A LlYELY DEBATE

On the Proposition to Pay Beverly TuckeF's
Heirs from the Direct Tag Pund.
Special DiGpdteh TO ne Inte'liOsaeer.
CHARLESTON, W. VA, March 10.-As
predicted in the INTELIlaEScER yester-
day, the Finaace Committee this after.
noon offered as an amendment to the
Appropriation bill an item allowing the
heirs Of Hon. Beverly Tucker and ex.
Qoyernpr Wilson 10 per cent Of the
amount paid back TO the State by the
general government collected from It by
the direct tax bill Of 1861, NO money TO
be paid until the State receives its share
from the government. This will give
the $4,000, to be divided between the
Tucker heirs and Ex-Governor Wilson
according 70 Rn arrangement between
them. Mr.. Simpson moged TO amend
by substituting B for 10 per cent. Col.
White advocated the amount originally
recommended. Mr.. Tucker had spent
seven years Of his time and nearly $1,000
OF his money to secure the passage OF
the bill paying this money back to the
State. The sum asked was very loW for
such services. MIR. fuckers represen.
tatives had asked for 20 per cent, but
the Finance Committee had unRni.
mously agreed TO recommend 10 per
cent, less than had been allowed for
similar services by any other State.
Mr. THOMPSON said the money was
not to be paid 70 the State, but to be
deposited in the State Treaeury epd paid
out TO the people who had paid IL into
the general treasury under tho general
tax Law. They doubtless would willingly
heye given ffty per cent for Mr.. fuckers
services II IL had been asked OF them.
Mr.. Miller, Of jackson, thought the
amount reasonable. Mr.! fucker had
spent time and money to secure this
money ior the people, and Governor
Wilson had atao spent co4gtd0r9bte time.
No other stste had paid so little toP
such services.
After little further discussion by
Meesrs, Young and Welch, Mr.. Simpson
sald that since the matter had been ex.
planned to him he would withdraw his
amendment.
M, Pngh said he thought SIS, s,ooe was
too much 70 be paid for these services.
The Stats had had her Congressman and
Senators at a salary Of S5,000a year 10
Look after this matter and others in the
interest OF their people. BE thought
the necessity for such services reflected
upon them and he thought, II the money
was to be paid, the Legislature should
eay how much should be paid 70 Tuck
eIs heirs and how much 10 Wilson. III

Mr.. Simpson,

THE RELATIONSHIP
The Pennsylvania Companies
Bear to One Another
EXPLAINED BY MR.. ROBERTS.
The Annual Meeting of tho Stock.
holders ortho Peunsy lvania Rail-
road company--what the Cap.
ital Stock Now Consists Of.

PHIIADEtPHIA, Pa, March 10.-The
annual meeting Of the stockholders oi
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
was held today in Music Hall and was
well attended. Congressman Richard
vaux was chosen chairman Of the meet
ing. The forty.fourth annual report ol
the President and Board Of Directors,
which was published several days ago,
was presented and was turned over page
by page in order to give to whomsoever
desired information regarding any par.
ticular portion OF the report.
When the page showing profit Of the
united railways Of New Jersey was
reached, Mr.. William E. Lockwood arose
and congratulated the officers Of the
company, stating that 1t was the first
time the united railways Of New Jersey
have ever shown q net profit. In re-
gard to the Pennsylvania company, Mr..
Lockwood asked General Solicitor Scott,
III we increase the Pennsylvania COM
pany guarantee to 100000 Is that
guarantee q claim in advance OF the
claims OF the Stockholders? In other
words, would that claim have to be paid
of before the stockholders got any di7i-
dends?"
"Assuming," said Mr.. Scott, "the
statement OF Mr.. Lockwood To be true,
that the Pennsylvania Railroad made
any such guarantee, the principle Is al
ways universal that the debts OF cor.
poration have always TO be paid first be-
fore the stockholders get anything out Of
the profits"
"For the information Of the stock.
holders" said President George B.
Roberts, II will explain the relation be-
tween the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pady and the Pennsylvania Company.
The Pennsylvania railroad has not guar.
anteed one penny Of the securities Of
that reorganized company. There is no
connected with 1t except the
privilege Of holding large amount Of its
securities, which we hope will
become profitable by the reorganiza.
ton of the property. The Pennsylvania
company Is really bureau, OF the Penn
Bylyania railroad organization for the
purpose Of enabling an executive de-
partment to be maintained at Pitts
burgh to take the management OF those
lines. A number OF securities OF the
different roads in the reorganizations
were transferred to the Pennsylvania
for which the Pennsylvania
Company paid to the Pennsylvania
Its entire capital stock
Of $20,000,O00. Having started with
this stock, the Pennsylvania Railroad
took hold Of the lines and i'm
proved them, until the capital now con-
lists OF this $20,O0O,000 and about $685. |
100000 Of bonds, for which they have
in these western lines very
much in advance Of their obligations.
