STATE AMENDS CHARTER
Approving Order Signed by Cor

Public Notice OF Feast.

One of the biggest melon cuttings
in the history of corporations in V!r-
ginia is imminent The luscious fruit
in question contains meat to the value
of s1.250,000. and is to be distributed
without money and without price to
the stockholders of the New York,
Philadelphia and Norfolk Railroad
The facts became known YESTERDAY,
when an amendment to the charter
OF the railway was issued by the State
Corporation Commission increasing
the capital stock from s2,50o,0oO to sS-
$50. 900 This is a sheer raise of 80
per cent.
The new stock is to be given to the
shareholders of the company as stock
dividend. The argument is that for
wears much of the net earnings has
been devoted to expenditures for real
estate, for improvements and for ad-
ditions to motive power and to rolling
stock This money, 1t is said. has en-
ceeded Sl,25O,0O0. and as the eXpendi-
lures would have properly warranted
the Issuance OF additional capital stock,
II is but iust that the stock be now is
sued and given to the shareholders In
lieu Of the dividends which they have
been foregoing.
