Behind closed doors and carefully
guarded the Supreme Lodge of the
knights of Pythias is in special ses-
sion in Chicago to consider alleged
"injudicious handling Of the funds of
the endowment rank Of the order. /
1t is said 100000, the entire surplus
of the endowment rank, is unavailable
for use, except at great sacrifice. A
special assessment on insured mem
bers and an increase in the monthly
payment of insurance, are said to be
probable. 1t is probable that proceed
ings on criminal charges will be insti-
tuted against three former members
Of the board OF control. The total de-
felt is $225,000.

Refusing to be shaved or have his
hair cut, Robert johnson, of CORTLAND,
Va, got so Objectionable to his wife
that she decided something ought to
be done JoLnson's beard looked
like it had not been shaved for 20
years and his hair hung over his
shoulders like a womans locks Mrs.
Johnson asked some of the merchants
to suggest remedy. Finally several
merchants and statesmen decided to
play barber till Johnsou's locks were
made more to Mrs. Johnson's liking.
He was captured, and the business
men would not let him go until they
had clipped away the hair and shaved
the shaggy beard. Johnson objected
until he saw his assallants meant busi-
ness. When he went to the house no.
body knew him, and it took his wife
some time to learn who he was, but
she rejoiced when she saw what had
been done.

IN THE BANKERS, CIRCLE,
Local Investment and Speculative
News and GOssfn

The matter of greatest interest in local
business circles during the past week was
again, the affairs Of the Washington
Traction and Electric Company. The
news of the week was statement made
by President George Young, of the United
States Mortgage Company. to the effect
that while the reorganization committee
has not yet reached any final decision the
plan now under discussion and likely to
be adopted is the one heretofore men
toned in The Times providing for a seal
ing of the present bonds to 55 per cent
Of the present issue. This plan, as has
been said, will give to bondholders in ad-
ditiOn to 80 per cent in new 4 per cent
bonds, bonus in preferred per cent
stock of So per cent making in all 10 per
cent of their present holdings. 1t will be
seen that this plan provides an average
return of AZ per cent when the company
is able to pay the per cent interest on
the bonds and the per cent dividend on
the preferred stock. 1t gives the bond
holder that makes the trade 116 per cent
instead of 100 per cent. his present hold
ings This PLAN it is said, was the one
that would place the least fixed charges
on the company and at the same time
meet with the acceptance of the greatest
number of the bondholders. The under
standing is that the present revenues or
the company are more than sufficient to
pay the fixed charges The increase of
business from year to year must be de-
pended on to pay the dividend on the pre-
ferred stock This is the optimistic view
of the situation.

make the total net for the year 1901 about
Sl1.o00000. This would leave a surplus for
dividends something like 100000. or IL
per cent. Of course, no such increase IS
to be expected, however, owing to the TACT
that the present big increase really began
during the latter months of last year, and
Httle II any further increase over those
hgures is to be expected. If the present

question regarding the ability Of the com

fit. The point does not lie here entirely,
however. Only five years ago the COM
