PENNSYLVANIA'S STOCK
INCREASE.

Annotated PrekH to The Evening Times.
Philadelphia. Pa, March 1.-THE
stockholders of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road company, at their annual meeting
held in horticultural hal! today. took
favorable action on the request of the
directors for authorization to issue
$1O0,000,000 in new stock and addi-
tional bonds to the amount of $780,
100000. This proposed increase in the
Pensylvania's securities has attracted
much attention in financial circles,
chiefly for the reason that it Is the
largest issue in the history of the conf
pany AS matter of fact, the amount
has never been exceeded by any rail-
road in America.
How much of these new securities
will be issued in the near future has
not been announced. 1t is thought that
before the end of the year enough of
the new securities will be offered TO
supply funds to pay off $50,OO0,OOO of
notes which mature next November, to
meet the cost of this years work on
the New York city terminal, and to pay
for new equipment and other facilities,
the need of which had not been fore
seen last June, when President Cassatt
issued his statement of what he ex-
pected tho financial requirements Of
the road would be for the next two
years.
The Pennsylvania recently has had
to order $1,000 more steel freight cars
and other equipment in proportion.
These extra freight cars alone will
cost something like $4,000. 900, and II
as much more money Is needed for 9th.

The Thaw Trial Smashes All Records

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
New York, March 12.-The trial of
Harry X. Thaw for his life for the mur-
der of Stanford White has realized the
predictions made at its beginning that
it would become the most famous in
the history of criminal trials in Ameri-
ca. The long trial has been a record
breaking one in many respects.
One of the most interesting side
lights on the famous case is afforded
by a comparison of the amount of pub
licity it has received with the amount
of newspaper space given to other his
tory-making events of recent times.
Since the date of the beginning of
the trial, January %, the leading news
papers of New York city have devoted
more than 5000 columns to the case.
The estimated number of words ranges
between 100000 and 100000. Placed
end to end the columns would stretch
over one and three-fourths statute
miles. The columns of space devoted
to accounts Of the trial by the daily
press of the entire country, if the COL
umns were placed end to end, would
form band of paper long enough to
stretch from New York city beyond

1t is believed that the entire cost ct
the trial for both sides will total near
~ $1,250,OOO.
A half million dollars is placed as
the minimum figure for the cost of
counsel to the defense. Added to this
the cost of expert testimony, the hotel
accommodations for witnesses and a
hundred and one incidentals that have
to be paid for at eXtravagant rates, the
result will be that the Thaw fortune
must be depleted to the extent of at
least $1,Oco,0OC before the case is end
ed. Future developments may run the
amount up to much higher figure.
The cost to the state also will be
very heavy The salaries of the pre-
siding judge and of the district attor-
ney. exclusive of the latter's assist
ants, amount to $4,000 since the COM
mencement of the trial.
When the trial is concluded there
will be a bill of several thousand dol
lars for stenographers' services.
The cost of talesmen at SO a day will
exceed $500.
The hotel accommodations will
amount to not less than $4,000.
Cost OF bailiff and guards, $4,000.

New York during the entire period OF
the trial runs into the thousands, while
for the country at large the total can

as did the war between the United

The space devoted to the case by the.

jackson. Miss, Mar. 12.-About 200
lumbermen are in attendance at the
semi-annual convention OF the Miss
issippi-Louisiana Retail Lumber Deal
ers' association, which opened today
and will last through tomorrow. Gov
ernor Vardaman and Mayor Wharton
welcomed the delegates. The sessions
will be executive in character, owing
to the action of the last legislature
in appointing a joint committee to
investigate the alleged lumber trust,
although the inquiry did not prove that
a conspiracy to regulate prices of lum-
Der had been entered into by the men,
bers of the association. Since that
time many changes have been made in
the constitution of the association, one
of which prohibits manufacturers and
wholesalers from becoming members.
Several prominent lumbermen from
other states are here and will deliver
addresses. The usual concatenation of
Hoo-Hoos will be held in connection
with the meeting. The annual ban
quet will be held tomorrow evening at
the Lawrence house. Secretary w. C.
Harlow, of Yazoo City, reports that
great gain in the membership has been
made since the last meeting and that

A week ago eggs were quoted from

Tuesday there was drop and the
price has steadily decreased. Dealers
say there will be plenty OF eggs for
Easter, and that perhaps they will go
down still further.
1t is estimated that local dealers, by
reason of the rapid slump in prices,
suffered losses of hundreds of dollars
Many of the eggs that were offered
at low prices today were bought by
some dealers last week at "a cents a
