NEW YORK CENTRAL
EXPLAINS ADVANCES

IN a statement Clsd with the Inter
state Commerce Commission, TIE New
York Central and Hudson River Rail
road has explained its reasons for the
advance in freight rates on grain anG
grain products, dressed meats, packing
house products, and other articles.
The chief reason given IS that the cost
Of operating a railroad in winter is
higher than in other seasons, and thar
in consequence OF this, it is customary
for companies to increase the rates Of
transportation. 1t is denied, however.
that there has been a general advance
of freight rates.
The statement further sets forth thai
the advances which have been made are
restricted to certain commodities on
which rates had been reduced below a
reasonable basis. Moreover, the rail-
road asserts, the increase has been ex-
tremely light. although the higher cost
Of maintenance would have warranted a
greater advance.

NEW MOVE EXPECTED

It is expected within the next day or
two there will be new move taken in
connection with the litigation looking
TO the settlement of the affairs of the
Capital Savings Bank
On Tuesday Justice Hagner appointed
three receivers to take charge OF the
assets Of the institution. This action
was taken by the court in connection
with the suit Of DR., William a. War
field. who asked for their appointment
and also for an Injunction 10 prevent the
officers of the bank from disposing Of
any of the assets. The action on the
petition OF Dr. Warfeld was also taken
by consent of counsel interested. with
the exception of Attorneys Lambert and
Baker. who represent four of the board
OF directors of the bank
When the proposition TO agree rs to
the appointment of the receivers was
made it was favorabIy received by Mr..
Lambert, and an agre sment was reached
by counsel in relation to the matter.
Later, for some reason, the plan was
changed, and when the matter Of the
appointment-of the receivers was reach

he had Withdrawn as one OF the parties
to the agreement. This, however, did
not affect the matter OF the appointment
Of the receivers at that time. and At
torneys John Ridout. Joseph H. Stewart,

court.

CHARLES N. SGHWAB
IS HIMSELF AGAIN
Brother Brings News of Re-
turn of Health.

NEW YORK. Jan. S-Friends OF
Charles NJ. Schwab. president of the
United States Steel Corporation. will be
pleased to learn that he has fully re-
covered from his recent HI-heaIth and
that it is his intention to return to the
United States to take up his duties as
head of the big Steel Trust much ear
lier than was his original intention.
This news was brought to New York
by his brother Joseph Z. Schwab. who
Is the president of the Steel Foundries
Trust. The latter has recently returned
from a visit to his brother, having gone
abroad only for a week or ten days
accompanying hiss father and mother
across the ocean. He reports that it IS
Mr.. Schwab's intention to return 10
America early in March
I found my brother in unusually
coed spirits. and he certainly appeared
to be his old self" Joseph f. schwab
told his friends who were inquIring
after his brothers health He told ar,
be was feeling tip-top, and expected to
return to New York some time in March
probably in the early part Of the month.
His appearance indicates that his hol-
iday has done him a great deal of good -
There has been frequent comment in
financial circles that soon after Mr.
Schwabs return to the United states
he would resign his position as presi-
dent Of the Steel Trust. and that H c.
Frick. of Pittsburg, would succeed him.
Mr. Tricks recent entrance into the
finance committee of the corporation and
his emphatic denial that he would be-
come the next president of the company
have set at rest the stories Of Mr..
SchwRb's retirement.
In some quarters. however. It is be
Iteved that Mr.. Schwab will resent Mr..
Friek's entrance into the finance com
mittee. which Is the most important
branch of the Steel Trusts administra-
tive organization. on account of the hos
tnity created in the famous Carnegie
Frick breach.
Those who know both men say the
enmity which was aroused at that time
still exists. and it was for that reason
Mr.. Frick did not take a more active
part in the management Of the big trust.
His entrance into the finance committee
is said to be due to Morgan diplomacy
and the recent acquisition of the Union
Steel Company. in which he was a large

GENERAL REYES IN ACCORD
Sympathsizes With President Diaz's
POIIcies-Statement of Prom
inent Banker.
GENERAL REYES IN ACCORD

NEW YORK, Jan. S.-Enrique c. CTeel
OF Chihuahua, Mexico. the leading banker
and fnancier of that country, arrived
in New York yesterday morning.
Mr.. Creel stands in much the same
relation to the financial and Industrial
interests Of Mexico that J. Pierpont
Morgan does to the same interests in
the United States. He is president OF
the Banco Central Mexicano, Of Mexico
City, and Of the Banco Minero, of Chi
huahua. With his father-in-Iaw. General
Terrazas. he is extensively interested in
manufacturing. railroad. and Industrial
enterprises in northern Mexico. and has
been one Of the prime factors in IN
ducing the large investments Of Amerf-
can capital in that country in recent
years.
Mr.. Creel is accompanied by Emetcrio
de Ia Cara, jT-, who is the attorney In
Mexico for the American Smelling and
Refining Company. and the Guggenhefm
Exploration Company
AS the intimate friend of President
Diaz and Senior LiInautour. the Mexican
secretary OF finances. Mr.. CreeI is entitled
TO speak with authority concerning. con
ditions in that country both political and
commercial. His attention was called
70 the fact that considerable alarm and
uncertainty had been aroused in the
minds o. American investors in Mexico
BY the recent resignation Of Gen Bar-
na-do Reyes rom the portfolio of var
81 President Diaz's cabinet
Yes. he replied. Il have seen some
comments on the subject in the American
press. and I have read them with very
great surprise. They haves no doubt
been inspired by people who wanted TO
speculate b. alarming the holders Of
Mexican securities bur in fact there is
no ground for any uneasiness whatever.

bank, and because Of this has no stand
ing in court. They also denied that
the affairs of the bank are in The con
dition represented by Dr. WarheId. AID
said that it would not be for the best
interests Of all concerned that the bank
was placed in the hands OF a receiver.
The answer made By the four directors
referred to was in reply to the rule
Issued against them to show cause why
a receiver should not be appointed for
the bank The receivers having been
appointed. IT IS now probable that the
directors represented by Messrs. Lam
bert and Baker win make a demurrer
to the complaint filed by DR.. WarheId.
and also push the matter tc a hearing
on their answer to the petition. which
win be fled within few days
At this time however. everyone con-
nected with the affair feels certain that,
no matter what course is pursued, theirs
win be some interesting developments.
II has been insinuated by several per-
sons connected with the bank that az
least one OF the stockholders has great
" overdrawn his account. No one seems
to be able. or. at least. willing. 20 nans
the person said 20 have overdrawn, bus
all agree that one account has been
greatly Overdrswn.
1t is development IN connection with
this that everyone interested IN the set
tlement of the affairs Of the bank is
looking forward to as q result Of the
work Of the receivers.
It Is said the first thing the receivers
viii do when they begin an investigz-
tion Of the affairs of the bank Is 10
employ an expert accountant to assist
them in strengthening out the accounts.
This will be tedious undertaking. for.
it is said, the credits and debts Of the
bank vary in some instances from FIVE
cents to $50 600.
