That -road experts also to place nn order for new equipment at the same time, though the size of the order stl'I Is undetermined. There is a similar tonnage of rails under consideration by the Great Northern, while the Pennsylvania Is understood ' to be "considering 1 75.000 tons and.the Southern Railway 20,000 toos.

of increased activity principally in it

shet and tin plate plants, will start its Columbus, Ohio, works on Jan. 2. Tbe plant is operated only under unusual demand. Treading independent Interests also will start up additional finishing? mill capacity. After the turn of the year, it is believed, the corporation 'will be running at the. rate of about 80 per cent of its possible output. Business brought out by the low

j prices is keeping the Pittsburgh mills

running at nearly full Capacity. The Carnegie Steel Company it putting Its

last idle open-hearth plants in the. Shenango Valley in operation, and ha. ordered the Columbus plant put Into "shape for immediate resumption. Jones & Laughiln Company w-111 start Us second set of twelve tin plate mills on Monday, making a., total of twenty-four hot mills in operation, or more than anysingle plant of the United States Steel Corporation, with the exception of the fifty-mill plant at New Castle. - AVorfc. For fiary Plant. .It is also reported that Jones &

'Laughlin 'will start the four new openhearth furances at Aliqulppa,. which have never been lighted. The company has four blast furnaces at this place, although, none of them Is in, blast at present. , In some places, especially nt eastern mills, improvement 'is slowet anplant8 are being operated only a? about, 50 to 60 per cent of capacity. : Only one fabricated steel contract of t considerable size has b-?en let in the pat week in the western distrit, and that is from th corpora'tion itself. This

calls for I.3S3 tons of steel for the Minnesota Steel Company's rail mill building ' at New Duluth. Minn. The steel will be fabricated by the American Bridge Company. Not In many mrtnths have the American Steel and Wire Company's mills been so busy. - Its plants are being operated attoot " up capacity. New business in 4 this ' department has been larger than reported' in years, and jt is probable that another advance nf $1 a ton in wire and wire nails will b,jnade in the near future. "

DEAN PUT BACK ON v WITNESS STAND

the promise. He denied this positively. lie was asked if when he came to Gary for the purpose of seeking an investment 'he had money 6f his own to invest. He said that he had no money of his own, but that he had friends who v.'ere willing to back him up in his various enterorises. HI Bmlaeaa Relation. He was asked if he had. not once employed a man by the name of Day, who was an ex-convict. This was intended to make It appear that he had been having business, relations with ex-convicts. Again, for the purpose of discrediting him. Dean was asked if he hadnot acted as(a - trustee, for a 'Louisville

woman and as . such had been deeded a piece of property which he refused to deed back to her. Dean referred to his notebook from time to time, to which the defense objected. The court overruled this objection on the grounds that lie. ought to be permitted to refresh his meiviory.' ,o Hallroad Back of Jt. , Tlie defense then asked Dean It the E., J. & K. railway was not back of the prosecution of -Gibson and the other cases against the alderman for the. reason that they had not permitted the closing of the Clark road, a thing that the railroad wanted done. Dean denied positively receiving any support; from the rs'lroad 'n this matter. Business dealings t w-ith Marjorie Camera and Belle Camera were dug up in an effort to discredit Dean, but; the witness was able to explain them all satisfacini-iiv. Dean was asked if he had not -hired a colored family to live in certain houses , in Gary so that, he could show that they were bringing in a good income and sell them to a better advantafe. He denied this. To Show Intention? He was asked If ex-Gov. Bradley of Kentucky had not put up $200 to save him " from "prosecution in an alleged crooked deal. He was asked If he did not go after a heating franchise for the purpose of catching the Gary aldermen and not with the idea of building a heating plant- and he said that he had always been in good faith in the matter

of seeking a franchise in Gary. An effort was also made to show that Dean was a detective for fhe United States Siee company. Most of the attacks on Dean were by veiled Insinuations and were not backed tip by a particle of evidence. It was plainly an effort to prejudice the jury against Dean. .- . Mar Finish Today.' It is believed'that the state will complete the Introduction of testimony by 3 or 4 o'clock this afternoon. It is believed that both the defense -and Dean will have witnesses from Louisville to testify In regard to Dean's character.' " In this connection Dean announced that one of the witnesses who swore against htm regarding a certain law stilt would be prosecuted' for perjury if he came back to Lake county, as he had secured a transcript of the case showing that the witness had perjured himself. The jury was kept In over Sunday,

except that it was permitted to take long walks together. In spite of the long confinement the jury seems to be in good spirits and not to be nervous and irritable, as might be expected.

employed by the company, in the depot, have been arrested In Chicago and are now locked up in the Kast North Avenue police station. Mr. Everingha'm has already identified the -prisoners aa the men who went through his pockets and ttole the railroad company's and the express company's money from the safe while'"he and Going were covered by"two revolvers. Going will visit the city today to add his' testimony to tha case against the robbers. ' One of the men is known "as "Biff Jack," and Mr. Everlngham had forgbtten the name of his companion who was with him on that memorable' occasion. . The two robbers were arrested with another pair of desperadoes in connection with the robbery of a downtown jewelry: store In- Chicago. Thejr are also suspected of having committed a number of holdups. .
