PLANS SUBMITTED FOR
LAKELAND ELkS' HOME:
BUILDING TO COST
ABOUT $4,000

The Lakeland Elks held an i'm
portant meeting last night, large
number of Bills gathering to inspect
the plans and discuss the ways and
means for building their elegant
home, which they expect to erect at
an early date on their handsome
property fronting on Massachusetts
avenue and adjoining the Audi
torium.
Plans were submitted by three
prominent firms of architects, and
these were inspected with much in
terest by the members. Mr.. Bonfoey,
of Bonfoey & Elliott, Tampa; Mr.. A.
J. Poteet, and Mr.. Hooper were the
architects submitting sketches.
These were all carefully examined
and discussed, resulting in the en-
tire matter of handling the build
ing project, from beginning to end,
being placed in the hands of COM
mittee of seven directors, composed
of the present Exalted Ruler, the
Past Exalted Rulers, the secretary
and the treasurer. The personnel of
the directors, therefore is as follows;
O. M. Eaton, George Moore, NJ. F.
Hetherington, j G. Holcomb, T. B +.
O'Steen, w. L. King and R. n
Skipper.
The plans considered will call for
an expenditure of between $4,000
and $35, 900. The Elks do not pro-
pose to stand back in the matter OF
outlay, but plan to have the hand
soonest building in the city, and te
make it the social center of the com
munity. The plans all contemplate
features tending to this, such as q
grill room and restaurant, ladies
parlor, and the lodge room, which
will be used as ball room, will bt
one of the largest in the State, ane
will undoubtedly be the scene o.
many brilliant social functions.
1t is possible that the Woman'
Club will purchase a portion of tn,
Elks' property and erect clul
house thereon, negotiations to thi
effect being now pending. In thi
event the two organizations, which
have much in common, will be abb
to work together for their mutua
interests with increased harmony.

 Hoped For.

Washington, March 3O-The sen ate today continued work on it's army increase bill which is a substitute for the Hay bill passed by the house with both the majority and minority sides hopeful of prompt action on the measure.
 The bill was being read today sec ton by section for amendment, and Chairman Chamberlain of the mili- tary committee, was determined to keep the measure constantly before the senate until disposed of. It IS expected that night sessions will be held unless reasonable progress is made.
 If there is any serious opposition to the bill as a whole, it has not yet manifested itself, though efforts will be made to change certain fea- lures.

DEFENSE MEASURES
 TO BE VOTED ON
Amendments Will Be Made in Order victory for Government Man
 ufacture Advocates.

Washington, March 30.-Proposed amendments to all national defense measures prevailing for government manufactures of ammunition and ar mament will be permitted to come to a vote in the house as a result of the house democratic caucus decision last nlght. The rules committee was in Structed to bring in a rule making in order the proposed amendments.
 The action of the caucus was a yic- tory for advocates of government manufacture, who feared that their bills would die in committee because of the fact that the defense measures had not heretofore been subject to amendment. The plan for govern- ment manufacture was strongly urged by Speaker Clark and was opposed by Chairman Hay of the military com mittee.
 Assurances were given by Chairman Padgett of the navel committee, that his committee would vote Tuesday on the senate armor plate factory bill.

STRIKES AND EFFECTS
 ON ''NEW HAVEN''
Grievance of Baggage Handlers Be- Heved to Have Been Madc-COn-
 ference Proceeding.

New Haven, March 30.--An ad- justment of the grievance which led to fifteen baggage handlers in the Hartford station stopping work yes terday, is said to have been reached today although no official statem lent on this point is given out by the New Haven road at it's offices here. The unofficial explanation is that the men misunderstood the answer of the com pany to their request for more wages, the road promising to look into the matter. The men are said to have received the impression that a wage increase was granted and this increase did not show in their pay envelopes.
 It is understood that the company has reached a tentative agreement with the crafts on the system known as the System Federation These include boilermakers, helpers and re- pair men in car shops although no statement is given out. The confer ence with signal men is proceeding. No information is available as to the conditions surrounding strikes of sec ton men at several points in the state both on the New Haven road and the Central New England.

 ITO the south of the river Somme, the way having been prepared by a violent bombardment, the enemy penetrated to one of the advanced points of our line at a point to the vest of Vermandovillers, to the north of Chaulnes. A counter attack on our part, however, drove them out at once.
 Left Piles of Dead.
 ITO the west of the river Mouse the Germans last night delivered several counter attacks against our positions Tn the wood of Avocourt. All these assaults, however, were driven back 5y our curtains of fire and the firing of our machine gun and infantry de- sediments, which caused heavy losses Tn the ranks of the enemy. This was notable in the case before the redoubt of Avocourt, where the Germans left piles of dead bodies. There has been 10 new military endeavor in the region of Malancourt.

 All the Carranza soldiers might as we'll be withdrawn for all the good they are doing in aiding our men. They made no attempt to stop Villa when he passed Casas GrandeS in broad daylight less than a mile from the garrison" said Senator Fall. He had no more than 300 men with him at that time. I have it from good authority that he did not have a great many more than that number when he attacked Columbus.''

STEEL PRICES ARE
 AT HIGHEST POINT
Believed That Crest Of Wave Is
 ReaChed-MuCh in Stock

New York, March 50.-The Iron Age says:
 Signs of a more conservative spirit are beginning to appear in the steel trade, with intimations that the crest ot the wave of price advances has been reached or is near at hand Sentiment inclines no less strongly to the belief that the mills will be crowded for all the year, but there is less excitement and buyers are not as indifferent to the effects of high prices.
 War demand is not as insistent partly because of the long time for which mills sold. But there is the definite statement from agents of Great Britain that they will now place no contracts for machining shells for more than three months ahead. In several quarters in the machine tool trade the pressure is not so great
 Inventories Doubled,
 Some manufacturing consumers of iron and steel, driven for months by the fear of a shortage of material, have large stocks and many inventor ies have doubled. At the same time premiums for early delivery in certain other lines, particularly for plates, shapes and bars, tend higher indicat- ing small stocks in manufacturers hands.
 In March the railroads have put 100000 tons or more on the books of the rail mills for 1917 rolling, and de- liveries are largely in the second quar- ter. Spikes, bolts and other track supplies are being ordered for next year also. Car buying is moderate the Pennsylvania, widely heralded, that company is buying 5000 tons of steel for the 2,OOO cars it will build for itself. Locomotive orders have been large, the total for the first quarter of the year being about 1,200, against 2OOO for all of 1915.
 Buying For 1917.
 In the Chicago district, where ca pacity for 1916 is more fully sold than elsewhere, inquiry is coming in from manufacturing consumers for the first quarter and first half of 1917, stim- ulated apparently by the large rail- road buying there.
 Western implement makers are giv- ing wide publicity to the probable cur tailment of their output this year be- cause of high prices and scarcity of soft steel bars. Some of this trade cov- cred for bars at 1900 for the second half and in other cases at 2c and high CT. As yet bar iron has not been called for in place of steel in this service to the extent expected.
 Increase in Bars.
 High carbon bars have been so in demand for reinforcing that prices have been pushed up to 2.50c, Chica- go, and as high as Sc has been paid.
 Some Ohio sheet mills have had to curtail operations from inability to get sheet bars; but that fact has not prevented some irregularity in prices for black sheets. For blue annealed, prices still show an abnormal relation to those for black sheets. Automobile demand is insatiate, a late transaction being for 1000 tons
 Pig-iron buying for the first quar- ter and first half of 1917 is the signi- ficant feature in that market. There IS not much of it yet, but it is note Wor- thv that current prices have been the basis of such transa ctionS, d number being reported in the Cincinnati mar ket.
