The canvassers alone took J1,000 and the contributions and pled- Bes before noon today had been fig- ured at $1,734 with many to come in. The taggers numbering about 150 Hebrew young ladies work- ed hard and faithfully and that they did not labor in vain was attested when the returns were counted last evening in the office of George Le Witt, chairman of the relief commit- tee. _ Tt required over two hours and a Faif to tally the work of the can- vassers and much credit was given the workers for the splendid results.

It is not at all improbable that en Jacob Bayer is arraigned in police court tomorrow morning the hand of the law may descend upon him with about twice its ordinary weight for not only did Bayer fail to appear in court this morning, as he promised to do, but today he re- peated the identical offense for which he was arrested last night. Officer William C. Hart arrested him last night when he drove along the street in his automobile minus license markers, with no lights burn- ing and without his car registration license or his own operator’s license. He was permitted to go on his promise to appear in court today. He did not appear and his arrest was ordered. This morning Officer Johnson rearrested Bayer. 1epeated the offense of last night, for he was driving his automobile about the city streets without markers and he was not armed with registration license or operator’s license. He was locked up at police headquarters until he could obtain a bondsman to the extent of $200. This makes two counts for the same offense against Bayer, Asked why he did not appear in court this morning he explained that Theodore He had ser. The committee in charge of the work was: George LeWitt, chairman, George Gans, in charge of the lady canvassers; Attorney M. D. Saxe who had charge of the mens contribution Mut; M. Zucker, treasurer Dr. B. L. Protass, S. W. Menus and I. Simons. They were assisted in counting by A. M. Rose, Martin Robinson, G. Teitel- baum, A. Greenberg and A. Pouzzner. The committee desires to express its great gratitude to the public for the generous response to the appeal for ald and especially to thank those who @We to the lady canvassers. The call was answered by all classes re- gardless of race or religion. The local Hebrews are arranging for a big mass meeting to be held the third Sunday in February. The com- mittee meets every Thursday evening to carry on the campaign of collec- tlons which bjegan among their own people 21 weeks ago. To date New Britain has given $4,000 which has béen forwarded to Felix Warburg of New York, treasurer of the Ameri- can Jewish Relief fund. $15,000 in Hartford. Hartford, Jan: 28—It was estimated today ; by the committee in charge that the local contributions this week for Jewish war sufferers in Burope amounted to between $12,000 and $13,000. Of this sum about $5,000 was collected on the streets and by house to house canvassers, /Thurs. day, vhich_was, known as tag.da; A total of about $15,000 is expected here. Bridgeport Gives. $3,500.

Ansonia, Jan. 28—Up to noon today $600 had been delivered at the An- sonia National bank as the result of the Jewish relief fund collections in ghis city yesterday.

A novel innovation in the adminis- tration of the board of public works and water department occurred on Main street this morning when the permanent pavement was washed of all dirt and dust in the vicinity of City hall and the west side of Main street. Under the direction of officials in this department, line of hose was attached to a fire hydrant and a powerful stream of water was plaved on the pavement, washing the dirt and dust, which had become a pasty mud, into the gutte and catch basins.

It was denied in charity depart- ment, circles today that the depart- ment intended to giye an increase in salary to Suberintendent Kibbe of the town farm to the extent of $300, as was reported in another newspaper. Superintendent Kibhe will receive a smaller increase at the February meeting of the charity commission. Superintendent Kibbee and his wife now receive $1,000 and it is stated in the contract that if either party to the agreement wishes to sever nections, notice must be given on before January 15. As the Kibb have received no notice that their ser vices would not be required further they will remain at the town farm. The reason no action was taken on the salary increase at the January meeting of the board was because the full board was not present and the contract itself was not acted upon. There is considerable doubt wheth- er the charity board will endorse the plan of the health commission to have Superintendent Kibbee act as custo- dian of the municipal slaughter house which it is proposed to erect at the town farm. Mr. Kibbe is sup- posed to give his entire time to the management of the farm. con- or BOYS' LEAGUE MEE Smalley School Youngsters Speak on American Inventors, The Boys’' Patriotic league, Nathan Hale Division, had its regular mect- ing at the Smalley school today.

