SLOSS- ALABAMA
 CONSOLIDATION
 BELIEVED MADE
Issuance Of $2,5OO,OOO Purchase Note Is Of
 Interest Here

Information received in Birmingham Saturday from New York that the Sloss-S Sheffield Steel and Iron company had privately sold $2,5OO, 900 of 6 per cent five-year purchase money notes, indicated to local industrial observers that the merger with the Alabama com pany had been concluded.
 The added information available here was to the effect that President John W. Mcqueen of the Sloss company, Hugh Morrow, vice president, M. M. Baldwin, counsel, and directors for the Alabama company had departed for New York. The latter will remain in Baltimore while the three Birmingham residents will arrive here Sunday or Monday.
 The private sale of lien notes was made by Goldman Sachs and Company and by Lehman Brothers of New York. It was not announced who were the buy CTS, or on what properties the lien notes were given. However, it is assumed that the Sloss company, after permit ting the Alabama company to retain its stock of pig iron, and assuming the bonds as previously agreed, placed the loan on properties of the Alabama com pany. This indicates, it is stated, that the Sloss company will take over all of the properties of the Alabama and will not relinquish the Gadsden furnaces or the ore and coal properties north of Birmignham, as previously believed.
 The statement has been made here during the past ten days that the orig inal plan of selling the furnaces of the Alabama company. to the Gulf States company in the event of merger, had been abandoned. It was explained that the Sloss company has made ar engagements which justified the reteii- tion of the furnaces and other properties which were thought impractical before. As the situation now exists, it is thought that Sloss officials will make an an nouncement of their plans Monday in dicating that the merger has been ac- complished and will take over the Ala bama operations about November 15.

 Laughing Harold stood on the stool, the moose adjusted around his neck. At that moment the dinner bell rang and John ran downstairs leaving his brother 10 follow.
 It is believed that the elder boy, in trying to get the moose from his neck so he could step from the stool and ioin the others downstairs. lost his bal snce. John did not hear him fall or cry out. The younger boy went on downstairs and greeted his mother, who Nas on the second floor,
 Dinlfer was not quite ready and the family waited for Harold, thinking he would come at any moment. When they did not hear his step on the stairs the mother sent John up to call him.
 John, climbing the stairs, saw his brother hanging from the cross-bar. tho moose taunt about his neck. He was choking to death, his legs jerking spasmodically his feet only few inches above the floor. He hung there, struggling for breath as inc younger brother stared in panic at him, the mother ignorant of the boys peril only two short flights below them.
 John ran downstairs, screaming Mother. mother, comequick."
 Mrs. Allen cut ihe rope and carried Harold downstains in her arms. Life was not extinct and the mother re- sorted to every measure she could think of to revive him. A servant sum moned the ncighbors, who gave the hoy first aid A physician then hurried 10 the house and applied stimulants. but he was too late.
 Neighbors said the two boys had taken only the normal interest which children take in the movies" and had not been known 10 emulate the stunts" Of motion picture heroes
