sey with coneidernblo local capital In
vested. It was looked upon ns a finan
cial coup of Clement C. Orlscom. .1. P
Morgan reorganized the company under
the present natue In 1902. It contiols the
American, White Star. Red Star, Atlantic
Transport, Lclaud nnd Nitlonal Steam
ship lines. They have I" distinct lines
of service.
Tho strength of the North German
Lloyd and Hamburg-American Lines
gave them the domination of tho vari
ous steamship pools which greatly Inter
fered with the earnings of the Interna
tional Mercantile Marine Company Their
service has been further curtailed by the
war. Great Britain has commandeered
BOmc of the best and biggest ships. Prop
erty Is owned by the company In mot of
the large ports of the world One hun
dred and thirtj-elght vessels are on tied
by the company. Their tonnag Is l.SJo,
236. TJie preferred stock of the company,
131,730.071 outstanding, was expected to
earn 6 per cent dividends from the start,
and $49,331, i35 In common stock was de
clared also The company never declared
a dividend upon Its preferred stock, which
Js now quoted at nbout SI bid S3 asked,
par $100. The common stook It $1 bid $1.75
asked for $100 shares.
WON'T INTURI'ntlE WITH SEItVlCn.
Tbo company made $5,716,000 net profits,
however, In 1913, upon a gros business
or $19,641,338.
A repiesentatlvo of the International
Mercantile Marine Oompanv, whoso of
llccs are In the Bourse Building, said to
day: "It is true that the company neer de
clared a dividend upon Its preferred
stock. As for the profits, I can't discuss
that feature. The New York olllco Is
thu place to question as to what became
of the profits "
Payments due from the British Govern
ment for the use of vessels aro slon of
leallzatlon. The company llnds Itself
short of cash to pay the $2,300,000 that
will be oveidue on tho bonds next week.

DELAWARE METHODISTS'
CONFERENCE TO MEET
Few Chnnges in Ministerial Charges
Are Expected.
WILMINGTON. Del. March 22.-Mo6t
of the local members of the Wilmington
Methodist Episcopal Conference will leave
this city tonight for Laurel, whore the
annual sessions of the conference will
open Wednesday morning. The usual
missionary sermon, preceding the gen
eral mcetlngfi, will be delivered tomorrow
night.
A continuous thirst greatly annoys Sam
uel Fraley, of Beach and Poplar Btreets,
the police say. He was arrested today
coming out of Btraub & Miller's brewery,
at Trenton and Boston avenues, with a
spigot In his hand. He also had numer
ous other spigots In his pockets. It was
appropriate that Fraley should be ar
rested by Policeman Herring. He said
that Fraley had other material belonging
to the brewery with him when he was
captured. In fact. Fraley was very wab
bly In speech and legs.
Fraley didn't seem to know how he got
Into tho brewery and wasn't quite clear
as to how he got out. He also seemed to
forget that he recently finished an 18
months' Jail term, the police say, but sev
eral cops at the Trenton avenue and Dau
phin streets station didn't.
When Magistrate Wecleary asked Fra
ley how he got the spigots he was under
the impression that he "fell against
them" In the brewery and they dropped
Into his pockets, But the Judgo was
somewhat skeptical about such a deduc
tion, and In view of Fraley'a general
habits held him In 'JX ball for court.
This sobered the prisoner somewhat, and
brought back a llood of unpleasant mem
ories. The back yards of Tony Bucknopeck
and Charlie Zerllck adjoin each other In
Frankford. This brings the pigeons of
Zerllck very close to the yard of Buckno
peck. The former claims that the latter
took advantage of this fact; also that
Bucknopeck set a trap and caught several
of the pigeons when they wero off guard.
But Bucknopeck contended that the

