1t is now stated that series SD

1t is now stated that series SD
OF the Phenix b. & l.. Assn, OF
Jasper, will pay out Dec. 81, 1902
This series has run six years and
four months. During the last Is
months from 81 800 to $4,000 is
shown not to have been loaned, for
want Of borrowers. A new series
styled IF" is being subscribed, to
begin payment the Sd Of January.
The idle" money in the treasury
has totally destroyed any benefits
to stockholders Of the libe-al prem
iums on loans received during the
first three years, and also large
sum in fines received. This dem
onstrates that before the new series
is subscribed for an amendment to
the by laws should be adopted
which will prevent any large accu-
mutation Of idle money, something
like the following:
"SEc. =. Whenever there shall
be in the treasury, uncalled for by
borrowers, sum equaling 81 900,
the cashier shall prepare slips of
paper numbered so as to include
every share holder who has not
taken out the amount Of his shares,
and the same number OF blank tick
cts, except that one shall contain
the word borrower, and when
the shareholders shall pay their
weekly dues each shall draw one i of
the numbered ballots, and the cash
Ter shall draw from the blanks
slip, until the one with borrow
err" on it is drawn, and the share
holder who gets that must borrow
to the amount of his shares or can
eel his stock. AT said drawing if
any shareholder fails to attend the
cashier shall draw for him and then
notify him."
The following calculation shows
what each share should have earned
in the six years and four months,
from Sept. 5, 1896. exclusive Of all
premiums, fines and transfers fees.

Huntington Was no Miser.

NEW YORK, March 21-The
Coils P. Huntington estate, now
being lnventoried by the states
transfer tax appraisers, acting
with the executors. will amount
to S28, 900. 90 or 500, OOO, 600. The
transfer tax will approximate
100000. This is the unofficial
estimate made by the state con-
troller's Office.
The report of the state apprais-
ers will not be filed for several
months. 1t is understood that
the delay is due in large part to
the overhauling of claims and
notes against friends of Mr..
Huntington. These amount to
an astonishingly large sum, it is
said, and are in such shape that
it is difficult for the executors to
tell how much they are really
worth, The major items in the
schedule of assets have been
known for a long time.
According to one informant
Mr.. Huntington loaned personal
friends great deal of money,
most of which is not coilectable.

SIX RAILROADS ENJOINED
Suit Filed in United States Court at
Chicago.

CHICAGO, March 21-Charges
against six railroads terminating
in Chicago of violating the inter.
state commerce and antitrust
laws, with an application for an
injunction restraining them from
continuing their illegal practices,
were filed in the United States
Circuit court yesterday. The
accused companies are:
Michigan Central, Lake Shore
and Michigan Southern, Penn
splvania (P. Ft. w. & CO., Pitts
burg, Cincinnati, Chicago & st.
Louis pennsylvania system). Ill
inois Central, and Chicago &
Northwestern.
The government appears as the
complaint. The papers filed
were prepared by William A. Day
of Washington, who was specially
retained by the Attorney Gener-
al, at the request of the inter
state commerce commission, to
assist the United States attorneys
in various districts to prosecute
the cases. The suits started here
yesterday are practically the
same as those entered few days
ago against railroads centering
in Kansas City.
Specific charges are made of
secret cutting of rates and pay
ments of rebates on shipments OF
grain, grain products, dressed
beef and packing house products.
The court is asked first to order
the defendant railroad companies
Ito make full and perfect answer
to each of the allegations set
forth in the complaint" and to
grant temporary order restrain
ing the railroads from illegal
methods pending arguments on
the motion for a perpetual IN
junction.

MINERAL WOOL TRUST
Seven Companies Are to Be Consol.
idated.

MUNCIE, Ind, March 21-At a
secret meeting, held in Yorktown
participated in by all mineral
wool manufacturers of the Unit
ed States, it was decided to com.
bine the seven companies now
operating, and have one factory
to be located in Yorktown, as an
enlargement to the Cellular Insu-
lating Company's plant.
The reason of the combine is
that it is found to be cheaper to
make mineral wool from lime
stone obtained in the big quarrles
about Yorktown than to make it
from the Stag of blast furnaces,
as now.
Two of the companies are IN
Minnesota, two IN Illinois, two in
Iowa and they will unite with the
Cellular company, of Yorktown.
1t means an increase of several
hundred people in Yorktown.

