The stock market showed a rather

tant stocks. Eighteen Thousand shares

A ~ Semi-AnnuaI Dividend
Declared by the PennsyIVa-
mia Railroad Directors.
0NE-HALF PER CENT EXTRA
NOT ALLOWED YESTESDAY
1t is Customary to Consider the
Question of Extra Dividend
Only When the Accounts

Made Up.


Associated Press Dispatch by Special Wires.
Philadelphia, Pa, May 1.-The
board OF directors OF the Penpsylvania
Railroad 20. today declared a semi
annual dividend of 215 per cent The
previous dividend was 2IS per cent and
e-half Fer cent extra.
The formal announcement of the
directors on the dividend question,
given out by the secretary OF the COM
pany, was as follows: "The board Of
directors of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Co., at q meeting held this dag, de-
clared semi-annual dividend Of 21S
per cent upon the capital stock of the
company, payable on aud after May
3lst, 1901, to the stockholders regis,
tered on the books of the company, at
the close Of business ON May 4th. 1901. {"
No other business was transacted at
the meeting.
The announcement that only the
regular dividend of 90 per cent was
declared was disappointment to those
who had expected that the increase Of
the one half per cent allowed 10 stock
holders six months ago would again be
allotted today. II was explained by
an official of the oompsny that it is
customary to consider the question OF
extra dividend when the accounts for
the year are made up. The oumpany's

IVORY ReTRACTS CONFESSION.
Declares He Never Said Amos Sterling
Killed Prof white,


Killed Prof. white.
Philadelphia, Pa. May l.-Whsn bis
accomplish, Henry Ivory, was called TO
Stirling was roused from indifference
to a keen realization of the fact that he
is on trial for his life. For the first
time he paid attention to the evidence
offered by the prosecution to prove bis
completely in the murder of Roy
Wilson White on May 10Th OF last year.
The most remarkable thing about
lvoiy's testimony was that he denied
q confession attributed to him and pro-
fesred to know nothing whatever about
the crime for which he has been con-
Doomed to death.
When he was called to the witness
stand District Attorney Rothermel
began "You realize, do you, that you
have absolutely no hope on earth, and
that you arc now standing in the
shadow of the gallowsY"
4" Yes, sir" said Ivory, without a
tremor in his voice.
And that you should make peace
with your GodH" continued Mr..
Rothermel. "You understand how
utterly necessary it is that you tell the
truthY"
''l'll tall the truth 80 far as know"
replied Ivory, With a show of irritation.
"What don't know wont say nothin'
about -
well, what do you know" inquired
Mr.. Rothermel.
"Alr know is I wasn't there, and |
don't think Stirling was there either
said Ieory.
How about Perry? Was he there?n
was the next question.
II don't know. | wasn't there
answered Ivory. He also denied ever
having seen the witnesses who ideuti-
fed him and that he made and signed
the two confessions attributed TO him.
''Then you know absolutely nothing
about this MURDER" said Mr.. Rother-
mel.
"Nu, sir, nothin'," replied Ivory,
without tiinching.
Superintendent of Police Quirk said
that Ivory had voluntarily made a con-
fession that Stirling killed Professor
White, and that all three shared in the
proceeds of the robbery. a similar
confession was made to Coroner
Dugan at the inquest.
Accomplish Perry, who was recalled
yesterday, made corrections 10 his
confession to the effect that hs did not
see Stirling strike the fatal blows, and
was not aware that any crime WAS in
tended. He persisted that Stirling WAS
armed with a lorg iron bolt, and he
heard him say when Professor White
approached: Here comes a guy that
Looks as IL he had money"
