BISHOP MENGE
ISSUES DENIAL
Says So-Called Endless Chain
of Prayer Was a
Hoax.
EPISCOPAL DIGNITARY WRATHY
Associated Press to The Evening Times.
Boston, Aug. 10.—So much annoy
ance ance has been caused to the
Right Rev. William Lawrence, Episco

garding the so-called "endless chain of
prayer," which was alleged to have
been started by him, that the bishop
has found it necessary to issue the fol
lowing denial that he is not connected
with the matter. "The endless chain
of prayer said to be written by Bishop
Lawrence is a hoax. Bishop Law
rence of Massachusetts never wrote it
and knows nothing about It. It Is th'e
work of some demented or mischiev
ous person."
The denial that such a scheme had
been started by any church official or
dignitary was prominently published
in all Episcopal church papel-s as well
as *in secular papers of many cities.

Shea was elected to succeed himself
as president of the International
Brotherhood of Teamsters in the con

serious opposition. C. F. O'Neill of
Buffalo and J. Geary of St. Paul were
made vice presidents, and Ja&es
Welch, New Orleans, and John Long
street, Cincinnati, were elected
trustees. The other officers went to
Chicago men. The victory won by
Shea is marred only by the dissension
which led to' the withdrawal, yester
day of nearly fifty delegates and the
launching of a movement to organize
a rival international union. The se
cession movement was kept alive to
day by a number of Shea's chief ene
mies, who have enlisted the disquali
fied delegates from New York, San

SHORTENS LINE
BY MY MILES
Canadian Pacific Will Have
Direct Road to Toronto
Next Year.
Evening Times Special Service.
Toronto, Aug. 10.—By next summer
the Canadian Pacific will have direct
communication with western Canada
from Ontario over its own lines, in
stead of by the Grand Trunk to North
Bay, as at present. Rapid progress Is
being made on the Toronto and Sud
bury ranch, by which this connection
will be made, as reported by W. J.
Leonard, assistant general manager of
the eastern lines, who has just re
turned from a trip of inspection over
the new road. The branch will be 228
miles long, and already
77
miles of
steel have been laid at the soiUh end,
and 11 miles where the branch joins
the C. P. R. main line at Romford,
seven miles east of Sudbury. On the
balance of the road grading is finished
from Parry Sound south, and from
Bying inlet and Parry Sound the con
tracts were only let this summer, so
that this link will not be ironed until
next summer.
The branch is a very expensive one
to build, as it Involves a good deal of
cutting on the northern sections, and
several bridges of which the largest
are a steel bridge 500 feet long over
the River Severn and another 400 feet
long and 66 feet high over the Wahna
pitae both these bridges are now be
ing built, and will be finished this sum
mer.
The branch will shorten the distance
between Toronto and .Winnipeg by SO
miles and will be greatly used for the
through traffic between Ontario and
Winnipeg. It will not be very valuable
for local traffic, as north of the Severn
It runs through a very wild country,
which, however, will prove very at
tractive to summer tourists. The
building of this branch will relieve the
continually growing summer and
autumn congestion of the Grand Trunk
line to North Bay, which haB hitherto
been used by both roads. Its con
struction is also another evidence of
the lively competition being waged in
Ontario between the two big railways.

GREAT "PROSPERITY IN IRON.
If the Present Demand Continues All
Mines Will lie Crowded.
Cleveland, Ohio, Aug. 10.—The Iron
Trade Review says:
All indications point to great pros
perity during the remaining months
of the present year and at least the
early months of 1907. Although the
production of pig Iron for the year
ending July 1, 1906, was 24,432,106
tons, nearly 1,500,000 tons more than
the entire calendar year 1905, the pro
duction has not kept pace with the de
mand and there is now a marked
scarcity of all trades. Seven new blast
furnaces, having an annual capacity
of 880,000 tons have been blown in
this year and others will be in opera
tion at not far distant dates, but if
the present demand continues it is
doubtful whether even this capacity
will be sufficient. Prices are advanc
ing more rapidly toward those of the
boom period of 1902 than conservative
interests like to see, and in this ten
dency lies the only danger which now
threatens a long continuance of pros
perity.
There has been great activity in pi or
iron, especiallly In the west, and a
prominent feature has been the In
quiry for the future, some of It ex
tending through the first half of 1907.
In the east th'e large salse have been
confined to basic, which have aggre
gate dabout 125,000 tons, cleaning up
about all of that grade available for
this year's delivery. In Chicago about
100,000 tons Including all grades have
been sold, and the demand has not
been satisfied. In the central west
inquiries are now pending for 100,000
tons of basic for the first quarter of
next year, and the ruling quotation
is $17.50, while the quotations on Bes
semer for that period is $17.75 at the
furnace. To Cleveland, Toledo and
other cities, where furnaces are lo
cated, Iron is being shipped long dis
tances and some fancy prices are be
ing paid. Among the notable trans
actions of the week were 15,000 tons
of Bessemer sold at $18 valley.
