MILLIONS IN BONDS
OF "SHIPPING TRUST"
Investors of $17,728,000 in
International Mercantile
Marine Company Will Be
.. Urged to Deposit Securities
Unsettled conditions In shipping, duo to
the war, was tha reason advanced for the
movement launched by a commltteo of
financiers for the protection of tho hun
dreds of holders of $17,723,000 tvorth of Mr.it
mortcaso sinking- fund S per cent. cold
bonds of tha International Mercantile Ma
rino Company.
Tho committee Is composed of William
P. (Jest. T. Da "Witt Cuyler, Samuel V.
Houston, Charles D. Norton and QeorKe
8. Brewster. It was formed at the behest
of a number of holders of tho bonds. A
"deposit asreoment," dated November 12,
1M4, haa been drawn up by tho committee
and tho bondholders nr bolnjr urged to
sign It and to deposit their bonds In
noBotlable form, together with the cou
pon due February 1, 1316, with nil subac
count coupons with tho Fidelity Trust
Company, of this city or its ncont, tho
Bankers' Trust Company, of New York.
Certificates of deposit will bo Issued for
nil bonds dope-sited. T. Homer Athorlon,
secretary of tho commltteo, Is looking
after tho Interests of tho Fidelity Trust
Company.
A MEASURE OF PRECAUTION.
Tho action of the committee, It wns said
today, was not taken because of nny "In
Ida" Information of any weakness of tho
finances cf the company. It Is deemed
a. precautionary mcasuro to protect tho
bondholders. Tho bondholders, however,
In signing tho agreement and depositing
their bonds give tho commltteo full power
to nsk fot a receiver or tnko part In n
reorganization of Oie company.
In somo sections of tho (lnanci.il district
tho move of tho commltteo was believed
to bo tho first step in tho reorganization
of the International Mercantile Marino
Company, which Is a $1:0,000,000 concern,
Incorporated under tho laws of Now Jer
sey. It has been frequently called tho
"chipping trust."
Th rapid growth of the North German
Lloyd and Hamburg-America lines In re
cent years, which gavo them domination
In the various shipping pools. It Is report
ed, inado Inroads Into tho earnings of tho
company, although the year of 1313 wns
one of the best In the company's existence.
This organization for protection, uc
ccrdlng to ono of tho bondholders, was
a safety first move. He pointed out tho
companv had doferred Its Interest upon
, Its-tVi per cent, mortgage nnd collateral
trust bonds, which matured on October
' I, and declared It would probably default
In 'ItH payment of the Interest due Feb
ruary 1 on Its first mortsago sinking fund
( per cent, gold bonds.
CONCERTED ACTION NECESSARY.
This, ho said, necessitated prompt, con
certed action on tho part of tho holders
of these bonds for tho protection of their
. Interests. It was the Intention of tho
committee to act In conjunction with
holders' of other bonds and the stock
holders for the betterment of nil con
cerned, he declared, nnd lnconlcally con
cluded: "If a large, number of persons pick on
one turkey thero would soon bo no tur
key left for any one, "and If a large num
ber of bondholders get to picking on tho
International Mercantile Marine there
may not be any company left for any of
, them."
The International Mercantile Company
Is tha outgrowth of one of the late Clem
nt C. Oriscom's financial coups. It was
Incorporated In 1892 as the International
Navigation Company. On October 1 1902,
It changed Its name to the present one.

Tho "pence" advocates lived on Hope

When the pollco attempted to Investi

GOAT FEASTED ON ORANGE
BLOSSOMS VALUED AT $20
Animal's Taste for Delicacies Led
Owner to Distant Courtroom.
A goat, nccused of eating $20 worth of
orange blossoms, held pending the pay
ment of damages, wns the subject of a
heated argument beforo Mnglstrale Pen
nock In the Gcrmnntown police station
this morning. As a result John Green,
Slth street nnd Lyons avenue, who Is
keeping the goat in captivity, was held
under J200 ball for further hearing.
Tho goat is still In Green's bnrn and
has nothing to eat but hay. According to
the owner, Nathan Rovoner, 83d street
and Lyons avenue, "Billy" will not live
long on this diet, for he Is accustomed lo
eating the very choicest delicacies from
the family table. Rovencr also says It
almost breaks his heart to pass the stable
and hear the woe-begone bfeatlng of the
pet.
"Billy" wns captured on Sunday. Ac
cording to the testimony of Rose Rovener,
nged 12, and her brother John, aged 8,
Green deliberately untied the goat and
led him to the stable. According to Green
the goat came Into his yard to seek or
ange blossoms, which seem to be tho ani
mal's favorite delicacy. Since the goat
had already enjoyed blossoms valued at
f20, Green says he decided to hold "Billy"
until the meals were paid for.
One feature of the case which puzzled
Magistrate Pennock was why Rovener
should come all the way to Germantown
to swear out a warrant for Green's ar
rest when both men Implicated In the
affair live In the neighborhood of Darby.
No explanation for this was offered by
the owner of the goat.

