WEDNESDAY EVENING, f|^fe«oaa-e-pe^asf TO SPEND MILLIONS FOB STEEL MATERIAL Pennsylvania Railroad Indicates Requirements in Report For Bids A partial clearing of the business and financial skies is seen in the action of the Pennsylvania Railroad yester day at Philadelphia in asking for bids from steel manufacturers on 170,000 tons of steel rails, which will be tho requirements for lines east and west for the current year. At the usual price of |'2B a ton this order will total $4,760,000. On Saturday the Pennsylvania asked for bids for 17,600 tons of structural steel for bridges and 1,270 tons of steel for reinforced concrete work, a total of 18,870 tons, which Is expected to cover the company's requirements for steel of this sort for tho current year. Prices for structural steel of this character vary from S6O to SIOO a ton. Averaging the order at the lower figure, the value of this contract when placed will be $1,132,200, making a total of $5,892,200 which the Pennsyl vania Railroad promises to give shortly to the business world. The requirements for the current year, placed at 170,000 tons, compare with 132,432 tons ordered In 1914. Tho Pennsylvania management said yester day that orders would be placed for early delivery of 150,000 tons of 100- pound section rails, in accordance with the revised specifications of 1915, the balance of 20.000 tons to be ordered later, East year the railroad ordered 15,000 tons of 120-pound rails for the purpose of comparing the heavier rail with the 100-pound rail generally in use. It has not been stated whether any of the 20,000 tons to be ordered later this year will include rails of this type. Based upon the awards in recent years, somewhat less than one-half of the rail order will nrobably go to the Steel Corporation, while an order for a simi lar amount of rails will be divided equally between Cambria Steel and Pennsylvania Steel. The balance will probably be shared by Lackawanna Steel and Bethlehem Steel.

PIC Flows FIRE IN SUBWAY TRAIN [Continued From Elrst Page] some persons were thrown down and trampled on. Victims I.a i<l on Sidewalk As fast as the unconscious victims were removed from the tube they were laid on the sidewalk, carried into stores and offices and given first aid by squads of firemen and surgeons. So great was the demand upon the fireflgliting forces of the city to aid in the work of reviving the uncon scious that hurry calls were sent by telephone to Brooklyn for aid from the firemen there. As the fire began to cool lons streams of firemen, each carrying in his arras an injured or unconscious victim, entered the two stations. The j victims were placed in tho open air iand the firemen went back for more. Collisions Given as Cause Unofficial reports gave the cause of the lire as a collision between express trains. At the time of the fire the sub way contained smoke from a previous tire extinguished only a few minutes before at the Spring street station. It was shortly before 9.30 o'clock that wisps of smoke began to curl from a crater. Hose was directed between the two stations. The" spot where the tire burned liercest was op posite Fifty-sixth street. Hampered in their efforts to reach the blaze the firemen dug into the pavement with their axes. They succeeded making a hole above the subway at Fifty-third street. From this opening belched a volume of smoke and , tlames as if from a crator. Hose*was directed through the opening and even hand extinguishers were used. Ambulances on Scene For ten blocks the streets were lined with the ambulances that came from all over the city. A cordon thrown around Broadway by the po lice held in check tens of thousands of spectators. Two hundred persons in all were I taken to the Polyclinic, the surgeon said, but as far as lie knew, with one exception, none had been fatally in jured. Dr. Martin G.
