NEWS OF WALL STREET
Pennsylvania Lines Report 100000 Earning
Decrease Made by Curtailment Into
Net Gain of 81, zoo, 900.

New York, June 1.-Probably the sharp
rise in prices in the stock market to-day
was due. just as was yesterdays do
cline, to speculative operations. The
course of events to-day certainly justi-
fed the statement that the fairly large
number Of speculators for the fall. who
sold stocks freely yesterday, knowing full
well that they had found the market in
IN overbought condition, and inclined .tu
regard as disappointing the character
Sf the Supreme Court decision in the
American Tobacco case. had for their own
part grossly misjudged the change that
has come over the financial situation
last month and the resistance that the
stock market now presents to merely
speculative efforts to depress it.
1t was very apparent, too, that reflection
over night regarding the true character
of the Supreme Court decision brought
a. good many shrewd market Judges to
the conclusion that the act of the Su-
preme Court, instead Of providing cause
for disappointment, was really the most
encouraging and gratifying development
from a broad financial point Of view
that could possibly have happened.
Wall street found its views at variance
with those Of the Wall street of COM
mon sense, conservatism, and real sagac-
ity. OF course. the normal desire to
retire contracts for the fall, which was
prompted by considerations of this na-
ture was strongly assisted by the news
announced just before the close of busi-
ness yesterday afternoon and told in full
detail IN the morning newspapers Of the
Great Northern Railway Company's $780,
D0C coo bond issue.
1t is well understood that a small pro-
portion of these bonds is to be sold at
once and that the issue merely COM
prises a plan making provision for years
to come for the Great Northern financing
and refunding arrangements.
1t is also clear that the matter In which
Wall street is most deeply interested Is
that of the execution Of the long-talked
OF project Of the purchase by the Great
Northern of the Northern Pacific interest
in the Burlington and the transfer thus
of complete ownership Of the Burlington
to the Great Northern is not at all near
at hand.
Before this could take place the present
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy joint Is,
by means of which the Great Northern
and Northern Pacific interests now mu-
tually control the Burlington, would have
to be made out of the way. This can
only be done by paying off the bonds at
their maturity in the year 1872, or hy
redeeming the bonds at 1O5 on any July
1st or January LIST interest day, after
due notice is given. AS it is too late now
to give the required notice of this trans
action for use in the present year. IT
would seem as If the earliest late the
transfer of the Burlington to the Crest
Northern could take place would be jan
uary ! next
The Pennsylvania lines reported to-day
decrease of slightly less than 5000 600
The Washington herald., 1911-06-02

in gross earnings for April. which was in
and OF itself a much better exhibit than
the road has lately been making. But
the curtailment in the Pennsylvania oper-
ating expenses was such that this gross
decrease Of 100000 was changed into a
net gain of $1,z70.000.
For April also the Northern Pacific s
gross decrease Of $l,170000 appeared In
net as a decrease OF only $E.500. while the
New York CentraPs gross actually In
creased $626,oo0 for April. of which $4,000
was saved in net.
Statements like the foregoing certainly
explain in no small degree the generally
better feeling that has lately exhibited
itself in the security market, and in par
tcular the stronger undertone in railway
stocks. .- 80
The average price OF the Standard Rail-
way shares closed this afternoon at the
highest figure OF the year.

been at least half the passengers down
with the disease. He did not wish to
blame the medical inspectors or A. ].
Campbell, the Hawaiian immigration
agent, IN any way for having missed
the symptoms. In the circumstances
all possible was done. A number of
those who wished to make the trip,
but had failed to pass the medical
test, were left at GIBRALTAR in desti-
tute circumstances These people
were homeless and penniless. They
had left their native towns some miles
away on the off chance of being taken
to Hawaii, or anywhere else that was
offering. But when they had failed to
be taken, they were in a pitiful state
owing to their lack of funds and their
inability to find employment. Mr..
Campbell advanced money to many
of these people to enable them to get
back to the places whence they came.
International Complications.
Sickness was not the only situation
that Captain Cox had to deal with.
He had to fight down the ignorance
and superstition of many, and open
rebellion against his orders. The
Spanish doctor was attacked by a Por-
tuguese armed with a heavy stick.
He had to be quietened. Some of the
parents refused to allow their children
to take the beef tea and the hot milk
that were supplied. One man had to
be cautioned by the captain for this
He was sent for but refused to obey
the summons, and eventually he was
taken before the captain. Captain
Cox reprimanded him, and pointed out
how serious was his refusal to allow
his children to be supplied with beef
tea 1t was necessary at one time to
appoint police to keep order. After
trial it was discovered that the Por-
tuguese and the Spaniards were use
less for this work, and the ships men
had to be put on duty.
Photographic Evidence.
Captain Cox did not ask his audi
tors to accept his word that the beds
had been aired, for instance. He pro-
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1911-12-13

