He says that the remainder was lost In

his stock market operations through the

entire course of his transactions with them
he could not have lost more than $4,000.
The grand jury will resume its inquiry

been issued for Frank NJ. Couden. the fed

BREAD TRUST TALK
Bakers Say 1t Would Lessen
Cost of Distribution.

According TO the representatives Of TIA
large bakeries in this city. the formation a,
a bakers combination Is not Imminent
though the bakers say that they would ba
glad TO have such a combination In exIxf-
ence. The bakers say that at the prevaffn1
prices Of bread and the prices OF the raw
material there is very small margin OF
profit. So much money has to be spent IN
market the product that the profit Is al
most entirely eaten up.
But II a combination were formed. th.v
say. distribution could be systema1ized and
a fair profit realized. The bakers say thar
a combination would noe mean an Increase
in the price OF bread. bst a saving IN the
cost Of distribution and in increase. OF
profits for the bakers by that means
IL was said yesterday In some auarte-.
that a committee had been formed 10 sound
the large bakers on the question OF a com
bination. but that little progress had so far
been made. Some Of the bakers were OF tho
opinion that the plan could not be success
fully carried out. They SAID that combina-
lions had been formed In Chicago and 81.
Louis. but they had been failures, and 4.
not believed that. one would be sue
cessfuI here.
The attempt at this time was a recrllae.-
cence. IL was said. Of the effort made two
years ago TO combine the bakers in N,
metropolitan district. AT that time thu
plan got so far along that the stock wa,
ready 10 put on the market. but the panic
came along and the bakers combination
went the way OF many other financial
schemes. In the present instance the re-
vival OF the plan has given rise to the re-
port that II Is intended to try 70 bring tina
bakers OF Philadelphia. Baltimore. Wash
ington and Pittsburg into the combination.
but this story Is discouraged by the bakers
OF this city They say that they fear such
a plan would find itself blocked by the fed
eraI laws.
The firms mentioned in yesterdays Tri5-
une as being likely TO enter the proposed
combination would form a practical mo-
nOpOly OF the Wholesale baking business in
the metropolitan district. it was said. Such
a combination would not put the small re-
tail bakers out OF business. but II would
mOnopOlize the wholesale distribution and
would be able 70 control both the wholesale
and retail prices Of bread. IL would BE-
possible for the combine TO raise the price
OF bread TO consumers. IL this were desired
and II might be deemed advisable.

GOING INTO LEHIGH
ID. e.. Reid and TzcO MoOrcs
To BE Directors.

ID. C. Reid, ex-Judge William H. Moore
and his son. E. S. Moore. it was officially
announced yesterday, would be elected d.
rectors OF the Lehigh Valley Railroad Com
pany at the annual meeting of the stock
holders to be held on January 49, Judge
Moore and Mr.. Reid. II was added. would
also become members of the executive and
finance committees of the road. IL was
not stated which of the present directors
would retire to make room for the three
new men on the board. but II Is believed
they will be three Pennsylvania directors
whose interests are not very large and
who have not been active In the manage
ment of the company.

and Reid would enter the Lehigh VAL
ley board did not cause surprise In Wal!

mon knowledge In financial circles thar
they have recently been buying heavily
into the road. The amount of their hold
irgs was not made public, but 1t was said
on good authority that IT was not suffi-
cient to give them control. Judge Moore
said that the purchase of Lehigh Valley
stock by himself and associates was purely
a personal investment and was In no way
connected with the Rock Island.
Rock Island interests have been buying
into the Lehigh Valley. which found OFF,
cial confirmation yesterday. IL has been
rumored that the same interests have been
heavy buyers OF Wabash stock and that
they are planning a system which would
give the Rock Island an outlet to the
Atlantic seaboard through the control OF
these two roads No confirmation OF this
report could be obtained yesterday. but
II was the general opinion in Wall Street
that some such outcome would result
from the entrance of the Moores and Mr..
Reid into the Lehigh Valley.
Even II control of the Wabash was not
obtained. il was pointed out that the
entrance of the Rock Island interests in
TO such an important trunk line the
Lehigh Valley placed them in a very adj
vantageous position to treat for trackage
rights and traffic agreements east OF Chi

LEGAL STATUS OF WOMAN.
Occupies the Day at H. G. Pierce Trial
in Texas.

Austin, Tex, Dec. 2.-The question of
woman and her legal status occupied prac-
ucally the entire time Of the court here to-
day in the trial of III. Clay Pierce for false
swearing. The question is whether a wom-
an acting as a notary has the right to adj
minister an oath
woman clerk in the service of the state
administered the oath To Mr.. Pierce when
ne swore that the Waters-Pi oil Com
pany was not In any way connected with
the standard Oil Company. The contention
now made by the defence is that this no.
'ary' belng woman, has no legal status
under the law of Texas, which recognizes
neither wOman's suffrage nor woman's legal
standing. and consequently Pierce has COM
mitted no crime in having her recognize
anything he said
