STEEL WORLD DEAL DENIED Only "Social Affair" Wu Recent Meeting, Says Judge Gary. NEW YORK. Oct. IT. Judge E. H. Gary has issued a statement regarding the meetings of the American Iron and bteel Institute, which were held here last week with representatives from aU tha big steel manufacturers of the or IS United States and Europe In attendance. He says: "No private business waa transacted at the meetings. No international agreements were made, whether bind ing or otherwise. It was merely an oc casion when the foreign ateel manu facturers met the domestic and sat down to discuss matters of business. We told them what business we are doing and what prices we are charging and they met us with equal frankness. "W s sat as at a social gathering to talk over our business affairs in a friendly fashion. It Is Just as if three or four of the leading manufacturers of th world had come together to discuss the affairs of their respective nations with a riew to friendly relations, but without the power to enter upon bind ing treaties. "No Ironclad agreements could have been made at such a gathering. I don't think that the public need have any apprehension that any secret trade agreements have been decided upon be hind closed doors. The only reason that th meetings were not open to the public were that many of the men who spoke were un used to addressing audiences In public and would have felt embarrassment." The delegates are programmed to spend the day In Buffalo and Niagara Falls. Their special train of 14 cars will then move on to Gary. Ind.. for Tuesday. Chicago Is to have their at tention on Wednesday, Pittsburg on Thursday and Washington on Saturday. EGG-THROWER IS FREED aiixister, target- op missixe, bi:g3 him off.

SEATTTjE, Wash., Oct. 17. (Special.) Deputy Sheriffs Roberts and Mills an nounced tonight that they would make affidavit In the Superior Court tomorrow morning that the Injunction order of Judge Gilliam closing the "restricted dis trict" has been generally lenored. Upon the affidavits of the Sheriff s deputies, "WMmon Tucker, attorney for the Public Welfare League, will base on application to have Mayor Gill. Chief of Police Wap peneln. as well as property owners and operators in the vice district, cited for contempt of court. Since Judjro Gilliam signed the injunc tion order last Saturday, the vice district has been running without restraint, save in one or two places which closed tem porarily. Joe Marcelli closed h!s resort for a short time Saturday, but tonight it was running full blast. Jack Sheehan, proprietor of the Dfan Hotel, closed tem porarily, but, acting upon the advloe of his attorney, resumed ousinees en others in the King-street district showed no disposition to obey the court. Five Men Not Found. Deputy Sheriffs Roberts and Mills, to vhnm were irivan the copies of the court's order to serve, have been in the district since Saturday afternoon looking for the persons named in the injunction. Save In the cases of dideon Tupper. "Big Harry" Rogelet, Harry P. McKeown. M. A. McCullough and Sig Levy, the Injunction order was served personally upon the defendants. In the case of the five men Just named, the Deputy Sheriffs have Information that they hid to avoid being served with tha papers. "It is not necessary to serve a copy of the court's order upon each defend ant personally." said Wilmon Tucker. attorney for the Public Welfare League. "The court may take notice of the fact that the defendants have remained away from their places of business and their homes, for the express purpose of avoiding service. It Is sufficient that they have had notice and I believe that the defendants have had all the notice necessary. I have talked with the Deputy Sheriffs, who have used dili gence In trying to find all the defend ants, and I am convinced that the court's order has been violated. I shall ask the court to cite them-, for con tempt, and an opportunity will be given to fix the responsibility. All Places Are Running. "I am reliably Informed that every place In the vice district is running Just as If the court had made no order to close. It Is impossible wnicn ot ine at tendants or If ail of them have disobeyed the injunction. It will be necessary to bring them Into court to establish the responsibility. I believe that means will be found promptly to put an end to this law-breaking and this defiance of the courts. If this cannot be done, then there Is no law." Gideon Tupper, lessee and proprietor of "The Midway, ' one of the most no torious resorts, has been absent from his usual haunts for more than a week. The City Council's graft investigating com mittee has been looking for Tupper but no trace of him has been found. Among his acquaintances In the King-street dis trict, it Is reported that he will be ab sent until the investigation of police is finished. This afternoon David Zerwekh, presi dent of the Public Welfare league, called ufion Sheriff Hodge to close the district, which was running m defiance of the courts. Sheriff Stands Ready. Replying to the request of Mr. Zer wekh, Sheriff Hodge sold: I stand ready to take any steps necessary to carry out the court's or der. My men have been searching for nearly three days for five of the pro prietors of resorts and have been un able to find them. I am convinced that the Superior Court will take steps to uphold its dignity.. and to pun ish anybody found guilty of violating an order of the court. Before the court has had opportunity to bring the offenders before it, I cannot take the initiative. However, if the law con tinues to be broken, I shall flndla way to put an end to it. I shall see to It that no new district Is established." Between 1000 and 1500 signatures to the recall petition circulated against Mayor Gill were obtained yesterday. Representatives of the Public Welfare League circulated the petitions at vari ous churches in the city all day long. At the First Baptist Church alone, 30 names were affixed In the morning. At Plymouth Church, more than 50 signed during the day. The University dis trict eontributed liberally to the num ber of signatures also. Back Deer Surprises Albany Folk. ALBANY, Or., Oct. 17.

Utterly Wretched Rervoua Prostration Lome Endured Before Remedy Waa Found. Miss Minerva Reminger, Upper Bern, Pa., writes: "For several years I hod nervous prostration, 'and was utterly wretched. I lived on bread and beef tea because my stomach would not re tain anything else. I took many reme dies, but obtained no relief until I took Hood's Sapsaparllla, when I began to gain at once. I am now cured." Pure, rich blood makes good, strong nerves, and this is why Hood's Sarsa- parllla. which purifies and enriches the blood, cures so many nervous diseases.
