two days In a train that was stalled sew

storms that swept the Middle West
The snow was heavy when the train

the engine three hours to travel the first
twelve miles from Cleveland, and then
the engine went dead.
II was a trying experience" said Miss
Ball last night. I'VE had no fire until
We got to Hudson. Then the engineer
bought small stove and built a fire In
the baggage car. He tore the seats from
coach and sat the women around the
fire.
"A day elapsed from the time we start

seventeen miles away. We had one meal,
consisting Of weak porridge, watery cof-
fee and bread. The memory I'll carry
longest is that Of cold feet"

accounts, and a surplus of s1,052, Sig.

Kieff, Nov. 1i.-A big Russion prison
van numbered up the road at $50 o'clock
this morning and stopped outside small
frame house two miles out of Kleff. Two
Russian soldiers unlocked the door Of
the van. A medium-sized. middle-aged
man, apparently in poor health. stepped
out
The noise Of the van caused stir
within the house. Several small races
were pressed against the window panes-
The door was flung open ana a woman
and five small children came forth with
outstretched arms. II was the reunion

two and a half years Of separation Wnile
the husband and father had experienced
ALI the horrors which a Russian prison
holds for a Jew. At the reunion husband
and wife wept for joy.
During the afternoon the house was
surrounded by the soldiers, there by oroer
of the government, because OF the Ihreats
of the Black Hundred that Beiliss would
be killed. There was also another reason
for the soldiers being on guard. Beiliss
Is not vet clear Of all danger, for the

that was that my suffering was the SUI

As to his future plans, Beiliss said that
he had not decided, except that he was
to leave Russia at the earliest
possible moment, in view OF the threats
of revenge which had been made against
him.

Drawing on Power Company.
While he would not afirm that the
railway company drew upon the earn
ings OF the Potomac Power Company in
declining its dividends, he implied that
such a course would be entirely proper,
as the power concern is owned by the
railway company. and, besides, he
claimed, the fact of ownership stands,
as the source of the roads electric

the railway as to make the merging OF
its expenses and earnings with those

priety of constituting as a depreciation

certificates OF this Indebtedness along
with other assets, he explained that
these bonds purchased in the open mar
ket could be reconverted at any time
before maturing into cash, and so, in
effect were The same as cash to the
fund. He stated that he saw no reason
why these bonds should not constitute
acceptable additions to the fund.
The oficial did not, however, touch
upon the question of whether the pur-
chase of its certificates of mortgage
and the holding OF them subject to re-
peated resale. did not amount to the
same thing rs the perpetuation Of the
company's debt. He insisted that as

After carefully tracing the develop

in recent years begun to pay a return.

Well, that's eleven, anyway, and
probably two or three more ought to
be added, either in place of some OF
those already accepted Professionally,
or to swell the total to an irreducible
minimum of, say. fifteen. We note
that there Is not one from the south
on the list, and we are looking to
our southern friends to make good
this omission in letters that will flood

rot merely a composite literary and

which we demur in advance. And the
