Off from December, 1911.

a capitalization Of A,34O524,717. according
to an estimate published by Dow, Jones
e. Co. yesterday. Dividends Of railroads.
industrials, electric railways and miscei-
laneous corporations and New York CITY
banks and trust companies fell on Sl'4oo'-
SOS, as compared with December OF last

the interest paid on the bonds OF these
companies and on the debt Of the govern
ment amounted to s50SS0,25l, as against
$45, S51, 1896 last December
The reason given for the decrease In
the dividends is that fewer companies are
declaring extra rates this year, though
the losses are partly Offset by the dis
bursements Of companies whose share
holders received nothing year ago. The
dividend disbursements are based on
capitalization OF $2,077. S91, III, according to
the figures given, and interest paid on
bonds totalling & ,262, 633 900. a grand total
OF $3.50. 524,17

dends to be paid by the railroads amount

They arc accustomed to conduct the
business very plausbly, with all kinds

signed by an apparently respectable por-
son.
Already several foreigners have arrived
here from time to time whom he police
have delivered from the Vaccinations OF
these gentry. but il has been ascertained
that more than 900 letters are in circuIa

There are doubtless many foreigners
engaged In directing the operations OF the

Chief RABBI QUITS;
CAUSES COMNQT|OV
Jews in Turkey Deeply Inter
ested in Recent Develop
ments Affecting Race.
BY FREDERICK WERNER.

Special Cable TO The Tribune,
BERLIN, March 9.--Considcrable ex-
citement prevails at the present moment
among the Jews In Turkey owing to the
unexpected resignation OF the chief rabbi
OF the Sephardio community, Hahn Ma
hum Eirendi. The occasion OF the resig-
nation WAS a dispute between tho chief
rabbi and the lay council. OF consistory
on tho question Of the formal extension
70 the AshlsanaZim. or Jews from eastern
Europe Of tho privileges enjoyed in Tur-
key by the Sephardim or Espanoio
JoWS,
The lay council had adopted scheme
by which the Ashgenazm were 10 be in
corporated in the SeDhardio community
certain autonomous rights. The chief
rabbi was strongly opposed TO This
scheme. and made it's adoption ground
for handing In his resignation.
Apparently the union between the Sc
phardi and AshgenaZi communities will
be carried into effect. and this union Will
period in which the Immigrant element
frOin Russia. Austria and Germany will
work in the jewish community In Tur-
key on an equal footing with the old es
to say. Spanish and German speaking
Jews VIII be welded together In one Or
garizaIion.
Seeing that religious communities are
regarded In Turkey as national organi-
zations. and the heads OF these commu-
mites, whether patriarch. exarch or chief
rabbi as the recognized chiefs OF their
respective nationalitis, 1t Is not surpr!s-
ing that the present conflict should have
aroused considerable emotion in the jew
ish community,
The main Importance OF the conflict
lies, however, is It's international bear
ing. The resignation Of the grand rabbi
has served TO revca! in Il very curious
manner the play OF International rival
rics among the Ottoman Jews. A power
fu Jewish organization. the Alliance
lsra elite Universelle. which has Its head
quarters In Paris. has for many years
past contributed large sums towards the
establishment and maintenance OF jew
ish schools IN Turkey. Recently COM
plants have been made against this
body on the ground that Il had assumed
an exclusively French character and was
devoting all IT'S energies to the promotion
OF French national interests IN tho east.

NN ADRlD, March 9.-Senor Canale-
lVl Jas and King Alfonso have re.
lated some interesting stories In connec-
tion with their recent visit to Seville
during the time of the flood, from
which they have Just returned. While
in the Inundated districts they visited
many families that were in need and
gave financial assistance TO those who
were unable to purchase food because
of the nigh prices occasioned by the
dcluge.
The premier told Of q boy of 16 who
saved the life of his aged grandfather
when the flood was at its crest by
swimming with him nearly n quarter
Of a mile TO safety. Just as the old
man was rescued the boy tainted from
exhaustion, and the waters of the flood
carried him away and drowned him
The old man was pennilcss and had
not eaten anything in two days when
Scnor Canaleias and the king found
him by visiting the house where he had
been carried by his son. They sped
their motor boat TO hospital, where he
was given medical attention and nour
shment barely in time to save his
life.
