THE RECBIvBRsHIP PERMANENT
Closing up the Business of the Southern
B. and L. Association.


The Knoxville Sentinel announces that
the court will wind up the affairs Of the
Southern Building and Loan Association
This was decided upon by the stockhold-
ers in meeting to take into considera-
ton the condition OF the company and
formulate a plan for closing up its busi-
ness.
A committee on Ways and Means was
appointed and formulated report that
will practically cover the following: That
the receiYership be made permanent in
order to permit the association to secure
from each stOckholder a consent to a
change in everything to meet the condi-
tion required by the change in the con-
strued law Of Tennessee; to secure new
contracts with borrowers; to reduce the
rate OF interest: also to make such other
changes as may be necessary to bring
the associations conduct Of business to
the basis that experience has proved to
be the wisest and safest A cut in the
salaries of the officers and directors will
be recommended from the present rate.
One Of the strange things Of the build
ing and loan association, says the Knox
vile Tribune, is the fact that experience
has not borne cut anticiPaiions. 1t was
expected that stock in the Southern
would mature in eighty-four months, but
now some of the Southern stockholders
claim that it viii take 16S months TO
mature.
One of the stockholders Of the South
ern stated last night that the company
has plenty of assets but the trouble is
these hard times is to realize cash on the
securities.

that while reformers were always called
enemies Of the government, time would
show that they were right and that he
desired to encourage them in the worthy
fight against corporations.

HOUSE PROCEEDINGS.

Washington, Jan. 27.-The House to-

the conference report on the immigration
bill by a vote Of 131 to 11S. The prin-
cipal criticism of the measure agreed on
by the conferees in debate to-day was
based upon the extension Of the educa-

migrants, on the ground that it might
divide families and to the limitation Of the
ability Of an immigrant to read and write
the English language or the language
Of their native country or residence"

ELECJRICIT On PA. r.. r. CO.
Satisfactory Experiments Made IN
Branch Lines of West Jersey

Philadelphia, Dec 9.-For the past .oLr
years the Pennsylvania Railroad Com 4 ~
has beer experimenting with electricity on
several of its branch lines. The fact .hlt
electricity must eventually supersede steam
has not been lost sig.tof bytha Pennsyl.' lria
officials, and. although up to the present.
nothing definite has been done in the way
OF usiiiL electricity as d general .no.ice
ps'wer, the experiments so far have prJ ed
an unqualified success.
About thrre years ago the Pennsylvania
Company tried two electrical engines On
the Mount Holly Branch OF the West J,rsty
Division Of the road. Si1ce that tim. aiec-
tricity has been exclusively used on this
branch and has been found to answer evers
re quisite. Other experiments have been
same success. and 1t is only a question
time now when electricity will suppi1lt
tie present motive power entirely.
The report that the Pennsylvania road
will adopt electricity for long dista ice
runs is premature. They are still in the ex
perimentai stages and will not attem lt
to branch out for some ticte to come The
officials of the company know nothing nf
