A crowd that filled the hall heard
with pleasure a well.balanced program
OF choruses and appreciated the lead,

best results out Of the xoices.

obtained by the skilful decoration OF
the hall under the direction Of Charles

close OF the program when the club
came forward to the fOotlights and

American flag dropped its glowing
folds behind and above the singers on
the platform.
The Russian quintet was cordially

The first part of the program con-
tanned the more formal and difficult

In the end it takes a lot of explana

explain how the two men got in her

Hawkinses to do away with twin beds
The farce is full of laughs from

criticism of any member of the cast.
Barton, as Signor Month, is especially
good, as is also Miss Hanger as the
English nurse. AS Mrs. Hawkins, Miss

well fitted and her work last nigh
was up to its usual high standard.

US. STEELIN
PROSP'ERITYERA
(From Bradstreet'sl


In addressing the stockholders OF the
United States Steel Corporation on
Monday, its chairman, Judge +. ID.
Gary, made some statements of I'M
usual Importance and interest His
speech embodied the first official in
formation as to the prices the Steel
Corporation is making to the United
States government for material re-
'ouired in connection with its military
and naval work. The statement on
this head was that the organization
was selling standard steel plates to
the government at about $3.50 per 100
pounds, against a quotation of from
$3.50 to 81 to the general trade. II
also appears that government orders
this year will call for not more than
one-twentieth, of the corporation g
present capacity. Mr.. Gary added that
as high as So to SO has recently been
bid for the class of products above
referred to, but that the corporation
has pursued it's established policy OF
endeavoring to stabilize the trade as
much as possible. If it we're disposed
to take advantage of every opportun-
ity, its earnings could be made very
much larger than they are. 1t has,
however, never been the purpose or
intent of the organization to secure
the highest prices possible for it's out
put
On the subject Of orders and pros
pective business the statement was
decidedly satisfactory. The corpora
tons books are we'll filled with orders,
of which there are sufficient to keep
its plants busy throughout 1917, while
considerable amounts have been sold
for 1918 delivery. Never until the last
eighteen months, it. was declared, had
the United States Steel organization
been able to demonstrate it's full earn
ing power, the significant fact being
mentioned that since its formation the
capacity of the combination had been
increased no less than 100 per cent.
At present the plants are turning out
from 40 to 45 per cent of the total steel
produced by all the establishments of
that kind in the United States. The
company, however, has no desire or
disposition to increase that percentage,
but studiously refrains from doing so,
and cannot, therefore, be accused OF
endeavoring to secure monopoly. AS
it is, the existing capacity of the mills
under its control and management,
which are constantly working full, is
as large as the combined capacity Of
all the steel works of Germany and
twice that of the similar establish
ments of England.
Much interest attaches to what
Judge Gary had to say in regard to
the new taxation of industrial con-
Germs and their profits, necessitated
by the war with Germany, upon which
the United States has now entered. He
estimated that the corporations taxes
in 1917 will be between 100000, 900
and S65,000,000 an increase over last
years import of about $43,000,000
These figures, he said, were derived
from the application of the present
laws, including the income tax and
the excess profits tax, and did not in
clude the possible results of the war
taxation now under consideration by
Congress. Taxation amounting to the
above sum would be equivalent to
more than ST. per share upon the out
standing common stock of the cor
poration.
