DENOMINATION sWINDLING..

Congressman Nezswanss Hill 10
Checix a Railroad Abuae.
A Washington despatch to the State
Gazette says:
Inc Dill recently presented in Congress by
Mr. McEwan, which has for its object the
prevention of wholesale legalized robbery
unuer the technical phrase OF "reorganiza-
lon, has created a considerable stir in
financial circles, and when it is before the
committee it will be opposed by a powerful
lobby. The bill will prevent the ~reorganiza-
ton of railroad and other companies, wlping
out the just debts of the companies, to the
enrichment OF the bondholders in such com-
panies.
l thought I knew something of the extent
OF the injury done in this country By these
reorganizaJions," said Mr.. McEwan today,
but from the vast number OF letters and
notices commencing my bill, relating the
amounts and the manne in which people
have been deprived of their own by reason
OF these reorganizations, / am forced to con-
fess that my knowledge, great as it was, was
limited. | was staggered by the enornity.
But when we reflect that these ~reorganiza-
lions have taken place in almost every part
OF the country, and always by reason OF the
presumed inability of tho railroads n
other companies to pay their debts, other
than the bonded debts, we can get some idea
of the vast number of wage earners II
business men who have been cheated. |
hope the bill | nave introduced to prevent
these swindling operations in the future will
become a law, and | believe it will, although
1t viii have a strong opposition

she was spoken to by the Braunschweig and
the six days following while in tow of the

GOVERNMENT GUTTER IN FLAMES
Serious Damage to the Ordnance,
Moored at Morris Street Pier.

The Government cutter Ordnance was
damaged to the extent of several thous-
and dollars by fire al midnight last night.
The, boat has been moored at the foot of
Morris street for the past two weeks
undergoing repairs. The work was SO
near completion that it was expected the
cutter would be ready. to sail on Satur-
day.
Shortly before midnight the night watch
man on the Red Star Steamship pier
saw smoke issuing from the hold of the
vessel. An alarm was sounded, and
fireInen responded promptly. Before the
flames were extinguished, however. the
woodwork below deck was burned away,
and the machinery practically destroyed.
The origin of the fire is a mystery. Chief
Conway is making an investigation. 1t
will probably be four or five weeks before
the vessel can be rented for service.
