INVESTMENTS OF
 NEW HAVEN ROAD
Tend to Convert an Apparent Deficit
 Into Surplus.

Boston, April 3o.-The New York. New Haven and Hartford railroad through its attorney. c. F. Choate, Jr., began late today it's explanation of numerous financial transactions, al- ready described by David K. Brown. the government accountant, before Commissioner Prouty of the interstate commerce commission. This was done through cross examination of the ex- pert MT. Choates questions weTe fn- tended to show that comparisons of capitalization and earnings as given by MT. Brown in his direct exaxnfna- ton were unfair and that his test7- mony had in many tnstwDnBs not shoun actual conditions.
 In opening the railroads side of thm case MT. Choate brought out that, af- though the capital indebtedness of the New Haven company had increased from s94,00O, 900 in 1903 to $417, 900, ,0eo in 1912. the period covered by Mr. Browns investigations, 21b,OO0 shares of New Haven stock had been held bw the New England Navigation company. g. subsidiary. and that no cash dfvf-s dends had been paid on these hold ings. Eliminating these shares from consideration, the witness said that what appeared to be a deficit of $9oo. < 900 in 1o12 would be converted into an apparent surplus of ss26, 900.
 The roads oounsed referred fU fh@ fact that the New Haven had invested 10000, 900 in the Connecticut com pany, $14, 900 ,00o in the New York. On taria and Western, t27,0Oo, 900 in the Boston and Maine and held g21. .0d. .000 in treasury stock

Motion Pictures Ease.

Even the rmotest towns in Japan have their moving picture shows, and in large cities they seem to be nearly as plentiful as on this side of the Pa cific Tn Yokoma1na there is a whole street of them, and as the programme of each is endless and each picture is announced in huge symbols on a sep arate variegated banner flying from a
 tall bamboo pole the aspect of Theatre street is startling unique. The pict- ures illustrating the sensational points of the programme above the entrances and at their sides have a certain quaintness about them, which is ac- centuated by the fact that they are all originals, not mere stereotyped adevr- tisements printed in raw colors. The ''getas'' or wooden sandals of the spec tatore are deposited on a rack before the entrance to a moving picture show, for where other people take off their hats the Japanese leave their shoes

PRESIDENT SILENT.
Deems 1t Prudent Not to Discuss Sit
 uation at This Time.

Washington, April S0.-Inquiry at the White House today as to what might be President Wilson's attitude toward the Webb bill with its affirma- tive clause permitting "all aliens eligi- ble to citizenship to acquire land in California, on which California legis- lative leaders are now said to be agreed, brought the information that the president deemed 1t prudent not to discuss at this time the negotiations toward an adjustment of the contro- versy.
 The president let 1t be known that the entire subject was in a delicate status and that it was necessary fur ther to study the proposals of the California legislative leaders before the position of the national govern ment could be announced. It is be- lieved that the Japanese ambassador will be sounded out as to the probable reception of the Webb bill in Japan, and the legal officers of the state de- partment may render an opinion as to could be construed as discrimina- tion or conflict of treaty obliga- tons.
 There is no disposition at the White House to regard Secretary Bryan's mission as having been completed. MT. Bryan probably will stay on the ground until the whole matter is defi-
  probable that the president immedi- ately upon the return of Secretary Bryan will begin consideration of a general policy for the treatment of the important question of the extent to which the national government may or should go towards enforcing the treaty rights of aliens within the states. The negotiations with the Japanese gov ernment which are expected to follow the action in California probably will be the means of developing this policy
 The president may deem 1t advisable to undertake the negotiation of 8 new treaty of trade and commerce with Japan, and though 1t ie realized that agreement on suoh a convention. sat- isfyin@ to Japanese pride. yet pernla = nentiy guarding against Japanese invasion" would be fraught with great difficulty, some of the officials are inclined to the belief that the thing een be done

Washington, April 3O-Announce- ment of the Intention of Secretary Lane of the interior department to appoint Mrs. Annie c. Rogers, a leading suffragist, to be receiver of the public lana office at LeadviIle, Colo, because he believes that Money can be handled more safely by women than by men" brought the following hakter from q New York man to the maretary:
 5This notice of your appointment of SufragiSt Rogers has caused great surprise and your remarks about men.
 ''The women you know may be of such a type, also the men; but most of us meet women who throw away a. great deal of money on dry goods and fool hate such as inclosed pictures of them, and nag their husbands for their hard earned wages until we men are fast going to the criminal class to get money for their wives to sQuander.
 Please use your influence to give men work, and make women stay at home and keep it for the comfort of husband and children, so the homes will not be broken up and the chil- dren run wild and unruly.

How the coreans Talk,

A Corean convert committed to memory the Gospel of Matthew. When he was asked how he did it he replied: 'T had great difficulty in making the text stick, but one day l decided that as read it and tried to commit 1t by memory I should practise it verse by verse upon my neighbors, and found that as I practised it somehow it stuck"
 When a Corean wishes to know whether he should take his medicine before or after meals he says, Shall I put this medicine under my rice or on top of it?" A Corean Sabbath school secretary in his report instead of giving the average attendance gave the average absences. Such is an illustration of the difference between the Corean ways of thinking and speaking and ours.-Christian Intelli- gen cer.
