It started with a rough rash, and then my hands cracked open and would bleed, and it settled around my nails. My hands were much inflamed and swollen, and I had to have the nails removed. I lost many a night's rest. My hand:) were painful and burned, and to put them in water made them worse.

PLANTS [Continued Erom First Page] i of their holdings at figures which are • being carefully guarded. | The American Company was repre j sented by James Lord, its president; |B. Dawson Colejnan. a director, and ! Frank Reitzel, Its comptroller. These officials are the accredited representa tives of the majority stockholders, who, some years ago. under the lead ership of Arthur Brock, wrested from the controlling interest In the com pany from J. H. Sternbergh. of Read ing. 55.500.00t) Paid Schwab is reported to have fixed the amount of the capital stock. $j.500,- 000, as the price of the entire hold ings. By this purchase he will secure title to a modern twin bolt and nut manufacurinK plant second to none in the country and will be able to abandon his contemplated erection of a $3,000,000 bolt and nut plant in connection with his South Bethlehem works. The American plants alsb turn out large quantities of car forg- Ings and car ana railroad materials and include a new electrically operat ed steel mill. Speaking of the sale. Mr. Coleman said "The majority stockholders In the American Iron and Steel Manufactur ing Company have been considering for some time the advisability of dis posing of their interests to one of the large steel companies or consolidating with such a concern, and negotiations are now under way looking to this re sult. The minority stockholders will participate on the same basis as the larger interests." Schwab Purchases May Mean Shorter P. R. R. Line Across the State South Bethlehem, Pa., Dec. 4.—ln connection with recent reports that the Pennsylvania Railroad is seeking an entrance to the Bethlehem Steel Works and another outlet to New England through control of the Lehigh and New England Railroad, great interest has been aroused by the rumor that negotiations are under way for the purchase of the Thomas Iron Com pany by the Pennsylvania Steel Com pany, recently acquired by Charles M. Sch wab. Pig iron exclusively is manufactured by the Thomas Iron Company, whose most valuable asset is the Ironton Railroad, a short line built many years ago eight miles west of Hokendauqua for the hauling the hematite ores. Along this line the largest of the cement mills of the Lehigh Valley are located. Around this line may center a big scheme for the further develop ment and extension of the Pennsylva nia Railroad system . Tn this connection the revival of talk regarding the utilization of the old South Penn railroad, in South-Central Pennsylvania, started away back in the eighties by the Vanderbilts, is in teresting. It is reported that Mr. Schwab's plans for the development of his Bethlehem Steel properties will result in making the South Penn rail road a new and more direct route for the Pennsylvania railroad from New- York and Philadelphia to Pittsburgh. This much shorter route would be meant primarily for a freight line, but also would be available in fulfilling the Pennsylvania's dream for a shorter passenger route between Chicago and New York. This expansion program would also mean a new complete cross-state line with the Bethlehems and Steelton and the Schwab plants in an advantageous position on it. As far as negotiations have pro gressed, the contemplated plan Is to run a line starting at Dauphin or Dun cannon. which latter plan would neces sitate the building of a new railroad bridge across the Susquehanna river, through the Lykcns Valley to Schuyl kill county and then to a point near Tamaqua, where it would join the Lehigh and New England railroad. This plan contemplates the purchase of a half-interest or a bare majority of the latter railroad's stock. This line passes through Poughkeepsle and thence over the New Haven system. Award Contract For Annex to Sparrows Point Plant Baltimore. Md„ Dec. 4.—lt was an nounced Saturday that Irwin & Leigh ton, builders, of Philadelphia, have been awarded a contract for improve ments of the Bethlehem Steel Cor poration at Sparrows Point. This sum is a part of the $50,000,000 which Charles M. Schwab has promised to spend making Baltimore the biggest steel and shipbuilding center on the Atlantic seaboard, and as large as any in the United States. The improvements consist of an ex tension to the present gas-driven blow ing house, the erection of another such building and also a gas-driven electric engine plant. Work on the structure will be started at once. BIG INCREASE IN ALL SCHWAB PLANTS [Continued From First Page] otis New Year. General Superintend ent Robert H.

Schwab took over the old Pennsylvania Steel holdings and the third during the present year. The first increase of ten per cent, was given under the old Pennsylvania Steel regime on February J. May 1, shortly after the Bethlehem interests bought in the control of the Steelton plant another ten per cent, raise was made. Now with the third Increase the steel workers employed at the Steelton mills will be among the very highest paid in the country. Officials of the local plant did not state how many thousands of dollars a year the new Increase will boost the company's payroll, but It will run Into big figures, it is conceded. The wage increase at the Central Iron & Steel plant shows the prosper ous condition of the concern which has been in the hands of a receiver ship.

In his statement he denied that he had played anything but an innocent role in the suit against Mr. Osborne and asserted that the marked likeness between his appearance and that of the New York attorney was respon sible for the suit. Wax told of the flirtation which led to his acquaintance with Miss Tanzer and of his later attentions to her in cluding a trip to Plainfield, N. J., which is said to have directed the at tention of federal officials to the case. Look Strikingly Alike He insisted that he went to Mr. Os borne and told him of his acquaint ance with the case in the hope that he might clear the attorneys of the stig ma attached to the case, but because of the publicity given the suit decided it would b# dangerous for him to re main in New York. "Mr. Osborne and I look strikingly alike, although he is a much older man," Wax said. "In fact I put on his glasses and his wife laughed at the way It strengthened the resemblance. I am 36, Mr. Osborne must be more than 50." Wax has been living in Chicago six months with a woman known as Mrs. Ida Dorothy Wax, to whom he says he is legally wedded. A part of last summer he spent in Wausau, Wis., where as Dr. Francis E. Burke, he Is said to have been a social favorite. Until a few days ago he was employed here as head night porter In a down town department store. Mrs. Wax as serted that she had known her hus band only a a little more than a year and that they were married a year ago, but declined to say where. Wax Is neatly tailored and he is said to speak French, German. Italian and Spanish. He talked freely of his connection with the Osborne case, but of little else, except his record as quar termaster sergeant in the Twenty eighth United States infantry. The police say th,at he had served two penitentiary sentences, one at San Quentln, Cal., and one at Salem, Ore., both for swindling women. It Is al leged that he had preyed on working women In moderate circumstances, scraping acquaintances usually by street flirtations. Then the police say, after he has worked on their credul ity by promises of marriage, he ob tains possession of their small sav ings and disappears. Wax said he would waive extradi tion and W. O. Swain, a New York deputy post office Inspector, prepared to accompany him to New York with in a day or two. "Now that I'm caught, I want to clear tiie name of a reputable citizen,'' he said. "I want to be square with a man who had the reputation of being square."
