AMSTER OFFERS TO JOIN
Willing to Act with r. I. Bond
holders Committee.

Nathan l.. Amster, of Boston, who,
as holder of the collateral trust
bonds of the Chicago. Rock Island &
Pacific Railroad Company, has been
opposing the plan of the Wallace pro-
tective committee for distributing the
stock of the old railway company, has
issued a statement in which he says
he will join the committee with the
bonds he represents IL ats sole object
is to secure the actual delivery to the
bondholders of the pledged stock at
the earliest possible moment"
With the bonds he represents Am
ster claims he can deposit with the
committee enough bonds to make up
the 60 per cent needed so that the
bonds can be sold IN bloc, as directed
by the trust agreement At the close
of business yesterday the committee
announced that IL had received SAL
444,00 of the bonds. including the
S7,000,000 deposited IN Holland.
Commenting on Amster's claim that
the pledged stock of the underlying
Rock Island property should be sold
for the benefit Of all the bondholders,
Albert II. Rathbone, counsel for the
Wallace committee, said 1t was impos-
sibe for the trustee or any one else
to buy in the stock in this manner, as
those who demand cash possess the
legal right to get il.
Notice was given by the committee
yesterday that all bondholders who
wish TO participate in its plan must
deposit their bonds on or before No
vember 81.

LEVY FOR FEDERAL
RESERVE SALARIES
100000 Provided by Congress
Eaten Up and It's
Paw Day.

Washington, Nov. 1.-The Federal
Reserve Board to-day announced its
plan to remedy slight defect in the
new currency act and provide for the
payments of its members salaries.
Throlyh Secretary Willis it announced
LEVIN of four-tenths of / per cent
against the Federal Reserve Banks to
defray expenses for the first half
year Of its existence.
The law gave the organization COM
mittee, which preceded the board in
preliminary work, 100000 to spend,
but it was not contemplated by Con-
gress that the banks would not be in
operation for nearly eleven months.
The expenses Of the board and its as
sistants are to be paid by the banks,
and officials hoped that they would be
in operation long before salary checks
were needed here. This 100000 has
been spent, however, and the levy was
found 10 be necessary. Secretary Will
lis announced that the expenses includ-
ed an estimated charge of 100000 for
dies and the preparation Of federal re-
serve notes. This item in the future is
expected to be much smaller. The act
ual cost of maintaining the board has
not been finally estimated.
Reserve banks are to pay one-thlrd
Of the assessment at once, q third
within thirty days and the rest within
sixty days.

B. 3 O. REPORTS
LOWER EARNINGS
Decrease of S2,430.000 in Net
Revenues - Willard on
Rate Plea.

The Baltimore g. Ohio Railroad. in
its pamphlet report for the year ended
June 80, 1914, shows a surplus after
payments Of preferred dividends
amounting TO $685. 1913, which was
equal to $50 per cent on the company's
S152, II ,46S common stock, compared
with 722 per cent earned on the same
stock in 1913. The 1914 earnings were
calculated before making any provision
for S1.328,S92 discount on securities
sold during the year, or S909,27l un-
collected interest on advances 20 the
Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton. Both
these items were charged 10 profit and
loss.
Total operating revenue last year
was 1902, $50, decrease Of S4,297,-
$40. Operating expenses decreased ST.
86G.962 and net revenue from all
sources was S24,47l,30 a decrease of
S2,430,SS0.
Commenting upon the falling of in
net operations, President Daniel Will
lard says that largely because of the
extraordinary flood expenditures of 81
100000 which were charged to operat-
ing expenses during the year, together
with the recession i'm business, the net
operating income fell short of the full
amount required loI tht Fti wiz
dividend which has been paid on the
common stock for the last eight years
The only reference made by Mr.. Will
lard TO the Eastern freight rate adj
vance case is In connection with the
resolution 10 maintain the dividend
rate on the common stock last year.
"In reaching this conclusion" he
saws, reconsideration was given to the
application for an increase IN freight
rates then pending before the Inter
state Commerce Commission, as re-
suit of which it is hoped that the com
pany may be permitted to so adjust its
charges as to Offset in part at least the
Increased expenses of a permanent nat
uce, such as higher rates of pay, IN
creased taxes, etc, and thereby be en-
abled to earn a fair return upon the
property investment"

1000 GOLD BARS
S10,000,000 at Assay Office,
with More to Come-Eight
Trucks TO Carry II.

Eight big automobile trucks rolled
up 10 the Assay Office at | o'clock yes
tcrday afternoon, and In each was the
ransom of king Guarded by armed
men in the wagons and by policemen
and secret service Operatives" in Its
journey up the inclined plane 90 the

local supply that which had been sent
TO Canada in the past month or more.
There were a thousand bars, worth
$4,000 apiece. Each was In what
appeared TO be n canton flannel bag,
so that the loss by abrasion in handling
might be made up 10 some extent by
reclamation from the bags in washing.
For further protection they had been
placed in large wooden chests, Of
which each truck contained two And
o. the top Of every chest was seated
Of sawed-off shotgun focused on
the tailboard Of the truck.
At the same time the gold was being
unloaded at the Assay Office a some
what similar operation was occurring
at the Clearing House. though the
amount involved was smaller and the
material less obviously precious. At
the Assay Office they were carrying in
gold bars on little hand trucks; at
the Clearing House they were digging
suitcases full of gold certificates out
OF the inwards OF venerable coup6s.
Altogether little over $3.200,000 Of
