THE ALTAR Blanchard Stull, Aged 62, Wey. hether wedding bells will ring merrily, jangle much out of tune or cease to ring for Blanchard Stuil, aged 62, prospective bridegroom who left New York for this city Tuesday afternoony an intended . preliminary trip'to the one planned to the altar, depends wholly upon' the forgiveness of the bride-to-be or the interpreta- tion ‘given by ‘her to the version of happenings related to her by her aged suitor. Her name’ has, thus far, been ‘withheld and there is much spécula: tion to her identity. For fnstead of arriving in this city to be greeted by his fond oné with love in- her eyes, Stull landed in the Was on { clutches of a common Hartford police officer and faced Judge Edward L. Steele in Hartford police court yes- terday morning. e was fined $6 and .costs for being abusive to a ‘“New Haven” road passeriger conductor and refusal to pay his fare. But this was not the end of the errant bride- groom’s troubles. Although he had a wedding ring and another ring with him,{he had only $4 in cash .with him. Jail loomed up before his re- penant eyes until there was a happy thought. If there was a woman will- ing to promise to comfort and protect him during dark days, why could she not begin before the fateful words were said and get him out of durance vile for a happy honeymoon. At his request, the Hartford authorities com- municated with her, although still reticent relative to her name and ad- dress. Whether she will throw out the life line to get her aged suitor ashore and into, her possession has not been andounced. All the trouble was due to Stull’s going to sleep and, lulled ‘into deeper slumber ' by the motion of the train and click of the wheels, he did not know that Berlin Junction had been reached his point of transfer passed and that he was being carried further and further towards cold and unwel- coming Hartford. At least, he did not realize until along came a common conductor and wanted such a paltry thing as a ticket. All the world may love a lover and perhaps *‘“connie’ would have passed the aged bride- groom-to-be, had he known. But, in- stead of lovey, dovey and cooey words, Stull is reported to have waxed indig- nant with words more generally asso- ciated with men of a lower strata of society than a man going to get mar-~ ried. A cold unsympathetic poli:e- man took him in custody at Hartford. TO SEW FOR RED CROSS.

The conservatives, although insisting, as usual, that the other parties observe & political truce in the interests of the fatherland, have adopted and .pub- lished a set of resolutions sharply at- tacking the chancellor and arraigning the government for weakness and va- cllation on the peace question and in dealing with the strike agitation. The resolutions express grave con- cern at the steadily growing influence of the socialists, whose peace-making efforts are directed to be leading Ger- many to the brink of ruin. Apparent- ly this attack was timed to coincide with the opening of the Reichstag and it is"significant that the resolutions are endorsed by the gree conservative wing under Baron Von Seydlitz. Hitherto, he has been far less of an extremist than Count Westarp. Among the papers which are di- ! thei o ol e, o Kreuz Zeltung and the Deutsche Tages Zeitung. They accuse the premier of endangering the monarchy and of sailing a course prescribed by the so- clalists. The Berlin correspondent of the Hamburg Aftonblad declares that the political life of Germany is now passing through an era of strife and differences of opinion on external and internal quesglons, which daily grow more lively and of broader dimensions. The cérrespondent says that dissatis faction with the government’s policy is growing in all directions and that its reticence on peace terms is being used to sharpen mutual suspicions and the antagonism of the parties. . Socialists Justify Strike. The socialist Jeaders, he continues do not hesitate to explain and justify the latest strike movement on ' the ground of délay in the reform the Prussian’ franchise. On the other hand the pan-German reactionaries stop at nothing to prevent the forma- tion of a majority party capable of realizing the needed reforms in the body politic. The writer declares\that the na- tional liberals are coquetting with the conservatives and that the opportunist elerical center is intent only on a pre- servation of its own influence. His picture of the situation at the opening of the Reichstag, in other words, one of general strife in which each man’s hand is against every other, a condi- tion promising an illuminating parlia- mentary discussion on all the ques- tions in dispute. This condition prob- ably explains the décision of the so- cialists, whom their opponents accuse of having captured the chancellor, to postpone the proposed interpellation on peace and perhaps put the brakes on a discussion of the problems of political reform. The Berlin Vorwaerts, in an editor- ial signed by Herr Landsberg, a so- clallst deputy, attempts to.convince the workmen of the necessity of going easy with reforms until peace is se- cured. . % The no indemnity plank of the so- cialist peace plan has been selected by bhis opponents for their heaviest at- tack against Phillip Scheidemann. The workmen are told that ruin for the- empire and penury for themselves are certain unless a heavy indemnity fis exacted. Otherwise, they are informed the war will end with a German debt of at least 120,000,000,000 marks de- manding a taxation of half a billion marks for interest and redemption, in addition to three billion for normal expenditure.

