CLEANS UP
A Million And A Half Does
George A. BeatOn
In A Big Deal In The City Of
New York
The Money Was Made In Al
Big Cement Deal
Fortune Obtained By Former
MI. Vernon Man
In One Big Transaction In
In The East

Roach's Financial Facts, published
in New York City has the following
concerning Mr.. George A. Beaton,
formerly of this city:
George A. Beaton, who used to be
ex-Eenator Joseph B. Foraker's secre-
tary, came here from Ohio a dozen
years ago with not very much capital
but with rare fertile genius for cor
porations and finance and the ability
to sell securities of companies whose
chief assets at the outset consisted of
the golden future predicted for them
by Mr.. Beaton. Some of his COM
panies made good and others didn't.
Judge Ward in the United States
Circuit Court today will wrestle with
the tangled affairs of the Seaboard
Portland Cement company, one of the
rarest corporation products of Mr..
Beaton's genius and whose ultimate
fate is deadly serious to some 800
investors, most of them persons of
very modest means, who paid S1,S1S,-
600 for bonds of that company.
Mr.. Beaton, to boost along an enter
prise, has his offices at No. 1 Madison
avenue on the third floor of the Metro
poiitan Life Building.
The Seaboard Portland Cement
Company has been fathered and moth
cred by a brood Of other corporations
hu Mr. tN =
going. These corporations were pyra-
mided in a bewildering way.
Every time the Seaboard came to a
halt Mr.. Beaton would organize anoth-
er corporation which promised to do
the most wonderful things for the ce-
ment company. These promises kept
the Seaboard alive and enabled the
sale of bonds to go on.
The Seaboard Company was organ
ized in 1907 with capital of $5,000,-
900 in stock and $2,0OO,OOO in bonds.
1t had no buildings, machinery or ce-
Matchmaking plant. All of these
things and many more were to be
built or bought with the money that
came from the sale of the bonds.
This balance stands as first mort
gage claim against the property, not
withstanding that $1,S1S,O00 has been
paid in for the company's bonds. Not
only has the $S7,5OO mortgage gone
unpaid, but the interest on it is over
due and the mortgagor is entitled to
bring foreclosure proceedings.
Just what happened to the $1,81S,-
900 after it left the hands of the
buyers of the bonds is not clear Some
of it went for the erection of frag-
ment of the gerat plant which was
to grace the west bank of the Hud-
son and turn out 5000 barrels of ce-
ment day and deliver it in New
York City at lower cost than other
concerns.
1t is figured that about 25 per cent. |
of the S1,S1S,O0O went for commits
sions, which cut down the net amount
available for the company $685. 900. |
What happened to the $547,00O differ
ence between 1866, 900 and the $685.

CARRIED STEPS WITH HER
Stately old Gotham Lady Preserves
Dignity Despite oId-Fashioned
Trolley Cars.

New York.--There is certain state
ly old lady who doesn't let the high
steps of the old-fashioned open trolley
car disturb her. When she boarded a
car in an outlying section. where the
old-fashioned type prevails, the other
passengers noticed that she carried
light rattan and cane footstool. pos
sibly six inches long.
Its use became clear as the old
lady reached her destination. She
signalled the conductor, and with a
gracious smile, held out the stool. The
man took the hint, and placed 1t 50
that she dismounted with dignity.
Then she thanked the conductor.
What would happen If he should
chance to have been surly or disoblig-
ing isn't clear, but probably very few
car conductors would want to make
such a dignified old lady do the high
lump along with the other passeng RS,

Clean Up!

If the airship really becomes prsc-
deal, everyday means of travel ii win
revolutionize our life as greatly as did
the railroad seventy five years ago II
will abolish fixed roTtes of travel, and
make every atom of air a public high
way. Like the wind, we will wander
where we list.
We will often enter our houses from
on top. At least part of the roofs Of
new buildings we build ought to be
fat, in anticipation of the new manner
of receiving callers. Roof gardens
will probably be common to all pre-
tentious houses, and we will work
hard to make our roof door and roof
stairs handsome.
Our back yards will be as plainly ~
view as our front lawns; our kitchen
porches as visible to visitors as our
verandas; our stables and sheds a.
evident as our gates; our alleys as
public as our streets. Shall We Oe
able to look down from airships upon
a cluttered-up back door, ramshaekle
outbuildings, uncovered garbage, ash
and tin can receptacles, or waste scat
tered about because there are no re-
ceptacles at all?
From our heights in the free air the
ugly backyard fences that divide WnaI
might be a parklike garden into mar
row, and barren back yards will seem
pitiably petty.

cry, Makes Remarkable Dis
covery in Philippines.

San Francisco.-Cancer, the disease
which has baffled medical science for
over hrndred years. may be con.
quered at last. DR.. P. K. Gilman of
Oakland, professor of surgery in the
Philippine medical schools and sur.
geon in chief of the Philippine general
hospital at Manila, believes he has
discovered a vaccine which will stop
the rayages of the dreaded disease.
With this vaccine DR.. Gilman has
cured 20 cases of cancer in Manila.
In his laboratories there he has been
working for three years on his discov-
cry, and is now ready to give to the
world the fruit of his labor. He has
prepared an article for publication in
the Journal of Science. a medical and
scientific review published by the Blu,
reau of Science of the United States.
in which TIE details of the cure will
be made public for the first time.
DR.. Gilman has been asked to dem.
onstrate his discovery before the
Royal California Institute at Havana.
He has been in communication with
DR., Simon Flexner, director of the
Rockefeller Institute in New York
city, which was established for the
study and cure of cancer, and DR..
Flexner is greatly interested In the
discovery. He has written DR.. Gilman
for details, Or. Gilman says that his

GIVE HEN PLENTY OF SPACE
Most Of Trouble Experienced by Be-
aInners Is That They cramP
Fowls In Close Quarters.

How often we hear of some one who
has a large number OF chickens com.
planning OF getting only few eggs
each day. Again we learn OF others
having only few hens who get near
ly as many eggs each day as they
have fowls. This ia the rule rather
than the exception
The secret of the trouble is over
crowdIng In houses and yards. TOO
many animals living together IN
limited space will not thrive. The
house, grounds and atmosphere be-
come filled with their exeretion and
civilizations. When one becomes ill
large part or all Of them become
III. and conditions are such that low
production or fatal results soon fol-
low.
The beginner. and many old timers,
make the grave mistake Of giving
their poultry too little room. Simply
because large number Of chickens
will crowd into a house or coop they
allow them to roost in a crowded con
dition, They economize In space and
lose in development of young stock
and In egg production Of old stock.
They are among the number that de-
clare that there Is no profit In poultry.
The Plymouth Rock breed, while OF
hardy variety. are inclined to fight
when crowded too closely. Ample
roosting space and plenty OF nests
should be provided II best results are
desired from them.
While roostlng during the Nesting
period at night, poultry needs an
abundance OF fresh air TO breathe. The
average poultry house is poorly sup
piled with windows and other means
OF proper ventilation. The birds on
the roost breathe the same air.
