O’Connell of New Haven, today brought action against Joseph H. Clark, et ux. of this city, to recover $4,000 for serv- ices as counsel for the defendants in the legal entanglement which was be- fore the public for several months, due to a dispute over the estate of the late Bridget Clark. The Elm city lawyer, in the writ, claims that at the time of Clark securing him to act in his interests in fighting the admission of the account of E. W. Schultz as administrator, Clark agreed to pay him $3,000 and to date he has kept his promise to the extent of $94. Entering in the memorable case on April 19, 1915, O’Connell. was con- spiclous in the press over his man- ner of fighting for his client, and it was only after the matter had been heard before Judge L. Waldo Mar- vin, who was called into the case, and decision rendered for the adminis- trator, that a final ending of a lengthy court litigation appeared on the ho- rizon. Prior to this case, Attorney O'Con- nell defended Clark in an action brought by Attorney Harry M. Burke of South Manchester, who had acted for him in earlier disputes. Today Constable Fred Winkle placed an at- tachment of $5,000 on property be- longing to the defendants. The writ is returnable in the superior court in Hartford on the first Tuesday in September.

TOO LATE FOR CLASSIFICATION. LOST—Bunch of keys. Finder return to Herald Office. 7-26-1dx Steel and Pig Iron Markets The Iron Age says: Buyers of pig iron and all forms of finished steel continue for the most part to hold aloof from the market, and their fear of what may happen to prices as the result of government action is in sharp contract with their willingness only lateley ta pay any price the produced might name. It is evident that finished steel in the hands of manufacturers and job- bers is of fair proportions, and the latter in particular are disposed to work down thelr stocks in the interval of waiting. Meanwhile the gavernment’s cost in- quiry goes on, with evidence that the problem of determining a representa- tive cost of any form of finished steel is found to be more complicated than was counted on at the outset. The summary ending of the ship- building controversy means an early inerease in government demand upan plate and structural mills ond the Steel Corporation’s formation of a ship- building subsidlary points in the same direction. The 3,000 tons of steel ves- sel capacity to be built in the coming year will take about 1,000,000 tons of plates, or about 50 per cent. of what the ship plate mills can produce. In no other line will so large a part of the total output be taken by the govern- ment, in spite of some loose statements from Washington as to the “govern- ment requiring the entire maximum output of the mills for some time to come.” There is some comment on the slow- ness of specifications on steel which manufacturers were officially told several weeks ago must be put through at once, one such lot being 40,000 tons of rails for the government's use abroad. No order for these has been received. For Italy an inquiry for 10,000 tons of plates and a considerable tonnage of wire and other products has come through Washington, but no mill was feund willing to take the business with the attached stipulation that the price would be fixed later by the United States government. This is the first test of the attitude of the steel makers on the proposal that the government and its Allies come in on the same basis, On the other hand there has been buying for France through the old channels, the French Mission through J. P. Morgan & Co. having already placed 25,000 tons of plates, out of a total of 50,000 tons, for naval vessels and canal and river barges, deliveries to be made in September and October. For hull steel 6c was paid and for boiler plates 9c. Japan’s requirements in ship steel are a ymatter of negotiation between the two governments, but for the present the needs of this country and of France and Russia are having precedence, with particular urgency for steel for the 500 Russian locomo- tives. It is estimated that 1,000,000 tons of iron and steel products for export, including machinery, are now on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts or in tran- sit to shipping ports. With such con- gestion and the delays in export li- censes .there has been some re-selling of pig iron and of products rolled for export it is understood that the French government has been willing to have deliveries on its shell steel heid up and precedence given to rails and track supplies of which a large ton- nage will go forward for the rehabili- tation of its railroad system under the direction of an American expedition of 1,000 men. The expected taking up of a large part of the capacity of leading fabri- cating companies with ship work off- sets the effect of high building costs on the structural trade . The present price of structural steel erected is around $150 per ton, as against $50 three years ago. > The production of enough tin plate to take care of the packing of per- ishable foods is now assured. Mills are still declining offers of export trade at attractive prices. Recent sales from stock have been at $13 per base box. A Dullness and in some districts evi- dences of weakening have been the pig-iron market's response to the dis- cussion of governmental regulation. It is recognized that for the present ac- tual government regulation of the general market has been averted, but the moral effect of low prices to the government on large quantities of fin- {shed materials is a matter of wide concern in view of the extreme ad- vances in pig iron. At Pittsburgh on some resales of Bessemer iron as low as $53, Valley, was done, and basic fron is normally $52. In Northern Ohio, some sellers have put a limit of $55 on No. 2 foundry iron as against $57 and $58 recently asked. Southern fron resales have shown a range of $45 to $48, but business has been very much restricted. Old material, always sensitive changes in sentiment, has steadi to halted. For a time covering of deal- ers' short sales regulated the down- ward movement, but in the past week such helps have been absent. In Northern Ohio heavy melting steel has fallen $6 in the wook, as low as $30 being reported. WILL DEPORT ANARCHISTS Immigration Officials Prepare to Send Goldman and Berkman From Coun- try Freed on Appeal. New York, July 26.—If Berkman and Emma Goldman, anarchists now being brought from federal prisons, freed their appeal of the charges of con- spiracy to obstruct the selective draft law steps will be taken to deport them according to statement by U.

Up to 2 o’clock this afternoon neith- er of the two local exemption boards had received the master draft sheets from the war department at Washing- ton, although they were supposed to have been mailed by yesterday at the iatest. Until these master sheets ar- rive it will be impossible for the boards to do any further work. It is expected however, that these sheets will arrive either late this afternoon or tonight. As soon as they arrive the exemp- tion boards will have to go over the lists and revise them according to the numbers in New Britain. That is, | they will have to cross out every number which is higher than the highest registrant's number in this city. The numbers that are left will then be numbered in sequence and in about a week, it is expected, the call will be sent out summohing the first numbers to appear for examination. At present it is estimated that the examining surgeons will be anle to examine about 300 men per day in | each district and the men will be called out in groups of about 300 un- til the total number of accepted men in each district is secured. In the first district, comprising the first, third and fifth wards, the quota is about 272, while in the second, district, composed of the second, fourth and sixth wards, the quota will be in the neighborhood of 239. A portion of the corridor of City hall has heen curtained off and it will be here that the men will be examined. They will be called be- | fore the surgeons, sixteen at a time, there being sixteen dressing booths | prepared. It is understood that the examination must be very rigid. | Members of the board stated today | that it may be a week before all | ! serves, i sponsible by routine and clerical work is checked up‘and the men are called upon £0% examination.
