Girl Companion of East Strest Man May Not Survive As a result of being struck by an pltomobile, said to have been driven by John Booth of 65 Mulberry street, Hartford, Julius Robert Litké, of 306 East street, died at the Hartford Gen- eral hospital at 1 o'clock this morn- Ing. His companion, Miss Florence Brinley of New Milford, a stenogra- pher at the State Sanitarium, Hart- ford today lies in a precarious con- fiition at the same hospital and little hope is entertained for her recovery. The accident occurred on the New Britain-Hartford road just over the _town line. Little could be learned of the accident. The state police are conducting a rigid investigation. The news of the death of young Litke was a shock to his many fr#ends in this city. Until recently he was employed at the New Britain Machine company, but left a few weeks ago to accept a position at the Etate sanitarium. Litke was one of the most patriotic young men in this city. Although rejected time and | again by army officials because of de- fective eyesight, Litke was not d: couraged. He tried to enter the navy, the army, the aviation corps, and other army branches but without mvail. In all he made five attempts to enlist but was rejected on each | occasion. According to his brother, Officer Gustave Litke, Julius was out stroll- Ing with Miss Brinley when he was hit by Booth’s car. The accident oc- curred about 0 o’clock and both yowng people were rushed to the Hartford General hospital. Litke was % unconcious and died without regain- ing his senses. Officer Litke called Lupon Suverintendent I2gan of the state L police at Hartford this morning but could secure no further details, Pooth, the operator of the car, is employed by the Edward Balf Co., Hartford. The machine is said to be- lortg (0 a mechanic at the Hartford police headquarters. The deceased leaves his father, Oscar Edward Litke; four brothers, Adam R. and Emil, both soldiers sta- tioned at Panama, Fred of New Haven and Gustave of this city; and 8 sister, Mrs. Henrietta Augustus of Haxtford. The funeral will be held from his late home on Saturday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock and from St. Mathew’s CGerman Lutheran church at 3 o’clock. Rev. Hheodore A. C. Steege will offi- clate.

GREATEST AIRPLANE MOTOR. Washington, Sept. 13.—What Is re- garded by American experts as the greatest military airplane motor ever built in this hemisphere has been in- vented in a war emergency collabora- tion of American inventors, engineers. military officers, and officials of the government. | Steel and Pig ! 4 Financial ; Iron Markets| —————— | The Iron Age says: | Readjustment in iron and steel | values is slow-paced and the govern- | ment situation is more complicated if | anything. A significant fact is that representatives of some of the En- tiating on their own behalf, indicat- ing the suspension, for the time at least, of efforts to get steel for them through the War Industries Board at the prices to be fixed later for the ‘Washington Government. The Attorney General has given an opinion that manufacturer members of advisory committees may cantinue their activities at Washington, by declaring their interest in each gov- ernment contract that may be taken by their companies. The steel com- mittee has not resumed its functions, however, as the opinion is considered vague on some points and machinery is lacking for complying with the conditions imposed. There is a steady run of govern- ment buying while the major war program is being worked out; BOV- ernment purchases, in fact, make up the bulk of current business. Indi- vidual consumers, in the general be- lief that the market will continue to decline, are doing no buying that can be put off. By the latest survey of Army and Navy needs, the mills will be called on to supply the government for more shell steel than has been talked of, in the great prominence given to ship plates. It develops also that some large shipments on shell steel con- tracts are yet'to be made to Great Britain and that that country will buy a considerable additional amount of such steel from the United States. Though a new plate mill at Pitts- burgh is to start early in October and further new capacity will come in by Jan. 1, the tonnage of plates that will be required for government ships, when projected yards begin building, will leave little or nothing for Japan. meanwhile some of the Japanese plates may be taken from the mills and stored in the hope of getting them released. Some producers of plates have been facing a shortage of gas coal in the past week and the possibility of a shut down due ta the concentration of coal shipments on the Northwest under priority orders. This situation, so far as the Easi is concerned, offsets in part the easier tendency in plate prices due to the embargo. Large requirements of fabricated steel for American operations in France are indicated by the placing of 100 steel buildings this week with the Blaw Construction Co., Pittsburgh, calling for 11,000 tons. Thirty-two other buildings also for France are pending. There is in addition $5,000,- 000 worth of steel buildings for the new gun-making Pplants of private manufacturers in this country. Ttaly is in the market for billets and various finished products and has offered $60 at mill for open-hearth steel. For eight vessels for ITtaly the American International ton has asked for plates, 5,600 tons of shapes tons of bars. Recent government purchases have included 4,000 tons of rivets and some large bolt contracts are pending, one calling for twenty million baolts. The government has added 14,000 kegs of nails at $3.20 to its recent purchases, these being for aviation camps. There has been a further settling of prices for semi-finished steel. A sale of 4 x 4-in. open-hearth billets has been made at Plttsburgh at $65 and one of 2000 tons of open-hearth in- gots at $60, delivered, netting $58 at mill. Sheet bars and slabs, however, have not been quoted below $75. The tendency to lower prices is seen in bars as well as in plates in the Central West and to some extent in sheets. Sales of several lots of steel bars for delivery in the first half 1918 have been made at 3.30c, Pittsburgh, and jobbers have hought for the last quarter of this year at 4c. Makers of agricultural implements have asked for prices for the first half of next vear but mills have held off. Pig iron resales are more frequent. Unconfirmed rumors have been wide- spread of the fixing of lower govern- ment prices on pig iron and these may have prompted consumers’ sales in the expectation that the iron could be replaced later on a lower basis. Generally pig iron prices have yield- ed $1 to $2 a ton. There has been $47 No. 2 Birmingham iron and $50 iron in the Middle West, and gener- ally resale lots have been offered at about $2 under furnace prices. tons and SUES FOR AUTO INJURIES.

SOMBRE DAYS ON STOCK EXCHANGE Bulls Excluded From Control at Another Session Wall Strecet—Sentiment was de- pressed by spreading of liquidating movement in the representative shares and by the absence of outside buying pPower. The rcporter loss of the English S. S. Minnehaha prompted active selling of shipping shares. La- ter the bears were given a sharp twist. Prices of the steels were run up to 2 to 21 poin beyond their lowest, and the coppers, equipments, motors, ‘oils and munition shares were also pushed up substantially. These gains were not held fully, as operators found it dJifficult to ad- vance prices without meeting a fresh supply of stocks. Bonds were easier. Liberty bonds sold at 99.90 to 99.96. Support was extremely poor and re- actionary tendencies were more pro- nounced in the mid-day period. Pub- ic utiities shares were supplied free- ly. St. Paul established a npew low record at 58. Atlantic, Gulf and Last Indies dropped 6 1-2 and South Porto Rico sugar 21 Closing—The later dealings were marked by improvement as short cov- ering made itself felt. Steel and oth- er favorites made up 1 to 2 points from the lowest. The closing was firm. Liberty bonds solds at 99.90 to’ 99.96. Sales approximated 700,000 shares.
