Passing Impressions of Finance j
{ By Louis Guenther :
| Editor of the Financial World I
I 4
Confidence received a solar plexis
blow &s the result of the unexpected
charge brought against the St. Paul
Railway by Commissioner Harlan, ot
the Interstate Commerce Commission,
of serious Irregularities In accounting
of its earnings. The essence of tho
charge is that the road padded the
earnings of its Puget Sound extension
so it could obtain a better price for its
bonds and when this was accomplished
the road reversed its position by con
cealing a part of its profits for the
purpose of influencing an increase in
freight rates.
In other words, if Comiul&ioner
Harlan can substantiate his serious
allegations, the St. Paul tried to catch
the Investing public going and the
Interstate Commerce Commission com
ing. However, the last wortj about
this new development In our railroad
financing, which cannot help but have
a most unfavorable effect upon invest
ment sentiment unless a satisfactory
explanation is forthcoming, has not
been said. We shall hear more from
it, for this story of wrongdoing, if It
is proven, strikes at the very founda
tions of confidence on which billions
of dollars in railroad securities rest.
Not a single person would have ever
suspected the St. Paul management of
being capable of a resort to irregu
larities (to quote Commissioner Har
lan) similar In character to those
which were responsible for putting the
New Haven and Rock Island and the
Frisco hors de combat. Like Caesar's
wife Poppea, St. Paul was above sus
picion, and consequently its securities
were always prime favorites with in
vestors. There were some who ques
tioned the road's wisdom in extending
to the coast, but none dared ever ques
tion its honesty.
It is on this account that there is
danger that fear among the bondhold
ers and stockholders of St. Paul may
travel on the wings of wind spreading
terror and arouse a heedless desire to
sell what they have, not knowing
whether the worst is known or not.
It is the uncertainty always which
plays such havoc with Investors. There
is no damage so great as that arising
from a panic of fear. Even the state
ment Commissioner Harlan made that
the charges are no reflection upon the
road's present financial condition and
that the earnings are favorable will
not serve entirely to still the disquiet.
The manner of making this charge
has brought upon the commission a
great deal of criticism. Washington
bears are in clover. They have grown
fat on the never-ceasing attacks the
politicians have hurled at our cor
porations. The statement is made, and
it seems logical, that as long as the
commission found that the St. Paul
road's solvency was not in question,
and as long as the earnings are favor
able it could have couched its lan
guage in different and soothing phrase
ology, Instead of resorting to the sen
sational and flat declarations which
inflicted suffering and losses on per
sons who are defenseless in protecting
themselves. Those persons are the
stockholders and the bondholders who
are the principal losers in the decline
in St. Paul securities last week.
Serious friction has developed be
tween the Chicago. Rock Island and
Pacific Railroad, the operating com
pany, and the protective committee
which is acting for the collateral 4 per
cent, bondholders. President Schu
inaker sought to have the committee
publish a statement he had prepared
to show the road would need at least
$49,000,000 to completely rehabilitate
itself. The figures the committee
would not accept, claiming that the
road's last annual report indicated no
such condition existed as was reported.

