Here the days were devoted exclusively
! to business. while in the evenings bust
ness was combined with some pleasure.
The house was thrown open at night 10
the public and until 10 o'clock anybody
who wished entered to see the wonder Of
| the age-the electric light. There was a
great rush of visitors. Finally Edison
settled down to work out his pet plans to
light the big city of New York. Event
ually the parlOrs at s. Fifth avenue drew
in the evening such notables as J. Pier
pOnt Morgan, NOrvin Green, Grosvenor
P. Lowrey. Henry Willard, Robert =
Cutting. Edward d. Adams, ]. Hood
Wright. f. G. Fabbri, r. VI. Galloway
and others prominent in city life Edi-
son himself was in great request and
was the subject of much adUlatiOn. but
he was no man for that. Occasionally he
would yield and explain this or that to
some visitor without regard TO the per-
sOnal equation.
Up to the time of leasing the Fifth
avenue mansion the Edison Electric
Light Company has enjoyed merely the
delights Of anxious anticipation. and the
perilous pleasure of backing expert
ments." Now every mail brought from
all parts OF the country requests for in
formation about the new electric light

all these letters Edison turned over to
the company fOr attention. Soon the
company was deluged with offers to buy
territorial rights, some Of which were
accompanied with an offer of a large
cash sum. Thus began a wave of busi-
ness and profits.
others Signed the Cheeks.
The inventor was too busy in his shops
to see the money come in. There was
trouble with the life of the lamps at %
Fifth avenue. and Edison rushed to his
shop at MenlO Park to try TO IenEthen
their life through further experiment.
Then something would go wrong with
the dynamOs, and he would rush OF to
the GOerCk street place to see what could
be done about that. Thus he was kept
busy in the mechanical departments,
while others attended to the correspond
ence and took in the cash. Edison gave
to another a power of attorney even to
sign checks in order that his whole time
nigh; be devoted to pCrfecting the light
ing system itself.

isfy the huge remainder of the world.
An educational campaign was finally de-
cided upon. The inventor established
the first central station in New York
City. so he could personally superintend
the installation and operation.
Thus far Edison had only his lights.
He foresaw he would need other devices
such as dynamOs, switchboards, regu-
lators, pressure and current indicators.
fixtures in endless variety. incandescent
lamps, meters, sockets, small switches,
underground conductors, junction boxes.
service boxes, manhole boxes. connectors
and specially made wire There were
then none of these in existence and it fell
to the inventor of the light to supply also
all these other parts Of the system.
He started first of all a lamp factory
at Menlo Park. equipped it with novel
machinery and instructed boys and girls,
as well as men. as fast as he could en-
list them in the art Of turning out elec-
trio light fixtures and parts. To inter-
est his own company. the Edison Elec-
trio Light, in manufacturing these things
the inventor agreed to deliver to it at

this offer The lamp works were moved
from Menlo Park to Harrison. and. by
the fourth year the cost Of making was
reduced to 81 cents. In one year Edi-
son reCouped all his losses of the thre.
previous years. Whereupon Wall street
decided it must be a very lucrative bust
ness. They wanted to buy. Finally they
did buy. and before long the company
was declaring a dividend every Saturday
night. The works brought SI.OS5. 600

Now continued Commissioner Nc
Chord, the idea then is that this $50,

and improve business in the country"

Clifford Thorn attempted to bring out
that the Baltimore and Ohio was now in
better stage of efficiency than at any
time in its history due to money spent on
permanent improvements, eduipmen.
etc, and Mr.. Willard admitted that 1t
was in better shape, but that many i'm
provements were desirable and neces-
sary.
On cross-examination by Louis D.
Brandeis, Mr.. Conant said that the cost
Of money to the railroads would increase
from to H per cent. Mr.. Brandeis es-
timated that the proposed increase of 5
per cent in rates was out of all proper
ton and excessive to the increased cost
OF money to the carriers.

CALL LOAN RATES
DOWN l PER CENT
New York Bank Notifies Customers Of
Reduction from Eight to
Seven,

One Of the largest Wall street banks
has notified its customers of a reduction
OF the rate on call loans from per cent
to Z per cent As the bank in question
was the first to advance tho rate from 6
to s per cent following the closing OF the
exchange, the announcement which II has
now made Of a reduction is regarded as
a significant sign OF improvement in the
money situation.
The following notice, signed by George
W. Ely, secretary. has been posted in the
New York Stock Exchange:
Announcement Is made that a bank
has a moderate amount OF money to loan
on call at per cent. On application at
the New York Stock Exchange clearing
house. IS New street, members desiring
to borrow will be placed in communica-
ton with said bank
The announcement that one OF the
banks has a moderate amount Of money
to lend on call at 7 per cent is the first
instance of willingness OF any OF the
financial institutions to make new loans
since business on the stock exchange was
suspended. Loans outstanding on July %
have not been disturbed, and when time
loans matured they were continued on
call; but no new lending was done. and
the announcement now made is, there
fore, considered highly important.

Tom Grant secretary of the Chamber

to be with the railway supply men at

for their next national convention. In
the old census building has been found
enough floor space for this big conven-
ton for the first time. but the owners
want 5000 rent for it for ten days This
sum is regarded as exorbitant, but the
hotel men will see today how much
money they can raise to help bring the

real big conventions and is considered
worth at least $4,000 to the city.

THE HEARING IS RESUMED

The Interstate Commerce Commission
resumed consideration Of the reopened

nesses being heard. Daniel Willard.
president Of the Baltimore and Ohio;
Charles A. Conant, an expert in fnan-
cial matters, and Frederick W. Strauss,
Of ]. & W. Seligman, representing the
Investment Bankers Association.
Mr.. Willard ELECTED from Commission
er McChord the statement that the ap-
pIication Of the carriers for an increase
was favored generally throughout the
country.
Mr.. Conant, who was placed on the
stand by the carriers, advocated favor
able action on the application for an in
crease in freight rates for the thirty
eight Eastern carriers for the effect it
would have in stabilizing American rail-
way securities, and he stated among
other things that industrial and other
corporations were interested in such ac-
tion as their interests were interviewer
with those Of the railroads.
Mr. Strauss advocated the granting of
the increase for the purpose Of uphold
ing credit, and for the purpose of pre-
venting the flooding Of the American
market with railway securities held
abroad.
No Reason for DIscriminAtioH.
1t was brought out several times that
there seemed to be no reason why the
railroads should be treated dinerntly in
the present disturbed condition Of af-
fairs than industrial and other concerns
which have been hard hit by the Euro
pesn war.
President Willard declared that the
public interests demand not only the ade-
duate maintenance Of existing rail-
roads, but a constant increase Of trans
portation facilities. He stated that as a
matter Of fact 10 per cent would not be
an excessive amount to ask for.
