REPORTS
Received by the
Trustees
ShowProperties to Have
Made Money.
Detailed Statement to be Made
In Two Weeks.

Cleveland, Jan. 6.-Chairman New
comb of the Committee Of bankers In
charge of the affairs of the Everett
Moore syndicate said today that 1t
would probably be two weeks before
showing the actual financial condition
of all the various properties controlled
by the syndicate. "l'he trial balance
reports for November said Mr.. New
combe, indicate that practically all
the urban and interurban electric rail
ways of the syndicate, are money
makers"
Continuing, Mr.. Newcomb said: "The
syndicate controls 2S telephone com
panies, including the United States
Long Distance Co., ana so far as we
have been able to learn from a super
fetal examination, these companies
are almost without exception able to
pay fair dividends. But in many cases
the earnings and large sums in addi-
tion have, up to this time, been de-
voted to making extensions in the SER
vice"
Mr. Newcomb added that in his judg.
ment the embarrassment of the syn
dicata resulted simnIv from the fact
that many new enterprises were pul
under way before they were financed
1t is stated that no stocks will be
dumped on the market and bargain
hunters will be disappointed. 1t is
stated here that two gentlemen, who
are prominent in the telephone inter
csts of the Federal Company, admitted
that the direct reason for the embar
rassed situation of the syndicate, was
due to the opposition of the Bell Tele
phone company, when 1t came to dis
posing Of telephone securities in thu
east The opinion is generally giver
that the matter could easily have beer
tided over with assistance which cOult
have been obtained in Cleveland had Il
not been for the fact that the recent
fall in copper, securities has taken no
less than $3,oOO,OOO in cash out OF
Cleveland banks.

UNITED STATES IN WAR.
German Writer Discusses Fossil
 bilities of the Future.

Berlin June 7.-In the Deutsch Moneit- schrift for June an anonymous writer ap- parently naval officer of high rank dis ctsses the possible success of the United States in a war with a first-class Euro- pean power. He says:
 ''The United State taste for expansion and enormously widening relations in every part of the world, multiplies the chances of controversies with any one of the great powers. Land operations in Europe are impossible because of the difficulties of the organization of great force Its transportation and Judgement in Europe and it's maintenance here are too vast for consideration.
 "A blockade with It's present fleet is likewise impracticable. The time may come when the United States will have the greatest fleet in the world except that of England. No lack of resources exists. but the problem of manning such a fleet is difficult one. The indications are that the United States will be unable to ob> tain the 350OO men required for her ships in 1904.
 The United States being unable to at- tack the continent, must thru to the colo nies of her adversary. To attack them an expeditionary force must be organ. ized. In the meantime, the European power could easily reinforce it's garrisons, though in widespread possessions. The Americans could find vulnerable points, but the difficulties of supplying the expe- diton would be almost insurmountable. |"
 The writer concludes that for some years to come the United States offen- sive power offers little danger to 6 Eu- ropean state.

FORT DE FRANCES DANGER.
Tidal Wave May obliterate the Mar
 unique City.

New York, June 7.--Captain Barry. Of of the cruiser Dixie, just returned from bearing supplies to the volcano victims in the West Indies. said regarding con- ditions in the island:
 Conditions are not as bad on Mar unique as on St. Vincent. because on Martinique the people are fairly well supplied with everything and there IS no danger in future eruptions. Only a small area Of twelve miles has been de- yastated. but on St. Vincent the destruc- tion extends over third of the island. Plantations, orchards and everything have ben ruined and the means of sub sistence has been taken away rom the people and thousands have been left in need of some kind of support" Of the scientific result of the Dixie's expedition, Professor l. c. Russell of the University of Michigan. said:
 "The over-heated rock bursting against the water near the base of the mountain caused the super-heated steam to burst the mountain open.
 q think Mont Pelee will smoke and re- main active for months" said Professor Russell "It probably will be q case of Vessuvius again. l hardly think Mont Pelee will smolder and blow up in one gigantic explosion. I believe it will quiet down and gradually die away. A new lake will form in the crater. tropical verdue will grow where there is nothing but gray ashes.
 ''rhe people will build new villages and towns at it's foot and again hold their holiday picnics on it's side and Mont Pelee will remain quiet for probably hfty or sixty years. There should be at least seismograph in every volcano, an tn- strument which records the tremors of the earth. 1t was operated by the Chinese centuries ago.
 '"rhe instrument would give the popu- lace timely warning The seismograph at Vesuvius for thirty-five years has done satisfactory and valuable work. There is absolutely no occasion for such tre- mendous loss of life as occurred at St. Pierre.
 ''I do, not think Fort de France Is in much danger from the volcano. but l do think she is in danger from d tidal wave in volcanic districts. These tidal waves are of frequent occurrence. They are caused by a sudden upheavel of tho sea bottom.
 Tn case of such an upheavel Fort De France would surely be wiped out"

