Boston. Sept. 9. 1903


Boston-Business is decidedly on the
mend with the American Car &
Foundry Co., the dominant factor In
the car building industry of the coun-
try. During the past four months the
company has booked orders for up
wards of $35.000,000 of cars, which
is within hailins distance of the entire
gross output during all of the fiscal
year ended April 80 last and at rate
greater even than the high record year
CT 1aO7-S, when gross earnings totalled
slightly more than sl00,O00,000.
At the same time the company is not
as yet operating at full capacity, al
though there has been a very steady
increase in the volume of output since
the first of the year. At the present
the company has on its ray-rolls about
81, 900 men with 10000 men at the nigh
point just before the panic.
American Car & Foundry was able
all through the depression to show its
two per cent. common dividend fully
earned and this comparative stability
of earnings has won the company the
confidence Of many investors who have
in the past IS months become new
stockholders in the property.

TALK FOR WATERWAYS
Prominent Men Speak at Rivers and
Harbors conventions-Rond Issue is
Strongly Favored.

Washington, Dec. 9.-Words that
rang true to the cause of waterway i'm
provement, coming from speakers rep
resenting every section of the United
States, stirred enthusiasm in the rivers
and harbors congress today. That there
was no reason for delay in formulating
"a policy Of making effective for navi-
cation the water courses Of the nation
and that the only thing to be consid-
cred was project for national devel-
opment, was the consensus of opinion
among the delegates.
Advocates of greater opportunities
for commerce generally defended the
policy of creating a bond issue suf-
ficient to complete comprehensive
project of improved waterways, so that
once begun there would be no danger
of having the work stopped for lack of
available funds. Among those who
spoke were Secretary Nagle, of the de-
partment of commerce and labor; SEN
ator Burton, chairman of the national
Cameron, of the farmers national con-
gress; Representative Rodenberg, of IL
linois; Ex-Governor Benton McMil-
lin, Tennessee; Frank Gates Allen.
Pointing out that Improvement of
rivers and harbors was one that neith-
er private enterprise nor state appro-
priation could handle, Secretary Nagle
insisted the national government was
bound to improve the waterways. He
hoped that whatever is done be so COM
prehensive as to insure completion on
a proper scale any work undertaken.
Senator Burton defended congress
against the charge of niggardliness. In
fourteen years, he said, congress ap.-
propriated $3O0,000,000 for that pur-
pose.

would be glad to pay for help; how
Dunkle got John r. Bradley. Cooks
backer, to introduce him, how the SUBJ
ject delicately was led up to and the
bargain finally struck and carried out:
and how, at last, DIR. Cook disappeared
after accepting their work and paying
only 5000 for it.
Tell of Buying Nautical Works.
Both Captain Loose and Mr.. Dunkle
tell Of a visit to the shop of John Bliss
& Co., at 1913 Front street a few days
after the captains talk with the ex-
plorer at the Waldorf, and of purchas-
ing for Dr. Cook various nautical and
astronomical works, besides three
charts of Smith Sound and the polar
regions.
Robert Flight, who sold the books
and charts, told reporter of the
Times that ne recalled the visit and
that the purchases were made as de-
scribed. The charts he sold. Mr.. Flight
said, were numbered 26o. 274 and 275.
He knew Captain Loose intimately and
charts were bought, if he intended go
ing to the north pole.
And from what / have known OF
the captains experience as navigator
and his acquaintance with everything
pertaining to observations" said Mr..
Flight, II would bet that if any one
could find his way to the pole, Captain
Loose is that man."
Captain Tells of His Work.
Captain Loose In his statement says
he staid at the Gramatan hotel from
Noy 16 to Nov 10, working out obser-
vations for Or. Cook. and that he and
the doctor had frequent conferences
Mr.. Dunkle went with him on Nov 1t

A. L. Comstock, one of the desl
clerks, and another clerk named Kelly

the day Lewis arrived, because he
had asked for DIR. Cook and when told
that the doctor had not arrived be-
came angry, thinking they were trying

the railroad station, to go back to the
city, but was called back to the hote
and waited in a private room until DIR

Captain Loose tells the same Incl

the hotel, so as to run no chance O
i having the doctor found out. All tht
time he worked hard on the polar cal

they were completed.
Says Cook Expressed Gratitude.
On the last day of his stay at thu
