Mr.. DRESSER REVEALS
SECRETS OF SHIPYARD
Ways of Modern Promoters Barred
by Former Magnate.

NEW YORK, Oct. S.-High finance as
exempIifed by the modern school Of
Wall Street promoters, was stripped Of
all mystery yesterday. How the devisers
of great modern combinations demand
and obtain huge commissions for them
selves while placing subpromoters on
the ground floor and then invite credu-
lous investors to get in anywhere they
can. was laid bare in the story told by
Daniel lie Roy Dresser, formerly head OF
the Trust Company of the Republic and.
as he once thought. one of the foaters of
the $50, O0O, 900 United States shipbuild-
ing Company.
For six hours Mr.. Dresser sat in a
chair in the library of Samuel Inter
myer. senior counsel for the first mort
gage bondhelders. at 80 Broad Street.
and revealed the inner secrets of the
shipbuilding concern.
The most surprising were the vertical
ton of the reports that Charles NJ.
Schwab was not a free agent in the dis
position Of the Bethlehem Steel plant,
which he purported TO own and control;
that he had to consult ]. Pierpont Nor
gan before he could effect a transfer OF
the property to the shipbuilding COM
pany. and that Mr.. Morgan demanded
one-quarter of the S20,0OO,O00 stock
bonus Mr. schwab was to receive in ad-
dition to the $4,000 900 first mortgage
bonds at 90, stipulated by him.
