REPUBLIC STEEL
ACQU|RES2R|vALS
Approval by Stockholders
Gives Company Assets
of S301,432,465.
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK. September ga new
1901 ,432.465 steel giant came into
semi-official existence today as stock
holders of Republic Steel Corp. ap-
proved the acquisition by their corpo-
ration of the assets of the Corrigan,
Truscon Steel Co. The Corrigan group
is expected to ratify the acquisition
promptly.
A minor furry of protests by stock
holders delayed for time formal rati-
fication of the acquisitions
Chairman Optimistic.
T. M. Girdler, chairman of Repub-
lie. said:
THE steel business looks much bet
ter. Results this year are considerably
improved over any time since 1929
and prospects for 1886 look very good
Most Of the executives of large steel
companies of the country are fairly
optimistic for the next two years.
This is the first time since 1929 that
such a feeling has existed"
Holders of 72.4 per cent of the COM
mon stock and of the same per cent
preferred of Republic signified their
assent to the acquisitions.
Bonds Authorized.
The capital changes approved by
stockholders included, besides the au-
thorization of the $24,000,000 of bonds,
the creation of new class of prior
preference stock, an increase in the
amount of authorized common stock
and provisions for the exchange of
present 6 per cent preferred stock for
the new per cent prior preference
on the basis of one-half share of the
new and two shares of common for
each old share of preferred, thus elm
mating some $15,000,00 of accumu-
lated unpaid dividends.
The plan consummated today to
join Republic with the two other COM
panies has been in the making since
late 1884, but was delayed by law
suits, the chief of which was an anti
trust action brought by the United
States Government. In May, 1885,
this action was decided against the
Government and on August the De-
partment of Justice made it known
that the decision would not be ap-
pealed.

Presidents Order Raises to

Federal Projects.

A presidential executive order today
dropped an extra $780, 100000 of the
works-relief billions into the Golfers OF
the Works Progress Administration for
its campaign to put to work $4,000
persons on relief by November l.
The order expanded from 5000 000.-
600 to $1.700,00o,0 900 the amount
which may be expended for loans and
grants for non-Federal projects in
the States. The lesser amount was
designated by Congress, subject to
presidential revision.
OF the Sl,7OO,OOO 900 total. public
works projects already have been ear
marked for 1927, 900 900, leaving ST.
373,00O,000 for w. P A.
Approvals Doubled.
w. p A. State programs to cost
S724.784 o82 already have been ap-
proved, but Harry L. Hopkins, w. P,
A. administrator. has said the policy
was to approve twice as many de-
velopments as could be financed with
available funds, so as to give State
administrators wide selection OF
projects from which to choose those
to be undertaken.
After a final check-up with State
directors, Administrator Ickes an
nounced his new public works pro-
gram. reduced TO 100000 900, will be
ready for President Roosevelt tonight
Warming State directors that their
troubles were lust beginning" Ickes
told them he wanted to make the new
program the best and fastest" that
could be devised within existing lirni-
tations.
He called the directors into confer
ence this morning to strip 100000, 600
in approved applications to fit into
the new $500, 100000 program.
Each State to Share.
1t will be barely possible, P. w. A.
officials admitted, that no State will
receive more than one-fourth of the
projects submitted. Each State, how
ever, it was said, will receive pro-
portionate share of available funds.
Secretary Ickes warned the directors
that p. W. A. will be more ruthless
than ever before" in resembling prof.
ects which do not show signs of quick
action after the money has been
turned over.
Summoned here by wire Saturday.
the State directors spent all day yes
terday in revising their lists to con-
form to the new stipulations imposed
by President Roosevelt.
Secretary Ickes is leaving to his
directors the major responsibility in
choosing the specific projects to be
included in the new program. The
decision vas left to them mainly be-
cause of their better knowledge OF
local conditions.

dizzily through st. Peterbsburg's heav-

stopping the car at busy intersec-

Increasing the hazard of the ad-

KANSAS CITY, September %
De Wolf Hopper, famous comedian
whose stage career spanned more
than half a century, died unexpected
ly here today.
The sprightly 77-year-old actor had

of broadcasts each Sunday, usually

the ballad in his vibrant, booming
voice more than 10000 times. The

which included base ball players,

In the San Francisco Examiner in
1886.
Watched Fortunes Of Giants.
Hopper himself was a base ball
fan and watched the fortunes Of the
New York Giants closely.
Hopper,s nurse said he refused to
take his illness seriously, but remarked
rather ruefully that he guessed he'd
have to slow down a bit"
He called for newspapers and read
them before going to sleep.
Hopper, said the nurse, made no
remarks referring to his family and
several times banteringly referred to

Then the wild ride was on. Sway

back, Ronnie neatly missed pedes-

for 10 blocks, where he came to stop,
how, nobody knows.
Meanwhile, police radio cars had
been ordered to stop Ronnie, his moth

reported his car was missing.
At the end Of his ride, Ronnie was
nonchalant.
