] New Haven, Nov. 2I-The New Ha- ven Gas Light company, has voted to reduce the cost of gas to consumers in this city from BIOS a 1000 feet to s1, 1 which with the regular 10 per cent dis count will give this city gas for 9o cents 1000 feet. The new price
 goes into effect January 1, 1913, but will not apply upon gas consumed in December, 1912.
 This reduction in the price of gas will result in saving to the consunn- , CTS of the product of from $60000 to $70,O0G. The apparent loss to the company will be made up, it is figured by J. Arnold Noreross, secretary and creased business of the corporation It has grown handsomely during the
 past year, and the directors feel that the consumption will be increased many fold during the next year. In the past fifteen years the company has
 practically rebuilt the gas making
 plant and the various economical pro-
 cesses used for the manufacture Of
 the product, make it possible to give
 the public greater advantage in price.
 New Haven now has gas as cheap as
 Hartford. and as low as any place in the State.

 made, voted to increase the capital stock by an issue of 20, 600 new shares of the par. value of $500, 900. This will
 bring the capitalization of the com panys from $4, 5O0. O00 to $5,0OO, OOO, the limit of capitalization.
 The stock will be payable in install ments of 9 per cent. each on Febru- ary 1. 1913; July 1, 1913; January l. 1914, and JHly1 . 1914. when the new stock will be issued to participate in the dividend payable September 90, 1914.

 Immediately upon the passage of the vote for the new stock the company closed it's books for the protection of it's stockholders.

TO WRECK THE PARTY
ROoseyeIt's Campaign as Seen by the
Taft Bureau.

Washington, April ia statement
in part as follows, issued from the ma
tional Taft bureau after a visit to the
White House by officials of the presi-
dents campaign headquarters:
Former President Theodore Roose-
welt, in his campaign for renomina-
ton for a third term in the White
House, is conducting an organized
propaganda to wreck the Republican
party. No word or deed has up to
this time been too mendacious or too
mean, either on his own part or in
part of his under-StrapperS, to accom-
plish the recognized end they have in
view.
Mr.. Roosevelt himself has denounced
by name the Republican leaders in
New York state who now oppose him
for a third term, regardless of the fact
that he accepted to the full their sup
port for governor and Tor vice president
and president of@the United States.
I'm contrast, the conduct of Presi
dent Taft and his supporters says the
statement, stands forth as a sincere
endeavor to maintain the Republican
party not only In ACCORDANCE with its
principles and tenets but as militant
political organization which wins VIC
tories at the polls.
The d. liberate, reckless and men
dacious campaign of Theodore ,Roose-
welt for the wrecking of the Repub
lican party, is called to the attention
of the country in order that the issues
hereafter may not be misunderstood"
Colonel Roosevelt's Nebraska-Kansa
trip which begins from New York, is
to be extended to Arkansas and NORTH
Carolina. 1t was announced today by
Senator Dixon at the Roosevelt head
quarters here, that the western tour
will end at Little Rock, Ark, Satur-
day night and that Colonel Roosevelt
will then return by the southern route,
speaking at Greenboro, N. c., Mon
day.

turned to the United States in the
hope and expectation that if the gov
eminent of Spain is willing to sponsor
the securities represented by bond
and mortgage upon this railroad, and
to grant subsidies which of them
selves will amply protect the bonds,
then the money can be obtained upon
those bonds in the United States.
There is no better technical au-
thority in the United States upon the
history of securities of this kind or
who better understands the various
forms which modern bond issues have
taken than Mr.. McRoberts Pre-
sumably, if he completes the expected
negotiations with Spain and with the
private corporation chartered by
Spain to construct this railroad Mr..
McRoberts will represent a syndicate
of which the great bank of which he
is vice president is to be a leading
member, which will underwrite thess
bonds-in other words, furnish the
money needed for the construction of
this railway.
AS a work of expert modern financ-
ing, the transa ction, if completed, will
be sure to gain the earnest attention
of the great financiers of the money
markets of Europe. They will be inter-
eSted to know exactly the details of
the financing; whether, for instance,
the bonds will be issued as France in
sists that securities marketed there
nominations. The great -fiuanciers
will also be interested to know wheth-
er the underwriting will offer all or
any of these securities to people of the
United States OF will seek the cooper
alton of French and English bankers
for the marketing of them.
An Important Point of View.
This undertaking will be the first
in which American capital is en-
barked for the purpose of construct
ing railroads anywhere else than in
the American hemisphere or in the.
Philippines. The proposition marks
the advent of the United States into
the world field of railway investment
American capital and American en-
gineers are in command of this enter
prise. The incident also serves again
to demonstrate the paramount posi-
paramount, at least
the United States now occu-a
pies as the money market of the
world. HOLLAND.
