senior metallurgists in the school of applied science, have been working several months In the metallurgical laboratories at Tech under the supervision of Prof. F. F. Mcintosh, assistant professor of metallurgy, and have developed a new electric furnace process whereby they have been able to extract ferro alloys of managanese and silica from slag. These products are essential elements in the manufacture of steel, acting as de-oxidiz-Ing agents, and up to the outbreak of the war they were for the most part imported from Europe.

They are still obtainable but at prohibitive prices. Before Cast and Chorus Puts Last Touches on Big Amateur Production. More than 125 members of the cast and chorus of the Sur-Passing Show of 1915, which will open in the Schenley Theater tonight, spent yesterday putting finishing touches to their costumes and lines. Arrangements have been made to convey the cast and patrons for tonight's performance in buses from the Shadyside and East Liberty railroad stations and from several points In the downtown district. Promises of automobile trucks from the downtown department stores were obtained and arrangements have been made to carry the cast and patrons at 10-min-ute intervals from the leading points.

The big singing chorus was pronounced letter perfect at the rehearsal in th5 Young Men's Business Club Saturday night and it is predicted that the work of Walter Steinecker of the Apollo Club, who sings the role of Experience, and has a solo of "Auf Wiedersehen" Miss Thelka Beilstein in two solos; Mrs. W.

Trinity Protestant Episcopal Church following the Exposition Hall meeting. In introducing Dr. Stone. Chairman Gillespie said the new movement is going to take Its place with the rest of the great men's movements which have don so much for the churches.

When the founder of the movement rose he was loudly cheered. He said he wished to answer a few objections which had been advanced in Pittsburgh against his organization and declared that these objections were always started wherever the movement went. He said in part: ANSWERS OBJECTIONS. "I want to answer a few objections which I-ave been made airainst our nr. ganization.

One of these objections Is uaseu on a report mat we give communion in our clubhouse. This report Is absolutely untrue. We do not give communion in our clubhouse and even if we did we simply would be following a very definite precedent set by Jesus Christ when he administered the Lord's supper in a clubroom. "Another objection is that it is an Episcopal organization. Let me sav to you that within the last few months we have turned into the churches of Philadelphia 11.000 men from the Stonemen's organization and less than 8 per cent were of the Episcopal communion.

Before one takes the second degree, we require the candidate to be baptized, and he can choose his own church for thl? ceremony. Less than' 1 per cent of the men Joining the fellowship choose the Episcopal baptism. If I am as smart as those who oppose me fay I am. I am certainly not smart enough to be a good harvester for my own church. BASED ON CHURCH UNITY.

"This movement Is based solely upon church unity. It is a movement of men among Protestant churches. We are distinctly a Protestant organization. We are not antagonistic to anybody. We say that Protestantism means the open "SHrNSSK SUNT WILL OPLTI TONIGHT I I IIUiVIL SEEKSJMO.OOO Orphans' Asylum Sends Out Pledge Cards for Week's Fund Campaign.

NO PICNIC THIS YEAR Fifty thousand pledgs cards were distributed yesterday at all churches In the Catholic diocese of Pittsburgh as the first move in the campaign to raise $250,000 to complete the building- plan of St Paul's Orphan Asylum, in Idlewood. The pledge cards will establish the foundation of the fund, which will be increased during this week. This period will be known as Orphans' Week in Western Pennsylvania, through the efforts of 200 teams of 10 persons each, who will give all their attention from early until late to soliciting funds from the public. Inasmuch as the St. Paul's Asylum cares for orphans of all races and creeds, the fund is being raised along undenominational lines.

There will be no orphans' picnic this hat event, which has been an early sum- ler institution of Pittsburgh for many ears. The money which sympathetic 'ittsburghers always cave at the picnic expected to be doubled and trebled by with the urgent needs of the Institution. There are now 1,250 children in St. Paul's and many requests are received daily for admission of others. The committee has arranged for a thorough campaign of advertising-, so that it will be generally understood that the public, in giving toward the fund.

Is meeting an actual want and not merely establishing a fund for the institution. NEED ADDITIONAL BUILDING. When the Institution was located at Idlewood plans were made to meet conditions for many years. Five of the six buildings arranged for in the group have been completed and used for some time. There is urgent necessity for the completion of the sixth building, which will be used for dormitories and school rooms for boys.

To complete the work will require the $250,000 the committee has set out to raise. The distribution of the pledge cards Is expected to bring at least $75,000, the signers having a year to pay the amounts they sign for, in four instalments. The workers this morning will begin calling upon and telephoning business people and individuals throughout the seven western counties, soliciting funds. Every noon during the week a luncheon for the workers will be held in Kauf-mann's auditorium, beginning at 12:15 o'clock and ending a few minutes before 1 o'clock. Reports will be received from team captains and posted.

