WITNESS TELLS HOW STOCK
PRICES WERE INFLATED
Controller For Illinois Central Raft
road Explains sycsem AZ inquiry
Into Rates.

CHICAGO, Sept. 20.-Stock infia-
tion and manipulation, designed TO
turn over TO stockholders large sums
OF money without putting In the COM
pany's record any evidence or more
than passing fair dividends. was the
subject delved into yesterday by the
Interstate commerce commission At
the continuation OF its hearing follow
ing the suspension OF the general ad-
vance OF freight rates OF western lines,
which had been scheduled TO take ell
feet Sept. l.
The stock manipulation feature OF
the inquiry, which aims TO bring out
what grounds the railroads have Tor
asking the increase. was suggested by
Commissioner Judson c. Clements.
Controller NJ. p. Blauvelt, OF the ILL
nois Central railroad, was the witness
from whom the startling disclosures
which followed were obtained.
Mr.. Clements called the witness at
tention TO figures he had furnished on
direct examination by the railroad
counsel, w. II. Horton. The commits
sioner said:
You say, Mr.. Blauvelt, that in 1891
your capital stock was $40.000,OO0 on
2,S75 miles OF road, and in 1910, on
only about 100 miles more, II was
y1e9 ,eoe, 0ee. Also, that in 1891 the
bonded Indebtedness was only $S2,.

commissioner. WAS 1t on the open

Then the upshot OF II was your

was the next query.
Mr. Blauvelt was unwilling such ar
impression should prevail, he said, and
he explained by saying:

THE POET McGIRT.
A Remarkable Negro, the Son
of Robson County Slave.
Wilmington Star.

Wilmington Star.
There came into this office yes
terday a remarkable negro, the
son of a Robson county slave,
bearing today in honor the name
of his fathers ''Ole Marster.
He was James E. McGirt, once
plckanlnny, now man of letters.
McGlrt is a poet-not a colored
poet, for poets have no race, as
musicians are said to have no
sex. McGirt, the man, is a ne
gro neither proud nor ashamed of
the fact. McGirt, the poet, is
a poet!
This North Carolinian was born
in Robson county, and went to
Greensboro, where he studied at
Bennett College. His parents
had the African jingle in their
veins. They translated it be-
times into jingles of their own.
McGirt inherited and improved.
A subtle poetry of birth he put
to use in the poetry of today, in
the form of yesterday. He de-
veloped the tinkle of bangles in
to the music of words. But,
with rare discernment he put his
music into the form of his race.
McGirt has been in a sense
''lucky"-in the sense o. oppor.
tunity. He found friends who
had both encouragement anc
money to offer him. He went tt
Philadelphia, and he made
good" He has written four vol
umes of poetry, and two of short
stories. It is real poetry. anc

about the work of a negro poet

the impractical abolitionist find
therein the work of real tai
ent-an equality beyond condi

strike the universal note. Tn

For all that, it is remarkabl

personally, say what you will
about his abilities otherwise
Through his talk runs strain Of
half humorous, half-pathetic
Renaissance of humble days.
And the beauty of it all is that
he so evidently enjoys the men,

The North has lauded McGirt.
It has sung his genius. bought
his poems, hailed him as what he
is not-an exponent of his race.
Intellectually, he is, on the other
hand, an exception. What the
North does not see-and what
the South can appreciates that.
barring his gift, he is typical of
his race. Poet McGirt's present
mission is to write of the South
ern negro for Northern maya
zines. We do not doubt. after a
casual interview, that he will dc
so wisely; that he will observe
with kindness. and with that
accuracy possible only to sympa-
thy with those of whom he writes.

with an alien eye the surface
McGirt, by reason of his peculiar
abilities, ought to be able to see
deep. And we know that he un