A historical play was rendered by cieven boy It was entitled: Beginning of Negro Sl 978 e cf the first landing of slav ginia by a Dutch schooner. The boys who took part were: John Kerner, Bennie Hunker, Edwin Ellgren, Lewis Rosoff, David Rosen- berg, Samuel Gordon, Penc Halpin, David Sherman, James Shahrigian, John Backus, Ladislaus Kawalsky, John Kerorkian, Adolf Cook, Edward Jenning: Amedio Gregory, John Krakowska, Archie Blair, Bernard ilenry, Bennie Paries, George Pav: Joseph Volz, Charles Supsinskas, Sid- rey Tempkin, Samuel Spector’ and John McNe AND STILL, ANOTHER.

New York, Jan. 28.—The Iron Age vesterday said: The scale of earnings of the United States Steel corporation, learned through the announcement of Tues- day afternoon, puts the stamp of definiteness on the high level of pros- perity of the steel trade as a whole. With prices half again and_in some cases twiee high as they were a vear ago and a volume of shusiness two and two and one-half times as ereat as in late 1914, we are still moving in the direction of higher yrice: The incessant demand for material booked and the repeated efforts to find takers for the large volumes for export give some indica- tions of the promise of 1916. There are clouds on the but as yet not portentous. Ocean freight charges twice the seaboard c of material are making it in- creasingly difficult to close for de- sirable export business. High, prices are checking new projects, though as yet these total to a moderate vol- ume only and may mean merely de- ferred consideration in some cases. New buying is one the whole not heavy, but this cau the mills no concern with their bewildering piles of orders for months ahead. Labor shortage in different lines is a factor of uncertainty. Set By The intermittent backing up on mill operations, and the increased indefiniteless on de. livery promises, augmented on th account, is a deterrent, in addition to high prices, in holding back busi- ness. The price advances are largely due to buyers themselves, who are enxi- ous to have mill positions beyond iheir present protection, but the mills still resist opening books for much in the third quarter or for anything in the fourth qrarter. Meanwhile second quarter rollings are clearly getting forced into the third quarter, so it is perhaps not surprising that consumers are willing to commit themselves even for deliveries into 1917, with the price a secondary consideration. Railroads Buying Dull. Generous railroad buying is not xpected in the immediate future. Toarnings of railroad must be swelled to the levels of ten vears ago, it is held, hefore their pet bridge jobs and cars in quantities will be con- ldered. Raw material prices going into these products are high but suf- ficient competition exists so that the high prices of the finished bridge work of 1906, for example, have not yet been reached. Tt is fo be re- membered that haulage of freight r export, now a feature, is not done at domestic rates. Our London cable announces the jooked for fixing of prices on steel products, but British steel makers are not willing to sell at the prices and export business practically suspended. Tool steel included. Steel plates are put at $54. per ton, beams at about $54 and sheet bars at $57.15 horizon Embargocs. embargoes are is 7.15. $55 Per Ton. Wire rods have been sold here for export at about $ per ton, Pitts- burgh, and some business has been done in barb wire at $5 to $10 over Gomestic prices. A recent export sale of 80,000 tcxes of bright plate was done at hetter than $3.75, Pittsburgh, and $4 tin plate is regarded s an early possiblity. Blue annealed sheets are per ton higher and now prac- tically on a parity with black sheets. ‘Want Machine Tools. An enormous demand for machine tools from abroad is developing. There is one inquiry from Russia Zcr no less than 3265 machines Domestic demand is becoming strong and some buyers are arranging for 1917 needs. Wages to Lake Superior iron-ore miners are to he advanced very gen- erally on Feb, 1 an average of 10 per cent. This is in addition to the recent restoration of the 10 per cent. cut made at the time of the depres-: sion of something over a year ago. The rail business of the week came from the Central West. In addition to the 30,000 tons of the St. Taul placed with the Steel Corpora- tion, independent rail makers have cived 8,500 tons from the same road.
