the southwestern police station,
awaiting in fear what may happen
today.
Her baby, born on the morning OF
March 21, is dead. The body was
found last Tuesday in a satchel un.
der q shed near the airbrake shop
of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.
In another cell is Martin l.. Davis
father Of the child, who hid the body
Both father and mother have CON
fessed.
Marie Anna's home Is at 2S01
O'Donnell street. Davis had been
paying her attentions for a long time
she said. When her child was born
she said she was very happy. But
later In the same day, while she was
holding II in her arms, she was so
weak that she dropped 1t. The little
form did not move. There was no
cry. Soon afterward Marie Anna
knew that the little one was dead
She wrapped the tiny body In q
blanket and waited. In the evening
Davis came and she told him what
had happened. They talked far into
the night before deciding to try to
hide the evidence of all that occurred
Davis procured a satchel, placed the
body in II and took the satchel to
his room.
Next morning Davis carried the
satchel with him when he started to
work in the Mount Clare shops. He
threw the bag under the shed and
went on to work. For nearly q week
thereafter he passed the spot In go
ing to work and returning.
Tuesday the shops water supply
showed irregularity. William Scott
and Charles O'Hara were sent to
look under the shed and inspect the
control valve. They found the
satchel and body. Then they notified
the police.
Lieutenant Steiner Of the Balti.
more and Ohio police found evidence
pointing toward Davis and arrested
him. Davis, under questioning, told
the mothers name. Marie Anna was
arrested, too.
Coroner Fanton will hold an in
vestigation to determine whether the
child's death was accidental, az the
mother says. Its skull and jawbone
were fractured.

STEEL MEN COMPLAIN

PITTSBURGH, Nov. -. There
continues to be much complaint by
steel producers OF shortage of cars
for shipping finished product. Traf-
fic departments of the mills are very
busy endeavoring to maintain sup
plies. There is no accumulation of
steel at mills in general. but possi-
bly, production at some mills would

like a large tonnage. yet not all Of
that steel has thus far been moved.
The recent order of the car service
division of the American Railway
Association that box cars in the
East owned by Western roads be re-
turned Immediately to owners has
not affected the box car situation
as much as was feared. but there is
a distint shortage of box cars. which

While shipping conditions in the

common belief in the steel trade
that there would be a very serious
railroad congestion after the coal
strike.
While the common expectation
among steel buyers generally seems
to be that there will be somewhat
lower steel prices before there is
another general buying movement. IA
clear distinction should be made
between commodities. Present
prices of tip plates. sheets. wire

much more easily defended than are

Textile Prices Still Rising.

Notwithstanding the recent abate-

still strengthening. The advances
are generally attributed to the high
er prices of raw materials and sus-
tained or enhanced costs Of labor.
and both cottons and woolens are
participating in the upturn. While
business has remained steady. there
is a feeling among many conserva-
tive interests that price increases,

consumption. and retailers seem dis
inclined to purchase actively on a
rising market. Many of the large
stores continue TO operate only for
well-defined needs. and demand in
