Plan of the santa Fe Directors

Plan of the santa Fe Directors.
BosroN, October 16.-Theplan of reorgan-
ization which was adopted by the Atchison,
Topeka q Santa Fe directors, at their meet
ing last week, is made public in an official
circular issued to the stock and bondholders
of the company.
It is proposed to issue one hundred year 4
per cent. general mortgage bonds for $780,
100000 to be secured by mortgage cover
ing all the property of the company, includ-
ing all the securities representing the con-
troll of the ownership in the necessary con-
struction companies and all equipment now
subject to car trust liens. Ali the security
of the old bonds will be preserved, so that
the bonds will ave the protection of all ex-
listing liens with the additional security of
the completion and betterment of the new
properties from capital proposed tc be
raised. The taxes and interests added upon
that portion of the new four per cent. bonds
which it is proposed 10 issue at once to make
less than s., so, OC0, which sum in the derec-
tors opinion, represents the earning power
of the system this year.
There is also des;g ned to be issued 100
year income bonds for $50 ,O0) Coo bearing
interest at the rate of not exceeding per
cent. per annum non-accumulative, but
paying only from, and to the extent OF such
earnings as may be found after the the
fixed charges have been met within the limit
of the Fer cent.
The income bond is designed to provide
for such reductions of interest upon present
bonds as it is found necessary to make in
order to bring the fixed charges of the COM
pany within its earning power. Subscrp-
tions are invited at once for $125, co., 900 of
the new general mortgage per cent bonds,
subscribers OF $500 in cash being entitled to
receive block consisting of 81 600 new
general and 500 in new income 8 per cent.
bonds. All cash payment are to be made
to Kidder, Peabody & Co., of Boston and
New York, who shall hold such monies in
trust, and not to be paid over to the railroad
company until it is officially announced
that the plan of reorganization has been
accepted and q sufficient amount OF securi-
ties deposited to make the reorganization
effe tive.
Provisions for the exchange of per cent.
securities for bonds of the new issues is
given in detail. Deposits are to be made
either with the Union Trust company. OF
New York; j. w. Reinhart, fourth auditor,
of Boston, or Barring Bros, London.
The directors state that all interests have
been carefully considered. and they believe
the above plan will prove equitable to all
concerned. They appeal to all classes OF
security holders to come forward at this
crisis and protect their property from the
disaster of disintegration and bankruptcy,
and state in the strongest terms that the
non-success of this proposal will result in
foreclosure with all its attending misfor-
tunes.

SAFE ELECTRIC WIRES.

MIR. Edison Says the Only Remedy
Is Restriction Of Tension.
NEW YORK, October 16.-Mr. Edison has
been interviewed regarding the possibility
of making electric wires safe. The dread
full death of lineman Friday amid a net
work of wires in the presence of 20, coo spec
tators makes the matter one of pressing in
terest.
''You read of the accident to the lineman
Friday!" Mr.. Edison was asked.
Eyes. It was peculiarly horrible, but the
subway will not solve the problem. There
is no insulation which will make an electric
wire safe. When under ground the high
tension wires will burn out the fibres, the
dangerous current will creep into your
houses and come up the manholes. There
il one way. and one only in nay opinion.
That Is to regulate the tension under SINH
lar police regulations to those governing the
pressure on steam boilers. For example.
one single shock of 500 volt pressure would
hardly affect a man closing the current be-
tween two dangerous wires. You can in
crease the + nsion to 500 volts with accom-
modating blocks of five volts between. and
while such q pressure might injure, it would
not kill It would probably give simply a
there is no insulation In the world which
will remove the danger.
1.-THE greatest caution cannot PREVENT a
hum IN being from occasional closing the
current. A porter sweep g out some Office
can form q connect ng link that leave. him
dead and, as say. the subway will only be

accidents, perhaps less occasional. The
only solution is to restrain the tension of
the current, as have said, exactly a. boil

''Do you SUPP ose that the man killed Fri
day felt any pain:" asked the reporter.