WEDNESDAY EVENING
and before believing It true would llrst
have an independent audit made ol
the company's books. But the Rock
Island's president was undeterred and
he published his statement in the
newspapers as an advertisement, mucn
to the annoyance of the members ot
the protective bondholders' committee.
In some circles the suspicion Is enter
tained that the statement emanates
from the Reid-Moore faction with the
purpose of gathering in at a cheap
price the collateral bonds, as they oc
cupy the strategic position of dictating
the terms of reorganization and the
"Irish dividend" to be assessed on the
holding company's preferred and com
mon stock.
The cost of living is going down.
Tills Is indicated by the index figures
published by the London Economist.
For the week they have lost some
where near 2-1 points. Still, when the
reduction is distributed among the out
lays housewives must make to keep
the larders tilled and the family happy
it Is of such an infinitesimal fraction
that they won't feel It. Living cost,
anyway, worries people very little as
long as the wherewithal upon which
to live is easily obtainable. The per
capita wealth of the country was never
so large, so it Is apparent that this
subject is no longer receiving the seri
ous consideration that our economists
think it deserves.
First it is Mexico, then Peru and
then Brazil where revolutionary upris
ings break out. Our South American
republics are once more proving the
truth of the claim that they are mer
curial countries. But Brazil's troubles
are engendered by too rapid exploita
tion of its resources and the conse
quent drain upon its credit, which, to
maintain intact, simply means in
creased taxation. Brazil's nonsensical
scheme of "valorizing" the coffee crop
by keeping it out of the market until
a satisfactory price was obtainable has
had a large share In causing the pres
ent trouble.
Municipal bonds are still very much
in demand. Standard Oil stocks have
recovered a part of their loss and these
shares are going into hands of out
right buyers instead of margin traders.
But the railroads are finding it in
creasingly difficult to borrow money
on reasonable terms, so much has
their credit suffered by criticism of the
past few years, whether justified or
not. Chesapeake and Ohio, which
had to borrow $33,000,000, had to pay
as high as 7 per cent, for the money
and agree with the bankers to set
aside liberal sums out of earnings
ever} - year for five years for improve,
ment in order to make the note issue
more secure.
To expect the stock market to have
acted otherwise than it did under the
bruises that have been inflicted upon
it would have been to anticipate the
workings of a miracle. Stocks could
not stand up under the wave of re
newed liquidation which was started
by the St. Paul and the Rock Island
revelations. For some time the mar
ket will be under a spell of doubt and
expectation of further surprising ana
unpleasant revelations.
Some of the earnings reported by
the public service corporations this
week were: Northern States Power
Company, with gross earnings of
$3.88<,408 and $1,950,934 net; Ameri
can Public Utilities Company for Jan
uary, gross $244,475. a gain of 9.3 per
cent., and net $112,249, a gain of 4.12
per cent: Indiana Lighting Company,
gross earnings of $1,228,297 against
$1,191,214 in 1912, but the net earn
ings of $407,343 -were slightly less on
account of flood losses, and the United
IJght and Railways Company, with
gross earnings of $6,057,285, an in
crease of $735,604, and net earnings
of $1,172,318, a gain of $99,311.

County Commissioners Officially
Notified of This Fact After
Drawing of Talesman
Commts s on e r
r" drawing of the
April Common Pleas talesmen when
the jury board asked that a new wheel
be provided. The County Commission
ers promised to look Into the question.
The present "wheel," from which
thousands of names have been drawn,
has been in service since ISSB. It is
made of heavy pasteboard and the
opening from which the paper slips
bearing talesmen aro drawn, is dis
colored with the broken waxen seals
of years and years.
When the wheel was first put into
service It was made for a capacity of
300 names. Since then the need for
juries and the additional number re
quired, has made it necessary to prac
tically jam the wheel with 900 names
each year. In the years to come it is
believed more will have to bo put in.
so the jury commissioners to-day asked
for a wheel with a capacity for 2,000.
The wheel is eight inches wide and has
a diameter of twenty inches; a wheel
with a twenty-eight-inch diameter and
twelve-Inch width is what the jurv
commissioners ask for.

SUFFRAGE WORKERS
SHOULD HAVE VOTE
[Continued from First Page.]
one portion of the family of man
to assume among the people of
the earth a position different from
that which they have hitherto oc
cupied, but one to which the laws
of nature and of nature's God en
title them, a decent respect to
the opinions of mankind requires
that they should declare the
causes that impel them to such a
course.
We hold these truths to be self
evident: that all men are created
equal; that they are endowed by
their Creator with certain in
alienable rights; that among these
are life, liberty, and the pursuit
of happiness; that to secure these
rights governments are instituted,
among men, deriving their just
powers front the consent of the
governed.
We belieev that this county will
fall to attain the high standards
set forth in the Declaration of In
dependence while women are held
in political servitude, and that no
government can properly perform
its function or discharge its obli
gation to its citizens while com
pelling one-half ol' Its population
to bear its burden though denying
them the right to share Its privi
leges.
\\ here the Vote Comes in
As the Woman Suffrage party of
Pennsylvania, we are organized
to secure the ballot for the women
of Pennsylvania on the same
terms upon which It is granted
to the men of the State. This
party shall ze nonpartisan in that
it shall not ally itself with any
other political party or organiza
tion which has any object other
than that of seiurlng the ballot
for the women of the State.
We seek and believe that we
shall be accorded the support of
all citizens who have faith in a
representative form of govern
ment.
We pledge ourselves to the task
of securing the political freedom
of woman, not In any spirit of
self-seeking, but with a desire to
secure that political and economic
justice for all men and women
which is only possible In a free
state, where the government rests
not upon the consent of a frac
tion of the people, however large,
but upon that of the whole peo
ple.
The conference this morning was a
joint meeting of the seventy-five party
leaders and heads of organization
working with the party.
One of the features of the morning
was the reading of letters from five of
the men who have announced them
selves as candidates for Governor and
United States Senator. Letters from
Vance C. McCormick, A. Mitchell Pal
mer, Wiliam Draper LPWIS, Glfford
Plnchot, and J. Benjamin Dlmmlck,
either endorsed the cause of suffrage
or declared In favor of the submission
of the question to the people of Penn
sylvania.
Each member of the Suffrage Party
Is to pick out twenty ment for whom
she Is to be responsible during the
campaign for votes. These selections
are to be decided upo nat precinct or
block meetings of the suffragists, and
then every effort of each woman Is to
be turned toward convincing men for
whom she Is responsible.
Each woman will be provided with a
card index system. If a man Is opposed
to suffrage he Is represented by a blue
card, white means Indifferent and vel
low means favorable to the cause. The
effort of each woman is to make her
file of cards yellow. 4

