TIA T 500 DIVIDEND
One of the Roads Officers Says He
Regards Such Action as
Improbable. 81
Present Surplus Is Good, but It
Might Be Advisable to
~. Hold It. a

No dividend is likely to be declared by
the 500 road before Jan. l, despite thai
company's large earnings, and the melon
may not be cut then. s,. ......sI Be- !.
Il don't look for a dividend just now,
said an officer of the road to-day, al
though, of course, I don't presume te
speak for the board Of directors. But
base my belief on the circumstances OF
the, case. &c. ..,. ..lr a.sf- ..& -f..t:.su.$
"The fiscal year of the company, fol
Instance, ends June 80. If a dividend We're
announced, it would doubtless be made
payable, with due regularity, on July
or Jan. 1. The directors could have held
a. special meeting and declared a dividend
| for July 1. They did not do SO. I think
they'll now wait until the close of the
year. They would naturally not now an
nounce dividend that would not be pay
able until Jan. l. T.: :-.~7 E.. 81. +" =. .
| But it Is a question whether they
| would consider it the best policy to pay
| out surplus just because they happen tt
| have it. In the first place, this Is a veal
of unusual prosperity and, though I don
look for depression for a long time t.
come, it might be considered well to no
| to declare any dividend until the road wa:
pretty sure to keep up paying dividends
| every year. No investor has to be tolt
| how Injurious is the effect of passing {
dividend. If our company distributed
profits this year and then published mex
year that it had decided to declare nj
dividends, the result would be far worse
/ for the company than the actual circum
stances would probably justify. - -.
! I'm the second place, this is new roat
and a growing road. We haven't perfected
our roadbed, structures and equipment t,
/ the same degree as old roads like thu
| Northern Pacific or the Milwaukee. Ant
| our directors may very reasonably thin
| that it will be better to expend the surplus
| in improvements and ,betterments' rathe
| than in dividends. After a dividend a roat
| is only SO much poorer. But after payin,
/ for Improvements road is all the richer
!. A few million put into betterments woul,
| probably do more to raisel permanently tn
price of 500 stock than any dividend GU
| directors could give away. . .-....:.
| eff dividend were announced it nigh
be on both the preferred and the common
stock. The shares issued are $4,000, 90
of common and s7,000,OOO Of preferred. TIL
preferred stock has the preference 70
dividends up to Z per cent for any on
year. After paying per cent on the pre-
| ferred dividends up to the same limi
can be declared on the common stock an
| thereafter each class must earn the sam
! rate of profit. -t(,5.s.. .....-- H..
The amount of the present surplus i
| $1,586, SOL. So If all the surplus was ex
pended in dividends it would pay some
! thing more than ~ per cent on both tn
! preferred and common stock"

Robber."

Willie Hubert, the son Of a dairyman re-
siding on the Dodd road five miles from
st. Paul. had narrow escape from death
by hanging yesterday. and, but for the
timely arrival of his mother, armed with a
carving knife with which to cut the rope
he would undoubtedly have died. AS it
was, he was unconscious when cut down
and medical aid was summoned to re-
vive him.
Willie in company with a number Of
boys from the neighborhood, were playing
police and robber," and he was, taking
the part Of a desperate robber. After a
long chase he was captured by the youth
full officers and was brought into court.
The judge found him guilty and sentenced
him to be hanged.
With due solemnity, the young bandit
was taken into the barn, rope fastened
about his neck and he was strung up to a
beam. AS soon as he was swung clear Of
the floor, the boys left him and one went
to the house and told Mrs. Hubert that
her son had been hung as a desperate rob-
Der. She hurried to the barn and cut
down the almost lifeless body Of her son.
