Company Disposes of Consolidated
Mortgage Securities to Kuhn, Loeb
& Co., of New York—Other Com
panies Arrange New Financing
Philadelphia, Jan. 28.—The Pennsyl
vania Railroad yesterday declared its
regular quarterly dividend of 1 1-2
per cent, on the stock, aikd- almost sim
ultaneously it was announced that the
company had sold to Kuhn,
of New' York, $49,000,000 consolidated
mortgage 4 1-2 per cent, bonds, due
August 1, 19t>0. The dividend action
and the comparatively favorable terms
on which the railroad was able to float
the bond issue created a favorable im
pression in financial circles.
Although not officially stated, it is
understood the bonds were sold at a
net price of par, thus making the-m oney
cost the railroad 4 1-2 per cent, per an
num. Seven years ago the company sold
approximately $40,000,000 4 per cent,
bonds, running for 40 years, under this
same mortgage, at 92, malting a net in
terest cost of about 4.42 per cent. It
had been expected that a larger ad
vance in interest would be necessary at
this time. The new bonds were quoted
at 105 5-S bid on the New York curb
late in the afternoon.
It was stated at the general offices of
the Pennsylvania Railroad that the
bonds which have been sold constituted
part of the new financing on which
shareholders are asked to vote at the
annual meeting in March. The proceeds
will be used in part to retire the $87,-
000,000 convertible 3 1-2 per cent,
bonds which fall due next October.
With the sale at' these bonds the <Ton
eolidated first mortgage on the main
line of the Pennsylvania Railroad is
closed for the time being, the limit be
ing $100,000,000. The mortgage is
dated July 1. 1573, anidi prior to this
loan there had been issuedi under it
$55,500,000 bonds, but through sink
ing funds this amount had been re
duced to $51,000,000, making $49,-
000.000 available to be issued. The
mortgage is a perpetual one, so that,
when bonds mature new ones may be
issued under it up to the limit of SIOO,-
000,000. There are now outstanding
unlier it approximately $5,000,000 5s
due in 1919, $2,554,000 4s due 1943,
$4,491,000 3 l-2s due 1945, $39.-
400,000 4s due 1948 and the new $49,-
000.000 4 l-2s due 1960.
New financing was also announced
by the Erie railroad and the Xew York
State Railways. The former road ap
plied to the Public Service Commission
Xew York for authority to increase
to 6 per cent, the rate of interest on
two issues of bonds which cover essen
tial portions of its main freight lines
to Chicago. These bonds are $7,400,000
F.iie and Jersey first mortgage 4s an t
$6,000,000 Cicnesee Railroad first mort
gage. Both issues are owned by the
Erie Railroad, and by their sale it is ■
planned to pay off $6,000,000 notes'
maturing March 1, $2,500,000 duel
April 1 and $4,550,000 due October 1.
There are $7,500,000 additional notes
due April 1, which it is expected will!
be extended two years. If the plans '■
are carried out, they will clean up the i
floating debt and funded loans coming
due for two years.
The Xew York State Railways Com
pany, it was announced, sold to J. P.
Morgan & Co., *2.923,000 first con
solidated 4 1-2 per cent, bonds, being
part of an authorized $50,000,000 is
sue, of which $15,671,000 will now be
outstanding.
Negotiations are proceeding regard i
ing a large bond issue by the Xeu- j
York Central. Bankers well informed j
regarding Xew York Central affairs said j
that no announcement might be made t
for 10 days or two weeks, but it is un
derstood that the issue will take the
shaje of an issue of 6 per cent, deben
tures. to be made convertible into 6 i
per cent, preferred stock, and to be of- j
I'ered to the stockholders at par to the
extent of 50 per cent, of their hold

POLITICS IX BANK COLLAPSE
Greene County Institution Said to Have
Figured in Postofflc© Fight
Waynesboro, Jan. 28. —The Farmers'
aiul Merchants' National bank of
Mount Morris has closed its doors in
definitely by order of the board of di
rectors. The bank's capital is $25,000
and its deposits total $350,000.
The failure is said to 'be due to a
political light and not to the collapse
of the Uniontown institution controlled
by .f. V. Thompson. The fight grew out
of examinations for the postmaster
ship.
Miss Mary Arrison, a school teacher,
took the examination and obtained the
highest percentage. She resigned her
position as school teacher aoil made ar
rangements to take charge of the post
ofliee, when it was ascertained that her
papers had been declared void and she
was told to take a re-examination. She
did so, but was beaten for the place.
The residents of the village took
sides and factions formed. The bank
officials, it is said, were favorable to
Mrs. Morris Hatfield, the successful
candidate, while many of the residents
took the side of Misss Arrison. About
four months ago many of the deposit
ors began drawing their money out of
the bank.

