CAPE MAY, N. j., July /, 1905
Col Frank N. Barksdale of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company is planning a
meet which. he says, will eclipse anything
of the kind heretofore shown on the Ameri-
can beaches
The meet in Florida last spring will pale
in comparison with the one Col. Barksdale
and his friends have in mind Records are
to be torn asunder and remade. Plans are
well under way for this mighty assembly
of automobiles, which is scheduled to take
place about the middle of this month.
There is a stretch of smooth, hard, firm
sand which skirts the foaming pillows from
the Stockton House to Sewells Point, dis
lance of :hree and a half miles, that can
not be equaled in the world. Upon this
plateau of gray sand the automobiles will
speed their machines in an effort to make
new records, and the, have no doubt about
making them. With Col Barksdale this
week there was A. II. Chadbourne OF Phila-
delphia, looking over the ground and max
ing the necessary preliminary arrange
ments. These gentlemen say the beach is
in admirable condtion-the best they have
found in this Countrywide hardest and
srnoothest. Running the whole length of
the strand is a boardwalk long enough and
strong enough to accommodate several hun
bred thousand spectators, who, by means
of the elevation, will have an unobstructed
view Of the contest from start to finish.
Mr. Horace M Cake, who has been at the
head and front of the Stockton for years,
has leased old Congress Hall for a period
of five years.
Commodore ]. Wesley Allison is highly
elated at the prospect of spirited race
among the launches this season. The Cape
May Yacht Club, which was organized last
summer, has it's trim club house in fine
order and there are almost a hundred smart
boats belonging to this organization. The
commodore told me yesterday that chal-
lenge would be sent out to the various clubs
and individual launch owners along the
coast, having for its purpose the encour-
agement of a series OF races during this
and next month. With automobillng, yacht
ing and golf, Cape May gives promise of
spending much of her time out in the air
this season.

panies which they dominate. They would
be injuring their pocketbooks If they did.
But the desire for "perquisites'-that Is
what inside information amounts to-affects
their views Such cases that of Ameri-
can Mating, where the dominant cliQueS
for stock gambling purposes declared divi-
bends that had not been earned, are really
unusual and infrequent. The guilty direc-
tors had TO make restitution to the COM
pany, but not to the public they deceived
into paying absurd prices for securities of
little worth. The milking of the corpora
lions by certain cliQues is not very exhaust
ing. 1t is that there is any milking at all
that is wrong and that is precisely what
the CliqueS don't see. Nobody is hurt; not
a soul is ruined; the littlest stakeholder
cannot feel 1t. Elect good men to Office
that is the remedy for political corruption
It's very easy. The reformers will swear
to that Elect good men to the directorates
of corporations. It's very easy. Put in men
who ticker deaf: men who do not go
ahead and then ask the consent of the
stockholders and get it for the asking. To
find such men, that is the problem. There
seems to be only one solution: Educate
these men to listen to public opinion. They
are in listening mood just now. There
ought to be no scarcity of teachers and
there are relatively few pupils to teach.

Further authoritative confirmation is given
for the statement that the New York,
New Haven and Hartford will under no
quired western connection, Ontario and

will be held for protection. Its acquisition
vital to the New Haven system, and
even though IL should not in a large way
add directly to the revenues of the parent
system it's value for the purpose indicated
is so clearly established that 1t will never
be surrendered. Its possession is a perma-
nent guarantee of what New Haven con-
siders an equitable percentage of traffic
revenues. What was formerly allowed the
New Haven as a favor can now be eXacted
a right, and 1t is a fact that such divis-
ion instead OF being reluctantly admitted
formerly Is now cheerfully granted by the
great factors of the western transportation
field.
1t is only recently that the Importance of
the deal to the New Haven system has
been dawning upon the public, although in
the railroad world its significance was I'M
derstoOd from the first. It was one of the
great railroad coups of the period Presi-
dent Mellen. who took the initiative in the
matter. had some difficulty in convincing
his board of directors of the wisdom of the
purchase. The strongest opposition en-
countered was from William Rockefeller
whose more important interests lay with
the New York Central, which itself had
designs on Ontario and Western.
MIR. Mellen finally prevailed against the
Rockefeller influence, although he was not
given authority TO make the purchase until
l o'clock in the afternoon OF the last day
OF the option that had been secured. That
gave him only two hours in which to raise
S14, 600 coo and close the deal New Haven s
credit is gilt edged in Wall street and Mr..

