INTEREST ON RAIL
STOCK Goes DOWN
PENNSYLVANIA ROAD DECREASES
DIVIDEND BECAUSE OF RE-
DUCED EARNINGS.

Philadelphia, Pa, March 25.-The di.
rectors of the Pittsburgh, Cincinnati,
Chicago & st. Louis railway company,
the Pennsylvania lines west of Pitts
burgh, today reduced the dividend on
the common stock from I've per cent
a year to three per CO and on the
preferred stock from five per cent to
four.
In connection with the announce
ment President Rea of the Pennsyl.
vania said in part:
"The company paid it's regular five
per cent dividends on the preferred
and common stocks, aggregating $3,.
232,543, but in order to meet the same
had to utilize in large part it's sur.
plus income from previous years.
I'm view of the decline in the gross
and net revenues of the company in
the latter part of 1918 and so far in
the present year and as there are still
large expenditures to be made in the
current year for the flood damage of
1918, the directors deemed it prudent
to reduce the dividend"

REFUSED PERMIT
TO IMPORT ANTS

New York. March 25.-The hill of
Amber Meadow ants, which Mrs.
Charles w. Morse, wife Of the former
banker. brought with her last week
on her return from Paris, will not be
allowed to enter this country. They
are injurious insects, it is held, and
upon instructions from the department
of agriculture in Washington. the act
ing collector of the port. A. Stuart, has
prohibited the attempted importation.
In polite communication Mrs. Morse
was asked today by the acting collec-
tor for her consent to the delivery OF
the box containing the insects to the
bureau of entomology in Washington
for destruction. ...
Government entomologists have pro
nounced the amber ants damaging to
meadows, lawns and in some instances
field crops, the communication states,
and as such they come under an act
of COM ngress prohibiting the importa-
ton of insects injurious to vegetation.

STILL TRYING TO

UNITED MINE WORKERS OF
MIDDLE WEST HOPE TO
AGREE WITH OPERATORS.

Chicago, March 25.-Members of the
policy committee of the United Mine
Workers of America met here today
in an attempt to outline plan for
a settlement Of the wage dispute be-
tween the soft coal miners of western
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and I'LL
nois and the mine owners.
The joint wage conference between
the miners and operators adjourned
sine die yesterday when no settlement
could be reached after week of dis
cussion Although the existing wage
scale expires April l both the miners
and operators announced that the pos
of strike is remote.
Demands of the Ohio miners were
said to have been the cause of dis
agreement in the joint conference.
The last Ohio legislature passed a law
providing for the mine run system Of
payment Under the new law the
Ohio miners wanted the wage scale
to mine run basis and six
per cent increase in pay. The opera
tors objected to this clause.
Another joint conference may be
called if the policy committee succeeds
in drafting an agreement which meets
the demands of the Ohio contingent

The portion relating to the Panama

II will not say that we constructed

For l am speaking with great frank

will profit most by it for you have the

Princeton Proper Place, Is
Sarcastic Claim; Talk
Draws Hot Reply

Washington, D. c., March 25.-The
Panama tolls fight crept out in the
senate today when Senator Jones. one
of those opposing repeal Of the exemp-
tion read letter from William B. Lar
kin of Boston, assailing President VIII
sons contention and saying "the presi-
dent should be returned to the classic
shades of Princeton instead Of being
permitted to continue to bulldoze &C
credited Representatives Of the Ameri-
cans in congress-
Senator Thomas criticized Senator
Jones as detracting from the dignity
Of the senate by reading letters that
almost charged the president with
treason Senator Jones responded he
was not criticizing the president, but
believed his correspondents had grasp
ed the idea that the people and con-
gress were entitled to know why con-
gress should repeal free tolls.
Should foreign relations justify the
course, / am sure congress will sup
port the president irrespective Of party
but II is entitled to know the reasons
on which 1t acts" replied Senator
Jones' -"
The letter incident ended with Sen
ator Chamberlain taking up his resolu-
tion to repeal the tolls on inland
waterways levied in the river and
harbor bill of 1884, which forbids the
levying OF tolls on inland water ways.
He repeated his charge that the "in-
sidious influences behind the Panama
repeal were the Canadian Pacific and
other transcontinental railroads, but
he fastened to add that he did not
mean to intimate the president was &C
tuated by those influences. He refer
red to the president as a thoroughly
patriotic gentleman, who believes In
whatever he does and that he is doing
for the best interests of the country

No Money in Sight

Berlin, March 25.-The trip to
Africa which the crown prince has
been promised this year. has been
definitely abandoned. 1t is under.
stood that the reason for this step is
the emperor's objection to the crown
prince interrupting his work on the
general staff of the army by such a
long absence. Another reason put
forward in some quarters is that the i'm

preparation to cover the expenses
