FURTHER GLIMPSES INTO
81 SHiPBUHDING CO.'S ACCOUNTS

New York, Dec. 24.-Alfred Rose, the
accountant who made the investiga-
ton of the financial status of the Beth
lehem Steel Company for Receiver
Smith, resumed the stand at the ship
building hearing to-day. continuing his
testimony as to the result Of his inves-
legations.
The construction and repair accounts
of Bethlehem were the first subjects of
inquiry by Counsel Untermyer, his OBJ
ject being to find If excessive expendi-
lures were made under these headings
in order to withhold dividends on the
Bethlehem stock held by the shipbuild-
ing company.
Mr.. Rose answered that the construc-
ton account, $163,131 for the year end
ing May 1, 1902, was increased, accord
ing to the auditors statements during
the following year to $3.50, 500, and that
$l3O,444 had been charged to this ac-
count during May, June and July of
this year. this expenditure being at the
rate of over 100000 per year.
In regard to net earnings, Mr.. Roses
figures showed that the earnings for
the six months ended Oct. 81, 1903
amounted to $1,010.662, the monthly
earnings in July having suddenly
jumped to $489 100 from an average of
less than $4,000 during the preceding
two months.
Mr.. Guthrie questioned the witness
The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1903-12-25

at length about the deduction of $780,
900 in assets upon which Mr.. Inter
myer dwelt yesterday and about the
possible increase in value of manufac-
tured goods and material on hand over
book inventory value The deduction
was made on Nov. 80, but was charged
back to July, and Mr.. Rose said that
the statement to the stock exchange,
purporting to be an excerpt from the
books of July 81, which carried this
$25000 among the assets, was there
fore correct, so far as the books were
concerned.
Mr.. Guthrie tried to get the witness
to say that If $4,000 or $400, 900 of
partly finished or finished product was
due from the United States government
and had been billed he would consider
1t proper to include the profits on such
account in the inventory OF the COM
pany.
ITO anticipate profits" the witness
replied, lis a dangerous thing to do,
as we have found by examination of
other concerns than the shipbuilding
company"
IF anything in your testimony of this
morning seemed to be an aspersion on
the honor or integrity of any of the
officers of the Bethlehem plant, may l
ask, Mr.. Rose, If it was your inten-
ton that such an inference or charge
should lie against them?" asked Mr.
Guthrie.
"Assuredly not That was not nv
intention, and if any such inference
should be drawn, l should be sorry"
replied the witness.
An adjournment was taken to Jan. 5,
1904
