TIRE TRUST.
AN ATTEMPT TO COMBINE FOR A
RUBBER TIRE TRUST
Which Fell Through Last Summer Is
Again Revised - English Capt.
tai Is Invited.

New York, Dec. 31.-The World this
morning says: A syndicate headed
by Charles Flint, of the United States
Rubber company, is endeavoring to
form a combine to form bicycle tire
trust in the country, and to float
large amount of stock both with
American and English capitalists.
The first attempt of this kind was
made last summer when a syndicate
was formed to float, principally an
English corporation, based on the bus
mess of Morgan and Wright, of Chi
cago, makers of double tube tires.
Mr.. Morgan, of the manufacturing
company, Samuel Hollis, of Hollis
Manufacturing Co; and Mr.. Auerbach,
went to London to see what could be
done in launching the concern with
English capital About the same time
the Morgan and Wright syndicate
was feeling the financial pulse and
syndicate was organized in which
Charles Flint, of Boston, Denison,
Cross & Co., bankers, of London, were
the leading members. They took in
hand the Tillinghast patent for sim
gle tube tire. Mr.. Eddy, of Flint,
Eddy & Co, and William Evans, the
New York lawyer, were sent as their
agents to London. The Morgan syn
dictate is capitalized for $12,0OO,OOO,
while the Flint syndicate placed its
capital at $5,0O0,0OO. Thus the two
American syndicates entered London
about the same time. The men of mon
ey in England, however, were shy of
American securities last summer, ow-
ing to the presidential canvass. 1t
then came about that the bankers and
lawyers from America got together
and endeavored to pool both syndi-
Gates and see if anything could be ac-
complished by pulling together The
British capitalists, however, refused
to be interested and the bicycle tire
trust was give up for the time being.
The Morgan-Wright syndicate dis
solved. Mr.. Flint, however, contin-
ued at work to get all the various in
terests into line for n new syndicate.
An English accountant is said to be
drawing up a report of the business
of the Morgan and Wright company
Their trade in one year, it is said,
amounted to S5,000,000.

HARD ON THE PRINT CLOTH
MILLS.

Fall River, Mas, Dec. 31.-The an
nual dividend list of the Fall River
mills shows that the year has been a
hard one for the print cloth mills, and
yet only three have passed dividend.
OF these the Chanaway and Fall River
manufactures are old mills and the
Barnaby Bingham mill has suffered
from the stagnation which prevails
in the Bingham trade. AS in 1895, the
amount of capital represented in the
list of 80 corporations is so, 1913, 900,
which is an increase of 81, 655, 900 over
last years list. The larger part of
this increase is due TO the fact that
Kerr Thread company, established in
1888, appears in the list with a CAPT
tai of 100000. The total earnings
have been $1,36S,S75, an average of
sos per cent. Last years list show
ed the total of S1,742,625, of Is per
cent.
The capital stock of the Barnard
mill has been increased as also has the
Stafford mill.

MACEO REPORTED ALIVE.

New York, Dec. 31.-A dispatch to
the Herald from Key West, Fla, says:
The startling information has reached
here by steamer that Maceo is alive.
1t was received by waiting Cubans
on the wharf with joy and is given
some credence. 1t is now stated that
when Maceo fell from his horse his
followers thought him dead, but af-
forwards found that he was still alive
but spread the report that he was
dead in order to carry his body off
safely. Under a strong guard, it is
said he was carried to Segpae hOspi-
tai, where under the skillful hands OF
Drs. Fermin, Valdez and Dominguez,
he is recovering. The acute period
it is said, has now passed, as he has
only one serious wound in the stom-
ach.
Key West, Fla. Dec. 31.-The wife
of the insurgent. Colonel Mirabel, ar
rived here ON the steamer Olivette
from Havana last night, en- route to
Tampa. She claims to have come di-
rect from the camp Of the insurgents
and had been attending on Antonio
MaceO. She declares the insurgent
leader is not dead, but that he was be-
trayed and shot by DR.. Zertucha in
the face, the bullet seriously wound
ing him. Sonora Mirabel adds that
four doctors are in constant attend
ance on MaceO and that they are now
satisfied he will recover but that it
will be some time before he is able
to again assume command of his
forces

THE MANHATTAN CASE.

