TELLS HILLS STOCK RULES
Great Northern's Vice President Tes-
tlfies Before Commission

tines Before commission
By Associated Press.
ST. PAUL, Aug. 1.-During a hear
ing before the state railroad and ware
house commission on merchandise
rates in Minnesota, r.. Harrington, vice
president of the Great Northern, made
the statement that no matter how
great the earnings of the Great North
ern railroad, President ]. ]. Hill had
laid down the rule that stockholders
should not receive a higher dividend
than per cent. Mr.. harrington also
said that Improvements were paid for
out of the surplus until a new issue
of stock became necessary, when stock
was issued in blocks of $25,00O,OO0.
Mr.. Harrington was asked by Com
missioner Staples what became of the
SIS, 10000 realized from the sale Of
stock
This goes back into the treasury to
make good the expenditures for i'm
provements made from the surplus -
said Mr. harrington, "and to pay loans
which are frequently made for short
time"
eff you use the surplus for the con-
struction of new lines" pursued Mr..
Staples, where do the stockholders get
their money!
Don't Get Money Back
"The stockholders don't get the
money back for their Stock was the
answer. Their money is an invest
ment. They only get the interest. j.
j. Hill has always made it rule that
not more than per cent shall be paid
in interest on stock. The use of sur
plus for new lines is simply a tenn
porary use of treasury assets-borrow-
ing, as it were, from the surplus until
the stock is later Sold.'
''If you were to build 800 miles of
new line where would the money come
from?" asked Mr.. Staples.
Eventually from subscribers for
new stock" was the answer.
MIR. Staples gave it as his opinoin that
the method testified to demonstrated
that profits were too large. Some dis
cuSsion as to accumulated surplus
caused the matter to be looked up, and
it was shown the Great Northern had
on hand a surplus of more than
$19 000. .000
"The profits should never permit of
the accumulation of $25.O0000O sur
plus" was Mr.. Staples shot on the
subject.
Mr.. Harrington was asked why it was
that when new stock was issued it was
not sold at 100, or at its real market
value, instead of at par. Mr.. Earring
ton then made the statement as to the
method of the present controlling
stockholders continuing to secure con-
troll of the new stock at a small figure.

have a rule that every stockholder
may purchase one share of new stock

Vague Verdict in Murder Case.

The CorOner's jury in the case OF
Mrs. Morris Natal, who was found
dead with hands and feet tied in her
apartments on December 13, rendered
Il verdict that death was due to fright
caused by robbery of her diamonds and
money by some person or persons uD-
known" Much to the surprise of the
community the jury failed to officially
onnec Frank Perdoni with the crime,
although the man. handcuffed to How
ard Morris, an alleged accessory. was
brought down TO Asbury Park from
Freehold by the detectives and subject
ed to a severe examination at the
hands of Prosecutor Nevins. Morris
partial confession was read to Perdoni.
The prisoners looked wan and sad.
Morris was pale and thin. while Per-
donfs eyes were moistened as he gazed
upon familiar scenes. A secret session
of the inquest was ordered at the in
stance OF the Prosecutor and the de-
PENDANTS lawyers. At the close of the
inquest Perdoni and Morris, handeuffed
to Detective 4Iinugh. were taken back
to Freehold Jail. That the suspects
will be held for the Grand Jury is GER
tain. 1t is known that much valuable
evidence in possession OF the PrOsecu-
tors Office was not disclosed at the in
quest, and that the detectives have an
array Of facts which. it is believed. will
insure an Indictment. Morris has con-
fessed that Perdoni concocted a plot TO
rob Mrs. Natal. although he denies
any knowledge of the actual commits
sion of the crime. In Asbury Park the
verdict of the Coroner's jury was re-
garded as vague and unsatisfactory.
1t was hoped that the jury would fix
the crime, and that the Prosecutors
case was sufficiently marshaied to JUS
tify an exposure of his hand. The de-
PENDANTS lawyers in all probability viii
apply for the discharge of the prison
ers. unless indictments are found with
in a few days. Rumors that Morris
and Perdoni had agreed to disclose the
identity of a third accomplice and TO
reveal the hiding place of the stolen
diamonds were not verified and are
probably untrue.
