BUSTON AGENTS HEAR Sagamore Was First Subma- rine Victim out of That Port. —_— Boston, March 16.—Agents of the ‘Warren line announced today they had received indirect word that the British ~ steamer Sagamore, which sailed from Boston February 21ifor mrhv:.l""“ had been sunk by & subma- 1 4 The Sagamore was in command of Captain P. Cummings and had a crew of fifty. She carried a general cargo including munitions for the British government, and was armed astern with a 4.7 inch gun. Vessel and car- g0 valied at $1, declining: to give thé source of thejr information, Warren line of- ficlals said they were satisfied the ves- | - sel been sunk. They explained that delay in reporting " her loss ‘probably was du an admiraity rul- ing'under which the ll-t of ships sunk by submarines is issued weekly . After leaving h the Sagamodre, the first vesseél ling out of this port to be destroyed by a. submagine since the outbreak of the war, an- chored over night at quarantine and started on heér voyage on receipt of wireless orders. Ordinarily the trip across is rhade in, eleven days. The British steamer Bay State of the Warren line, salling five days la- ter than the Sagamore, arrived at; Liverpoo! Tuesday, Captain Clnnmlnn ‘was making his first voyage on the Sagamore. It was stated at the British con- sulate Jater today that two Americans had signed as firemen in the Sag- amore’s crew the day before the ves. sel's ideparture. They were Michael Holloway and.John Henry, both _of Boston. While having no positive in- formation on this point, it was as- sumed by officers of the Warren line that the men-were aboard. DEATHS.

Mrs, Titus E, Arnald, a former resi- dent. of this city, died Tuesday even- ing at the home of her daughter, Miss Leura Arnold of New York, after a llggofln fliness. = She was 74 years and besides her daughter is sur- vived by -two sons, Charles and Stephen, both of whom live in Middle Haddam. She left New Britain eight years 8go. The funeral will be held Friday afternoon at 2:30 from the Congregational church in Middle Haddam. Interment will be in Union Hill cemetery in that town, T0 SALVAGE VESSELS “{ Cohen and Nelson May Merge Com- pany in $2,500,000 Couceran to Pro- The Cohen Motor Car ‘company of this city, Aaron G. Cohen and Nels J. Nelsoni proprietors, is considering a proposed merger with New York pro- moters to engage -in the salvaging of many of the richly laden merchant vessels that have been sunk at sea and near coasts by U-bogts and tor- pedoes during the past two and. one- half years. If the deal goes through it is sald that the company will be capitglized at $2,500,000." Mr. Nelson and Mr. Cohen have patents on an original submarine div- ing apparatus designed especially for deep sea.work.” The owners state that they have experimented with this ap- paratus and find that in deep water it works admirably. The proposed plan would be, it is understood, to use this diving apparatus to salvage sunken treasure boats after the war is over. The plan as it is understood is for the New Britain men to put into the cor- poration as their assets their patents on this diving boat while the promo- ters would issue stock and finance the ‘work of salvage: If practical and suc- cessful of such a plan is evident. Two New York men representing the proposed corporation have been in conference all day with Messers. Co- hen and Nelson and their lawyer, but o flnll ureement has been reached.

Hartford, March 15.—A new state prison on'a better site is recommend- ed by the special commission appoint- ed to deal with this matter, in a re- port made to the governor and by him sent to the general assembly today. The réport goes farther, it asks that a commission continue its search for a site, and. when such a place is found thaf the board of control give its sanc- ‘tion so that the comptroller can nego- tiate. the purchase,. the commission meantime arranging details in a pre- liminary way for new buildings and equipment so that In its report to the Steel' and Pig Iron Markets ‘The Iron Age saye: Times like these are without parallel in the iron. and steel trade. Pig iron since January has been advanéing in price by jumps and they have been frequently from two to three times the usual amounts. The advance in ateel has been steady since the'temporary halt in the middle of last year, but the biggest increments have been made in the last few weeks. If export demand may be seized on as substantially the main reason be- sides government’s needs for the later price increases, it is not yet certain that foreign buying will be checked. Large offerings in some forms of fin- ished steel have been made at the new prices. estic purchasing meanwhile has. not by comparison | been of large order, with some sea- sonal exceptions, but the advances have now had. the effect of driving in Anany . consumers. for ‘mill pmuetlon &t Prices below the new levels. - A - Thus far it is not ‘clear that the m-un on the producers will be re- Meved. : Certain it is that operating ‘and sales departments are resisting vigorously a condition in which their ‘hands are tied by commitments many months in the future. The volume of forward buying in pig iron is particularly significant, in 4lew Of the prices involved. Whether the?situation reflects the opinion of the consumer ;| with regard ‘to'—the length of the war or the effect of the participation of the United States in it must be left to conjecture. Recent sales of basic iron have left a comparatively limited _supply for further 1917 needs. A steel company in the St. Louis district ‘hought 10,000 tons; another steel company bought 20,000 - tons; some 40,000 tons was sold to an eastern steel company at $33.80, delivered, and u ward of 40,000 tons is. under inquiry ]’ for the east. A lot of 5,000 tons was closed at $2. above last week's mini- mum. ' Foundry irons are generally §1 to $2 higher than a week ago. A, Virginia interest after selling 10,00! tons at $31 for the first half of 191, disposed of upward of 8,000 tons foi the same delivery at $32. For this year Virginia and Pénnsylvania irons are now held at $36 and sales of southern foundry iron have been put through at $80, Birmingham, for the last half. Bessemer iron commands $1 to $2 above last week's prices for the last half. . The advances in. bars, shapes and | plates by the steel corporation, fore. casted last week, came sooner than expected and for much ter amounts. They may be taken mm as responsible for local sales which in a few cases have been the heaviest since December. It is an index of the strength. of things to note that con- tract buying has been entered into in wire and wrought pipe at the new prices made In the preceding week. It is now predicted that in & few days an advance of $5 to $10 a ton will be made in bolts and nuts and a corresponding change will be made in railroad spikes. Shipbuilding is still the big factor. On the Atlantic coast 24,000 tons of steel ship material has been sold in the last few days for the last Vi d of 1918 and the first quarter of 1919, and on the Pacific coast 30,000 tons. It is getting to be the practice to put ship shapes on a basis with ship plates and on some of this business for bet- ter than these deliveries §c has beer the figure. Eastern' plate mills have put up their quotation another notch, bringing ship plates to 7.50c per 1b. and ordinary tank quality to 6c. It is estimated that fully 100,000 tons of steel for shipbuilding purposes has beea offered at present prices. The Cunard line has covered for between 40, and 50 ships. Atlantié yards are being searched for space for eight more boats. Some 35,000 tons of rails have been taken by the-mills. These include -another 10,000-ton lot . for Alaska, 5,000 each for the Reading and the ‘Vgirinian and 3,000 for the Duluth, South Shore & Atlantis, For frog and switch work 10,000 tons have been bought. Two. roads have cov- ered for 25,000 tons of tie-plates. The recent contracting of the agri- cultural implement manufacturer, it is learned, was for their maximum re- quirements.
