Wilfred Jessup Proposes
Committee to Offer Conf
dental Advice to Plants
Showing No Profit.
JORDAN'S PLAN WAS UP
New Industries Board Con-
tinues Study of Quarter
Million Dollar Company to
Attract Plants.

After meeting of the new indus
tries committee of the Commercial
club yesterday afternoon to consider
the organization of quarter of mil
lion dollar industrial association to
boost Richmond as manufacturing
city, the members decided to continue
to seek public objections Of business
and professional men and to look for
rough places" in the plan.
Secretary Jordan announced he has
received unsolicited, an offer of local
man to put $4,000 into the plan.
The members of the committee are
men of high business stand in the
city, Mr.. Jordan inform them that
President Seidel had selected each
member of his ability to accomplish
things and because of successful busi-
ness ventures.
Acts With Caution.
The committee decided to go about
the plan cautiously and although it
looks thoroughly feasible, to find
every point of objection possible. At
a later time when the committee can
hold longer session, night meeting
will be held.
Wilfred Jessup, a member of the
committee, offered the suggestion that
w Allc ouCA' q pldA ID UClh6 uloCuooCu,
something should be introduced to re-
lieve established industries here
which are not entirely successful.
He suggested committee consist
ing of lawyer, accountant and manu-
facturer be appointed confidentially
and that business men who feel their
business declining, throw open the
books to them privately and permit
thorough examination of the busi-
ness. The committee could then de-
eide for what reason, no advance is
being made.
The committee on new industries is
composed of the following members ::
Howard A. Dill, chairman, w. F.
Bockhoff, Henry Goldfinger, o. G.
Murray, Alfred Bavis, Paul Comstock,
A. w. Blickwedel, George LeBoutilier,

Thoroughly alarmed because of the
publicity given their questionable
efforts to raise money for the purpose
of promoting their project. Purtelle and
Fitzgibbons last night made frantic eff
forts to "get themselves in the clear. "
The prospects of an investigation OF
their illegal stock selling campaign by
the Indiana public service commission
prompted them to lose not minutes
time in a desperate effort to offset the

stantiates the charges that have been
preferred against them.
But their efforts were fruitlesS. A
local banker, whom they aroused from
his slumbers last night flatly refused
to sign a statement to the effect that
Purtelle had made no effort to cash a
note for $25 which Henry Rothert had
given Purtelle with the understanding
that it was to be held for sixty days
and then applied to the purchase of a
share of the company's preferred
stock, par value $100, if at the end OF

pany had been perfected and work on
the construction of the road begun.

This banker however, refused point
blank to sign such statement for the
simple reason that he had personal
knowledge that Purtelle had attempted
to realize on Rothert's note. The in

This year plowed up some old pas

which grew very rank unless kept

very early in August. and the harrow.

they can be successfully planted in the

plow the land this winter some time
and let the freezing weather OF the
winter act on the soil. thus producing
better seed bed. and the planting can
be done much earlier in the spring.
Remember this, that the onion is a
cool weather loving crop and does its
best growing In early spring, thus

planting be done either In the fall or

EDUCATION IN PRISON.

Most encouraging results are pelhs reported from every prison where the inmates are being allowed or re- ouired to spend portion of their time in school. The superintendent of the Maryland penitentiary declares that illiteracy is the real cause of many mans going to prison and that removing illiteracy is one Of the best means of preventing prisoners from being sent back to prison after they have served their terms and been given a new chance in life.
 Most of the reports agree that the greatest benefit resulting from the prison schools is in developing as piration on the part of the convicts
 This aspiration is much broader than the mere desire to learn how to read and write and to acquire the other elementary instruction that is glv- en. It opens a new vista to men inclined to be discouraged and sul- len, and the visible evidence of their own progress is a constant encour- agement to them. We are not sur'- prised at the statement that the war den considers the school his best constructive agency. It is but year and a half since men were pooh poohing the idea of introducing re- formative processes into the Mary land penitentiary. To such of them as remain, the evidence of what has been and is being accomplished through this one means of encour- agement should be revelation.--Ex.

MORE TYPICAL
 MORGAN FINANCE

Testifying before the Interstate Commerce Commission on May 29, J. H. Willard, president of the Bal timore and Ohio, added to the story of frenzied finance. He said that in 1909, J. P. Morgan sold the Cincin- nati, Hamilton and Dayton railroad to the B. and O. When MT. Morgan took over the c. H. and D. there were outstanding obligations amounting to $23,OOO,OO0 constituting a first lien against it. Additional obligations were then incurred, bringing the to- tai to $50 000, ,O00, and in this condi- tion the road was sold to the B. and O., which agreed to assume respon- sibility for this indebtedness and to buy by the year 1916 the S0,000 shares of c. H. and D. common stock held by J. P. Morgan & Co. at a minimum price of $34 a share and maximum of $44, in accordance with the decision of board of arbitra- tiOn.
 There is furthermore a legal ques- ton to be settled of the responsi- bility of the B. and o. for $7,500,000 of obligations of the Pere Marquette road now in the hands of a receiv- CT. The c. H. and D. has been un- able to meet interest on its obliga- tons for the past year and the stock for which the B. and o. must pay $34 share has at present no val ue. The transaction occurred be- fore MT. Willard became president of the B. and O. The road was represented in the deal at the time by committee containing its then president, Oscar Murray. and Sam uel Req, now president of the Penn sylvania. Since Willard became pres ident the B. and o. has borrowed $s1,000,OOO of which $23,00O.OOO has been used to rehabilitate the c. H. and D.
