NEW YORK EXPERT \
 REVIEWS SITUATION IN FINANCIAL WORLD
President Rea, of Pennsylvania Road May Retire Soon From Directorate of the New Ha- ven SyStem-Canadian-Paci- fife to Increase Stock.

CThe Barron Financial News Service }
 New York, Oct. s-In quarters usual 1y well posted on. New Haven affairs the impression Is growing that the re- cent retirement of Messrs. Rockefeller Brooa<er and Baker marked the adop- tion o4 a plan to reduce the roads di- rectorate. It is known that these three directors had been anxious to retire for some time before their res- ignations were presented, and now it is said that President Rea of the Pennsylvania system is planning sim liar action.
 It has been suggested that New Ha- ven does not need a larger directorate than the PennsylYania railroad, which has only 13 members elected by stock holders. The other four act practically ex-off1cfo. It is understood that men in the New Haven board regarded as Pennsylvania representatives are sat- fsfied that the directorate can be re- duced without in any way affecting the roads, rehabilitation plans. Should Rresident Rea retire from the New Haven board it will not mean that the stockholding interest of the Pennsyl- vania will not be carefully guarded. T. Dewitt CuyleT. a Pennsylvania di- rector, will continue, it is understood, in the New Haven board, as he has a large personal interest in the latter.
 Stockholders of the Canadian Pacific railway have sanctioned an increase of common stock from $260, ,000, GOO to crease: '%This is a precautionary measure for the future, establishing the right to issue new capital when traffic has reached sucM proportions as to compel further large additions to property

AT THE PLAZA.

Count and the Maid,'' a condensed musical comedy Of ipretentious charac- ter with twelve people in the cast,
 made up for the most part of pretty Winsonae misses in dainty attractive costumes Of rich design and color, will headline the vaudeville program at the Plaza the latter half Of the week. There are girls galore, aR singers and dancers of note, and the numbers chosen for the piece are the most tune ful and catchy Of the latest popular hits with several original song mum bers written especially for tEe. act. The comedy end has not been over looked, for the cast contains two com edians whose efforts will keep you in convulsions of laughter. from the open ing chorus to the exit march. An enormous scenic fnvestiture of hand some settings and thorough atten- ton to detail evidenced in the number greatly enhance the beauty of the of 6er1ng.
 Lucky & lost have novel offering 1 that proves their worth as comedians as well as the fact that they possess I splendid voices.
 Here's something for you to think I about! The next number on the pro- gram is billed as DeLesso? and the question mark is what makes your. cu- rtosity heat to a. boiling point Yes! There is a, mystery connected with the act and mystery that will set all Bridgeport talking.
 Boyd & St. Clair dispensing a reper- toire of songs and dances with a, little well pointed hlrnor, and Annette Wal ker in a. novel musical act, conclude the vaudeville program The remainder of the bill is made up
 of 'eAn At Sea- a funny Keystone; 'eBiIl Goes Unto Business for Himself, '' ] and FgThe Long Feud,'' in two reels.

 This idea of the basic principle of true Americanism as found in that noble document does not, of course, agree with yours, but of that we ought not to be concerned in as much as 1t is not worth the while so long as you remain as you are more harmless than dangerous. As regards your question relative to refornatories and institutions where people are detained against their win without due process of law, I must admit that I am to- tally ignorant of any such institu- lions existing in this free country The only institutions to which I can pos sfbly imagine you referring are our jails and 1unatic asylunns, but admit tance to these institutions requires the due process of law to which you re- fer, but which it is said is not always carried out with due justice. hon estly believe that there are some peo- pie in the above referred to inst1tu- tfons; who ought to be out, and some who are out who ought to be in.
