DONNER-FRICK CAPITAL
BUYS CAMBRIA STEEL
Control of Concern Passes
From P. r. R. After a
Months Transaction

Control of the Cambria. Steel Company
has been bought by william II. Donner.
president OF the company: Henry r..
Frick and allied interests, after trans 4.
actions had been carried on for more
than a month, It was learned today.
A deal for, contro. of the Pennsylvania
Steel Company has, at the same time,
been carried so far toward completion
that II is expected in financial circles
that Charles NJ. Schwab head of the
Bethlehem Steel Corporation. will obtain
the control. If that arrangements fails,
Pennsylvania steel probably will be
bought by Donner-Friok interests, and
then will be merged with Cambria Steel
and a third corporation believed to be
the Lackawanna Steel Company.
The control Of Cambria Steel passed
from the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
to- the Donner-Frick interests through
sale of the Pennsylvania Company's hold
ings in the open market. Negotiations
for the sale of the Pennsylvania Steel
Company were carried on at a conference
in Broad Street Station yesterday. In
which Mr.. Scwab met Il. T. Stotesbury,
director of the Pennsylvania Steel
Company, and Henry Tatnall. vice presi-
dent i'm charge of finance and a director
of the Pennsylvania Railroad. The con-
ferees declined to tell the result OF their
negotiations. but 1t was believed that
they reached an agreement. or that al
least they were much nearer agreement
than ever before.

FRAUDULENT VOTING
PROVED BY POLICE
Startling Revelations of Irregu-
larities at Polls Have
Been Uncovered

Startling revelations OF padded reeis-
tration lists, gang thuggery and fradu-
lent voting at the primary election, Sep
tember 81 have been uncovered by the
police In their official canvass OF %
scattering election divisions at the order
Of Director OF Public Safety Robert y.
Dripps.
Complete figures will no, be available
for day or two. but I can state now that
plenty OF cases OF fraud were found" Dl-
rector Dripps said at noon today In an
nourcing that the police canvass had
been completed In the 30 divisions from
which wholesale complaints were re-
ceived
This evidence will be turned over TO the
Committee OF Seventy.
The Director at the same time took oc-
casion to deny the charge that the police
we're being used to further the interests
of any particular candidate or any partic-
ular party.
'I am determined that we shall have
an honest election, no matter who must
suffer-. he declared.
The evidence of fraud, he said were
not confined to any particular ward or
To amy particular part Of the city. but
were scattered quite equally. Il has been
estimated by those close to the Commit
tee of Seventy that the registration lists
this year have been padded to the ex-
tcnt OF 5000 names by the Organization
henchmen The divisions canvassed were
those where violations OF the law were
known to be most fragrant II is likely
that a canvass will be continued in other
districts where fraud to a lesser degree
is suspected.

WHAT'S IN A NAME?
. Plea For Correctly Designating
Places and Celebrities.

Frederick Tpham Adams objects in
his Conquest OF the Tropics" to the
name usually given to the discoverer
of America.
Speaking Of the immortal Columbus,
why do we call him by that name7
He never bore while living any such
name. lie vas born Of the Italian
family of Colombo" When he en-
tered the Spanish service he changed
his name to "Cristobal Colon" And
we insist on calling him columbus"
In Spain. Mexico. Central America
and all Spanish speaking countries the
natives never heard OF the United
States" They translate it into .Es
tados Unidos." and they have as much
right to call it that as we have to call
Espana by the title Of Spain or
Roma by the title Of Rome"
| hold that we should call countries
and cities and celebrities by their true
names. and not stick to the clumsy
deriyations which have lazily been
substituted. There is no such city as
Vienna unless it happens to be
some village In the United States.
The great Austrian capital is named
"Wien.' and only those who speak
the English language call it anything
else. There Is no such city as "Brus-
sels." but the beautiful capital Of Bel
GUM IS really named "Bruxelles."
1t is time that we called the great
d~iscoverer by the name under which
he achieved immortal fame, Cristobal
Colon. We would not like it IL the
Russians insisted that the father OF
our country was named "Washeski-
vich."
