MOUNT HOLLY CUY
WORKS SHUT DOWN
Disagreement Between Owners of
Towns' Two Industries Causes
Suspension of Business
Special to The Telegraph
Carlisle, Pa., May 13.—As the result
of orders issued by S. M. Kitzmiller,
of Shippensburg, who recently pur
chased the property of the Mount
Holly Paper Company at Mount Holly
Springs, consisting of two paper mills,
the land on which Hilly Park is situ
ated, and several hundred acres of
woodland, the Cumberland Clay
Works, the only Industry of any Im
portance at present operating in the
town was closed to-day. Forty men
are out of work and business in the
town is at a practical standstill.
The closing of the plant of the Clay
Company which mines a superior
j quality of white clay used in the niak
jing of tiles and bricks, came as the
result of a disagreement between Mr.
Kitzmiller and W. S. Russell of the
Cumberland works. There is a spur
track on the Gettysburg and Harris
burg Railroad which runs from Holly
through the gap to the property of the
clay company. At one point It crosses
a spur of land belonging formerly to
the Mt. Holly Paper Company, now
the property of Mr. Kitzmiller. It is
claimed by Mr. Russel that he has
ordered the railroad to send no more
ears to the clay banks and that he In
tends to tear up the track.
The reason given is that the water
from the banks, carrying with It
some white clay, is draining Into the
pleasure dam at Molly Park. This Mr.
Russel claims was due some months
ago to the frosts and was later
remedied. On Friday there was a
|cloudburst in that section and a small
dam used to hold water for milling
purposes was torn away. The banks
|are accordingly draining into Holly
I lake. It is claimed, however, that
Kitzmiller did not give an opportunity
to repair the dam before issuing his
I order.
The company lias been using the
track In question for about five years
and pays a small sum annual as
ground rent. This, it is claimed, was
paid until May and a check has been
dispatched for the next three months.
The haul to Mount Holly which is
about two miles is claimed by Mr.
Russel to be almost Impossible and the
plant has accordingly suspended op
erations. About forty men, all of them
residents of Holly and doing business
in that town are without any source
of income.
•Since the property of the Mount
| Holly Paper Company was purchased
by the Shlppensburg man there has
been considerable trouble between him
and the residents. Some mon'hs ago
the proposition was made that if the
property be exonerated from taxes the
paper mill would be reopened. The
property Is assessed at about 160,000
and if taxes were taken off would
raise the tax on the other property
several mills. The borough council
refused, claiming that it was not Just
to the citizens of the town and further
more that they were not able to grant
the exoneration. The mills were not
opened and In consequence there Is lit
tle work in the town.

Passing Impressions of Finance
By H. L. Bennet
Editor of The Financial World
Businessmen everywhere are down
In the mouth. They talk glumly about
poor orderw and a disinclination on the
part of customers to buy goods beyond
their barest necessities. Trade condi
tions. It is true, are far from normal,
but no fundamental weakness that can
be seen, is responsible for them. Hank
deposits have seldom been as large as
are now reported. Of idle capital we
have indeed a surfeit. When money is
so easy and there is so great a quantity
of it stacked up In our bank vaults, it
is impossible to have any crisis such as
marks the coming of a panic. Nor can
this capital remain long unemployed,
for Its owners will wish to make it earn
a profit. What grips the country just
now is "General Apathy,' who is in full
command of sentiment. His worthy
lieutenant, "Uncertainty," has made
corporations and merchants hold back
until the skies are less clouded.
Prosperity goes hand in hand with
the new wealth a country produces.
What is our outlook in this connec
tion? On Bounteous Mother Earth
and Nature we must largely depend
for our new wealth, and consequently
prosperity. She has not failed us thus
far this year. Crop reports are of the
most brilliant character. We have had
plenty of moisture all over the country,
and we need now only apprehend
drought or such destruction as can
arise from the attacks of insect life.
Where there has been plenty of moist
ure such dangers are minimized. Al
ready we know that we shall probably
have the largest winter wheat harvest
we have ever raised. This crop re
duced to a cash basis, means a rich
store of available capital this summer
and Fall with which to do business.
After all the ominous rumors afloat
about the condition of the Rock
Island, the report of Expert McKenna,
who was employed by the bondholders'
protective committee to investigate
into the financial requirements of the
road, shows the rumors to have been
Mellen Will Testify
Tomorrow; Inquiry Will
Continue, Says Folk
Hx Associated Press
Washington, May 13.—Charles 8.
Mellen, former president of the New
York, New Haven and Hartford Rail
road, will testify to-morrow before the
Interstate Commerce Commission in
its Inquiry into the New Haven's af
fairs, notwithstanding earlier indica
tions that the inquiry might be end
ed lest immunity be given witnesses.
After adjournment of the hearing
early in the day until next Monday,
Mr. Folk, chief counsel for the com
mission, and Interstate Commerce
Commissioner McChord went to the
Attorney General's office, where Sena
tor Kern of Indiana, and Senator Nor
ris, of Nebraska, had preceded them.
Within a few minutes Mr. McChord
and Mr. Folk left the conference show
ing evidences of excitement. Asked
why he had left, Counsel Folk re
plied :
"The conduct of Mr. Mcßeynolds
w:.s such that we did not care to re
main."
Mr. Mcßeynolds read a letter sent
to the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion yesterday in which he suggested
that the commission consider care
fully the effect of the examination of
Mr. Mellon and others on any crim
inal prosecution which the government
might desire hereafter to institute.
After the conference. Senator Norris,
author of the resolution which insti
tuted the New Haven inquiry, went to
Mr. Folk's office. At the conclusion
of this meeting Mr. Folk said:
"We are going right ahead with
this investigation and Mr. Mellen and
directors of the New Haven will be
put on the stand. We are going to
bring out the truth—the whole truth
—no matter whom it hits or whom it
hurts."

ill-founded. The road will not need
more than $33,000,000 in the next
thre years. This Is not $65,000,000,
so first reported. But the bud reports
succeeded in their purpose in enabling
some people to pick up Rock Island
bonds cheaply, and they are now able
to see a nice profit as a result of their
better prior knowledge of the actual
condition of the property.
Investigators for the government pro
geting closer and closer to the root of
the actual financial operations which
were responsible for the New Haven's
high financing. It was disclosed by
the Interstate Commerce Commission
that a comparatively unknown Connec
ticut. coal dealer dealt in millions of
the road's securities, and he. too, found
it. advantageous to burn all books re
lating to his transactions. This wan
ton destruction of the records of such
important transactions is damning evi
dence that there are some things
which must have been concealed,
which big men on the inside wanted to
hide. It was also shown that the New
Haven under Mellen spent in one year
over $350,000 on advertising to mould
public opinion, whereas the New York
Central spent but $12,000 for advertis
ing and the Pennsylvania but $7,000.
But all this money was wasted, and for
the good it accomplished might as well
have been thrown into the sea,for New
Haven stock kept going down and
down, simply because the public could
detect the devil's horns behind all this
publicity.
Municipal bonds continue in good
demand. The large Baltimore issue
was subscribed twice over. The gen
eral market shifted back and forth
waiting on developments. It could not
be said it was over-strong, nor was it
inherently weak. Standard Oil shares
were weak on account of the continued
reduction In prices of oils. Such pub
lic utilities as reported earnings dur
ing the week made a good showing,
though the increases were slightly less
than the average they heretofore have
reported. The steel and copper trade
are in a state of lethargy.
