MILLKEN PLANT
TO CHANGE HANDS
Important Interests Seek
Steel Property on
Staten Island

/. c. Dilks, president Of Milliken
Brothers, Inc, manufacturers Of steel
products, yesterday confirmed reports
that negotiations are under way for
the sale OF the company's Staten Island
property. The name of the buyer was
not disclosed, but Wall Street took 1t
for granted that the property will be-
come a unit in one of the large con-
Germs extensively engaged in the pro-
duction OF export supplies. The loca'
ton of its plant on the northern shore
of Staten Island, with half mile OF
tidewater frontage, gives it a special
advantage in shipping at the present
time. Stockholders will receive full
details of the proposed deal within the
next few days, according to Mr. Dllhs.
Concern Started in 1857
The present company was incorporat-
ed in December, 1913, under the laws Of
Virginia, and acquired all the proper
ties of New York corporation of the
same name which in January took over
all the business established in 1857 by
Samuel Milliken, jr.
The main plant is located at MilliSen'
on the northern shore Of Staten Island,
on a tract of about 100 acres. 1t has
a capacity Of 100000 tons, and is
equipped for the manufacture Of all
classes Of structural material, but in
the last two or three years has engaged
principally in the manufacture OF
smaller shapee used in electrical trans
mission development, and has special
lied on small orders for quick delivery
in structural material of all kinds and
for all purposes.
Business Shows Increase
The business of the company has m
creased materially since 1t was re-
organized under a receivership IN 1913
It's operations. however. have been con-
Quoted at slight loss, those for the
wear 1915 resulting in dehelt oil

SENATORS HOLD REDS
 TO 2-2 IN 10 INNINGS

This Columbus Senators outfit is looming up as a bright shining light in the baseball Armament, as is in- dicated in the following little telegram last night to The Graphic from Bob Read, one of the Columbus newspapers men who spent the training season in Pine Bluff with the Senator's:
 "Columbus, at Cincinnati, beat the Reds Tuesday, 1 to 1, and played a 2-to-2 10-inning tie today"
 The fans all know that the Gin cinnati Reds are not the strongest of the big league clubs, but it is a big league club nevertheless, and as such, it certainly ought to be able to beat a lower-class club, especially when playing at home. The fact that the Senators won one and tied the other of a two-game series. makes it appear that Joe Tinker has organized a ball club which is going to set a hot pace in the American association, even if it should happen not to finish the sea- son on top of the standing.
