MAINE CENTRAL
UNDER INQUIRY
It's Capital Increased $19,-
100000 Under Mellen's
Rule
WHERE THE
MONEY WENT
Vice-President Hobbs of the
Railroad Is Cross
Examined

Boston, April 24.--By the cross-cX-
animation OF George S. Hobbs, second
vice president and comptroller OF the
Maine Central railroad, Louis d. Bran
deis. counsel for the Boston Fruit &
Produce Exchange, brought out to-day
that the Maine Central had increased
It's capital Indebtedness by more than
SO 100000 since July /, 1911, when
Charles S. Mellen took control of the
finances OF the road The disclosure was
made at the hearing OF the federal build
ing which Interstate Commerce Com
missioner Prouty is holding into the
railroad situation in New England.
Mr.. Hobbs took the stand at the open
ing of the hearing. He was first ques-
toned by Mr.. Prouty on the finances OF
the Maine Central and testified to the
increase in capital stock which was
sold at par to the stockholders. Asked
what he had done with this money he
said that among other things, 81 ,2l7l00
was paid for the Kicker hotel property;
for real estate at Bar Harbor, about
Sl65,000; for the abolition of grade
crossings, $4,000, and $4,000 for repair
shops. He said that S4,500y000 Portland
Terminal company bonds We're sold to
j. p. Morgan & Co., at IS since last
July.
Mr.. Hobbs aid that $4,0000O0 had been
expended for Portland Terminal com
pany bonds, the company being owners
of the union station at Portland and adj
Joining property. The Maine Central, he
said, owned the entire issue of Sl,000.ou0
of the stock OF the Portland Terminal
company.
OF this stock S250,000 had been bought
from the Boston & Maine at l20 and the
balance from another source at par, The
Portland Terminal company pays per
cent. on its stock, the revenue being de-
rived from the rental Of the station TO
the roads which use it and the operation
Of repair shop and coal discharging
slant.
Commissioner Prouty asked: "On what /
theory did you pay the Boston & Maine
100 for the stock in the Portland Ter I
ninal company"
"We thought it good investment"

was the reply. As for the Maine Central
equipment the witness said he considered
II fair and that there was Sl,0OO,00O
worth Of equipment contracted Tor al
present
William j, Hobbs OF the Boston x
Maine road was examined by Mr.. Prouty
in regard to the relation of the Boston x
Maine to the Hampton Railroad, now
under construction between Pondsville
and Springfield, 1t was brought out that
the new road will be not more than ILL.,
teen miles long and will, it is expected,
be completed on January next. II will
have no terminals and will parallel the
Athol branch of the Bottom * Albany
road between those two points.
1t il estimated that the cost OF the
short line will be about S4000,000, The
Boston q Maine has entered into a con-
tract with the Hampden Railroad COM
pany TO lease the line agreeing to guar
antee the interest on the bonds and pay
3 per cent. on outstanding capital stock.
In explanation Of the big cost OF new
road, Mr.. Hobbs said he understood that
the contraction company had found 1t
necessary to make extensive cuttings
through ledge that was not discovered
at first Commissioner Prouty then re-
marked; Apparently some parts Of this
short line will cost almost as much per
mile as the Culebra cut on the lsthmus
Of Panama"
Why has the Boston & Maine taken
on this expensive piece OF property" ne
asked.
The purpose was TO enable the Bos-
ton & Maine to have direct line from
the North station to New York by way
OF the central division of the B. 4 NJ.
and then over the New Haven line from
Springfield" answered Mr.. Hobbs.
Why couldn't the b. & NJ do that by
using the Boston & Albany tracks from
to Springfield" persisted
Prouty.
Because" said Mr.. Hobbs, "the B. &
NJ has no agreement with the Boston &
Albany
Mo- replied Mr.. Prouty, "but the
New Haven has, and it owns the Boston
K Maine, and that comes pretty near
giving the Boston q Maine the right TO
rise the Boston & Albany tracks in this
section"
Mr., Hobbs made no reply to this re-
ponder Mr.. Prouty further remarked
"The Hampden railroad is apparently

De its rental cost to the b. & Nj"
ut viii cost the b. & NJ. $4,000 a
year rental per mile" said Mr.. Hobbs.

which the Boston & Maine would get as |

prevalent among the people OF Central
America is that OF parting for one year
after the marriage ceremony has been
solemnlzed. This custom has prevailed

be carried on between the parties prior
TO the wedding. When man selects

parents on both sides, and IL this IS