The Russian government has turned down
Charles NJ Schwab's ambitious proposition
to reconstruct the cars navy. Details are
lacking, but 1t is said that the st. Peters
burg decision was due TO Mr. Schwab's de-
termined stand in the matter of payments.
If that Is the case the young iron master
is lucky. Nine out of ten contractors who
have anything to do with the Russian gov
eminent go broke unless they consent to
divide enormous graft with officials. If
they attempt to hold out against the gov
ernmental corruption machinery payments
are delayed until bankruptcy stares the
victims in the face and when that period
arrives Shylock terms of the rankest hind
are exacted Knowing this to be the case
Mr.. Schwab is said to have demanded abso-
Lutte guarantee of prompt payment as his
work on the new navy progressed. Finding
he would not yield In this important mat
ter the government laid down on its ar
rangement with him.
What amounts to almost an official
pledge has been given that the dividend on
Union Pacific, common, will be raised to
per cent at the next meeting of directors
about the middle of July. At the same
time cold water is thrown upon the previ
ouBly half-made pledge OF dividend be-
ginning for Southern Pacific, common, and
stockholders of that company are given
intimation that they will have to main
tain their souls in patience for 4 while
longer. Union Pacific dividends on its COM
mon will be on an increased stock capitali-
cation, nearly so, 100000 of the convertible
bonds having been turned into stock within
the last few months, making the total COM
mon share capital nearly $40, 100000 in
stead of $l00,0O0,000 as previously.
At the same time it must be remembered
that holders of common stock in Southern
Pacific will be called upon to bear the
handicap of distribution of something
like S40,00O,000 of preferred stock with a
possibility of increase in preferred to
slOO,O00,0O0 at the caprice of Mr.. Hartman
and his directorate. The Issue of this
Southern Pacific preferred was widely
heralded at the time of its authorization
as being a bull card on the common stock,

tory to Wall street

News and Gossip
From Wall Street
ffffkfSfff
BY W. G. NICHOLAS.

NEW YORK, July 1.-The story is fire.
quently heard of late that the great bank
ing interests contributed moral and sub
stantial support to the rally In the stock
market. Just why the banking interests
should at this time desire any rise In prices
is not made clear to the popular under
standing, and among experienced traders
skepticism is expressed as to whether there
is genuine earnestness behind the move
ment. Whether there be or not the fact
remains that the public persists in holding
aloof, and down to date there has been
conspicuous failure to enlist outside help
in the game. If the ultimate purpose be to
make high market on which to unload
stocks which have accumulated on the
shelves there will have to be a change in
sentiment before the object can be attained.
Ever bearing in mind that Wall street is a
manufacturing center-a community de-
voted to the manufacture and sale of Sc
curitieS-there may be substantial ground
for the theory that the banking interests
are behind the bullish activity, otherwise
the conclusion must be reached that 1t has
Its inspiration in a professional desire for
action and in a willingness on the part of
insurance companies and other holding cor
porationS to see quotations marked up about
the time they take their appraisements of
assets for use in semi-annual and annual
reports To such institutions the upward
movement at this time is very grateful,
and 1t is more than likely that they con-
tributed actively to the marking up of
goods.

To hear the talk about the brokers' Of
fees one might imagine that the entire
S142 100000 of July disbursements will be
Immediately reinvested in stocks. AS a
matter of fact only small fraction of the
amount distributed will be reinvested imme-
diately, probably not 10 per cent of 1t. This
distribution represents the semi-annuaI in
come of tens of thousands of people. and it
is applied by the fortunate recipients to the
payment of household and other current
living expenses. The July disbursements
are larger this year than last by 5000. 600
or 100000. and are pretty nearly at rec
ord figures.
