STEEL TONNAGES
 ARE INCREASING
Gulf States Steel Will Show
 Gain Of 15 Per Cent

That business with the Gulf States Steel company would show an increase this month of about 15 per cent, from all indications, was the statement Thurs day of Charles A. Moffett, president of that company, in discussing the busi- ness revival.
 He said that it was pleasing to ob- serve that business conditions are i'm proving slowly and steadily rather that in a rush such as has featured the swing of tonnages on two or thre oc- easions in the past.
 We would prefer to see the mar ket gather strength slowly rather than to witness a rush and an abrupt drop later on," he said At Gadsden, we are making more steel than formerly, hut the coal and ore mine operation are just about the same"

ONE OF TWO DROWNING
 VICTIMS ABOUT TO WE'D
Double Fatality Occurs at Clark's Pond in East
 Berlin |.

One or the sad details in connection
 with the drowning of William Nina tree, IS, and William Evans, 25, in Clark's pond, East Berlin, yesterday afternoon at about 5 o'clock. was the fact that Evans was to have been married next Sunday, arrangements for the wedding being complete. Both victims were colored.
 Minatrce and Evans, in company with several others, went in swimming in the pond and fl is believed that Minatree got beyond his depth and that Evans went to his rescue, but was pulled down.
 Ernest Bourgeois. an East Berlin youth, showed great pluck when he plunged into the pond and brought the Minatree boy to the surface after several attempts. Bourgeois is small In stature. George Able brought Evans body to the surface an hour later.
 A call was sent to New Britain itn- mediately after the accident and pulmotor in charge Of Sergeant NJ. J. Flynn and officer Michael Brophy Nds uihpdttHtu tp lHF ftEHf m an au- tomobile driven by an East Berlin man. The car was held up for a few minutes by motorcycle policeman, who, noticing the speed, gave chase and overhauled it. The errand was explained and it was allowed to pro- ceed.
 Dr. Thomas C. Hodgson assisted in using the pulmotor. but attempts to revive the victim were futile. The bodies were removed to E. C. Porters' Sons undertaking parlors in New Britain Funeral arrangements have not been completed. Dr. Charles F.. Bush, medical examiner of Cromwell, viewed the bodies aud gave permis- sion for their removal.
 Evans had a brother, Irving. who was an employe at the Clark brick 1 yards and it is believed that the fam ] fly resides in Tarifville. Minatree's i mother. Mrs. Anna Minatree, is em- ployed in the household of Harold 1 Clark end she had warned the boy l several times about the dangers Of 1 going swimming. An older brother l was drowned about 10 years ago in ! the South. l
