MOTHER OF BRIDE
NO. z FRUSTRATED
Mrs. TatnaH Sobs She Can't
Believe Esther Knew Andrews
Was Married.

PITTSBURGH. April '16.--Pros-
trated by the information regarding
her daughter, whom she thought
happily married. Mrs. Christine Tat
nall. mother of Mrs. Esther Marie
Andrews, said today her daughters
home lis here with me just as soo7
as she wants II.
Il can't believe my daughter knew
Mr.. Andrews had been married" the
griefstricken mother said. III 1t is
all true and she Is really not his
wife-oh, 1t is too terrible to think
about! He was such a nice man: ]
thought so much of him because he
seemed so devoted to my daughter.
COUPLE VISITED MOTHER.
Since my daughter married Mr..
Andrews" Mrs. Tatnall continued.
between sobs, they have visited here
often. For a while they lived at
the Pennsylvania Hotel, but that
was so expensive they decided to
board. They went to Jersey City to
room and board with some woman.
and l believe my daughter thought
this woman was merely in charge of
the house.
MY daughter always appeared to
be so happy and il doesn't seem to
me that things are as they say. ]
am terribly worried and shocke
about how it will affect my daughter.
1 expect her and her husband here
Saturday or Sunday and l am sure
this will be cleared UP then"
Miss Tatnall worked in Andrews's
brokerage office here as stenog-
rapher for some time before they were
married.
A younger sister, Margaret, who
lives at home, said:
Esther and / are very confidential
with each other. and she never
breathed a word of all this. That is
why II is hard for me to believe IT.
She seemed so happy. l can hardly
wait until she comes home again to
find out the truth. We all like her
husband. He has been very good to
our mother and to all of us. 1t doesn't
seem possible he should do such a
thing as they say he has done"
ANDREWS CALLED KIND.
Mrs. Tatnall denied that since the
marriage ceremony between Andrews
and her daughter she had lived in
comfort at the brokers expense, that
Andrews had given her an automobile
and that gasoline service station
she conducted had been sold by her.
That is false, absolutely false,
she said. This home"-referring to
the cozy six-room dwelling in Bright
on Road, in which she resides with
Margaret-'was left me by my hus.
band. We've had the automobile for
good while. The service station
has not been sold. 1t was rented for
a while, but l still own it and run it
Mr.. Andrews has been very kind tc
me, that's true. They have been here
with me a lot.

farther than Lane dared-as to bring
her to his f1rst wife and present her.
To Esthe Marie Tatnall. his second
choice, he gave the freedom of his
domestic city. the key of his home.
Many men, dissatisfied with monot
onous matrimony. will envy the ease
with which Andrews settled what to
others has been a weighty problem.
One may imagine the Homecoming
of Andrews and his bride. He may
have said in the presence of the two
women:
Maud, my dear, this is the new

dence). Esther, this is my first wife.
1 hope you girls are going to like
each other. l am quite sure you

Some years ago, in a popular maga-

But in a community where nearly

STEEL OPERATION
DECLINE CONTINUES
Ford Motor Company Orders
Material for Making o.
900 New Cars.

The story of business In the steel
trade this week is one of continued slack
ening of plant operation and of price
declines outside the purlieus of the Steel
Corporation. Surveys of the trade in
dicste that hopes exist of a marking
down OF railroad wages in the near fu-
ture which win permit OF lower freight
charges. While prices for certain prod
ucts are declining, it is noted that the
small volume OF business offered mill
tates against any disposition to break
quotations sharply.
An interesting item recorded by the
Iron Trade Revfeto Is the notification
by the Ford Motor Company to steel
manufacturers to ship material sufficient
to turn out $1,000 cars in February and
$4,000 cars in March. Before the de-
cline OF auto manufacturing began last
autumn the Ford company was making
between $4,000 and $4,000 cars a month.
The iron Trade Reufeto says:
The cleavage between the position on
prices OF the independent companies and
that OF the Steel Corporation has been
rendered more pronounced by a further
descent OF some of the schedules of the
ormer. Competitive prices as much as
8 to s11 per ton below the maximum
figures now being maintained by the
argest producers have appeared the past
week and this spread Is growing stead
ly. That the Steel Corporation must
meet this situation before many days Is
q matter of common market opinion.
The Iron Trade ReUieao's market COM
posite this week is S47.10. This COM
pares with $4SS6 last week. S51.73 in
all January and $53.43 In all December.
Conditions In the European markets are
similar to those now In force in this
country. The depression there Is ex-
tending under conditions OF the severest
competition. Many British blast fur
naces and steel works are idle. Wages
are being reduced for the first time in
several years. Prices in France. Bel
gium and Germany are falling and the
readjustment process appears to be in
full sway"
The Iron Age says: THE Steel Corpo-
ration In the Chicago district has
dropped to SIS per cent. ingot operation
and three blast furnaces have been
blown out. twenty now being active out
of twenty-nine. In Pittsburgh active In
got making is not more than 20 per