HERALD. THURSDAY, MAY 3; 1017 Steel and Pig Iron Markets The Iron Age says: At the meeting of the steel manu- facturers on April 26 to arrange for | #pportioning government. orders for war- purposes it came out that 610,- 000 tons of plates, shapes and bars Would be required for schedules al- ready made up, while in all forms-of steel the year's requirements are pul 1,100,000 tons. At the:2.80c price for plates and 3.50c for shapes and bars some of the smaller manufac- turers, buying raw material at miar- ket prices, could scarcely come out even. ‘The steel trade has poted with great interest the intimations from informei sources that tle government in its next purchases of copper will pay \substantially the market price, in- stead of.exacting the sweeping con- cessions recently made.- The decision is highly significant. Wages based on sliding scale agreements are involved, as is also the prosperity of industries, which it is proposed to fax heavily for war purposes. . That plans are plainly shaping up for purchases of iron and steel, cop- per, spelter and all other metals by the United States government and the Entente' Allies, in combination is the outsanding fact in the situation to- day. That will mean that the indus- tries involved will not be and must not be sacrified and that the govern- ment, in putting itself alongside its allies, will be willing to pay prices which will maintain and not disturb the present condition of its leading industries. ‘While little can be said on this matter at present; its bearing on steel market conditions in the remainder of the war is highly important, the chief factor of uncertainty in the past month having,been the effect of the concessions the Entente Allles were likely to ask on their future ' steel purchases. Prices of pig iron, semi-finished steel and of several forms of finished steel have advanced in the past week. ‘While the shipping problem has grown more serious, resales of material in- tended for export, for which vessel room could not be found, have been in nearly all cases at higher than original prices. Consumers of steel, finding that im- mediate government needs were hav- ing & marked effect on mill schedules, have been bidding against order books already too well filled- Plates have sold at 6.50¢ up to 7.26¢c, Pittsburgh, for tank quality and at 8c for ship quality. Shapes for export have brought 4.76c and angles of bar mill size, 4.50c. Advances of $5 to $10 per ton have been made on black and galvanized sheets. There have been sales of light rails at $6 a ton higher than recent prices. The scarcity of reroll- ing rails is more marked. _ Independent makers of black and have announced a six-pofiit reduction in discounts, representirig $13 per ton advance. The leading interest has not followed as vet, but has done so on similar advances heretofore. Inquiries for shell rounds for the government have appeared, but whether the government or the mu- nition maker will be the buyer is un- certain. One lot wanted is 4,000 tons of 2 1-2 and 8 inch bars. Rallroad car prospects have dwin- dled until less then 500 cars are under consideration. The foreign ing quiries recently made much of are still in abeyance. \ The returns of pig-iron production in April, compiled in record time, show a total of 3,334,960 tons, or 111,165 tons a day, against 3,251,352 tons in March, or 104,863 tons a day. Only October, 1916, with 113,189 tons aday, showed a higher rate of output than April, improved coke supply baving at last made an impression on furnace operation. The present rate of production is close to 40,500,- 000 tons a year, including charcoal jron. On May 1, 336 furnaces with a daily capacity of 111,662 tons were in blast, against 331 furnaces with a capacity of 107,766 tons a day on April 1. The ferromanganese situation, in view of the falling off in British li- censes for shipment to this country, is already & subject of international conterence at Washington. In some recent efforts to limit shipments to ‘makers of munitions steel it is ap- parently overlooked that other forms of steel ,as for ships, ‘are equally needed for carrying on the war. Prices range from: $400 to $500 per ton. Pig-iron buying for 1918 continues on a good scale and apparently more iron for this year is also needed than had been reckoned. Japan seeks 10,- 000 to 30,000 tons of basic for the last quarter. An Indiana steel com- pany has bought 20,000 tons of basic at Cleveland, and: two inquiries of 10,000 tons each are pending in Ohio. Bessemer iron has sold at $43 at Val- ley furnace, an advance of $1 in the week. 2 Foundry iron advances range from $1 to $2 a ton, all markets showing a tendency to higher prices on early delivery and in this forward deliveries share. Southern No. 2 iron at $35, Birmingham, for 1918 delivery com- pares with $38 to $40 for second and third quarters. Furnaces are mnot urging 1918 sales. but the desire to buy for next year is increasing. Rec- ord prices have been -made in low- phosphorus iron, an Eastern sale be- ing reported at $82. Lake Superior charcoal iron has advanced $5 in the week to $45 at furnace and one maker does not hesitate to ask $50. DECLARES FIRST DIVIDEND. The Equitable Realty company, in- corporated In this city a year ago, has declared its first annual dividend of seven per cent, on all preferred shares and an additioriat dividend of one per cent. This is considered to be of particular interest as all of the preferred shares are owned by local investors. The company is reported a8 being in a particularly prosperous condition. H. 0.