MORGAN HANGED IN EFFIGY.
Pennsylvania Strike Has Shown Nc
 Signs of Settlement.

Wilkesbarre Pa., June 7.-There was absolutely no change in the anthracite coal miners strike today which has now rounded out it's fourth week. Several men on the way to or from work were attacked but none of them was seriously hurt.
 Considerable interest was manifested in the strike of the West Virginia soft coal miners, which began today. The anthra- cite mine workers hope the strike in that State will eventually have some good effect in their own struggle.
 President Mitchell, who is directing the soft coal suspension from here, had noth- ing to give out regarding the West Vir- ginia trouble.
 The home of mine worker named Ja- cob Musol, at Kuschke Patch, a small foreign settlement in the lower part of Plymouth, was destroyed by fire today. Two children were alone in the house and had narrow escape from burning. Mrs. Musol claims that because her hus- band did not quit work the strikers and their sympathiZers set her home on fire. This Is denied by the strikers
 The hanging in effigy of J. Pierpont Morgan in one of the streets of South Wilkesbarre by crowd of men and boys was the only incident to mar the still ness of the Wyoming Valley this morn- ing. After the effigy had been hanged the crowd cheered and pelted the object with stones until the police came along and dispersed the several hundred per- sons that made up the throng
 All the mining towns surrounding the city are very quiet The news from Washington that President Roosevelt could not find his way clear to effectng peace between the miners and operators was received here with genuine disap- pointment It had been strongly hoped that tho President would be able to find some means of opening up way to peace.
 The Susquehanna Coal Company put non-union firemen to work in its No. 5 collery at Nanticoke today for the pur- pose of restoring the water supply to a portion of the borough. The company furnished the power for the pumping of water in the reservoir and the action of the miners union in calling out the men at the colliery caused the company to shut down the whole plant The borough council was to have brought injunction proceedings today but they are stayed for the present.
 The four coal and iron policemen who are charged with the shooting of Charles w. McCann. the 13-year- boy at the Stanton colliery Thursday night, were given preliminary hearing today and were committed to jail for q further hearing at such time as the result of the boys injuries shall be definitely known. The only witness examined was a physi- elan who attended the lad The boy s condition grew worse last night and it is feared he cannot recover. The bullet has not yet been located

THE OFFICERS INCOMPETENT
Many of Them are Without Elemer
 fary Education.


 London, June 7-The report of the Com mittee on Military Education and train ing issued today furnishes the strongest official corroboration of the inefficiency of the officers of the British army. The committees report fills forty-eight print ed pages with caustic criticism of the existing system.
 The witnesses were unanimous in say ing that junior officers were lamentably deficient in military knowledge. the de- sire to acquire knowledge and in zeal. The commission finds that the young officers will not work unless compelled to do so. that "keenness is out of fash ion' and that it is not correct form. " The committee declares that many off, cers do not possess an elementary educa- tion. and plaintively protest that officers ought at least be able to express them- selves clearly and concisely in their own language"
 The report condemns the system of both Woolwich and Sandhurst, where ed ucation is far from satisfactory, the in- structors having no inducement to teach the cadets, still less to work"
 "So long as mediocrity is permitted tc pass muster" says the commission, "and sigral ability meets with no substantial recognition, 1t Is useless to hope for any valuable results from verbal amend ments to the regulations. Nothing but | inducements, in the shape of certain re | ward for good work. either in peace ol | war can raise the standard of knowledge | through the commissioner ranks" The committee, therefore, recommend! "an honest system of promotion by merit following upon tests honestly conducted | and honestly reported on."
 | The report plainly hints that officer | can hardly be expected to work so lonI | as the present system of advancement | through social influence is in vogue. O | so long as efficiency has nothing what | ever ts do with the selection Of officer for desirable appointments.
