To raise the necessary amount at .this time and for the rooms proposed would be a difficult undertaking Is felt by prominent members of the association, and seemingly there Is now a willingness to forego the plan. In the opinion of Judge Lowell, I chairman of the association com- mittee, M 0,000 Is too large an amount I to raise for the purpose, though he says the committee will take the matter up when Mayor Fee returns and see If there Is any hopes of car rying out the project. 00D L DFTHIRD STORY WOtXD REQUIRE $10,000 TO ADD TO THE CITY HALL i The City Cannot at This Time Stand the Additional Expense, Which Most Necessarily Fall Cpon the Commercial Association and Private Subscriptions At Tills Juncture tlie Undertaking Appears to be Too Formidable Though a ' Sure Con clusion la Not Readied.

Pa., Aug. 21. This is the 85th birthday of John Fritz, iron master and Inventor, famous for sis perfection of armor plate processes, and one of the grand old men In the iron and steel Industry. A flood of congratulatory messages were receiv ed at his home In this city. Among the senders were leading members of (lie engineering profession In Ameil- ca and Eiii'bpe, captnlns of Invention nd Industry and the central figures of finance allied with the Iron trade. John Fritz is the nestor of the Iron trade In America. Ho began life as blacksmith in 1838. and in his long caroer has Docn loeniiuea wmi in most every Important step in tno pro cess of making iron and steel, which has resulted in an Increase of the American product of a million tons In 1838 to upwards of 25.000,000 in ISO. The crowning effort of his lire ivbb the conception, the designing nd erection of the great rorgo ana nrmor r ate nmni oi i" duw.i. Steel company, of which he was the chief engineer and superintendent frnm 1880 to 1893. Mr. Frlta is a striking example 01 the typical American, born or poor parents, who were solid, substantial nnfl nod-fcarlng. With only a district school education; gained in the mid dle 'part of Pennsylvania, he startea life with the stimulus ana opportuni ty that American citizenship gives, ild' attained a position in me steei Industry that is recognized By tne whole world. He is the only man now living of the small group that Intro duced InW the United States the Bes semer steel process. A great eco- nnniipAl revolution was tnereDy et- fo-tod. from which has flowed me tremendous development seen today In, tecl manufocture in tne unnea States. The leading men In the in dustry today are the pupils of John Fritz. , . ' . . ; In 1893 the British iron, ana oicci Institute gave Mr. Fritz the Bessemer gold medal, which Is atout me inki est distinction a steelmaker can re ceive. In 190Z, on me sum mmw of Mr. Fritz, the occasion was sig nalized by the founding, of the John Fritz gold medal for acmevemeui ... v.. inrinntrlal sciences, the medal be- ing awarded annually by a committee of the American society 01 - glnears. the American nocitiiy "i These Inventions started an economi cal revolution In steel manufacture. In the early days of the Bethlehem Iron works the newly discovered pro cess of making steel by blowing air through melted cast ' Iron reached America, and outside of the few per sons engaged in the experimental plant at Troy, N. Y there was none more Interested In the study of the process than Mr. Fritz. His experi ments wars conducted to a most suc cessful Issue. Mr. Fritz played an Important part In the upbuilding of the Iron and steel Industry in eastern Pennsylvania only to see the center of steel produc tion shift to the westward, under the magnetic attraction of the ore sup ply. But he is of tho opinion that this tendency Is not to be continued uninterruptedly. He says that some rtnv the east is again to become a great iron and steel district. His pre diction is based upon his faith in the extensive ore resources of New Tork N'ew Jersev and Cuba, and In the per fection of the concentration and roasting process. This unusual pre diction gains weight when consider tlon Is given to the accuracy with which Mr. Frits has forecasted other industrial movements.- Twenty years ago he expressed the belief that tho Bessemer stcelmaklng process in America was gradually to decline, and the basic open hearth process would finally become supreme. The latter was then an Insignificant fac tor In steel production, but the ten dency of the present is unmistakably as he predictod. t , . Carey Art Land. Fred W.
