0mpany is concerned, it's
igs have been withheld in
aberate attempt to wreck the
ed States Shipbuilding Com
IL.
The reports deals fully with
he name of Chas. Schwab, and
he nature of the Bethlehem
Transaction, says Mr.. Smith, is
such as ito justify him" (Mr.
Schwab) in saying that he did
not sell the Bethlehem Steel COM
pany but took over the United
States Shipbuilding Company,
the directors of that company,
giving him $3O,OOO,0OO in stock
and bonds for taking it off their
hands.
The report deals at length with
each separate phase of the Ship
building corporations existence
and the terms on which the vari
Gus plants or corporations we're
taken over by the United States
Shipbui1ding Company. He
shows that, when in many in
stances, it was agreed to retain
for terms of years officers in the
constituent companies and scores
heavily the agreement with the
Bethlehem Steel Company.
Of the reasons for the failure
of the shipbuilding company, the
report says:
The real reason why the earn
ings fell below the anticipated
profits, the receiver says, was
becauseprevious alleged earnings
had been figured upon a percent
age of completion of contracts,
which percentage in many in
stances was erroneous.
1T appears" he continues,
that with the exception of the
United Iron Workers, the subsi-
diary companies, taken together,
had absolutely no working capt.
tai, but on the contrary their liza
bilities exceeded their resources
in the sum of $294,719. The fol-
lowing was the condition of the
companies at the time of their
purchase:
"Defcit-Bath Iron Works,
$3,518; Crescent Shipyards, $4O3,.
592; Harlan and Hollingsworth
Company, $73,S13;S. T. Moore &
Sons Co., 5000; total, $485, 463.
''Surplus-Eastern Shipbuild-
ing Co., 1891; Hide Windlas
Co., $3.50, 453; total, $19O,S44.
Net deficit being in excess Of
liabilities over assets $294,719.33.
"The Union Iron works, it was
found, had a working capital of
So, 1913, $50.
AS the principal part of the
alleged working capital above
mentioned was confined to Union
Iron Works." he concludes, TT
will appear that so far as the re-
naming companies are concern
ed, when taken over by the Unit
ed States Shipbuilding Company
they not only had no working
capital, taken collectively, but
were in immediate need of fnan-
cial assistance.
From the foregoing facts, it
appears to have been the inten-
tion of those responsible for the
statements and figures alleged to
have been relied upon, to mislead
and deceive the investing public
and the then present and future
creditors of the company"
Receiver Smith then quotes
from the prospectus issued to
the public toinduce subscriptions
for bonds and concludes that a
comparasion of this prospectus
with the facts discloses false and
misleading statements in the fol-
lowing regards:
!. At the date of this pros

IS. These companies did not
have a working capital of more
than $4,000, 900; the figures of the
accountants show only working
capital of $3,27S, 7e8,48. This
working capital, however, was
almost obliterated by subse-
quent adjustments.
g. The statement that the
profits on contract work in hand
would be $1,000, 900 was undenia-
bly, false. If it is claimed that
the profit was estimated on the
entire amount of $50, 100000
worth of contracts (which was
not true), the utmost profit that
could be looked for, according to
the figures of the accountants,
was $3,6O0,O0O.
"A liberal estimate would have
placed the earnings at only
trifle over $2,OOO,OOO."
The report then gives the net
book value of the constituent
companies July 81, 1902,according
to accountants statements from
the books of the company, as
$12, AL, SIC, for which the direc-
tors of the United States Ship
building Company parted with
$40, 997, 900, in stock and bonds.
Viewing the acquisition of the
properties from the standpoint
of the surplus and plant values,
as disclosed by the books of the
companies" the report reads,
the directors appear to have
made gift of upward of SIS, OOO,-
900 worth of stock and bonds of
the United States Shipbuilding
Company entrusted to their care.
Mr.. Smith writes that Beth1e-
hem deliberately used up it's
earnings in making enormous
purchases of material for it's own
benefit, and in extensions, i'm
provements and repairs, in or
der apparently to keep it's earn
ings from the United States
Shipbuilding Company"
Referring to the million dollars
in the stock and bonds "deliber-
ately given away" Mr.. Smith
says:
Who participated in this
wholesale plumber? The testi-
money. now being taken in the
proceedings will doubtless dis
close the names of all the parti-
cipants. Certain it is that much
of this vast amount was taken by
persons and corporation who
parted with little or no consider
alton therefor. Blocks of stock
went to the vendors of the con-
stituent plants and to the pur-
chasers of the bonds, as bonus,
absolutely without benefit to the
company; $20,0O0,000, profit adj
mittedly went to Charles M.
Schwab in addition to the agreed
price for Bethlehem. Some of it
went to the promoters of this
artistic swindle; and when all had
been provided for what was left
of the bonds, amounting to ST.
100000, was handed back to the
company ostensibly to supply it
with working capital"
The receiver then declares
that he is advised that the VEN
doris and promoters and their as
sociates in the transfer and con-
veyance of the various plants to
the United States Shipbuilding
company, without paying value
therefor, became liable thereon
to said corporation and that the
shipbui1ding company can recov-
er the amount of this indebted
ness from the holders of this
stock.
The receiver charges that the

loss of our secretary, Mrs. Cora
E. Lee, who so efficiently served
the society for three years. II
gives comfort to her co-wokers
to know that she, too, was ready
when the summons came.
The society has been especially
favored in the matter of presi-
dents, having had only two since
its organization, both of sound
common sense and conservative,
whose Christian integrity none
doubt. We all loved Mrs. Bitch
and would express ourselves, as
to the present encum bent, we're
we not too considerate of the
probable embarrassment our re-
marks might cause.
At present we have a member
ship of As and trust to enlist
many more workers among the
members and friends of the
church. Our society is very
proud of being the only Auxiliary
in the Valdosta district, which
took up some special work last
year. We undertook at that
term the support of a Bible
woman, who was named Belle
Linn in honor of the organizer of
this society and is working in
Soochon, China. Collections of
pledges for this work have been
made sufficient to defray her ex.
penses this the second year.
There will also be a fund raised
toward the support of Miss Leila
Roberts in Mexico, who is the
Missionary given the Valdosta
district to support this year.
Our society ought to be much
larger, with the membership at
present in our church, and we
trust with the work properly
understood, there may be many
new names to enroll, who feel it
a pleasure to add their mite to
the salvation of the children who
walk in darkness, that they may
see great Light"
