A s2O,OOO,OOO Concern

From Men wear
 The preliminary plans for the incorpor- alton of the business of Hart Schaffner & Marx with capital stock of s2O,OOO, 900 have been completed.
 MT. Joseph Schaffner, in an interview with representative of this publication, stated recently that the incorporation had been contemplated for some time past principally to secure for the thousands of retailers who carry the firms lines and who have spent their money advertising it's goods extensively, a perpetuation of their rights so that any unforeseen oc- currence that might exist In a copart- nership would not In any way jeopardize their interests. The precariousneSs of copartnership, with this situation con fronting the firm, MT. Schaffner explained, was one of the chief reasons for its n- corporation.
 MT. Schaffner added that no definite plan had been formulated for the dis position of stock to employees, but he ad- mitted that this was contemplated in or der to give those who have helped the firm make it's success a chance to par ticipate in it's earnings and to bring them closer together. Five million of the capital stock of the new corporation is preferred and the remainder common. It is stated that the stock for sale has been many times oversubscrlbed.
 
 900 Is retained by the firm. The bylaws of the proposed corporation provide that no dividend of the common stock shall be paid until $500O00 surplus has been accumulated, and no dividend of more than per cent shali be paid until a surplus of s1,000.0o0 Is provided.
 The preferred stock consists of per cent cumulative, with dividends payable quarterly. The stock will be listed on both the New York and the Chicago stock exchanges, and will be redeem able at $120 at the company's option at any dividend date. It is understood from outside sources that a statement of the earnings for the last five years shows dividends easily earned on both preferred and common stock. we'll as a substan- tial surplus. The preferred stock repre- sents the machinery stock and accounts receivable. The common stock repre- sents the good will of the business. The Hart Schaffner & Marx building is leased to the proposed corporation and is in no way a part of 1t.
 The Incorporation of the business will in no way change the management of the concern. Harry Hart, Max Hart and Joseph Schaffner members of the firm, are to be president vice president and secretary-treasurer, respectively, of the corporation. Marcus Marx will be one of the seven directors. The business of Hart. Schafner & Marx has been operated as a firm since It's in- ception in 1887. when 1t succeeded the firm of Hart, Apt & Marx. In 1909 the firm moved to its handsome thirteen story building at Monroe and Franklin streets, which, with the adjoining build ing of five stories. excepting the ground floor, covers half the city block It is generally conceded ii. volume of bus mess, that Hart.

DRIVING TICKS OUT
 OF MISSISSIPPI Farmers Are Cooperating and Quarantines Are
 Being Lifted

Jackson. Miss, May 12.-(special.)- Vats for dipping cattle to eradicate ticks are in successful operation in many of the counties of the state, and the great majority of farmers are satisfied the state and national government experts who have charge of the work know what they are doing. However, there have been isolated cases of insurrection which called for the use of the strong arm of the law-nothing like heavy fine hay ing been found to reduce such anarchists to submission. The dipping has been found to work like charm, and as dis trict after district is freed of ticks, quar- antines are lifted and the cattle dealers are rejoced.
 Recently a number of vats were erect ed in Holmes county, the home of the governor, and yesterday d citizen who is opposed to any kind of progress or what
 he terms tangled methods" :" report ed that the cattle were being killed by wholesale by the dipping. The experts were sent to the scene at once, and re- port that out of 1S,0O0 cattle dipped there have been but five deaths in the county, and these not traceable to the dipping It was also found that the vat com plained of chiefly was managed by the fellow who made the exaggerated report and that he had refused to obey the or ders of the commission having charge of the work.
 Thousands of these vats are now in op- eration over the state, and the ticks are being exterminated One hundred men who are expert in the bushes are em- poyed, most of them sent to the state by the national government.

OPERATE ON HELEN
 GOULD DEC|ES

London, May 12,-Lady Decies, who be- fore her marriage to Lord Decies was Miss Helen Vivian Gould, underwent an operation for apepndieitis this morning The surgery was done at the residence of her mother in-law, Dowager Lady Decies, and acording to subsequent an- nouncement the result was most satisfac- tory.
 It now appears that Lady Decies has been suffering from more or less severe attacks of appendicitis for some time, and among. intimate friends of the fam fly it had frequently been stated that she was about to submit to an operation.
 These statements were always denied. Only yesterday in reply to inquiries con- corning the condition of his wife, Lord Decies wrote that while she had ex- perienced some trouble from the cause reported, an operation was unnecessary.
 It is now explained that more acute attack occurred last evening and resort of surgery was suddenly decided upon.

FAMOUS WAR RELIC ID BE PRESERVED Old Engine 'sTexas" Will Be Moved to Grant
 Park

Atlanta, May -(special) l)-Prepara- tions are being made to move the old engine Texas a famous war relic, out to Grant park, where 1t will be put in or der and kept as memento of the civil strife
 Recent publications regarding the Texas and the manner in which it was being al- lowed to rust away in the yards of the Western and Atlantic railroad, have aroused interest in the matter, and stirred things to the point of action.
 The lessees of the Western and Atlantic first offered it to the state, and when the legislature made no provision for it's preservation 1t was offered to the city of Atlanta. That was more than year ago. and the rust has since been accommodating on it.
 Recent publications, however, stirred things up and the park board decided to remova>it out to the park and make pro- vision to preserve it. The removal from the Western and Atlantic yards to the park will probably take place this week. It will require the building of temporary tramway about half mile long to get 1t to-the point where 1t is to be stationed. A temporary shed will be put over 1t to protect it until such time as permanent arrangements can be made.
 It was the Texas that caught the General" after the latter had been cap tured at Big Shanty by the Andrews raiders, one of the most important and spectacular incidents of the entire war. The Texas was run backward in the chase and it had hard time of 1t in remov- ing Instructions from the track and catch ing up.
 The General is we'll preserved in the Western and Atlanta passenger depot in Chattanooga, while the Texas, which was used until a few years ago as a switch engine on little lumber road, has been allowed to go to pieces. Now both of them are to be taken care of.