New York, Dec. 31.-Arguments in
the Manhattan injunction case today
attracts great deal of attention in all
brokerage houses, although the gener-
al opinion is the court will decide not
to enjoin the payment of the dividend
although there is no question that it
has not been earned and the surplus
from which it is paid is a doubtful
asset. 1t was claimed that the price
of the stock indicated quite clearly
that insiders did not anticipate that
the temporary injunction would De

Omaha, Neb., Dec. 31.-At meet
ing of Cuban sympathizers which was
held in Washington hall to receive
the report of the, committee appoint
ed at the meeting held week previous
there were fully 500 people present
when the gathering was called to or

much enthusiasm. Senator John NJ.
Thurston was the principal speaker
of the evening and he made a short
butstirring address upon the Cuban
situation. He asserted the opinion
that action by this government might
be delayed by the president, but he
predicted that a two-thirds majority
in Both houses of congress would keep
up the fight until a law is on the
statute books without the signature
of the president.

COLLEGE ATHLETICS.
PROPOSED CHANGES IN THE Gov
EMINENT THE I. @. A. A. A. A.
The Changes Would Bring Bicycle Racing
Under the General Government
Committee Meets January 8.

New York, Dec. 31.-At the meeting
of the executive committee of the in
tercollegiate association of Amateur
Athletes of America, which will be
held in this city on January 8, num-
Der of important changes in the con-
stitution and bylaws of the organi-
cation will be discussed and probably
adopted. The following are among
the proposed changes: That violation
of the rules of the l. c. A. A. A. A. be
punished by expulsion instead of sus-
pension; that every associate college
must furnish ample evidence that an
athletic meeting has been held under
the rules of the association or be sub
feet to fine and disqualification; that
bicycle racing come under the juris-
dictiOn of the association; that the
management of the association be in
trusted to the executive committee,
all undergraduates; that competi-
tor whose regular standing ut the col
lege is requested must furnish GER
tfficate endorsed by two members of
the faculty, and by the dean of his
comittee; will also suggest that an
additional vice president be elected
and that a college graduate be select
ed to take entire charge Of the games.
The following rule touching on the
facts of the game has been added:
article 19-The referee, who should
be a non-college man, shall be select
ed by the executive committee not
later than April LIST and shall make
nominations of at least two candi-
dates for each office in managing the
games; from such nominations the ex-
ecutive committee shall before May
LIST choose the officials for the games.
The committee suggests that all en-
tries shall be made three weeks be-
| fore the day set for the games. This
is one week earlier than at present
required.

REFORM WAS ALL.

Gomez Wanted no War-His Letter
TO Campos.
New York, Dec. 31.-A special to the
World from Madrid says: The ITEM
pc publishes the alleged text of let
ter addressed by Maxine Gomez to
Marshal CampOs, at the end of Jan
uary, 1895, a few days before General
CampOs left Cuba, to which General
Campos replied that he could do moth
ing as he had resigned his command
but would communicate the letter to
his successor The letter runs thus:
"As YOU are a gentleman. and owing
to your high qualities deserve the SYM
patty of the whole country, appeal
to you. | would not do so to any 9th
er person representing the authority
of Spain on the island.
I'VE must all lament this shedding
of blood and the ruin of Cuba. For
my part l would wish to contribute
to stopping so much desolation. If
you can find some means for working
out peace have no scruples in telling
me, because | would make any Sacri-
flee to devise on my side some formu-
Ia of compromise"
Strangely enough Gen. Campos was
not allowed to carry out the home rule
reforms which might have checked
the uprising. Most OF the Spaniards
cannot help thinking now how practi-
cal and polite it would be under the
present circumstances to send the gal
liant marshal back to Cuba.
There is a widespread rumor in mil
itary circles that Gen. Weyler prob
ably will be recalled and that he will

countS-He Will DIE.
Austin, Tex, Dec. 31.-Special-
This morning about 10 o'clock, Coun-
ty Treasurer A. J. Jernigan shot him
self Just below the heart with suicidal
intent. and while still alive at noon,
he will die. The deed was committed
in his private office at the court house
and when friends rushed in he stated
10 them that the deed was caused by
shortage of his accounts. He said
that he had been hoodooed by a negro
on fake gold mine scheme near here
and loaned him $4,000, and that he
loaned several hundred more dollars
to different individuals, making the
shortage some $4,000.
The negro gold mine scheme was ex-
posed only last week and the negro

that was imminent when the books
were to be examined tomorrow at the
opening of the year and tried to kill
himself and save himself from dis
grace.
