Shortly after the hold-up Jones reported the mat ter to the police. Officers in the city and suburbs were asked to institute a search for the highwaymen.
 The bus stopped near an electric light and the driver got out at the registering station. In his report to the police Jones says the negroes came up from behind, one pointing pistol in his face, while the other searched for money.
 After securing $795, belonging to Jones and other money taken in on the trip from the city to NorYood, the negroes disappeared in the darkness. Jones said he was unable to estimate the amount of money taken due to the fact that some of it belonged to the Norwooo Transportation company, which operates the Norwood bus.

SIGN NO CONTRACTS
 FOR STEEL AT $75
 TON, SAYS DENMAN

Washington, June 17.-Suggestions that the countrys steel mills will hold out for a price of s75 8 ton for steel that goes into the great fleet of merchant vessels to be built by the government drew from Chairman Denman of the shipping board the statement tonight that price that high would not be paid.
 ''I shall sign no contracts at that fig ure," said MT Denman. "The price IS absurd when the navy is getting steel at $30 ton less.
 T feel,' he said, that we would en- barrass the committee if we were to embody in contracts now General Goeth- als' tentative agreement with the steel men for $95 a ton steel because in so doing we would give responsibility to a price which on its face is absurd for the government to contemplate" -- Some contra cts have been let at S95. MT Denman explained that they were let where the shipyards already had conmitm ents for steel at that price and that since the government now can con- trol prices through the power to com mardeer nc more contracts will be let at that figure.

Later one of my men got from his wife a couple of boxes of fuses with which to light his pipe in rainy weather.
