SUGGEST REMEDY
FOR TREE FAMINE
Conservation Experts Say Only
Way to Relieve the Scarcity
of Lumber is by the Planting
of Trees.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 1S-Conser-
walton experts from all sections Of the
United States and a delegation from
Canada arrived here Monday to take
part in the meeting Of the fifth Ma
tiona1 Conservation congress which
begins Tuesday.
Several section meetings were held
Monday at which prelimina.y fea-
lures Of the congress were discussed.
The National Association of COnser-
walton commissioners was addressed
by Secy. Lane, who made a plea for
greater cooperation between the state
and federal authorities.
The secretary declared that the
greatest obstacle in the preparation Of
an adequate conservation policy was
the conflict between those who believ-
ed in state rights. This conflict he
said, was responsible for the difficulty
the federal authorities experienced in
obtaining the cooperation Of states.
Now the government is not we'd

According TO Mahlon w Newton.

TUBE RUN AT Loss;
NO BOOST IN FARES
McAdoo Decides to Supply Def-
icit by Readjustment of /
Debt. "a

NEW YORK, Jan. william q.
iMcAdoo. president of the Hudson
and Manhattan Railroad Company,
has given out the following explana-
ton of why the company had found
1t necessary TO readjust its capitali-
cation:
THE proposed readjustment of the
debt of the Hudson and Manhattan
Railroad Company is made necessary
because the traffic of the system has
not developed with sufficient rapidity
to meet the fixed charges for taxation,
interest on bonds and other require
ments. The burden of taxation has
become exceedingly heavy, amount
ing for the last year to $500, 459 While
the business has shown steady growth
1t has not been enough.
almost the entire Hudson tunnel
system Is below water level. This
made the cost of the work exceeding
ly heavy, and also compelled the
construction of a system of much
greater capacity than present needs,
In order that the future might be
cared for, because it is not possible
to enlarge such tunnels after they
have been built.
1.-THE total capacity of the Hudson
tunnels is something like 20O.0o0.000
passengers a year, whereas the pres
ent business is about 60,O00,00O pass
engers a year. Hence, a large part
of the investment must be carried as
dead capital until the traffic grows
up to It.
1--WE. therefore, are confronted with
the necessity of doing one of two
things First, to again increase the
fares, or, second to readjust the
bonded debt SO as to reduce the fixed
charges and put the company's credit
on a solid foundation.
I'VE have decided not TO ask the
public to assume the burden of am
other increase in rates. Aside from
the load that this would put on our
patrons it might tend to arrest the
development of New Jersey and to
check the growth of business Look
ing at the matter broadly, and taking
into consideration the future OF New
Jersey and of this company, we have
decided against increasing rates.
"A large majority of our bond
holders believe the proposed readjust-
ment of the debt is the best solution
of the problem. Under the plan one
half of the debt is converted into new
income bonds. Holders will receive
for their present AZ per cent. bonds
so per cent. of new first mortgage
per cent. bonds and so per cent. OF
new income 5 per cent. bonds. The
effect will be to temporarily reduce
the interest on their investment to
35s per cent. but, after a few years,
this will be more than compensated
for by an increase from ~ per cent.
on the old bonds to per cent. on the
new.
stockholders are permitted to par
ticipate in the plan on very liberal
terms" 4

Few people realize the extent of
this great Fair. Those who know the
details say that it will surpass in near
" every way the Industrial Show which
was held last year in the Armory.
There will be dor ms of lines of
goods made on the floor in full view of
everyone, and there will be dozens upon
dozens of interesting demonstrations
and exhibits.
You will be surprised to know how
many lines are manufactured in the
great INDUSTRIAL CITY, and you will
be interested in seeing HOW they are
made.
