Reyes Declared Alive.

Persistent rumors prevailed last week
that Rodolf Reyes. one Of the impris-
oned DEPUTIES and formerly Minister OF
Justice in Hucrta's Cabinet, had been e8-
ecuted within the walls Of the peniten-
tiary. Although officials denied the ru-
NOR. they did not do so At first IN man
ner to convince but rather eVasiVeiy anu
eouivocallv. This led many persons 10
believe that there was something IN the
rumor. but this morning "El Independi-
ente," one Of the government organs as
serts that REYES is safe in his cell In the
penitentary.
h Ever since his student days Young
REYES has been a restless but uniformly
unsuccessful politician. He was reearded
as the political mentor Of his late father'
General Bernado Reyes. and majority
OF Mexicans believe that TO Rodolfo
guidance may be attributed his father :
constant political blunders, and that II
the general had followed his own judy
ment. instead Of the promptings Of his
impulsive young son. he might have been
President OF Mexico, instead of dying
with a bullet in his head in front Of the
national palace whlo leading the revolt
against Madero last February
There would DC nothing, however. 70
palliate the execution OF Rodolfo Reyes
AT the present time. and it IS thought that

they would have been carried out long

HOLDING COMPANIES AIM.
+. y. Homer DInercntiates Monop-
olies from Investment Concerns.

Francis T. Homer. of Bertron, Griscom
Co. OF New York, says:
Holding companies are corporations or
ganized for the purpose OF acquiring the
stocks OF other companies, thereby con-
trolling the operation and management OF
such other companies, having themselves
no active business.
THE convenient method afforded
through the instrumentality OF holding
companies to acquire majority interests
in competitive corporations and thus
dominating from a point of central con-
troll the business of several or many sub
salaries in a manner not in accord with
public sentiment, has brought holding
companies into disrepute. This has not
been entirely unmerited. as many holding
companies have used the power thus Sc
cured. through the ownership OF stock
control in various corporations TO stamp
out competition, TO establish monopolies
and TO increase profits at the expense of
the public. Under the cloak OF holding
companies they have resorted at times,
not only 10 unfair but absolutely dis
honest business methods, destructive of
competitors and injurious to the best in
terests of the nation as a whole.
Unfortunately. these holding COM
panies Of controlling interests in fields
OF business where restraint is harmful
are not differentiated from the class of
holding companies. really investment COM
panies. dealing In lines where the accumu-
lated power thus secured cannot be used
except for good, instead of evil Such
are the holding companies that have been
becoming more and more popular and
effective in meeting the requirements of
public service corporations. meaning
thereby street railway and interurban
companies, gas companies, electric light
companies, and water power companies.
so far from holding companies in this
line OF activity endeavoring to become
interested in competitive situations and
thereby restrain competitive activity. the
purpose Of the holding company is to ac-
quire interests In companies widely dis
tributed. serving different communities
and localities. so that. through the joint
control and management. the aggregate
result will show. not isolated conditions
of prosperity or depression. but the more
stable average incident to serving widely
separated communities"

An Argument in Figures.

President Daniel Willard, of the Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad, made no ar
gument, as the term is accepted, when
he appeared before the Interstate Com
merce Commission yesterday to give
Testimony as to the necessity of permit
ting the railroads to increase their rates |;
but his figures argued eloquently. Being
asked whether in his opinion a crisis
now confronted the railroads, he re-
Piled in several brief sentences in the
affirmative, the most significant being
a reafirmation of conditions concerning
labon so frequently pointed out in re-
cent weeks; He said:
1t would be condition of crisis for
the workingmen if large numbers of
men should be deprived of their posi-
tions and opportunity to earn hveli-
hood, not because of the lack of need of
their services, but because of the ina
bility of employers to pay.
Explaining this inability to pay, Pres
ident Willard produced some interest
ing figures. He showed that in three
years ending in June, 1913, the company
expended Ss6,ooo,ooo, adding largely to
its facilities. In the year, 1910, the road
being used TO its maximum, it earned
about 100000. In 1913 most of the
improvements resulting from the ex-
penditures were completed and with its
increased facilities the road earned
SIo3ooo,ooo, the largest amount in its
history. Yet the net corporate income
for 1913 was smaller by $4,000 than in
1910
Where did the revenue go? Mr.. Will
lard showed plainly. Four million dol
lars was spent on account of increased
wages; S55I,ooo on account of increased
cost of ties and fuel, and $4,000 on ac-
count of compliance with State laws;
S643,oeo on account of increase in taxes,
and S2,Sooyooo in fixed charges on the
S56,oooooo capital invested. He added
that the floods of last March cost the
road approximately SI,oo7ooo.
Everywhere increased charges were
shown except in the charges made by
the road for its services. The commits
sion may well ponder over President
Wizards figures.
