me right up, and I have gained 10 pounds since I began taking it. It did me more good than years of factoring. That's what Tanlac did for me and is why l think it the greatest medicine on earth"
 This was the remarkable statement made by Mrs. A. Morgan, who resides at 16oo Sixteenth street, Ensley, ill a conver- sation at the b. w. Morris Drug Co, Ems ley, recently. Continuing, she said:
 "often when l got up of mornings would have to have the windows raised So l could get breath, l felt so choked up. Throughout the day l was unable to do any housework. Everything l would eat hurt me. and l got so l couldn't stand the smell of cooking. Finally, I just cut out my breakfasts entirely, and dared not eat supper for I knew suffering would follow. eften a draggy feeling woul1 come over me and I could not stay up over an hour at a time. l was so nervous and had such terrific headaches! Also, here lately had something like rheuma tism. and my back ached so much I couldn't get up and down. Sleep was utterly impossible at times. I fe'll off con siderably and became very depressed,
 
 est in anything.
 'About month ago I heard about this Tanac. l had tried so many other med icines l had about lost confidence, but 90 many people were being benefited by Tan lac I bought bottle. The first few doses did me good. My appetite soon returned, and I began to get stronger. The ner- vousness has left me The three bottles ] have taken have almost made me over again. l can now eat most anything ! please and do that without indigestion fol- lowing. My sleep has been so sound had to get an alarm clock to wake me up of mornings. All those pains have left me. It certainly is great relief to wake up in the morning feeling fresh and strong. My energy is much greater now, and my husband told me the other day l was trying to do everything since talk ing Tanlac.
 T am going to start my husband to taking Tanlac, too for he has catarrh and is badly run down. I also wrote my mother in Montgomery about Tanlac, for l know it would do her good"
 Mr. G. c. Allison of the firm of D. w. Morris Drug Co, was present and hearf' this conversation. After Mrs. Morgan had left the store he said to the Tanlac representative:
 :l'That is one of the most remarkable cases that has come under my observa- tion. I have filled prescriptions for Mrs Morgan for nearly 12 years and before she got Tanlac she was almost nervous wreck. I don't think I ever saw per son build up as rapidly as she has.

 Surely the conventionist party will con tinue the struggle; sooner or later it will demonstrate to the world that the Mex ican people wish the establishment of a legal government. and will not tolerate a dictatorship of indefinite tenure and inefficient administration as has been shown by Carranza's failure or unwilling ness to organize a cabinet and suppress the frequent armed movements against his authority"
