The Everett-Moore Syndicate.
boston News Bureau, Jan. 4, 1902.

Boston--It is said that the Everett Moore syn
dictate had placed between $4,000 and $500
600 of notes in Boston, with the stock and
bonds of the various companies in which the
company is interested as collateral.
The entrance of the syndicate into the tele
phone field was largely responsible for its pres
ent financial difficulties. Its traction interests
are extensive and are, as whole, well paying
properties. especially those located in Cleve-
land. Toledo and Detroit.
The Everett-Moore syndicate controlled COM
panies having a capitalization of over $4,000
900. 1t controlled through the Federal Tele-
phone Company twenty or more telephone COM
panes. principally in Ohio. some of which were
on a paying basis but in order to meet the Bell
Company it was necessary for the independent
companies to largely extend plants and the at
tempt to do this resulted disastrously, case
somewhat similar to the Erie Telephone situa-
tion.
ThSBankers' syndicate will undoubtedly ar
range to extend the notes in the hope that the
traction companies will he able to pull the tele
phone properties through. but it looks now as
though the only hope for the future of the syn
dictate is a divorce from the telephone comnan-
les. This could probably be done at a sacrifice
sale to the highest bidder, probably the Central
Union Telephone Company. This would elm
mate the principal competition of the Central
Union from the field and the result of the op-
Grafton of this company would act as danger
signal to other companies entering the same
field

In the spring everybody needs and
should take spring medicine. Spring
is the time to be cured If you are sick,
and the spring finds most of us in poor
condition, blood poor, nerves relaxed,
weak, and unstrung, and the organs
clogged and sluggish in action.
DR.. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve
remedy is the best spring medicine in
the world, the best possible remedy for
you to take, the one sure spring restora-
tive which will build up your blood, in
vigorate your nerves, and give you your
old-time snap, vim, energy, strength,

quired three stitches to close.