The campaign of advertising Orphans' Week is probably the most pretentious ever arranged for a fund campaign, because the campaign Is probably the largest ever attempted In Pittsburgh. HOME MAKES LEARNED MEN. A number of contributions already have been received from distant as well as nearby points, from men and women who, in their childhood days, knew the asylum as their only home. Among these are many who are now In affluent circumstances. At least 10 lawyers In this county were St.

Paul's boys and developed their capacity for study and Industry through the early training they received. A check for $500 was received from a Philadelphia man, who. In his successful days, does not forget the fact that when he was orphaned by the death of his parents and had no friends to care for him he was taken by neighbors to St. Paul's Asylum on the day his mother was buried. It Is a noteworthy fact that among the contributions received by mail before the campaign was formally opened were many small ones from mill and mining com munities whre the people know that, upon the occurrence of terrible accidents when dreds of children were orphaned, St.

MAIN EXERCISES THURSDAY With the baccalaureate sermon in the Highland Presbyterian Church yesterday by Rev. Dr. James A.

Kelso, president of the Western Theological Seminary, the week of commencement exercises of the seminary was Inaugurated. Rev. Kelso took for his subject "Follow Christ," from the text. Matthew 4:19, "Follow Me. and I Shall Make You Fishers of Men." "These words are significant," he said, "for ministers and especially for those who stand on the threshold of their careers.

This summons, 'Follow was not addressed by Jesus, like many of his words, indiscriminately to the multitudes, but was directed exclusively to two men whom the Savior had selected for membership in the Apostolic band. PERSONAL TOUCH WINS. "We must follow Jesus In His method of winning followers. The Inner spirit of his saving ministry may be summed up in a single phrase; It was intensely personal and individual. We must not depersonalize our methods if we seek to win men.

Imitate Jesus in this particular, yourur men, and you will Indeed become successful fishers of men." Ad-ded interest was lent to the exercises In the Highland church from th fact that George H. Cheeseman. one of the graduating class. Is a son of the pastor. Rev.

Dr. C. P. Cheeseman. At 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon communion service for the senior class was held in Seminary Hall, Ridge avenue.

The feature of this year's commencement exercises will be the dedication Thursday of the Administration building, erected during- the last year on the site of the old Administration building, which for years was a landmark. The new structure is novel in architecture and equipment and has been declared one of the most attractive and impressive semi-public buildings in this part of the country. Following, the dedication the public will be given an opportunity to inspect it. The commencement exercises proper will be held at 3 o'clock Thursday afternoon In the North Presbyterian Church, North Lincoln and Galveston avenues. After the exercises there will be a procession to the Administration building in Ridge avenue, near Irwin ayenue, where the dedicatory exercises will be held at 4 o'clock.

April 30. The policies destined for the next four years to govern 4.000,000 members of the Methodist Episcopal Church enrolled In 15,000 parishes throughout the world wh! be determined within the next four weeks by the twenty-seventh general conference of that denomination, which will be convened here tomorrow morning. Nine hundred delegates, comprising equal divisions of clergy and laymen, have been chosen during the last year 'by 132 annual conferences in Europe, Asia, Africa, and Xorth and South America to participate in the deliberations of this gathering, which is the world-wide legislative body of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Among the non-e'erical delegates are a few women, who have been eligible for membership since In the opinion of leading members, this conference, by the nature of many of the questions to be submitted for action, will be. the most important since the first delegated Methodist assemblage was held in York city in 1812.

Many of the delegates come from Germany, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria, France and Russia, where Methodists are fighting on both sides In the European conflict. A place on the program has been given them to present their impressions of conditions in the war-stricken lands, and for tho first time since the outbreak of the wa-, to report to their co-workers the resul: of the struggle on their efforts for the spread of Methodism. Other delegations will represent the churches in the neutral European countries, Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Switzerland, where normal conditions of church work have been overturned. The mission fields of the Far East, where political changes of great importance have occurred since the last conference, will be represented by bishops, missionaries and native workers, who will also! give an accounting of their labors. While these churchmen from outlying fields are detailing the story of interrupted work and of hardship, the conference will deliberate upon a plan designed to unite a rift in the American church, brought about by the same differences of opinion that led to the Civil war.

