SIEGEL DEPOSITORS WARY
Victims Berate Authorities for
Change of Venue.

Two hundred depositors of the failed
bank of Henry Siegel and Frank Nogel
met in Union Square yesterday for the
purpose Of collecting money to send
representatives to Genesee, Livingston
County, for the trial Of the bankers
next month. They said they were anX-
ious to see that the Judge and jury
are not bought up" The cottage. in
Union Square was adorned with plac-
cards, one Of which read: "Fifteen
thousand depositors robbed of 81 800
600. More than two hundred dead and
suicides. How many TO the poorhouse,
and if mediation, why not here?"
The greater part Of the afternoon
was taken up with speeches beratinc
the bankers, their attorneys and the
authorities for allowing change or
venue. A collection was taken up by
hats, resulting in the addition of $40 O8
to the fund for sending representatives,
to Genesee.
It was decided to hold a meeting on
Thursday evening at I o'clock in the
University Settlement to complete the
plans. 1t was proposed yesterday to
hold street meeting in front OF the
Hotel Majestic, where Sicgel lives, as a
demonstration against him. This was
nut over for a discussion at Thursday 9
meeting.

AM. LOCOMOTIVES
EARNINGS DROP
Decrease in Gross Was $24,S8O,-
7S6-Company Earned Only
1.3 Per Cent on Common.

The disposition of the railroads not
TO purchase new equipment while the
5 per cent Eastern rate case was pend
ing is forcibly reflected in the annual
report of the American Locomotive
Company for the fiscal year ended June
80, 1914, At the beginning of the year
there were untitled locomotive orders
on the company's books of S17,156,3SS,
as compared with only $4,162,356 at the
close of the year. The equivalent Of
new locomotive orders received during
the year was $l4,454,S3l, or only about
20 per cent of the company's capacity.
"As is usual in a period of extreme
depression" says the report, "prices Of
locomotives were seriously affected.
Such orders as were secured during the
year were taken at very small margin
of profit, in some cases at practically
cost, in an effort to keep the plants
running.
During the first half of the year the
plants operated at an average of about
81 per cent of their capacity. In the
last six months they operated at only
20 per cent of their capacity. Early in
the year the Rogers plant at Paterson,
n. j.. was shut down, as were also later
in the year the Pittsburgh and Man
chester plants"
The company's gross earnings last
year were $29,9S7,43S. a decrease Of
S24, Ss0,736. The profits available for
dividends, after a charge for deprecia-
ton of Sl,O49,316, were $2,O76,127, out
of which the z per cent dividend on the
preferred stock, amounting TO $780,
coo, was paid leaving balance OF
$500 1877, which is equal to 1.3 per cent
on S25 100000 common stock, as COM
pared with III per cent earned or the
same stock in the previous fiscal year
With reference to the company's an
nouncement on August 21, 1913, of its
retirement from the automobile bust
ness. the report says that all the assets
of this department have been liquidated
into cash, excepting the factory lands
and buildings at Providence, the Long
Island City Service Building and 4
small amount of tool equipment.

WIFE SUES PAINT MAKER
Mrs. John W. Masury Files
Separation Action.

John ". Masury, president of Joh1.
W. Masury & Son, paint manufacturerss.
was sued for separation yesterday
by Mrs. Leona Crawford Masury. Only.
the summons was fled in the Supreme
Court
The Masurys were married in 1905,
and have one daughter. Masury's at
torney has made an answer to the &C
ton, and it is a general denial of the
charges of his wife.
Masury is a member of the New 1orE
Yacht Club, the New York Athletic
Club, the Automobile Club OF America
and the Greenwich Country Club. Mrs.
Masury is living at 30 West 18th ST.
Apparently Mr.. and Mrs. Masury were
together as recently as July 2, for on
that day they and their daughter made
a trip to Long Island, which trip
brought forth an incident that caused
Mr.. Masury to sue the railroad com
pany for 100000 damages. The family
were directed to chairs in a Pullman
car by porter and subsequently were
elected by the conductor.

Committee Reports Snug
Cling Has Decreased
in Last Year.
HONOR PRINCIPLES
HELP IN REFORM
investigators Recommend That
Personnel of Guards
Be Raised.

Albany, Sept. 12.--The special COM
r.,ttee of the State Prison Commission
appointed to investigate the drug habit
IN penitentiarieS has made a report
stating that, while drugs, whiskey and
other contraband articles have been
sm uggled into the prisons in the past,
the practice has greatly decreased
within the last year, due to the inves-
legations, newspaper exposes and spe-
cial care exercised by officials. The
honor principle at Great Meadow
Prison and the Mutual Welfare League
at Auburn are both given credit for
creating a sentiment among prisoners
against the traffic. The report details
six methods by which the forbidden
articles are struggled.
Among the Recommendations are
that the personnel and character of
the guards be raised by oral examina-
tions, In addition to the written tests;
that guards detected in smuggling be
cGiminally prosecuted, and that any
officer dismissed for such cause be
never again reinstated; that visitors
be not allowed to come into personal
contact with prisoners, except, perhaps,
at Great Meadow, and that all visitors
BE- carefully watched while in the
prisons; that letters, printed matter
and washable goods be the only things
allowed to come TO prisoners from out
side, and that all other supplies be
purchased under the warden's supervi-
sion, from money earned by prison
ers; that all mail matter and packages
be examined by prison officials in a
private room; that all prisoners who
work outside be searched before com,
ing into the prisons again; that all
prisoners who are helpers and drivers
be accompanied by guards when out
side the prisons.
There are other recommendations,
and chief among these are that spe-
cial agent be connected with the oftice
or the Superintendent of Prisons IN
order to visit prisons and try to de-
lect smuggling: that prisoners be fire.
Gucntly inspected by the prison ply
s:cian and those suspected of drug
habits segregated and watched; that
the honor system be inaugurated IN
the prisons; that prisoners dc. more
work in schools and shops and such
work he stimulated by pay based upon
individual effort; that outdoor recre;,
alton and work be encouraged for good
conduct men.

CITY LOAN APART
FROM GOLD POOL
Bankers Surprised at Apparent
Misunderstanding of Re-
serve Board.

Bankers in this city expressed their
surprise yesterday that the Federal Re
serve Board should have so misunder-
stood, as they said, the recommends
tion of the Forgan committee for the
formation of a sl5O,OOO,O0O gold pool
as to suppose that it had anything 70
do with the matter of paying of New
York City's maturing revenue warrants.
Dispatches from Washington told Of
the decision Of the board not to do
anything about the gold pool until
something new developed, because its
organization might not be necessary.
With payment Of New York City's in
debtedness to Europe of SSO,O0O,000
taken care of, there was no need, said
the dispatches quoting members Of the
board, TO worry about the remaining
SIC, 000. 900 for a while. According to
bankers here, the New York City obll-
cations were altogether outside the
question of the gold pool.
Some doubt had been expressed mere
that if the gold pool plan were put in
operation it would be possible to raise
the whole $150,000,000. A considerable
amount of It would have to be secured
from banks in the West and Southwest
and il was a question whether they
would take a broad enough view of the
situation and consider the need as the
nations rather than New York's.
Discussing this matter yesterday,
one of the best known bankers in thu
city said that there was absolutely ne
