Big Pool Among
British Makers of
Iron and Steel
Agent Makes Exhaustive Report on
Combination by Which Rail and
Plate Makers Fix Prices.
WASHINGTON. May 8. Pools among bar
makers, rail pools and other combinations.
a third of a century's steadiness In the
quantity of native Iron ore mined, and the
variation in values of such products are
among the matters threshed out in a report
on the conditions of the British Iron and
steel industry, submitted by Charles M.
PeVper, speolal agent of the bureau of
manufacturers. The valuoa of the ore are
on a gradually lowering scale. The report
quotes figures of the coat of production of
pig Iron in the leading manufacturing dis
tricts, ranging from $9.92 on the east coast
to $13.(6 per ton for tha Bessemer or
Pematlte of the west coast. The ultimate
cost per ton of British steel In Bessemer
works having auxiliary blast furnaces, lie
states, to be $23.36 for atel ingots and
$18.49 for steel rails.
Mr. Pepper places the cost of the pig
Iron In this manufacture at $1150. Wages
are given as follows:
Per ton of pig iron, $l.vt; per ton of
Ingots, 69 cents: jier ton of raila. $1.86.
The report shows a Rrltlsh rail pool,
which not only fixes the price, but names
the companies by which deliveries shall
be made to the railways. This Is affiliated
with the International Rail syndicate, of
which the British mills are members.
There are price conventions or trust agree
ments in the galvanised sheet industry and
among the marked bar makers. One of the
moat effective combinations is that among
the makers of ship plates and angles. When
the home demand is dull and foreign busi
ness Is wanted badly a difference of $6
per ton Is about the average between home
and foreign prices In favor of the foreign
buyer, but some times It Is greater. The
formation of these trade combinations both
a to home and foreign sales Is said by
Mr. Pepper to be growing among the
British manufacturers.

ernor lladley In a special message to the
jtiiHsuuri legislature Friday in an effort
to obtain the enactment of a law requir
ing a state license for the sale of intoxi
cants In social clubs throughout the state.
The executive asserted that opposition to
the measure from reputable social clubs
had caused its defeat In the senate and had
thus aided the organization In the larger
cities of clubs which existed primarily for
the purpose of breaking the Sunday clos
ing law.
The governor declared that the absence
of a license law left the police without
adequate resources against the disreputable
clubs and added that the onus of this con

CHICAGO, May 8.-Another "Black
Hand" crime merciless, cruel and Intangi
ble was given to the police here to solve
tonight.
Mariano Zagone, 47 years old, a wealthy

caped death on hree previous occasions,
through his refusal to comply with the
demands of his mysterious enemies, was
shot In the temple while sitting In a
chair In his brother-in-law's saloon, at)d
Is reported to be dying at the Polyclinic
hospital. When the police arrived they
found Zagnne lying on the sidewalk In
front of the saloon. A revolver was found
under him. Joseph and Nicolas! Carmello,
saloon keepers, were arrested, but they
protested that they knew nothing of the
shooting. ,
Further search by the police In the sa
loon revealed a pool of blood on the
floor near a chair. In the rear they found
a rag that had been used to wipe blood
from the floor of the saloon. A closer In
spection showed that Zagone had been shot
probably while reading a paper and that
he had been dragged to the sidewalk.
Mrs. Zagone tofcl the police that her hus
band had been shot at three times in the
last two years. Once he was shot In the
back while entering the house. A second
time he was shot at from the street as

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, May 8. The supreme court
has filed opinions holding that the street
railways and the telephone companies of
Lincoln must comply with ordinances re
quiring the payment of an occupation tax.
In the Traction case the court reaffirms
an opinion formerly given In the telephone
case. In the telephone case tha court re
fuses to grant a rehearing.
The Traction company haa fought the
occupation tax ordinance since it became a
law January 1, 1907. ' The principal objec
tion raised by the Traction company was
that It had to pay 5 per cent on Its gross
receipts and that the same ordinance per
mits the city to credit the Citlsens' com
pany upon the occupation fjnd with what
ever per cent that company agreed to pay
In return for it franchise. For the fran
chise, the Citizens' company paid $1,000 and
was to pay 1 per cent on gross receipts
for fifteen years and 2 per cent thereafter.