Since 1845, when the Methodist churches of the Xorth and South separated over the existence of slavery, Methodist membership has been divided principally between the Methodist Episcopal Church Xorth and the Methodist Episcopal Church South, each with its own organization, but teaching the doctrines of John Wesley, Other scattered bands have also occasionally left the mother church to form separate Methodist denominations, of which, however, there are less than a dozen, with a membership much less than that of the two great divisions. Acting on a feeling prevalent both in the Xorth and the South that these bodies should come together in organic unity again, the present general conference will devote a portion of the sessions to discussion of plans intended to effect this union, with the possible addition of the minor Methodist bodies. Former Pittsburgh Pastor Falls Dead WASHIXGTOX, April SO. Rev. George Orbin fell dead this afternoon at the home of Miss Mattie Driver, with whom he was spending the day.

Mr. Orbin was born in Ohio. He was a veteran of the Civil war, and for the past three years had been doing visitation work In the hospitals of Pittsburgh. In closing his morning sermon in the First Methodist Church, he said: "Fifty-six years ago the Methodist conference could not decide whether a man as frail, physically, as should be admitted to the ministry. Here I am 76 tomorrow and not retired yet.

I expect to continue in my work until I am called beyond." Rev. Orbin formerly -was pastor of the Pacific Avenue Episcopal Church, Pittsburgh. Alumni of Harvard Convene Here May 19 Thomas W.

The turpentine will cause the second coat to dry with a semi-flat surface. After a suitable drying period, the third coat may then be applied. No turpentine or th'nner should be added to the third coat of prepared paint, since it is desired to obtain a film rich in oil.

MOST Bll SIGN EMPLOYES CW1TS Demands on New Wage Scale Agreed To by 176 Out of 203 Employers. There will be no general strike of barbers at noon today, it became known last night. Up until late Saturday night 126 contracts were signed by employers, out of 203. agreeing to the demands of Local Xo. 20 of the Journeymen Barbers' Union, and A.

L. Overcashier. district representative, said that at least 50 more contracts would be signed before noon today. In any event, it was explained, the strike which may happen would work no hardship on the public, as they would er'ect only 75 men throughout the city in event of the refusal of employers to sign the 50 contracts prenvsed for today, the number of barbers to strike would not be more than 15i. Reprspntiti ve Overcashier said last that following the meeting of the Pittsburgh LoopJ No.

2 last Thursday a strike was declared in a Smithfield street shop. It affected only six men, and they quit work Saturday. The reasons were that the proprietor refused to sin the new wage scale ani employed nonunion men. The Pittsburgh movement is for a minimum weekly wage scale of $15 and 60 per cent of the revenue above $24.50. It is understood that the international headquarters of the Journeymen Barbers' I'nion in is supporting the Pittsburgh movement and under orders frrcn that body no union man will be permitted to work after noon today if his employer has not sisne 1 the new wa'se scale.

The presence of this scarcity has stimulated the experiments at Tech, which have been conducted to devise new means of obtaining manganese and silicon. These products are found in the slag which is left in great quantities in the manufacture of steel and which has been practically a waste product, and it has been the object of the experiments which the Tech students have been making to util-1 ize this large waste in slag produced daily in Pittsburgh. Two larxe steel concerns have taken an interest in these experiments, and have made shipments of slag to the Tech laboratories and they will be supplied with reports of t'i' results of the experiments. From this alloys of manganese and have been extracted and the experiments have demonstrated that these alloys can be produced at a reasonable cost. The power consumption and production costs have proved low enough to make the proposition feasible commercially.

Stone In the forenoon addressed 2.C00 men outside of Emory Methodist Episcopal Church, the auditorium not being Jarge enough to accommodate the crowd. Most of them were Stonemen. Members of the regular Bible class were scattered in the crowd. Dr. Stone said in part: "We have started something already begun in Pittsburgh.

This Is the most wonderful Bible class I ever attended. We have nothing like it in Philadelphia. We have created a stir in Pittsburgh. We are going to do a great deal more. All this industrial unrest they talk about will vanish." In the services In the Shady Avenue Baptist Church the founder of the organization was introduced by Dr.

G. A. Dillinger, who, in presenting him to the congregation, stated that he was one of the great leaders of the country. In his address Dr. Stone said: "We have found a common meeting place between the employer and employe.

I am not going to speak on the fellowship, however, but on STOP FOR DEVOTIONS. When Pr. Stone had about half finished his address and was in the midst of an oratorical climax one of his followers, who sat in the front seat, created a stir by exclaiming in a high voice: "Excuse me; it is 12 o'clock, and we have to go to our devotions." There was a pause for a minute. All the Stonemen present, as well as the head of the order, bent their heads for half a minute. Dr.

Stone continued: "If everyone would offer up a prayer for 30 seconds in Pittsburgh at noon every day you would not hear any more about strikes. You would not hear any more about Industrial troubles." "ASSAILANTS JEALOUS." In answer to the query whether the Stonemen had any sectarian objectives. Dr. Sone. said: "The organization is absolutely non-sectarian.
