DIVIDEND PASSED ON PAN HANDLED SSYTEM [Continued From First Page] Three months ago the dividerid rate on the Panhandle preferred stock was reduced from 5 to 4 per cent, and on the common stock from 5 to 3 per cent, per annum in the quarterly dis tributions then made. In anticipation of to-day's action there had been a sharp decline in the price of the company's shares. The outstanding capital stock of the Pennsylvania company Is $80,000,000, all of which is owned by the Pennsyl vania Railroad. The Panhandle directors decided to hereafter consider dividends semi annually in June and December in» stead of quarterly. Statement Issued In announcing its dividend action the Panhandle board issued a state ment, saying: "The company in recent years has declared 5 per cent, dividends per annum on both classes of stock, in cluding the year 1913, when that com pany and other lines in the same ter ritory suffered severely from the dis astrous floods. "In the latter year the company failed to earn the dividends paid to the extent of $2,600,000, but the di rectors believed it a wise policv to continue the dividends at the regular rate and utilized a large part of the surplus from previous years for that purpose. "In March, 1914, however, the di rectors deemed it prudent, in view of the large decrease in gross and net earnings, to reduce the dividends, and declared a dividend of 1 per cent, on thf preferred stock and three-fourths of 1 per cent, on the common stock. Since that time conditions have not improved, there having been a con tinued and increasing decline in gross earnings, and the directors decided that the reduced earnings of the com pany did not justify the declaration of any dividend on the common stock, and declared a dividend on the pre ferred stock of one-half of 1 per cent." The Pennsylvania Railroad directors declared the usual quarterly dividend of 1 % per cent.

J., June 24.—Th® 3,600 members of the American Medl | eal Association were busy to-day at | tending the many sectional meetings arranged for an exchange of views on public health. This year's session has already taken higher ground with regard to recommendations than in any previous year. A higher standard for entrance into medical schools is one of the rec ommendations. A more general co operation of the practitioner with the layman is another. Unrelenting war on nostrums is still another. Prob ably the most radical suggestion yet made Is that the public welfare would be conserved if every man, woman and child were to be subjected to a compulsory examination as to physical fitness once in every year. The infant incubator has been more of a failure than a success. Dr. E. Chapin, of New York, reported in a paper before the section on diseases of children. Out of 150 personal experi ences with the incubator for infants, he could not report one satisfactory re sult, death resulting in the great ma jority of instances. He urged that the House of Delegates be asked to de clare against Its further use. Wants Fitted Men Dr. M. F. Ravenal, of Madison, Wiss., before the section on preventive medicine and public health, said the day had come when it was time to take the public health officers of every municipality from under politi cal and see that a man was named for such a position with a view to his fitness for it. He urged that all medical colleges institute special courses for the edu cation of public health officers. Dr. Hurty, Indianapolis, a member of the committee on poverty, said the normal person never sank to the level of poverty. In the main poverty was caused by sins un'mentionable in a public gathering and the eradication of sin and disease would remove pov erty. Tuberculosis played its part, but feeblemindedness was one of the prin cipal factors.

When the Cumberland Valley rail road prepared to engage in the pro ject of doubletracking the line which runs along Mulberry street, and of a subway excavation at Second and Mul berry streets, it bought up a consid erable area of surrounding property In order to avoid any claims for com pensatory damages that might arise. Among the properties so purchased was the building formerly occupied by the shoe firm. This is the structure yesterday acquired by the Keystone company. While the building level has been cuf" down seventeen feet this lowered front will not Inconvenience the Keystone company, doing a whole sale business. Later on the entire first floor may be lowered to conform to the new grade, hut for the present the Key stone company will concern itself with a few needed alterations to the Inter ior, which will prove a great deal more commodious place for their business. It is understood that the sale price was in the neighborhood of $30,000, and that the Cumberland Valley company in consideration of the Keystone company taking this building off its hands has purchased the building at Second and Mulberry streets now occupied by the Keystone company at a price in the neighbor hood of $12,000.
