Adams had told the truth ahont

the army discharge papers? Was
it an oversight? Had he intended
to include the papers in the envo1

to do so? 1t was possible, hit
unlikely.
More probably Adams had ar
one time kept the letter with thaSo
papers, but had removed it for
greater security. But where had
he put it? Could he be taking the
risk Of carrying it about his per.
son? Or of concealing it some-
where at the surgery? Surely not
nothing would be so safe as the
mans own room. Tim felt the
secret must lie here, if he could
only read it.
He allowed his eyes to travel
slowly round the room, consider
ing every object in the light of a
potential hiding place. The pic.

Tim took them down and ex-
amined the backs of the frames.
Not there. Then he remembered
a framed photograph of a group

A moment later, trembling,
hardly able to believe his good

great wave of relief and joy

his body with well-being.

ELECTR|F|C AT|ON in
SOUTH HITS SNAG
REA Refuses Loan to Tide
water Because 1t Says
Rates Too High
Daily Dispatch Bureau.
T., fk.A Sir NN.,IfAr Hotel

Raleigh, Nov Refusal of the
Federal Rural Electrification Admin
istration to approve a loan to the
Tidewater Power Company has set
back the progress of rural electrical
ton in Eastern North Carolina to a
very marked extent.
The request loan Of $1S0,O00 was to
be used in building lines in thirteen
counties, with a total proposed mile
age Of approximately IT'S.
Counties in which the Tidewater
was planning extensions are New
Hanover, Brunswick, Wayne, Column
US, Pender, Duplin, Sampson, Lenior.
Greene, Carteret, Onslow, Jones and
Craven.
With the loan refused, it now ap-
pears highly improbable that any Of
the lines can be built. The Tidewater
contends, and its contention is gen
orally accepted as true, that it has
not the available cash to finance con-
Struction.
On the other hand, State Rural
Electrification Officials are of the
opinion that there is not one single
project in the lot which can be made
to stand on its own feet" that is
to say, there isn't one of them large
enough or important enough to meet
the Federal REA requirements fol
an electrical cooperative. The Wash
ington officials have shown themsel-
YES unwilling to approve any loan OF
less than 100000 and not one of the
proposed line extensions of the Tide
water comes even close to that figure
| Assigned reason for refusal OF the
| loan was the fact that the Underwater
proposed a rate of 1.63 cents per kilo-
watt for It's current. The REA held
this too high, though it has just ap-
proved a contract in Caldwell county
at 1.61 cents. The Tidewater, which
purchases it's power from the Caro-
lima Power and Light Company, it.
self pays 15O cents, and is obviously
unable to reduce below that figure

WHEN TIM got back home the
prospects of searching Adams
room for the suicide" note did not
look too good. Adams seemed to
be feeling better, but he was in a
sulky mood. He slouched into the
living room as Tim was taking his
tea.
"Get on all right without your
page boy?" he asked.
II managed" Tim replied, in a
propitiatory tone. But it was
very inconvenient; if you're going
to make habit Of not turning up

Iron Age Reports Heavy
Shipments Have Eased

L3 the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 2l.-Steel ingot
output has hit new peak of 90 per
cent OF the countrys capacity, or an
estimated total for this week Of 1904
979 gross tons, which is slightly above
the record Of l,l93,284 tons per week
in May, 1929, Iron Age said today in
its weekly review Of the industry.
Heavy shipments of finished steel
are creating an easier situation for
the steel user" the trade journal said,
causing relaxing Of some OF the
intense pressure on mills for deliv-
cries that was prevalent a month or
SO ago.
while orders with individual steel
companies are running from 10 to
80 per cent behind those of the like
period In March, this is not a serious
falling of, considering that March
sales were the heaviest of the post
depression period. Moreover, new
sales are not far below shipments in
volume and would be much heavier
if mills were willing to accept all of
VIC AA1lo-Qudl CCI DuSlIlSSS LIldL Is Ul-
fered. So far most mills are restricting
third-quarter reservations to sheets
and strip.
Building projects of the smaller
type are fairly numerous, but reports
from contractors and architects indi-
cate that good many construction
jobs Of large size have been postponed
or abandoned owing to higher ma
terial and labor costs, notwithstand-
ing the fact that fabricated struc-
tural steel quotations have not yet re-
f1ected the recent 81 a ton advance
on plain material. Whatever slack
ening in demand for plates and
shapes may occur by curtailment of
construction work is likely to be offset
in part by further buying of railroad
equipment.
Pig iron production is increasing
as additional furnaces go into blast.
Meanwhile, foreign inquiry for pig
iron has brought offers up TO s28
ton, Atlantic port, and a good deal
OF iron could be sold for shipment
abroad II 1t were available.
For the third consecutive week
scrap prices have declined in all mar
kets, reducing the Iron Age COM
posite price to SPOTS and erasing all
of the gains since early March"

BY the Associated Press,

NEW YORK, April 21.-Walter S.
Clifford, president of the American
Telephone & Telegraph Co., told
stockholders at the annual meeting
today that at the present rate of sta
ton installation growth "it will not
be long before the previous high will
be exceeded"
The previous record high was In
1880, when 100000 telephones we're
in service
1T Is interesting to note" he said,
that in some sections of the country
the previous high development has
already been exceeded. This Is the
case in California, in each of the seven
States in the Rocky Mountain section
and in Minnesota, Texas and Louis
lana. 1t is also true in seven South
eastern States and in Delaware, Mary
land and the District of Columbia y
All the Northeastern and North
Central States are still below their
previous peaks and 20 of the 4S States
have more Bell telephones now than
on any previous date"
Answering a stockholder. Clifford
said gross expenditures of somewhat
more than s32O,000,ooO for construc-
tion is expected this year.
Floods had a very minor effect on
earnings. A gross loss of about 81 ,O0O.-
600 was incurred against the prop
erty account by the floods, but this
was not charged against current earn
ings, Clifford explained.
Asked by stockholder whether
the company might issue any new
stock in the near future, he said, Il
wish I knew myself"
The company has about SITS ,00O,-
600 in cash on hand, so there is no
pressing need for new funds, he added.
On the other hand, he said, if busi-
ness continues to expand "stockhold-
ers will probably have a chance some
day to put more money in the tele-
phone company"