TOM SWAN IS STILL
KENSINGTON'S BEST
DRESSER, THO' IDLE
At 84, He Mopes Because
Work Is, S.c a r c e , But
Has Not Yet Pawned His
Plug Hat.
The stress of hard times has bit big
Tom Swnn, the best-dressed man of Ken
sington. Ho has not pawned his P ug
hat. or anything like that, but, being
without n Job. makes Tom nervous.
He started to work when he wns good
deal or a "kid." He kopt steadily nt it
even during the Civil War, and he Is now
SI yenrs old. As n veteran of toll Tom
ahnltlil wpnr medfllfl.
Also as a faithful worker In the ship
yards Tom deserves credit, but he gains
Mb notoriety, popularity or whatever ono
wishes to call It, through his dress.
When the whistle blow nt 7 o'clock nt
Neaflo &. Levy's shipyard, Tom for
ninny years strolled through Ihe gate,
stood his walking Btlck In a corner and
"punched" tho tlmo clock.
Ho shed his glorious raiment for over
alls nnd went to work. When the same
whistle sounded tho end of tho day Tom
shed grcase-bcgrlmed clothes and donned
his frock coat nnd tho rest of the glori
ous rnlment. He was llko a butterfly
freed from tho chrysalis.
OUT OF WORK, IIR MOPES.
When the shipyard closed up several
.vears ago, Tom, despite his years, easily
fcuiid employment. Ho wns ono of thoso
fellows that keep their faces shaved, nnd,
nllhough It inado some persons wonder
to see his dress, employers thought that.
If Tom wan ns careful of his work as ho
was of his attire, ho wns winner. He
vorked whllo thosu who smiled wondered
at his luck.
The war in Europe caused tho closing
down of the shop where Tom was last
employed. Now ho mopes nbout his
home, 1213 Marlborough street, and It is
said that he docs nol even shave until
after brcakfnst.
East Glrard nvenuo Is the parade ground
of Tom Swnn. He Is out every evening.
but Sunday afternoon in tho occasion
when no dons nil his nnery. lie iooks and
nets like a gentleman off his plantation
spending a few days in Baltimore In tho
days, before tho war.
Tom knows good clothes when he buys
them nnd his six feet or more show them
off to good effect.
TAKES HAND IN POLITICS.
It Is a wonder to Tom why American
girls marry puny foreigners of title. He
says that the American man may bo a
little "sloppy" In dress, but ha certainly
Is "thero" when It comes to stature or
the way he can handle his lists but far
bo It from Tom to Justify any one who
uses his fists.
Once In a while Tob mixes Into politics.
Ho docs It by suggesting to n friend or
two" how he will vote himself, nnd with
many pardons asks the friend If ho could
possibly vote the same way Just to please
him, Mr. Tom Swan.
Ho was once nsked to bo the Democratic
candidate for the Legislature from the
18th Ward. In thoso days a Democrat
had a chance to be elected In the ward
once In a while. Tom smiled, said he was
a gentleman of the old school, and would
refuse tho position unless It was forced
upon him. There wns no thrusting of the
honor. While Tom paraded Glrard avenue
with his walking stick n thick-necked
gentleman with a mill record and a soft
collared shirt talked from the rear end
of a wagon. Ho talked with such effect
that he went to Harrlsburg and no longer
works.
One of Tom's objections to being a mem
bur of the Legislature was that he was
not willing to sacrifice a pay envelope of
tM.50 a week. Tom's friends looked at
him and murmured "Deluded man."
COURT SCORES POLICEMAN
FOR NOT HAVING EVIDENCE
Judge Barratt Summons Lieutenant
When Stolen Whisky Is Not
.Produced.
"The police 'seem absolutely Inefficient
when it .comes to bringing in evidence
collected," said Judge .Rarratt, In Quar
ter Sessions Court today, when Police
man Smith, of the Front and Master
sireeis siaiion, railed to produce a bot
tle of whiskey which Matthew Raabe had
pleaded guilty to stealing.
"If this man had pleaded not guilty
he probably would have been acquitted be
cause the evidence was not here. Let a
subpoena be Issued for Lieutenant Knoll
and perhaps he can explain why this evi
dence is not in court."
A subpoena was also Issued for Clerk
Gilbert, of the Department of Putillc
Safety, whd always requires a receipt or
evidence brought to court.

Army's unexpected victory Inst year and
Its better record this nil. together with
tho fart that Hie Army retains more 1913
veterans than does the Navy.
This, of course. Is logical reasoning. )
football gnmes don't always turn out khls

stronger favorite last year than the Army
Is this year. Yet tho Armv won In idn
