TRUST COMPANY SCORED.
Albany Institution Charged With Vio-
lating Law in Loans.

A special to the New York World from
Albany says:
In his annual report State Superintendent
Of Banking Kilburn refers scathingly to the
shipbuilding trust scandal and the part
played in 1t by the Trust Company Of the
Republic.
After referring to the failure Of the ship
building trust and ths subsequent Develop
ments, Superintendent Kilburn says:
Upon the first intimation that the trust
company had made unusual commitments
In the case special inquiry was instituted
by me to ascertain the facts, and I was
amazed to find that undertakings had been
entered into and liabilities incurred which
not only jeopardized the solvency of the
trust company, but flagrantly transgressed
the law. The company had made numerous
loans without collateral other than ship
building stock and securities-one Of them
to Mr. Dresser, the president of the COM
pany, and to Mr.. Nixon-for nearly a. mill
lion and three-quarters Of dollars. 1t had.
besides. guaranteed loans made by other
institutions to Mr.. Dresser and Mr.. Nixon
amounting to So, 2,OOOO OOO"

INANAQUINA RETURNS HOME.
Declines to Discuss Meeting With Co.
lombian officials.

A dispatch from Colon yesterday says:
An Indian courier, who came in last night
with message for Gov. Melendes reports
that the Indian Chief Inanaqujaa has re-
turned to Carti. Inanaquina was convened
by the Colombian authorities In a small
steamer to Tixmati, from which point he
and his party coasted to Cart in canoes.
The courier says that Chief Inanaauina
is silent concerning his conference with the
Colombian officers. but the courier sup-
poses that the Colombians attempted to win
the good will Of the chief, with a view to
learning what The United States naval au-
thorfties were doing along the coast. The
Inanaquina incident Is now looked upon al
closed
The United States gunboat Castfne IL
patroiling the coast between Caledonia bay
croft is stationed at Nombre- de- Dias. forty
miles northeast Of Panama. The cruiser
Atlanta is at Porto BelIo, and the gunboat
Nashville is at Bocas del Toro, while the
cruiser Olympia Is taking on coal and pro-
visions In the Chirfqui lagoon, to which
place the supply ship Culgoa has gone. The
Cuigoa later will proceed along the coast
Ior the purpose Of supplying other vessels
OF the patrolling squadron.
The converted cruiser Mayhower will
leave tomorrow with mail for the Warshfps
and also for the purpose of scouting along
the coast toward the Gulf of Darien
The general situation on this side of the
isthmus is tranquil which 1t has practically
been for the past two weeks. There have
been no evidences whatever at Colon that
Colombian forces from Titumati or else-
where are undertaking any movement,
either by sea or land, with a view to invad-
ing Panaman territory.
The only Colombian troops which are
known to be near Panaman territory are
Ortiz at Titumati, and which are .variously
estimated at between 1900 and 1900 men.

BY RAIL TO cH1NcoTEAeuE.
Proposed Extension Of Queen Anne's
Ra1lroad-Opens Historical Section.

~S>~SAS&A 3
Railroad-Opens Historical Section.
The Baltimore Sun says: The extension
OF the Queen AIMS railroad down the
eastern shore peninsula to Chincotea rue
Island will bring a large area within
reach Of Baltimore whose trade has
been diverted to Philadelphia. More espe-
cially will 1t give a direct means Of trans
portation to market Of oysters from one of
the finest oyster-producing bays Of the
country the lower Sinepuxent. It will also
make possible the building Of a summer re-
sort on Chincoteague Island OF on the shore
near that famous island.
The projected road will be partial reaIi-
cation Of plans Of over fifty years ago.
which contemplated the building of q rail-
road from Elkton down the peninsula, and
to lie wholly in Maryland, to Franklin City,
Va.
1t is a tradition that in the seventeenth
century Spanish ship carrying a cargo of
horses was wrecked off Chincoteague and
that although the entire crew Of the vessel
was drowned, the horses swan ashore, and
from them sprang the famous Chinco-
league ponies. In support Of this tradition
1t is said that these ponies have points that
are like no other horses except those of
Spanish breed.

ment of the theater to pay 81 for each man

Providing separate exits from every ball
cony to the ground.
Providing for the erection above the stage
of two stand pipes.
Ordering an investigation into the matter
OF requiring adult guards and guides at all
exits in ali theaters and halls.
Ordering all places of public an usemene
with a seating capacity OF oOo or more 10
provide automatic apparatus to open and
close all doors to exits; the system to oper-
ate in conjunction with levers. any one Of

and at the same time operate electric lights
in all passage ways.
Ordering that the names of the actual pro-
prietor and actual manager of any place Of

plainly indicated by signs.
Directing that every theater shall be pro.

RAILROADS BEAT ALL RECORDS.
Business for the Past Year Shows
Greatest Increase in Earnings.

During the past year the railroads OF the
country broke all records in earning capaci-
ties The gross income in 1903 Increased
s15O, O,OO0, ,OOO The result Of 1903, in the mat
ter of railroad consultations, proved far
less important year than either 1902 or 1901.
The most important railroad mergers dur
ing 1903 were connected with the Rock
Island system. Through these mergers the
mileage of the Rock Island was increased
to more than 1900 miles-making 1t one Of
the largest and most powerful railroad sys-
TENS in the world.
Among the other important railroad
changes were the purchase of the Seaboard
Air Line by interests identified with the
Rock Island and the Southern railway, and
the purchase of the Hooking Valley and the
Reading by Pennsylvania and New YORK
Central interests.
About 500 miles of new railroad were
constructed in the United States in 1903, or
about 1To miles more than was built In
1902
Never in the career of the railroads were
rates better maintained than in 1903. The
railroads in every section of the country
had all the traffic they could possibly ham
die, and there was no incentive TO the cut
ting of rates.
In a financial way the Pennsylvania far
outstripped ell other roads. Early In the
year 1t sold $75,0OO,OO0 of new stock for $40.
100000. This was followed by the sale or
over VI SloChS anu boiiuo ciA ~--~
subsidiary properties. This heavy borrow
ing by Pennsylvania absorbed most OF the
floating supply of capital. and the othef
railroads later in the year found great dlh-
Guilty in borrowing money.
The congestion of securities was SO great
that the other railroads were unable to sell
their bonds except at heavy discount.
Most of the companies were unwilling to do
this, and, instead, borrowed on their notes,
running from one to two years. In this
way the Burlington, the Union Pacific, the
Great Northern, the st. Louis and San
Francisco and the Lake Shore borrowed
from s. 900, ,OO0 to 100000 apiece.
In the matter Of earnings the railroads
broke all previous records in 1908 While
the earnings for the entire year have not
yet been complied, 1t is certain that during
1908 they will be the largest in the railroad
industry. The actual increase in gross
earnings for the ten months ending with
October over the corresponding period OF
1902 was more than a125. 100000. This
would Indicate that the gross earnings OF
the railroads In the country in 1903 will
show an increase Of at least $150,OO0,0OO,
and In all probability an even larger in
crease over 1902.
In the matter Of net earnings the rail-
roads do not make quite as favorable a
showing as in gross. The increase in
wages and the increase in the cost OF prac-
tically all materials that enter into opera
ton and maintenance increased operating
expenses heavily and reduced net earnings
The increase In net earnings for the lead
ing railroads of the country for the ten
months ending with October was approxi-
mately $57 100000.