SOCIAL SERVICE WORK
'DUTY OF THE CHURCH'
Rev. John Watchhorn Im
presses Its Importance in Ad
dress Before Conference.
rnoM a sTirr conitrirovnrNT.
NOnillSTOW.V. I'n., March 22. "It Is
ns much a duty of the Methodist Church
to solve tho problomi of nodal service
as to preach the gospel," declared tho
Itev. John Watchorn, of Fritnlrford, In
an nddress to the MO members of the
Philadelphia Confcrencn nt the opening
session today. The spirit of the meeting
took Its keynote from Mr. Wntchorn's
address and from n report which showed
that social service work Is one of tho
rapidly growing branches of the confer
ence activities.
"Some men place all stress In con
verting men as units nnd then turn
them loose without proper organization,"
said Mr. Watchorn. The church must
not only save tho unit; It must organise
tho several units to benefit the commu
nity. It Is an unfair criticism to say
that In cleaning up the slums wo nre
substituting soap and water for the pro
gram of Jesus
"Tho church is not reaching tho work
ing clnsses," lie continued "A group
which cheers the name of Jesus will Jeer
the name of the church. The working
classes must be made to renllzo that the
church is dealing with practical affairs
which nre -ltal In their dallv life."
Tho report of the Conference Social
Service Commlslon, of which Herbert N.
Shonton, of Columbia Unlversltv, is field
secretary, was read by Mr. Watchhorn
Classes for Immigrants, for the study of
Immigration, presentation of social Ideals
of Christianity to Socialists and other
groups, nnd "almost numberless activities
In the Interest of relieving indecent, dan
gerous and vlclout living conditions," nro
noted In the report ns phases of the work
the commission Is carrying on.
Classes In domestic science nrc taught
by pastors' wives, tho report continues.
Free music lessons are being given Tho
unemployment problem receives attention
In churches where It Is acute. Indecent
theatrical exhibitions wero stopped and
film shows suppressed the last year.
The First Church, Germamoun, wns
commended as conducting a "icmarkable
and unique social serlce program with
distinguished nnd uninterrupted success "
Tralso was given to tho Deaconess' Home,
611 Vino street, Philadelphia, for Its work
In social service work.
Under tho commission's direction, chil
dren's day haB been used as an oppor
tunity to preach sermons on social prob
lems nnd child welfare. One hundred
such Bcrmons were preached In the con
ference Prior to election dnv in Notem
oer sermons on civil responslblllt wer
preached. Groups of factory workers
marched to special church services ar
ranged for them and services were held
lit shops and mills.
"If It weren't for the working man, the
Methodist Episcopal Church would be out
of existence today. Tho Methodist Epis
copal Churoh Is tho best friend of the
working man," said the Rev. C. M. Bos
well, explaining the relationship of the
church. "Nothing can be done without
working men. It will take eternity to
tell what Methodism has doiio for the
worklnc man."
Bishop W. F. McDowell announced that
he will reappoint tho Rev. S. W Gehrett,
corresponding secretary of the Home for
tho Aged, Belmont and Edgely avenues,
Philadelphia
The Conference voted to hold an after
noon session today and to adjourn to
morrow morning.
-
WOOES
birds formerly belonged to him, and as
eerted that Zerllck had them so long that
he forgot this fact. The men had nu
merous arguments, which ended In the
arrest of Bucknopeck. He claimed that
he didn't steal the pigeons and declared
that they flew Into his yard. Then he
simply let them stay there, aa he didn't
believe In being cruel to birds.
To prove that he was a peaceable man,
Bucknopeck summoned three little Polish
girls to the Frankford police station to
tell Magistrate Borle all about hla life.
But aa the girls couldn't talk English
and gesticulated excitedly, the Judge
couldn't tell whether they were commend
ing or denouncing the prisoner. Finally
he explained to Bucknopeck that his life's
history was not relevant to tho case at
hand and held him In 1300 ball.
But Bucknopeck declares that "all la
not over yet and there will be aome more
which won't add to the fame of his ac
cuser." 3-DAY TOURS

BARBED WIRE THAT
SLAYS WITH FEROCITY
Entanglements Made in Allen
town and Used to Stop Ger
man Hosts.
AI.M-.NTOWX. Pn.. March 22 -The se
ries of articles which the T3BStNO
I.cnonrt Is now printing from the pen
of Phil Hadcr. who Berved In the French
Foreign I.oglon In the nuropean war,
stnrts out with this gruesome statement:
"There's a German's body hanging
from the barbed wire entanglements In
front of the French tienchcs which t
have Just left "
Thnt barted wire was made In Allen
town, and as barbed wire goes, It Is the
most merciless product Imaginable On
a quarter-Inch square steel strand, twist
ed at intervals, tho barbs nre placed so
closely that It Is Impossible to get be
tween them with a pair of nippers, and
to cut It a strong pair of shears must bo
used, or a cold chisel. Tho batbs nro
from 2 to 2'i Inches In diameter, nnd tho
wholo tclous thing Is ns much or moro
In circumference than a man's wriHt.
The barbs nro as sharp aa a needle, and
nre so turned thnt they point In every
direction at spaces of every few Inches
They nro well calculated to stop anything
from a foot soldlpr to an nutomobllo and
work fearful havoc with cavalry horses.
To add to Its terrors. It Is often charged
with clcotrlclly. Many soldiers who
have attempted to cut It havo been elec
trocuted While the Oerman automobiles
nro equipped with special cutters thnt
look llko enormous scythes, they do not
nlways get through this wire, often be
ing overturned when thov charge It. A
single strand of this wire lias a tensile
strength of 3200 pounds.
Allentown has about 1500 wlro workers
w'no rank as the most skilful In the
world. Tho plant Is that of the Amcrlran
Steel and Wlro Companv, nnd is a suh
sldlarv of the United States Steel Cor
poration. The plant made most of tho
wire for the entanglements in the Russo
Japanese war The Inspectors tell tho
men It Is superior to tho wlro used bv
the German arrry, which Is lighter and
less formidable, and does not present nn
obstruction so refractory.
On account of the enormous diameter
of the barbs, this wire Is bulky, and a
"spool" of .10 pounds Is almost as largo
as a barrel. Tor convenience In shipping
nnd utilization on the battlefields it Is
not put up In heavy packages, tho limit
being 50 pounds, and some woigh only
40 pounds.
Tho wire Is demanded In enormous
quantities, nnd from 60 to 50 carloads nro
shipped every week. Tho orders arn
chiefly from France nnd Russia, nlthough
a good deal of It Is also used by tho
English armv In France and by tho Hns
llsh War Department for prison pens In
Kngland.
Contract Awarded for Church
Tho contract for tho erection of the
new J2o,000 St Roso Catholic Church, at
Highland and Pennsyhanl.i avenues,
North Wales, has been awarded to T.ud