MISSION MASS MEETINGS
Melvin Trotter, of National Fame, Will
Appear in Chestnut Street
Hall February 2
Hundreds of men and women are ex
pected to be in attendance at the big
mass meetings to be held in the Chest
nut street hall on Tuesday. February
MELVIN TROTTER
2, to hear Melvin Trotter, the greatest
mission worker of the United States.
Mr. Trotter has organized a chain of
forty-nine missions and will form the
actual organization of the City Rescue
Mission, which is now in existence at
3 North Fifth street. The mission was
organized recently for the purpose of
lifting from the dregs the "down-and
outers'' and making them respectable
again. A distinct feature of the new
mission is that it is the only place in
this city where the gospel is preached
every night.
Grillith Jones, the superintendent at
the mission, has the doors open for any
body and meetings are held there night
ly at 7.4 5 o'clock. All denominations
and various religious organizations,
men's and women's Bible classes, C. E.
Societies, Sunday school workers and
others are urged to arrange dates for
meetings several weeks in advance.
A letter from Billy Sunday reads as
follows:
" Philadelphia. Jan. 5. 1915 —In re
ply to your letter regarding Mel Trot
ter, he's the greatest mission worker
in the country and is taking more
'Down and Outs' and those who have
been overcome thro' habits of drink
and its affiliated evils than any rescue
mission worker to-day. I can recommend
him most highly, he's a whirlwind and
any one who misses hearing hini will
miss a real treat."
From Henry W. Stough. D. D., the
following letter was received:
"Altoona, Pa., Jan. 6. 1915.—1t
gives me great pleasure to write .vou a
line coneerniug my good friend, Meiviu
E. Trottter. He is not only one ot' the
most remarkable trophies of God's
£raee that is living to-day but one of
the most unique personalities now in
christian work. No man can thrill an
audience more tenderly than he. To
hear his life story is to have a lasting
impression made upon one's life. Toll
the people by ail means to hear Mr.
Trotter.''
Charles L. Houston writes as fol
lows:
" Coatesville. Pa., Jan. 14, 191."). —
I have yours of the 7th inst., and am
glad that you have secured the services
of Meiviu Trotter. 1 do not believe you
could have secured a more efficient
man nor one better equipped bv experi
ence to wisely guide you in the work.
Mr. Trotter's own personal testimony
is very inspiring and his methods so
businesslike that 1 feel sure they will
meet the approval of the good people
of Harrisburg.''

ADULTERATION OF OATS
Grain Shippers and Dealers Warned By '
Government That Two Common
Practices Must Cease
Washington, D. (J., Jau. 2S.—Seven
ty-five oar loads of oats iutended for •
export have recently been seized by the
federal ai-thorities because they were i
found to be adulterated within the 1
meanings of the food and drills act.Tlio
adulteration charged is the addition of
feed barley or water or both. Under
certain circumstances adulteration in
these ways may be so profitable that it
is believed to be at times a common |
practice among grain shippers. The
sjovernment, however, is determines
that the practice shall cease at once,
and field representatives of the De
partment of Agriculture have all been (
instructed to exercise the utmost viol
ence in detecting future shipments
adulterated in this way.
l<ow grade barley which is known
to the trade as "feed barley" is some
times mixed with oats when there is
sufiicient difference between the prices
of the two grains to make this profit
able. Thi9 "feed barley" is the prod
uct which remains after the best grade
of the grain has been separated and re
moved for malting purposes. It contains
material percentages of weed Beeds,
foreign grains and dust, and the ad
dition of oats of such a product is held
to be a violation of the food and drugs
act. The addition of water to oats
arises from the fact that the grain is
sold by weight. Investigations of the I
Department of Agriculture have re- |
vea'od the fact that water is sometimes .
added in the amount of from 2 to 4
per cent.
In the opinion of the government of
ficials there is no reason why either
of these practices should be tolerated, i
Grain shippers and dealers, therefore, i
are being warned that the prevalence ;
of the custom in the past will not affect
the legal proceedings against future
shipments found to be adulterated in
this way.

Woman Couldn't Believe Man Who '

New York, Jan. 28.—Mrs. Corbet |.

pleaded before Magistrate Herbert in I
the West Side court for leniency to Al- !

