& YO INDIVIDUAL PLEA FOR W. ROCKEFELLER Pefendant in New Haven Case Will Depend on Outeome of Motion for General Acquittal, New York, Dec, 23—No argument for the dismissal of the indictment against Wm. Rockefeller individually will be made by his counsel at his trial with ten other former directors of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad on the charge of conspiring ‘to monopolize commerce under the Sherman anti-trust law. This became known today . when Judge Hunt inquired, while hearing indi- vidual argument for other defen- dants, how many more there were to be heard. Counsel for two, respond- ing brought the total number to Im heard to ten, and it was then learn>d that Richard V. Lindabury, counsel for Mr. Rockefeller, did not intend to make an individual plea for his client. He will rest his chances on the gen- eral plea already made for the dis- missal of the entire case. Mr. Rockefeller is the only one of the defendants whose tenure of office as a New Haven director has extended throughout the entire twen- ty-five years period of the alleged conspiracy and the only participant in alleged unlawful. -acts committed long before most of his fellow defen- dants became directors. Argument for Brooker. Judge Hunt at the morning session heard argument in behalf of Charles F. Brooker. Pleas for D. Newton Barney and Edward D. Robbins were to be heard this afternoon, -after which the court was to hear the an- swer of government counsel. DEATHS AND FUNERALS. Willlam Keegan.

F. Rock- well of Bristol, one of the sons of the Marlin Arms company’s president said this morning that articles of incor- poration are now being prepared for | the company which is to finance the | scheme, and that plans will have de- | veloped sufficiently in a short time to permit of a formal announcement of their intentions. Mr. Rockwell was interviewed re- | garding advertisements of the Rock- well-Drake company of Hartford, in which employment is offered to girls in the Capitol city with the under- standing that in a short time the lo- cation of the plant will be changed to “the vicinity of New Britain.” The young man admitted that at this time he was unwilling to disclose the secret 2s it has been planned to keep the plans from the public, at least until articles of incorporation are filed. He admitted, however, that Plain- ville is the location. meant in the ad- vertisement. The Rockwell-Drake company is en- gaged in the manufacture of - ball bearings and it is believed that the new corporation will take over its bus- iness, enlarging its field to such an extent that it will be an important competitor of the New Departure company of Bristol, the presidency of which was recently taken from Mr. Rockwell. “We are at present keeping as a secret the names of the men behind the venture’” he said, when asked for information by a Herald man. He in- timated that it-would not be long be- fore the erection of a factory build- ing will be started. | | Hanrahan. The flower bearers were Robert Ferguson, John O’Brien and John Roche. Thomas F. Bowen, Thomas F. Bowen, until five years ago a resident of this city, died yes- terday at his home in Buffalo where he was engaged in the insurance bus- iness with his brother, Henry C. Bow- en, .. Chronic rheumatism was. the This will be pleasing news to Plain- ville people as it was feared that with the election of Mr. Rockwell as head of the Marlin Arms company, plans which he had made for the develop- ment of the Plainville property would be deferred for some time and per- haps entirely abandoned. .

About thirty -members of the society laden with baskets of various articles which go to bring cheer to the hearts of the unfortun- ates, went to the home and in a short time the inmates were enjoying a bountiful repast of foodstuffs, fruits and other holiday viands. Bach of the inmates of the home was remem- bered individually, the men receiving tobacco and the women choice gifts. , At the completion of the dinner, an entertainment was given, at which Mrs. Mary T.

Washington, Dec. 23.—Facing .of- ficial foreign protests, Gen. Carranza has temporarily suspended his decree requiring banks in Mexico City to re- deem their notes in gold, according to advices received today by the state de- partment. The suspension is effec- m sermon appropriate to the sea- tive until Carranza reaches Querataro, jos indefinite date. IS BLESSING FOR DOMESTIC CONSUMER Embargo By Railroads on Ship- ments of Iron and Steel York, Dec. says today: The embargo laid by all railroads on shipments of jron and steel prod- ucts to New York for export, while it throws some serious problems on the mills, is a blessing to domestic con- sumers. While exports of steel have been declining since August, largely because of transportation difficulties, they have amounted to enough to bring measureable relief if diverted into home channels. ‘While billets, blooms, bars and wire products have figured prominently in exports, the easing up at home due to the embargo will extend to other forms of finished material, as in the release of stecel for plate departments, for example, the soaring of plate mill prices finding a parallel in no other line. Yet the situation in respect to a number of finished products is so tense that too much should not be ex- 23.—The Iron Age pected from the holding up of ex- ports. Pressure From Consumers. con- There is more pressure from sumers to get places on the steel com- panies’ order books for deliveries aft- er July 1, 1916, and the amount of such business taken is increasing, though some mills still insist they are not ready to sell for the second half. The calculations of important man- ufacturers who work up iron and steel are more and more based on the pro- jection of record consumption and high prices far into next year. The %ffect of high prices in discour- aging new construction and otherwise limiting consumption is recognized throughout the trade, but only in a theoretical way as long as producers feel that curtailment from some cause is desirable. Chicago, somewhat in contrast with Pittsburg, has had rather heavy new inquiry in the past week, with some reservations for the second half, and the formal opening of books for that delivery may not be long dclayed by western mills. ‘Wire Products Advanced. Wire products were advanced $2 a ton Dec. 20, bringing nails to $2.10, Pittsburgh, and plain wire to $1.9¢ the highest prices in many years. In the boom of 1906-7 the highest con- tract price for wire nails was $2.05 That jobters have light stocks is in- dicated@ by the fact that few are now getting nail -shipments at less than $1.90, which was the market so lately as Nov. 15. Rail orders are coming forward in moderate volume. - The Great North- ern’s recent contract v for 25,000 tons, distributed to five mills. The Clover Leaf has bought 6,000 tons and the Chicago & Eastern Illinois 10.000 tons, while the Southern railway is in the market for an additional 18,000 tons. The recent rail contract fx‘»||1- ance placed with an KEastern mi e v or 20,000 amounted to 85,000 tons, tons more than at first reported. Let Up in Pig Iron, Pig-iron buying has shown some let up in the east and central west, but at Chicago inquiry is heavy and a large Milwaukee foundry has taken a round block. More important foun- dry interests are providing in part for their needs in the second half of next vear, but producers are holding back as to that period. A number of blast furnaces are get- ting on narrow margins in their coke supply because of the freight embar- goes and here and there a stack has banked awaiting coke. he market for prompt coke has advanced sharp- ly and as high as $3.50 has been paid for considerable lots. LITTLE TOTS MEET MR. SANTA CLAUS Children of Lafayette Sewing School Find Him to Be a Fine Type of g Gencrous Gentleman. Kris Kringle, genial, hale and hearty made a visit, an early one it's true, to the headquarters of the New Britain Boys’ club this morning sometime in the wee small hours when he ig wont to shower his gifts upon deserving mortals and prepared the rooms for the annual Christmas party of the mites who belong to the Laf- ayette Street Sewing club which was held this afternocn.
