FAvORs FEDERAL CONTROL
IS CAPITAL SAFEGUARD, SAYS
 GEORGE M. REYNOLDS.
Public Confidence Will Be Assured by Such a System, Declares Pres-
 dent of Biggest Bank.

Chicago, April 1S.--George M. Key holds, president of the Continental and Commercial National bank, says pub lie regulation of public service corpo. rations has come to stay.
 MT. Reynolds regards governmental supervision as inevitable and neces- sary. Conservatism would be fostered, he said, by the publicity necessary at. tending supervision of railroads and public utility corporations.
 Mir. Reynolds said There is nc doubt about the fact that capital has not always been handled conserva- lively and economically in the past. This must be remedied. The bank of which I am president has under it's control a quarter of billion dollars, and five times year must let the public know through its published statements just what it is doing.
 "The dovetailing of the state laws and the method of national supervi- cion into one harmounious, intelligent whole, is sure to come. The only question before us is the proper edu- cation of the American public up to the real needs of the situation.
 "Hysteria an soap-box oratory must be supplanted by intelligent reasoning When this is accomplished all the petty details of difference will be swept away and the hig utility cor porations will be properly and conserv- atively supervised and the day of pub licity in big corporations will be at hand"

JEFFERSON TEAM HAS KICK"
Objection is Made to Taylor Township
Team Being Awarded Prize.


John P. Donaldson. captain Of the
Jefferson township relay team. which
was ptted against a team from Taylor
township in half mile relay race run
at the county fair In September. takes
issue with the Taylor township team
and the Marshall County Fair Associa-
ton for having awal ded the medals.
which were the prizes offered. to the
Taylor township team.
According to Mr.. Donaldson In A
communication addressed to the Times
Republican, one Judge of the event de-
clared Taylor township to have Won;
another that Jefferson won. but the de-
cision Of the third was that the race
was dead heat.
He writes that on Oct. II he received
communication from George II.
Lewis, captain Of the Taylor township
team. challenging the Jefferson tenn
for second race to decide the tie, the
race to be run Oct IA. The challenge
was not accepted because Donaldson
says he did not receive notice from the
referee or Judges. who had been in
charge of the event, that the race
should be run over. He presumed that
the matter had been dropped until ne
learned that the fair management had
awarded the medals to the Taylor
township team. The Jefferson team.
thru Donaldson. claims to have been
treated unfairly in the matter and
blames the county fair managers
for it.

Ter, Dollars Starts
Fund Fos. the Poor

The fund to provide merry Christ
mas for the poor was started this
morning by tho contribution Of SO. II
came from q man who. like many 9TH
ers. was willing to give money to aid
those who are needy. but who lacked
the means OF reaching those whom ne
sought TO benefit. So he sent a check
to the Times Republican. and expressed
the preference that 1t be given to the
Salvation Army to buy Christmas gifts
for the needy. His wish will be carried
out, the check will reach the Salvation
Army in due time, and will buy sub
startial gifts for the poor.
Those who believe in q merry Christ
mas should remember that there are
homes In this city where Santa Claus
is not known and where want anu
hunger and cold are constant, unwel-
come companions. Gifts Of money will
make 1t possible for the Salvation Army
or the charities association to take to
these homes shoes. mittens. caps. cloth
ing, fuel, and food. Make. 1t possible
for others, besides the. members OF
your own family and your well-to-do
friends to have at least one real Merry
Christmas. The fund should grow rap

ANNUAL MEETING OF MANUFAc.
TURING CONCERN HELD
TUESDAY.
THE OLD OFFICERS AND
DIRECTORS REELECTED
In Addition TO 2 Per Cent Dividend on
. sPreferssd Stock, Paid Recently;
q Company Has Spent Immense Sum
For Home Labor-1usinsss Good and
Prospscts For New Year Bright.

At the annual meeting Of the stock
holders Of the Marshalltown Buggy
Company. held at the Office of
the company Tuesday evening, a
report Of the profits made In
the business during the past year was
read by President l.. NJ. Osborne, after
which the stockholders voted to re-
elect the former board Of directors
for the ensuing year. Immediately
following the stockholders meeting the
board Of directors met and reelected
the former officers OF the company.
L. NJ. Osborne was chosen president;
NV. A. futile, vice president: Ray r.
East, secretary. The other members OF
the board Of directors are B. w. SIN
clair, o. L. Ingledue. D. w. Norris. Jr..

Spends Much For Homo Labor.
The company had recently paid to its
preferred stockholders dividend of Z
per cent in cash. but it was announced
in the report of President Osborne that
the company had also paid out in labor
to wage workers In Marshalltown
during the past year alone. more than
the entire amount of capital invested
in the business, and that the amount
paid out to wage workers in Marshall
town during the past five or six years
had been as much as eight times the
amount of capital originally invested
by the Marshalltown stockholders
alone. This was cited to illustrate the
indirect benefits of a manufacturing
plant aside from the dividends which
it might pay to its stockholders.
Retail Business at Homo Good.
A prominent feature of President Os-
| borne's report, which seemed to please
the local stockholders, was the fact
| that the company's retail business in
Marshall county had multiplied In the
enormous proportions of seven times
its original volume when the present
company started in business. the past
year being the largest record for
retail sales which the company has
ever experienced.
Company Stronger Than Ever Before.

auditors report of the financial condi-
ton Of the company, that the Mar
shalltown Buggy Company is today
stronger financially than it has ever
been before. 1t has paid in full the:
amount 1t owed upon its machinery
and its sprinkler system and now owes
only a very small amount upon its
warehouse and factory building. Only

Lincoln Club Treats Governor
Wilson's Pet Measure With
Scathing Sc0rn.

The Geran election law will cause no
end of trouble in Essex county in the
opinion of members of the Lincoln
Club, of Roseville. who met last night
to discuss this latest innovation in
freak legislation. Scott German. presi-
dent Of the club, acted as speaker FOR
former Judge Benjamin f. Jones, of
South Orange, who was scheduled to
deliver an address, but who was un-
avoidably absent. Mr.. German told
of the workings of the new law. point
ing out its glazing defects.
II is feared that Governor Wilson
would have thought the members sadly
frivolous in discussing this matter 81
dear to his heart. Fred w. Shortman
indeed. placed its alleged sacredness
ruthlessly aside in his declaration thai
the authorities of Essex county should
be authorized to erect the necessary
buildings to conduct classes in voting
under the new law. Other remarks o.
a similarly complimentary nature were
INDUCED in. The misfit Legislation
found no champions.

SOCIETY WOMEN BRAVE
FIRE TO SAVE RELICS.
llake Frequent Trips to Blazing
Attic of Friend.

PLAINFIELD, May 5.-Miss Mar
guerite Mead, made temporarily home
less by a fire which licked up $4,000
worth of relics and furnishings in her
handsome home in Plainfeld yester-
day. is staying for the present at the
home of Mrs. Charles Hyde, mother
of Mrs. Everett Colby. of Llewellyn
Park, West Orange. 1t is expected
that she will occupy her home, which is
being repaired, within a few days.
The salvage of precious relics and
furnishings imported from Europe and
considered very rare by collectors was
due almost entirely to the courage and
quick wit of a number of Plainfield's
society women. The women were first
on the scene of the fire and lost no time
in forming an emergency salvage corps
Laden with articles of great value they
made trips from the blazing attic and
upper stories to the lawn before the
flames were quelled.