Mrs. Gunsberger said that when her <

to give and did give a quantity of his < .
blood to be transfused into her hus- j

remuneration.
"1 cannot believe that this man can
be guilty of 'burglary after doing such
a thing,'' said Mrs. Gunsberger.
The magistrate was impressed, but
had to hold Goschane in $7,500 bail>
for trial. Arthur Schmidt and Henry j
Gesner were each held in SIO,OOO on'
the same charge, and William l.ang
was held in $5,000.
The four lived at 127 East Eighty-,

MENACE TO NURSERY STOCK
Public Hearing on Question of Pro
hibiting Importations of Eu
ropean Pines
Washington. D. C., Jan. 28.—Be
cause of the danger to American nur
sery stock a public hearing will be held
February 2, 1915, at the Department
of Agriculture to discuas a proposed
quarantine on the importation of all
pines from Europe. During the past
year imported pines have been found
to be infested with the European pine
shoot moth. In Europe this is one of
the principal insect enemies of pines
and is especially 'destructive in nur
series, young forests, and ornamental
plantations. It kills or injures the
young twig growth and deforms the
tree to a serious extent.
In this country the insect seems to
be still confined to the European pines
in Connecticut, Illinois, Mrssa"husetts,
Now Jersey, New York, Ohio, Penn.-yl
vania, Rhode Island and West Vir
ginia. Strenuous efforts are already
being made to stamp it out an? it is be
lieved that these will be successful if
no further importations o'f infested
stock are permitted.
The w'hite pine blister rust has al
ready resulted in the exclusion of all
five-leafed pines from Europe and Asia.
The proposed quarantine will extend
this prohibition to all classes of pinei
from Europe. No restriction is pro
posed on the importation of pine eced.
The hearing will be held at 10 a. m.

TEN SHARKS ATTACK BOARD
Twenty Shots Fired Into Sea Tigers Be
fore Danger Is Ended.
Palm Beach, Fla., .lan. 28.—'Eight
or ten large sharks charged a small
boat in which John 0. Crimmins and
two negroes were fishing, five miles off
shore. Mr. Crimmins, a veteran fisher
man, had hooked a shark and his help
ers were trying to kill the big fish with
g:iffs. It was about ten feet long.
The gaffs drew blood of course and
the other sharks, which had 'been seen
following at about thirty yards dis
tance, rushed at the boat."
The negroes grabbed their rifles and
at short range pumped .No. 32 shells
into the fish. 'Mitre than twenty shots
were fired in the two minutes the
scrimmage lasted. The boat was al
most capsized with blows the fish that
reach it struck with their bodies.
The shark iMr. Crimmins had hooked
broke the line in the scramble and got
away.

SCRAPS AND A DINNER
A French Clief's Feat With Food That
Had Been Discarded
year or two :igo 1 was chef in a i
country gentleman's household in Eng-,
land. The morning after my arrival I '
looked around the kitchen garden, and
in the (lust biu that stood in the back
yaril I saw a mixture of food that
could have been turned into a first
class dinner.
In about four quarts of milk that
had turned sour were swimming stale
half loaves, drumsticks of fowls, old
ham bones, cold boiled potatoes, trim
mings of dough made for pie crusts,
cracked eggs, some old codfish and
some spoiled macaroni.
Next day 1 found a second consign
ment, very similar, about to be carried
away and thrown out. 1 stopped this!
lot, sorted it out and, with the help of
a little stock, half a dozen eggs ami
a hare that had been shot on the es- j
tate, served a seven course dinner for i
a family of ten that night, and the
master of the household called me up I
and complimented me before the whole
family on the best dinner they had had !
for a year.
Afterward his wife sent for me and
told me that, though pleased with the
dinner, she feared I hail been too ex
travagant and said that her rule was
not to allow more than 7 shillings per j
head in housekeeping. It was a severe j
shock to her to hear I had fed the i
family on the sins of the cook that j
had left the day before, the cost being !
not over ninepence per head.—From '

5 Remedy and Save 92 by g
Making It at Home
Cough medicines, as a rule contain a
large quantfty of plain syrup. A pint of
granulated sugar with % pint of warm
water, stirred for 2 minutes, gives you
as good syrup as money can buy.
Then get from your druggist 2% ounces
1 inex (50 cents worth), pour into a pint
bottle and till the bottle with stmar
syrup. This cives you, at a cost of onlv
54 cents, a full pint of really better cough
syrup than you could buy readv made tor
s2.so—a clear saving of nearly $2. Full
directions with Pincx. It keeps perfectly
and tastes good.
It takes hold of the usual cough or
chest cold at once and conquers it in 24
hours. _ Splendid for whooping cough,
bronchitis and winter coughs.
It's truly astonishing how quicklv it
loosens the drv, hoarse or tight cough
and heals and soothes the inflamed mem
branes in the case of a painful cough.
It also stops the formation of phlegm in
the throat and bronchial tubes, thus end
ing the persistent loose cough.
Pinex is a highly concentrated com
pound of genuine Norway pine extract,
combined with guaiacol, and has been
used for generations to heal inflamed
membranes of the throat and chest.
To avoid disappointment, ask votir
druggist for '2V4 ounces of Pinex," and
don t accept anything else. A guarantee
of absolute satisfaction, or monev nroinpt
!Z re /'? n «ed, goes with this preparation.