BODY OF MINER IS
RECOVERED TODAY
Rescuers Find Harry Lynch Buried
Under Tons of Rock in
Williamstown Mine
Special to The Telegraph
Williamstown, Pa., March 11.—Res
cue work In recovering the bodies of
John Welker and Harry Lynch, miners
who were killed by an explosion of gas
in the old slope of the Williamstown
colliery yesterday, continued during all
of last night. Tons of rock and coal
had fallen on top of the unfortunate
men when the explosion occurred and
the work was exceedingly difficult and
dangerous.
About 10.45 o'clock this morning the
body of Harry Lynch was recovered.
It was found under a great mass of
rock and coal and at least 100 tons
of debris had to be moved before the
body was found. It was in a badly
crushed condition. About 7 o'clock
the men found a can. la mo and tools
of the dead miners.
The entire colliery has been shut
down and all employes, except those
engaged in the rescue work, have been
sent home.
Yesterday's fatal accident occurred
while Harry Lynch and his brother
in-law, Andrew Mack, were at work In
a breast in the Primrose vein in the
old slope of the Williumstown colliery.
The props and plank which held the
"gob," or loose coal, in the breast gave
way and left the coal rush down.
Mack jumped to the side and held fast
to some timber until rescued by some
fellow-workmen, while Lynch could
not get to the side and therefore went
down with the rush of coal and be
came entombed. The breast had been
worked up something over 300 feet
and would have been finished in a few
more days.
After the officials learned of the ac
cident they started rescue forces to get
Lynch out and also sent John Welker,
who was one of the rescue men.
along the air trunk to close the trap
doors or outlets and force all the air
possible into the breast where Lynch
was entombed, so that if he should be
alive he would not smother. While
doing this work Welker walked Into a
body of gas, which was no doubt
pushed out by the rush of coal, and
an explosion followed which killed
him. His body was found shortly
after the explosion by his fellow
rescuers. He was burned and a hole
cut in his forehead, which Indicated
that something hit hiin in the explo
sion which caused his death.
Mr. Weliker had a farm a few miles
east of Gratz and was expecting to
stop working in the mines at the end
of this month and go to farming. He
was married and was about 34 years
old. He is survived by his wifo and
six small children.
Mine Superintendent Auman and the
bosses, with a big force of rescue men,
worked continuously to find Lynch.
Harry Lynch ' was a single man,
about 27 years old. He was a son of
William Lynch, of town.
The town feels shocked at this acci
dent, coming only three weeks after
Charles Raudenbush and John Crozier
lost their lives by an explosion of gas,
and only a short time previous to that
Mr. Etzwiler lost his lil'e by a fall of
rock, this making five fatal accidents
and at least fifteen nonfatal injuries
|in this year. Several of the men in
-1 jured are still at the hospital.

Work of New Company
At the Steelton offices of the Penn
sylvania Steel Company this morning'
it was stated that the new company
will not engage in any manufacturing
business. The principal object of the
new company, it was said, will be to
engage in actual construction work.
Instead of letting a contract for con
struction work to the Pennsylvania
Steel Company, as formerly, all con
tracts will be let to the new com
pany. The incorporation of this new
company is a step in the new policy of
the Pennsylvania Steel Company to'
widen its field of operations and to
indulge in more construction work.
The new company, it was stated at the
Steelton offices this morning, will en
ter the field of construction on a large
scale. An effort will be made to secure
more contracts for erecting large
buildings, bridges, etc.
Mot to liuild Memphis Bridge
The new company will market the
entire output of the bridge and con
struction department of the Steelton
plant. It is believed that the new firm
will also market the output of the new
rolling mills and structural steel man
ufacturing departments that are ru
mored will be added to the. Steelton