A Big Bubble Bursts.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Mar. 81
Judge McGee, IN an order filed
yesterday, dissolved the Tontine
Savings association. The char.
ter and articles of incorporation
are declared forfeited. George
P. Flannery, attorney, has been
appointed receiver and directed
to take charge of the company's
effects and convert them into
cash.
The most interesting part OF
the order is to be found IN the
memorandum in which the court
wakes very sarcastic. Accord.
ing to the memorandum, when
the present company was reor-
ganized. on May 4, 1898, there
was practically deficit OF S23,
$50 from its predecessor. 1t has
done a tremendous business since
then, but upward of go per cent.
has been outside Of the state.
Owing to the endless chain
features of the company's plan,
the liability grew each year. Up
to Dec. z, 1901 the memorandum
says, the deficit increased ir
three years and seven months
and three days from $23, 500 to
81, 292, 290.25. Should the growth
of the association continue at the
same ratio as during the last
three years, the results will be
immense. At steady increase
of 90 per cent a year, in elghteer
years there would be 10000, OOC
conuacts In force and the amount
necessary to redeem would be
only $4,000, 900, 900. In fifty
years the whole wealth of the
world since the creation of Adam
would be wholly insufficient tc
redeem the contracts which
would be in force.

SCHLEY'S CASE ENDED.
Watson's Committee Decides to SheIve
All Resolutions and Bills.

WASHINGTON, D. G. March 81.
Congressman Watson, of Indi-
ana and his associates of the sub
committee of the house naval af-
fairs committee yesterday after
noon adopted a resolution which
deals the final death blow to all
the bills and resolutions in the
interest of Admiral Schley. The
resolution was drafted by Wat
son. 1t recites that the unfortu-
nate controversy has been the
subject of four official inquiries. y
The resolutions set forth Presi-
dent Roosevelt's recommendation
in his review of the court of in
quiry that the whole subject be
dropped, and says;
''Our subcommittee, having
in view the interest Of the Amer.
ican navy and all concerned, fully
concurs in the conclusion ex-
pressed in the words of President
Roosevelt. We, therefore, recon-
mend that further consideration
of said bills and resolutions be
indefinitely postponed and that
no further action be taken.

Roosevelt Tells Cabinet That the
Generals Insubordination
Must Be Stopped.
BUT ONE HEhD~F0R hRMy
Constitution Provides That Only the Pres
dent Shall Be Commander-in-C Chief
Action Will Be Taken Soon.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March %
Lieutenant General Nelson A.
Miles and his inSubOrdination as
soldier were the subject Of Sc
riOus consideration at the cabinet
meeting yesterday. President
Roosevelt spoke plainly to his
cabinet regarding the insubordi-
nation of Miles and the necessity
for cutting short his mischief
making, not only in the army, but
in the administration. The pres
ident did not speak particularly
of Miles testimony before the
senate committee on military af-
fairs, in which he attacked the
secretary of war and the adjutart
generation that testimony was
given in executive session and
could be excused as privileged.
President Roosevelt reviewed
the whole career of Miles insub-
ordination since the beginning of
the war with Spain. and express
ed his determination to stop it..
He did not propose to act hastily
and on one provocatiou, but in due
time ne will sum up the whole sit
uatiOn and act.
The members Of the cabinet
approved the Presidents deter
mination and his judicial view of
the Miles case. Secretary Root
was the coolest member present.
He had no grievance personal TO
himself. He took but small part
in the general discussion as to
what should be done with Miles,
and confined himself to discuss
ing the military necessity for a
change in a method of admins
tration of the army.
Whatever conflict there is over
the staff-organization bill is not
between General Miles and Sec
retary Root, but between General
Miles and the president. Miles
may not have known this when
he charged the secretary and the
adjutant general with consplring
to legislate him out of Office, but
he should have known that the
bill was drawn to carry out the
recommendation of President Roos.
evelt in his message to congress.
The President made his recomen.
dation for a general staff, to take
the place of a commanding gen.
eral, after carefully studying the
military history of the country
and the military organization OF
the great war powers of Europe,
particularly that of Germany.
The president was convinced
that general staff for the adj
ministration of the army would
be more efficient than a command
ing general, for the simple reason
that there is no place in our gov
ernmentfor a commander in-chie1
other than the president. The
constitution declares that he shall
be the commander-in- chief of the
army and navy, and in time Of
war there is no possibility of an
other commander of the whole
army at the headquarters in
Washington. In the latter part
of the civil war President Lin
coin made General Halieck his
chief of staff, as this bill propos.
es to make Miles the chief o1
staff. Lieutenant General Scho.
field recommended such a change
in the military law when he was
at the head of the army, and he
practically became the chief OF
staff to the president, and in that
way prevented friction with the
secretary of war, who is the pres
ident's adiutant.
