ELECTRIC DEVELOPMENT RECORD BREAKING. Reports Made at Thirtieth Annual Convention of
 Electric Assn.

Washington, June 6.-That t906-7 was the record- breaking year in electrical development was the summing up of the progress report submitted by T. Cummerford Martin to the thirtieth an nual convention of the National Elec- trlc Light association in session here. A number of new central station en- terprises was in excess of 30O Ill the six months up to March of this year, q gain of 13S new electrical power enter prizes was reported, making a total of 1902 for the United States, Mexico and the West Indies.
 "The total" MT. Martin said, ''does not increase in proportion to new plants because the constant tendency toward consolidation operates steadily in the direction of lessenng the gross number. The same tendency toward consolida- ton has had the effect of increasing capitalization on account of the new money thus brought into the industry and the larger body of securities that can be fioated and made profitable by increased economies and greater eff clency."
 Assuming that capital increased 20 per cent. during the past year. the to- tai amount MT. Martin said, invested in the American central station industry at present reaches the enormous sum of $S5O,O0o000.. Gross earnings of the central station industry have increased $S0O00,O00 in the past year Many of the larger companies report a growth of about 20 per cent.
 Operating expenses, MT. Martin plsced at $115,OOO.O0O, or about per cent on the whole investment of capi- tai. Tn view of the risks, changes and high executive skill demanded" MT. Martin said, this cannot. be regarded as in any wise excessive. No private enterprise could be run on such nar- row margin"
 Greater and more diversified use of electricity as. result of its cheapness, efficiency and cleanliness account for the immense electrical development in the period covered by the report. "As broadly indicative of American central station advance in general statistics for New York city were presented showing that at the present time cleo trical energy was supplied through 66,- 900 meters to 2,461 ,26l inoandescent lamps, 92,32O arc lamps and 14O,OOC horse power in motors Additional in- stallatlons in storage batteries, heating appliances and other devices bring the total use of electricity on Manhattan Island alone to 4,762,s1S equivalents of 16 candles.
 Over 10000 users of some other kind of power in New York changed to cleo tricitY In one year. In one month the gain of incandescent lamps reached a total of nearly 90,O0O,

THE 1907 ALUMNI FUND
Final Effort Now Being Nude to In-
 crease Total of Last Year.

The report of the Alumni University Fund association for 1905-O6 showed contributions to date to that fund of $376, 193,G7 which with interest of $17,- 56S.04 added, brought the total of $393, 16l.T. July 1, 1906, the principal. made up from amounts reserved for that purpose each year and not applied for the annual income, amounted to $780, S05Sl. During l005-06, the donations to principal were $74,O5392, and contri- buttons for 1OO5-OG were $1l4,H9.S6, as compared with $5S.475.59 for 19O4-O5. an increase of $6O,94427
 A strong effort is now reaching it's culmlnation to interest as many gradu- ates as possible in the fund for 19O6-07 with the hope that good showing will be made in the report to be issued this summer The growth of this fund, which is of the easiest method by which the average graduate can contri- butte to the general funds and the an- nual Income of the university, has been remarkable. Il was started in 1890, at the commencement of that year, prn- cpally through a practical talk 3n the possibilities of the project by General w. w. Sklddy, '65, at the Alumni hall morning meeting. The plan was at once adopted and the following day an as- sociation formed The class of 80 con- tributed $4OO for the fund and 55 raised $S0o
 Since that time the fund has steadily gained and the number of contribu- tions increased. Up to and including 1892 about $5O0 was applied per an- mum as income; in 1893 and 1894, $12,- 800 each year; in 1895, $1O,0OO; in 1896, $11.517; in 1S97,. $9, 71S and $10.0O0 in each of the following years 1898, 1899, 1900, 1901 1902 and 1903 Tn 1904 there was $12,50O applied as income; in 1905, $2S- 900; in 1906, $4O,OOO, and $1O,OOO of this amount was asked asked to be used for the increase of salaries.

commended by the committee to the legislature up to May 29. The total which is for two years, is s6,275,5 300, but of this the sum of s435,15O for court expenses is subject to change because of the bill placing sheriffs on salaries and the allowance of $2OO,0O0 for the legislature is an estimate. The pamph- let contains great deal of detailed in- formation, which, to be valuable, had to be compiled with great care and ac- curacy. The summary follows:

RoTHScHILD BLAMES ROOSEVELT
FOR MONEY MARKET DEPRESSION
The Stocks Are Low Because the Govern
ments Are Hitting at Capital,
Saws the Financier.

London, Oct. I0-Lord Rothsehild has
given to a reporter Of the Daily News
his views ON the depression in the money
market.
"Stocks are low" said the fnaneier
because governments all over the world
are hitting at capital"
He demurred TO the suggestion that
the depression was attributable TO the
trade boom, leaving little cash free for
investment. After discussing Social
ism's aims, the proposal for old age pen
sions and other similar schemes in Great
Britain, lord Rothschild continued;
President Ro0sevelt's speeches
against the conduct OF American rail-
ways are greatly disturbing the market.
We all admit that manipulation of rail
road stocks in the United States has
not always been quite what it should
have been, but that does not detraet
from the serious character Of the presi-
dents campaign. II is difficult, almost
impossible, as things stand, for MS to
furnish from this country fresh capital
for railway development across the wa
ter"
Asked whether the prices Of leading
securities were likely to improve as the
autumn progresses, he declined to proph.
esy, adding: II am told that inves
tors in New York are boarding their
money until they see how events turn,
and that they may display greater conf
dence when spring comes, but none of
us is in a position TO indulge in fore
costs"
Lord Rothsehild's interests in Ameri
can securities are vast, figuring way up
in the millions.
