SCHOONER GREELEY SAILS.
Goes to Newport News for Repairs
and to Load Ice.

The four-masted schooner. Gen. E. S.
Greeley. which has been at Alexandria
for several days discharging a cargo of
ice. sailed yesterday afternoon in tow of
the tug Camilla for the mouth of the
river, en- route to Newport News, where
she will be repaired and load coal for a
New England port. The Greeley, on hex
way down the coast from Boothbay
Me-, with ice encountered rough weather
and had her rudder broken and other
damage done. While at Alexandria the
rudder and such other repairs as could be
made by the crew were made and the
overhauling of her capstan. which was
broken, will be looked after at Newport
News.
1t is now stated that, in consequence of
a. heavy shortage in the southern fruit
crop, the number of vessels that will be
brought to Alexandria with ice will be
reduced. and that. instead of having eight
or ten cargoes to unload at the pier Of the
Mutual Ice Company. only four or five
will be needed 1t is not thought that any
natural ice will be brought to this city
from the northern ice fields in the coming
summer.

VERDICT FOR RAILROAD.
"Fellow.Servant" Clause in Law Pre-.
vents Recovery of Damages.

Justice Barnard in Circuit Court No .
has directed verdict in favor Of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company in
the suit to recover $4,000 damages filed
against the company by Benjamin F.
Vermillion. engineer Of the ill-fatad train,
No. Sc. which was wrecked at Terra
Gotta December 80. 1906. Vermillion was
injured in the accident.
Counsel for the company contended
that the wreck was caused by the failure
of the engineer of the train which
collided with train No. 66. to observe the
absence of proper signal at Takoma
station. They urged that the doctrine of
fellow-servant's responsibility controlled
the case and precluded the engineer from
recovering damages.
Justice Barnard agreed with this state
ment Of the law and directed the verdict
for the company.

CORPORATION PUBLICITY
JUGGLING PREVENTIVE
Vigilance of Stockholders Also
a Cure, Declares William
A. MearnS.

Publicity for corporations and vigilance
on the part of the individual stockholders
are the cure for stock Juggling and ques-
tionable corporations, according to Will
liam A. Mearns. former president of the
Washington Stock Exchange. and one of
the leaders in the local financial world.
Mr.. Mearns lectured before the local
chapter of the American Institute of
Banking last night at the headquarters,
1914 F street. His subject was stocks
and Bonds
The lecturer took occasion to severely
condemn certain industrial combina-
tons organized, he said, for the primary
purpose Of adding to the wealth of the
promoters, Irrespective of the rights OF
stockholders or the moral debt they owed
the community at large" Mr.. Mearns
spoke Of Gov. Woodrow Wilson's efforts
to bring about legislation that would COM
pei corporations to make public their
business dealings so far as they affected
the financial affairs OF the corporations.
He classed Gov. Wilson as an ideal
progressive.
Value of Stocks Easily Measured.
1.-The value Of stocks with established
dividend records can be easily measured"
said Mr.. Mearns, 1.-The yield and its ratio
to selling price being conservative form
of estimate. The corporations which ex-
hibit to shareholders at least once a year,
statement of their conditions, should
be given the preference in seeking in
vestment.
An honest confidence between a COM
pany and its shareholders is for the good
of both. The day is passing when the
shareholders, can ignore them for the bal
ance of the term. 1t is daily becoming
more difficult for the officers and drec-
tors of the corporation to override the
minority and divert the corporate oppor-
| tunity and prestige to personal gain.
Dishonesty and Bad Investments.
dishonest mana cement. the indiffer-
overproductiOn Of the dummy director
have done more to increase the precari-
BUSINESS of investments in this country
than all of the brokerage scandals of the
last fifty years. Against these defects
stand boldly for good corporate govern
ment, vote with clean hands for officers
with clean records, and the Department
of Justice will tear up all indictments and
establish a roll of honor"
Before the meeting adjourned tentative
plans were formed for holding the chap
terS annual picnic at Marshall Hall the
latter part of June. F'Orty-SiX candidates
for delegates to the convention to be held
in Rochester this summer were also nomi-
mated. The election will be held April %.
