The Rowland Corporations.

New Bedford. Mass, April 2S.-The
first definite information regarding the
three Rowland corporations with
ngures as the basis. is contained in a
letter which has just been received.
From this letter ii appears that the
total Indebtedness will reach probably
Sg,55O.OO0. although it may fall slightly
below this figure. The letter is as fol-
lows:
THE discovery of unexpected in
debtedneSS in these corporations was
made on Friday, the 23d.
Expert accountants are now at work
on the books. Steps have been taken
for the appointment of receivers for
the protection of all interests. An eff
fort is now being made to increase the
capital one-half-after corresponding
reductions-that Indebtedness may be
reduced to a suitable basis. In the
present state of our information the
total Indebtedness of the three corpora
lions exceeds their combined capital by
about $16S.00O. The accounts payable
not vet stated-will increase this to
100000 we think. (Signed)
MORGAN ROTCH

New York Dispatch: Russell Sage
came out with a new suit of clothes
yesterday. which was widely COM
mented upon in Wall street. Mr.. Sage's
sartorial embellishments are ever a
matter of comment and criticism on

new suit was matter of sufficient i'm
portance to divide interest with the war
scare.
Mr. Sage was exceedingly proud of
the new suit, and resented the attention
of a friend who, turning back the coat
collar. removed from the inner side a
square of linen, upon which was written
the figures, 1913, or something that
looked like that.
Clothes don't make the man." said

some time. It cannot be charged to
any ones negligence unless, perchance,
it may have been the boys lack OF

operating Strenuous efforts on the
part of DR. Smart. the attending ply
sician, were made TO save his life, but
the stroke was too great.