duced bundle of photographs, one of
which showed the beds thrown across
the superstructure to be aired One
picture was of man who boosted that
he had not had a bath for thirty years.
Another showed one of the GROWERS
who complained that he never got a
square meal. He was depicted with
a plate OF soup in one hand and a big
biscuit in the other. The captain ex-
planned that there would not be a
cent of profit on the charter. He sug-
gested that the ship be inspected.
In Fine Condition.
The party then went over the vessel
with him. They came across Inspec-
tors Medeiros and Cameron measur-
ing and inspecting the ship in order to
submit a report to Collector Stack
able.
Everywhere the smell of sulphur
assailed the party, for the effects of
the fumigation had not worn off. All
considered that she was in fine shape
after so long a cruise with so many
people aboard. Those who had an op-
portunity to compare her with the con-
dition of the Orteric, say that the Viii
lesden was in much better condition
that the OTteric was. There was plen-
ty of lavatory accommodation, some
thing that was not known on the Or
teric at all. The toilet arrangements
were ample, and the ship did not seem
to be unduly crowded with hunks.
There were plenty of life preservers,
and Consul Canavarro testified to the
quality of the dried Goldfish, prunes
and biscuits, because he ate some with
evident relish.
The whole accommodation provided
was inspected, and pronounced to be
excellent. Captain Cox told DR.. Ra-
mus that the vessel was in much finer
shape while she was at sea- than she
was on the day of her arrival, owing
to the fact that his sweepers went on
strike on arrival, as they were anxious
to go ashore He said that everything
possible had been done throughout the
long journey to keep the vessel clean.
He and his men went among the pas
sengeTs in their endeavors to make
them observe sanitation rules and fol-
low the notices that we're posted up
around the ship.

M'MAHON TO Be
SENTENCED FRIDAY

John A. Mcmahon, convicted last
Monday night of voluntary man
slaughter for the killing of Alexander
n. Cederlof, will be sentenced next
Friday, according to present calcula-
tions. The court has adjourned to that
date, and it is expected that Judge
Clemens will then be ready TO impose
sentence.
There is considerable speculation az
to how stiff sentence will be handed
out to McMahon. The majority of the
guessers are figuring now that he viii
get about half the maximum penalty
that is, five years, or possibly less
Nobody seems to think that the maxi.
mum of ten years will be IMPOSED
However, that all lies with the judge.

Heavy Quarantine Expenses.

The owners are particularly unfor-
tunate in having to face a heavy quar'
antine bill. The average rate for sub.
sistence sof the passengers is about
$500 day This will continue for
twenty-one days, and will have to be
met by the shipping company The
steamer, it is calculated, will have to
pay out about 100000 for subsistence
while the immigrants are in quaran-
tine. This will more than eat up all
the profit that would have been made
from the charter had the vessel mere
ly landed her human freight and de-
parted for another port in search of
another cargo.
In addition to this expense, the fed
eral authorities ar paying about $175
a day above their ordinary daily rates
1t was freely asserted yesterday that
there would be no more British ships
available to bring immigrants to Ha-
wall. The Orteric was fined $1,000 for
infringements of the federal regula-
tons, and now the Willesden incurs a
heavy liability for quarantine upkeep.
Some Antique Firearms.
The customs inspectors took quite
number of firearms from the immi-
grants. Some of these were curios-
/ tiles, and were uptodate about fifty
years ago. One, for instance, was a
double barreled pistol. This was use
/ less in Hawaii, for it is pretty well
certain that the cartridges could NC
be obtained here. The barrels were
wobbly, and led one man to observe
that he would rather stand in front
of it when lit was discharged than be
hind it.
Captain Cox could not understand
why so many of the immigrants took
pieces of soap ashore with them. One
family had as many as ten pieces
weighing in all ten pounds.
The Willesden has been granted
pratique and she should leave some
time today for Tacoma, where she will
