Statement Of Fixed Charges Of the
Washington Traction Company.
LARGE AMOUNT OF GROSS RECEIPTS
Bonds Continue Firm on the
Local Stock Exchange.
FEELING OF CONFIDENCE

There was quite a good deal of activity
in the bonds of the Washington Traction
and Electric Company today on the local
stock exchange. Some $4,000 Of the bonds
were offered and taken, the closing price
being 65A, which is slight advance over
Saturdays closing price. The failure to
meet the semi-annual interest charge which
was due on Saturday does not seem to
have disturbed the market here for these
securities
This confidence on the part of local in
vestors, who, however represent but very
small percentage of the entire number OF
bondholders. is also reflected in their views
relative to the future Of the road. 1t Is
claimed that the actual condition Of the
company gives ground for encouragement
When all the possible economies and ad-
vantages from consolidation. notably that
of having single power station in place
Of half dozen or more, secured it is
believed the financial outlook will not be
as bad as this last move would seem to in
dicate.
1t Is. Of course, still the opinion that the
plan to be proposed by the committee Will
involve some scaling down in the amount
OF the present bond issue and the issue OF
new bond bearing per cent, with pre-
ferred stock to represent the difference
between the exchange value Of the new and

known and will not be, definitely, until the
committee makes some announcement.
There are rumors Of shifting in the
principal interests in this enterprise, but
there Is not enough certainty about It all
to dignity this talk by any other name than
gossip. In the meantime the officers of the
company are attending to business as
usual. and the company each day contin-
to gather In its revenues
How much the latter are and how near
penses and fixed charge Of the company
will be shown by the following statement:
The Fixed Charges.
There are no official statements made Of
the receipts and expenditures OF this sys-
tenn Of eleven street railroads and two cleo
trio lighting companies. save those which
are found in the annual reports Of the
street railroad companies which are sent to
Congress. as required by law. But it is
found that these statements are not entire
ly clear. However, using the information
which these documents furnish, as well as
that obtained from other sources not Off
clal. and therefore somewhat approximate,
the following table has been compiled
which sets forth In detail the items going
to make up what are known as the fixed
charges. The latter added to the operating
expenses represent the entire outlay to
which such a concern is liable, except,
of course, additions to the system. 1t is
understood that some portion Of the float

sented in betterments, such as improve

An Ingenious Plan.

The plan was apparently conceived
last July. Eastern firms, among them
y. Chrystal, John Pullman, Max Hal
pert, NJ. Weintraub and the H. II.
Skirt Co., of New York, and the Star
and Crescent company, of Philadel-
phia. received orders for goods on
SO and 90 days time by the firm of
m. NJ Lipschutz g. Co." After few
days, the orders were honored, as the
credit of the firm of that name was
excellent. Bales, boxes and bundles
began coming to 81. Louis, and were
carted to an old building, at 1918
Chestnut street. This was the head
quarters of the conspirators. AS soon
as the wagons reached the place, they
were quickly unloaded, the dray bills
signed and soon after, another wag-
on would haul the stuff away. Neigh
bors, most of whom are colored peo-
pie, noticed this and commented on it.
Three men and a girl were OCCASION
ally seen about the place, but they
made efforts to k7ep out of sight as
much as possib.... These mysterious
operations were kept up from July
rs to October 10.

About this time complaint came to
the postal authorities from the firms
that there was something wrong. The
Lipschitz firm had written that they
had received none of the goods, and.
besides, had not ordered them. Chief
Inspector George A. Dice detailed In
spector John d. Sullivan to locate the
parties who claimed the goods. He
has, since October, secured the Polish
and Jewish districts in an effort to
lind the trio. He learned from team
sters finally where the bales were de-
livered, and from neighbors that the
warehousemen seemed to he Polish
Jews. Then came the task of estab-
fishing their identity. In was not sup
